achieve it..."
Philosophical ideas of the Zodiac
Zodiac system can serve as a creation of the natural
structure of human knowledge, allowing to preserve the achievements of culture
in mind and soul of the most accessible way (because it is inherent in our
nature and is inherent in the psyche)...
Astrology is unique in that from ancient times to the
present day is the only system so far that the same categories and describes
the nature and culture: the external and internal plan of human life, both
material and spiritual world. ...
Changing the signs of the zodiac is a sequential process
of nature: and as successive pattern of thinking of people of different
zodiacal types... Every period of life is repelled from the previous phase and
tends to follow. The views of the Zodiac are linked the same logical chain of
gradual transition from idea to idea, where one grows out of another...
The logic of the system itself is easy to learn
Zodiac.... The signs are reckoned from the points of the vernal and autumnal
equinox, winter and summer solstice. In each season, three characters: a
cardinal or principal (the sign of the beginning of the season or will sign),
sustained (middle of the season or a sign of feeling) and variable (the end of
the season or a sign of intelligence). Will begins, the feeling continues, the
mind changes. In addition, signs are divided into elements: fire (energetic),
earth (material), air (intellectual) and water (emotional), which corresponds
to the choleric temperaments, melancholic, sanguine and phlegmatic (the concept
of temperaments have been introduced by Kant - based on traditional medieval
images of the same elements)....
Philosophy of Taurus
- THE ESSENCE OF THINGS
On the conquest of the world is
subjective based second sign of spring, Taurus. As a sign of a stable, he
develops the idea of a cardinal sign of Aries: and to him our "I"
appears datum and support… This - the premise of subjective idealism of Kant
... But starting from the perspective of consciousness, Taurus is not confined
to it, and refers to the ways of knowing the external world…
Earth sign Taurus seeks truth
on earth, and its inherent ability to not break away from reality creates the
objectivity of his philosophy…
The "feelings", which
reveals the power of the archetype of the morning star and the goddess of love
Venus, Taurus builds his philosophy on sense experience .... Sense - the basis
of creation: and the more developed in the mythology of the image of the
goddess of love, the more devastating leave it manifests its features and
creating, animating, inspired by the power (you may remember Isis)…
In the seminal creation, which
illustrates the image of pulling a plow Taurus - the depth of love .... When
knowledge is based on the capacity of the senses, the consciousness not only
reflects reality, but creates it - that's the point of subjective idealism ....
Consciousness constructs for himself his own world, and it is - the basis of
human creativity….
The feeling can master the
world around them - to aspire to this sign, designing of its manifestations,
and their consciousness "I" - appears as a stream of sensations…
The philosophy of Taurus - creation of the
senses in the creation of conscious understanding of life. The experience of
life makes the learning process to include the whole being, as called
existentialism, Kierkegaard:. for which a basis of understanding reveals even
negative emotions (fear, despair), productively and positively leveraging the
hidden potential in them….
Emotionally, full-bodied
approach to life: the contemplative and unhurried - helping Taurus achieve the
depth, which we usually call wisdom... Turning to intellectual generalizations,
this sign reveals the foundation of knowledge and its limits. This path is
usually identified as a philosophical way of knowing, and not surprisingly, this
sign is the most prolific in philosophers…
Just as the images of the
Morning Star, or Dawn, associated with the archetype, symbolized beauty and
perfection of forms of the world, Taurus looks for the form and quality of
items that best reflect the essence of incomprehensible manifestations of life
- and to ensure the correctness of our conclusions... Home value is life itself
(according to Ortega Gesset) ... Process thinking in support of a feeling (and
feeling the movement, which is based on the idea) means the reproduction and
creation of life (such as people would like to see it, why values are important and fits the
definition of idealism)…
Sense draws its strength from
nature - and in the myths the goddess of love: the image which symbolizes the
timeless and eternal nature of life - has the power to raise (as Astarte
resurrects Eshmuna) ... Likewise, the creativity of ideas, revealing the depth
of the inner nature of human, as an art based on love, have a value of constant
rebirth of life…
The concept of a single life
is in the nature of all people, creating a natural prerequisite for the
unification of mankind to a higher level of consciousness, love and happiness -
which is building the images of the mind and works of art…
Manageress Taurus Venus is in
charge of the form, and Taurus is looking for the forms and quality of the
items that best reflect the essence of incomprehensible manifestations of life
- and to ensure the correctness of our conclusions…
The way the Taurus tends to
find indisputable, tangible material conditions of any theory, shows the
philosophy of Marx, who builds a theory of social development in the economic
foundation of unwavering.. . The same tendency reveals Taurus Freud who
knowingly makes a dogma of sexual theory: in order to guard against
superstition vague science of the soul. His notions of male and female may well
be classified as metaphysical categories…
The idea - I feel and get control …
Speaking quite simply, the
archetype of Venus symbolizes love and life, because the main value for Taurus
is life itself ... Creative mind and art based on love, have a value of
constant rebirth of life. The concept of life beginning unites all human
beings, creating a natural premise of unity of mankind on a higher level of
existence, love and happiness - which is building the images of the mind and
works of art ...

TAURUS - is a Fixed sign and is ruled by … Taurus is Ruled by Venus …
Taurus zodiac sign is
represented by the symbol of 'The Bull' and just like a bull, a Taurus person
is strong and silent. In the first instance, a Taurean comes across as
extremely quiet and reserved person. Only after you get close to him will you
have a proper conversation, rather than simple monologues. He moves
deliberately and is as steady as the Rock . Once a Taurus has made up his mind,
it is impossible to move him even slightly. If you leave him alone, a Taurean
will come across as a very easygoing person… You push him somewhat and he
becomes stubborn. Still trying to make him budge, beware of the violent temper.
A Taurus person is hardly impulsive and never gets angry without a reason. He is quite attracted to the opposite sex,
but attracting people to himself seems more preferable to him…
Taureans have this amazing
quality of bearing emotional and physical pain, even for years, without
grieving or complaining. The more the troubles come pouring in, the stronger he
will come out to be. A Taurus is nothing if not loyal and dedicated to his
family and friends… Sooner or later, the
money will come to them…
A Taurus is not stingy and his
pockets, along with his heart, are always open to friends and family. He loves
grandeur and he is deeply interested in the various forms of art. Music usually
has a very special place in his life. The ideas of a Taurus are always sensible
as well as practical. He is not the one to build castles out of air. Synonymous
with lasting love, Taurus people are not prone to wandering. They love luxury,
but detest waste and extravagance. Last but not the least, they are dependable,
strong, patient and trustworthy…
THE BODY - THE ZONE OF
TAURUS -
chin and neck …
HEALTH - Taureans usually enjoy
splendid health throughout their lives but if not, it is usually the nasal
tract and lungs which suffer from repeated infections. More time spent outdoors
in dry, mountainous regions is probably the best advice in this case… Taurus governs the throat and
neck and its subjects need to beware throat infections, goiter and respiratory
ailments such as asthma. They are said to be at risk of diseases of the genitals,
womb, liver and kidneys, and of abscesses and rheumatism. Because their body
type has an inclination to physical laziness, Taureans can be overweight…
Constellation of TAURUS
Taurus is one of the
constellations of the zodiac. Its name is a Latin word meaning 'bull', and its
astrological symbol is a stylized bull's head... Taurus is a large and
prominent constellation in the northern hemisphere's winter sky, between Aries
to the west and Gemini to the east; to the north lie Perseus and Auriga, to the
southeast Orion, to the south Eridanus, and to the southwest Cetus…
The constellation Taurus is
believed to have been identified with the bull since Chalcolithic times, and
possibly even depicted at the Lascaux caves,
along with the Pleiades cluster, around the year 15,000 BC. Babylonian
astronomers called the constellation the Heavenly Bull. Ancient Egyptians
believed that it represented a sacred bull, one associated with the renewal of
nature in spring… its wonderful main star, Aldebarán…
Myths and
Legends
In the most ancient versions,
Zeus (chief Olympian god) fell in love with Europa, daughter of the king of Tyre . For some strange
reason, Zeus transformed himself into the shape of a beautiful white bull in
order to attract Europa to him…
Even more oddly, Zeus' rather
unusual (to say the least) plan worked perfectly. Europa was so taken away with
the beauty and gentility of the white bull that she climbed onto the white
bull's back. Europa was then carried away by Zeus (still in the form of the bull)
to Crete …
Later versions of the myth say
that the bull was merely a messenger of the god, Zeus - who then delivered
Europa to Zeus on Crete …
The bull was Zeus in disguise
and Europe bore him three children - Minos,
Rhadamanthys and Sarpedon. Minos became king of Crete and his queen, Pasiphaë,
gave birth to a bull-headed son called the Minotaur which was later slain by
Theseus in the Labyrinth. Some say that Taurus is a later Cretan bull that was
slain by Herakles…
Both Taurus and Scorpio are
associated with ancient Egypt …
Age of Taurus
The concept of Astrological Age…
Simplistically, astrological
era - a long period of time (about 2160 years) during which the vernal equinox
(the location of the sun at the equinox) is projected onto a certain zodiac
constellation… The precession of the Earth's axis causes a constant movement of the vernal
equinox along the ecliptic at a rate of 50.3 arcseconds per year, at some
point, it defines the transition from one zodiac constellation to another. Not
to be confused with the constellations of the zodiac signs ... not to buy into
on a regular basis makes the "discovery" in astrology. The signs are
reckoned from the vernal equinox is always equal in length (30 degrees), and
moved behind her, along with the change of eras…Change of epochs is not
overnight, not instantaneously, but in historical terms this is a rapid,
revolutionary process. Visible beginning of an era that accounts for the
transition period, when it collected quantitative changes in culture are transformed
into a new quality - the era realized…
AGE Taurus - (4000 - 2000 BC) …
Taurus - the sign associated
with the element of Earth in its first manifestation and managed by the planet
Venus. It is a sign of primary material energies of the earth, its fertile
powers. The sign of the matter at its very young and the direct manifestation
of earthly and material goods…
Taurus represents the
formalized material thing, having a set of properties, but not correlated with
the surrounding material world in the bonds (other than genetic kinship
relations) ... At the level of Tau world is perceived primarily in its
materiality, and the space is conceived as much difference in things related
only to the unity of being, and in this respect identical ... Ultimately, space
Taurus - and the thing cognized material and sensual, but always life-giving
energies of the animated land…
Taurus - a very strong sign, a
sign of slow but steady work, especially formative. Taurus - a material form,
which gives a special feeling to him by his ruler Venus ... Resists Taurus
Scorpio - the sign associated with the element of water in its second
manifestation, the first of its ruler - Pluto, the second ruler - Mars ... Of
all the characteristics of Scorpio we are interested in the main - those that
are associated with the occult - secret knowledge, as well as its
characteristics as a sign, managed by Pluto - the planet, which determines the
global movement of human masses…
Chronological age of Taurus
coincides with the period of copper and bronze age… The development of copper
production is consistent with the idea of the era of Taurus, as this sign
is ruled by Venus - the planet is known to astrologers and alchemists
associated with the metal copper…
Taurus, with its material and
uniting all the vision of the world is consistent with existing in the
historical period of communal-gentile society in which the person is not a
developed individuality, personality, because it does not imagine himself
outside the family, but clearly feels his place in it. Even the world around
him all the same genus, which viewed the phenomenon of "generating"
and "generated" and the kinship between them…
Age of Taurus coincides with
the development and prosperity of the ancient civilizations of the East - Egypt 's Old Kingdom period, and Sumerian states
in Mesopotamia . It is easy to notice that the
main features of these correspond to the characteristics of civilizations sign
of Taurus. Egypt , Old Kingdom period - is primarily an agricultural
civilization in all its manifestations associated with the use and veneration
of fertility…
Explanation of farm labor is
devoted to creative, most extant paintings and written documents. Egypt
Science and materialistic empirical, largely subordinated to the practical needs
of agriculture. Thus, the observation of the Nile
floods and the movements of the heavenly bodies led to the development of
astronomy and astrology to create the calendar…
The symbolism of Taurus is
extremely developed in the Egyptian mythology and religion of the Old Kingdom . The gods in the images of bulls and cows
worshiped in many Prefectures. The myth is that first, all the gods and
goddesses were the bulls and cows of different suits. Then, at the behest of
the supreme god of all gods, the bulls were embodied in a black bull and the
cow-goddess - one black cow…
Subsequently, a black bull with
white markings identified with the god Apis, who at first especially venerated
at Memphis , and later - and throughout Egypt (it is
characteristic that the very graphic sign of Taurus back to Egiptskomu Apis).
Apis was considered the god of fertility and symbolized the soul (Ba), the
supreme god of the Egyptian pantheon - the sun god Ra. There was a myth that
the sun was born as a calf - cow heaven. About Ra "golden calf, born of
heaven," reads the texts of the pyramids…
The cult of the Taurus with the
emergence of the ancient Egyptian state was closer to the cult of the pharaoh…
In the most ancient texts, the
king called "Taurus", and in some mystery attached to his clothing
bull's tail. In the religion of Ancient Egypt , especially the cult of
Osiris, and revive the dying - the god of fertility and the king of the
underworld, symbolizing the life-giving force of the earth… This is dedicated
to the god of approximately one-third extant Egyptian myths. In general, the
gods of Ancient Egypt is quite physical and sensory comprehend (an essential
requirement of the sign of Taurus), they necessarily associated with the
material things that can be perceived through the senses - from the heavenly
bodies, or with animals, and their actions are largely related to agricultural
processes…
Ancient Egypt is
clearly seen the effect of the opposing sign Taurus - Scorpio. Egypt is
rightly considered the birthplace of the occult - Secret Knowledge. Hence it
came to us almost all the currently known esoteric astrology, alchemy, tarot,
palmistry, and others, formed the basis of modern occultism…
Known in antiquity, and later
in Christianity, the image of the legendary Hermes Trismegistus, inscribed on
the basis of occultism on the emerald tables (Emerald - Stone Calf) directly
back to the Egyptian god Thoth, the center of worship of which was located in
Shmun (Greek Germopol). Germany
(where he went modern term tightness) means the secret and hidden from the
outside world…
Esoteric Knowledge (or Hermetic
science) exist in parallel with the official religion, and carefully guarded by
the priests devoted to it, because, in their opinion, gave enormous power over
the surrounding material world … A typical example of the hidden knowledge can serve as
"Egyptian Book of the Dead", originally available only to Pharaoh and
high priest. These books, by the way, show that the world beyond the grave, and
the Egyptians thought the image of the surrounding material world…
Creating a huge army of labor
and management is only possible thanks to the patronage of Pluto - the first
ruler of Scorpio... However, very
stubborn and long-term building of the pyramids - it is purely in Taurus. It's
forming shapes, work on the harmonization of gross material forms, plastic and
sculpture. Pyramid - evidence of such work on the matter, they can serve as a
symbol of the age of Taurus...
Even more obvious connection of
the Old Kingdom period of Egypt with the sign of Taurus, will appear in the
analysis of the next astrological era - the era of Aries, when compared to
Egypt's New Kingdom, and the civilizations of antiquity. The cult of the Taurus
is not unique to ancient Egypt ,
but also for contemporary civilizations - ancient Mesopotamia, Central Asia , 3-2nd millennium BC… Especially widespread cult of
the sacred bull was in the ancient civilizations of the Indus
Valley (3rd millennium BC), as can be
judged the results of archaeological excavations at Mohenjo, Daro and Harappa … All these
civilizations have lost their grandeur and died with the advent of Aries.
And it was morning as God stood
before his twelve children, and each of them put the seed of human life... One
by one, each child came forward to receive your gift designated…
God said: "To you, Taurus, I give
force to embed the seed into the substance of ... Your work is very large,
requiring patience, - because you have to finish everything that was started or
the seeds will be wasted ... You should not doubt or think better middle, or
rely on others for what I am asking you to do… For this I give
you the Gift of the FORCE ... Use it wisely…. "
And Taurus stepped back into
place...
