Q: Hey Venus Astro, I’m Taurus Rising and constantly stuck in inertia or just coasting along. I know exactly what I want, I set goals, but then I get distracted, or just stop. So I start off all inspired, but then balk at what I need to do and then find ways to talk myself out of it. Then it’s back to the drawing board… It’s driving me nuts. Sometimes things I want DO just seem to fall into my lap without me having to do much at all, but most of the time I’m feeling frustrated, annoyed with myself and stuck. I’m constantly second-guessing myself when I try to take on bigger projects and goals. Then I start focusing on food and other stuff that makes me feel better. I’m so over this, any recommends for how to shift this inertia and self-doubt would be great.
A: Okay, so here’s the paradox with Taurus Rising, and Taurus Sun or Moon at times. You’re wanting tangible results without having to do much. Taurus is all about the sensual realm and being surrounded by beauty. So you’ll have bursts of determined focus, and then get swept up with intoxicating sensory pleasures and your love of daily routines.
Venus who rules the Law of Magnetic Attraction rules Taurus. That means you tend to want things to just come your way, without having to do anything. Other than just think it. With Venus as a major ally, you can at times attract what you want with ease. But as you have seen, it doesn’t always work – for a range of reasons, and some tricky placements in your birth chart. So your preferred manifesting modus operandi just slows everything down. Unnecessarily.
But what’s also driving this ‘let’s just take it one-day-at-a-time’ Taurean sensory distraction?
It’s the Taurean need for security, comfort and your general dislike of major change. Being surrounded by beauty and sensory pleasure is what soothes and calms you on a cellular level.
But what’s the trade off? Getting stuck in beliefs and situations that have gone way past their use-by date.
If you keep this up, your infinite manifesting potential gets squandered.
Your Moon is in Libra, so that’s where a lot of your indecisiveness comes from. You get stuck in weighing up different options and assessing the pros and cons.
So where do you need to most take action so you can enjoy the tangible results you know you want? Start doing practical steps each day. Start small and build up. The main thing is to be consistent. It’s about embracing the world of action Taurus Rising.
