Russian born Paralympian Athlete Tatyana McFadden has Venus in Taurus Winner of both the Boston Marathon & the London Marathon 2013 Born with spina bifida, paralysed from the waist she was abandoned by her mother and put into an orphanage that could not afford even a wheelchair for her. She had to walk on her hands for the first six years of her life and was not expected to survive for very long.  The commissioner of disabilities for the US Health Department, Deborah McFadden, visited Russia, had a different plan she adopted Tatyana bringing her up as a single mother and changed the course of her life.

Whilst here she will spend her time being naturally graceful, she is powerful and packs a powerful message behind the smooth seductive surface. Easily wanting to indulge in the fruits of the earth, Venus in Taurus leans towards the Epicurean. 

Michel Roux Jnr ‘The Marathon Chef’  has Venus in Taurus He has run the London Marathon 17 times to raise money for VICTA charity for visually impaired kids. Television’s Two Star Michelin Chef, inherited the Roux Brothers Dynasty and manages Le Gavroche, listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as having served the most expensive meal per head when three people spent $20,945 on one meal (including cigars, spirits, and six bottles of wine costing $19,248) in 1997.

Venus in Taurus has a somewhat ambivalent dialogue with money. On the one hand she smacks and licks her lips at the thought of spending of it and will have a million strategies for earning shed loads of it, the need to conserve it can also suddenly become overwhelming and imperative. Shops and restaurants are tailor made for the Venus in Taurus in the mood but so are banks and other financial institutions. Take your money seriously, develop plans to save it, spend it or just earn MORE of it. Venus in Taurus has money in mind even if this is seen as a revolt, counter force against it or a contentious force with it.

Basically Venus likes to indulge and so does Taurus. Feed the body in every way, anoint it, making it look good, smell good and feel so good aah! that is what Venus is about. 

UK runner Derek Hawkins has Venus in Taurus Only stepped up from track to Marathon in 2012 He ran it in just over 2 hours as he also ran the London Marathon 2013.

Venus has been explosive, impulsive and impatient during her time in Aries for the past month and has got us all kind of used to this way of being. Getting straight to the point, engaging respectfully, being pro-active and having high standards. How different is it going to be with Taurus the Bull running the ‘Love ‘n Money Show’? A word of advice, lean towards being convivial, civic and community minded. Also display and be proud of your worldly goods, develop your taste and indulge your desires. 

If you want to attract, be aware that during this time simplicity masks deep complexity, a simple message condensing a complex theory will be more effective, just as a homily sums up a tome, at the end of the day, for Taurus the simpler and more direct the better. No matter how difficult, tough or hard, for Taurus this can all be endured – if – it all makes sense, if there is a valid reason, if there is a tangible goal. 

BBC TV Presenter Sophie Raworth has Venus in Taurus ‘Its good for your body but more importantly for me its good for the soul.. I did it’ I finally managed my Sub 4 marathon finishing in 3 hours 56 minutes, I couldn’t stop smiling all the way down the Embankment and down the Mall to the finish line’ Sophie ran for the St John’s Ambulance after blacking out in last year’s race after the care she received was able to get up and finish.

Open up discussions on those difficult subjects you skirted around for the past month for fear of over stepping boundaries or being impolite, work out a plan or strategy that will be of practical and helpful use. If you mean well, trust yourself. Taurus bull’s muscles, when put to use, are powerful, graceful and a force to be reckoned with, and you too can exercise this visceral and potent power harnessed towards your goal.
We will all have a month where our relationships may get a bit more sensual and earthy. Very real and practical concerns can dominate our relating. We may get more in touch with our bodies, bending, flexing, feeding, draping, honing, preening and indulging them to squeeze the best out of them. Taurus is known for its stamina and can keep on going….and going….and going……

Before we get too carried away it may also be the case that we get much more blunt, materialistic and frustrated as we have to negotiate other beings who are equally desiring the things we have set our eyes on, also sometimes saying it strait from the hip just as it is can be unintentionally hurtful.
