WRITTEN IN THE STARS ... TAURUS

Spring has in theory sprung, although you can't tell in my neighborhood. The sky is overcast, and the gutters are filled with gray water and assorted whatnot. But I am here to welcome back the sun and the fruits of the earth. And what better sign with whom to celebrate the return of blooming nature than that embodiment of Mother Earth herself:

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)

Looking to get a gift for a Taurean buddy? Or are you a Taurus who just can't resist treating yourself (none of you can)? Try the following books matched up to the many facets of the Taurean nature.

Bull people are:

And what about the notorious stubbornness of this sign?

Well, they may get it in their heads to not read any book suggested by you or me. They love presents, though, and the whole act of unwrapping pretty packages. The Bull is the sign most connected to the earth, but Taurus is also ruled by Venus, bestowing on them a love for beautiful things and special relationships.

As long as you treat them with genuine affection and appreciation, Taurus friends will be yours forever.
