Introduction This in the fourth article in my series on astrology compatibility between the signs, a series I started in honor of Valentines Day. You can read my other articles by clicking the underlined links. But before you read on, here are some things I'd like you to keep in mind:

Venus is my sister.
Being a Taurus is means that you are one of a kind. There is absolutely no one like you and others that. It's the down to earth vibes mostly. We know Taurus is a earth sign, ironically my favorite color is green. I love any and every shade of green. I love taking nature walks through the national parks looking at the different wildlife that surrounds us. I take joy in consuming the sun rays along with aromatic scented flower beds and sweet little birdies singing a tune. I cannot imagine staying cooped up inside all day. I have to get outside and inhale that fresh air.

It's All in the Stars
There has been a fair bit of scholarly research on the subject of astrology and whether it has scientific or statistical merit-quite a bit more than I expected, honestly. It largely tacks toward there being no statistical correlation between personality traits and the sign in the zōidiakòs kýklos, the zodiac system with which most of us are familiar. There are some who did find correlation, but those studies were not repeatable. I've included a few references to some articles below, for fun. But the question before us isn't about the science, nor is astrology beholden to scientific approval or validation.

The Curious Goat
Growing up a Minister’s daughter, for many years I hadn’t given my star sign much thought. My upbringing was somewhat strict, very churchy, and the Zodiac was certainly not table talk at dinner. I could name the books of the Bible and tell you every major story of both testaments but I had no clue about the special characteristics of Capricorns ….

The Planetarium My Soul Belongs To
It makes sense. Doesn't it? If the Moon affects the Earth based off of its gravitational field. Wouldn't the planets affect the Earth due to their gravitational fields as well? And if these gravitational fields affect Earth itself, it makes sense that the Moon and the planets would affect the creatures living on Earth.

The war within me
Tiny little piles of paperwork are scattered across various surfaces in the house. There is a looming pile of clean clothes on the recliner. The bedclothes are crumpled into a corner up by the pillows. Dishes are stacked haphazardly on top of each other in the sink.

Bullheaded
When I was in my senior year all the girls in my homeroom decided to get tattoos. It became a trend that after they turned eighteen, they would come in the next day with their zodiac permanently inked into their bodies. At the time, I didn't even know what my zodiac was, but seeing as they all found it cool enough to 'vandalize' their bodies with it I decided to do some research.

What's Your Sign?
Looking up at the sun, moon and stars have been a marvel for millions of people. It all seems to be the unspoken eighth wonder in our world. They can give you a feeling of insignificance and purpose at the same time. For many people, the stars and sky hold the deepest secrets within our universe that we can only dream of fully understanding.

Horiscope: Pack Animal
Well, before I tell you about my sign I want to tell you a little bit about me. This way you can make an informed decision on whether or not the sign matches me. I am 35 years old. Life has been hard for me but I try to understand everyone's side of everything. I know that in a conflict both sides have a view point and to some extent both sides are right. Let's be honest from their prospective they are right. If they did not feel that they were right they would not fight. Though, I do acknowledge that some people tend to just like to fight to fight. Although in most cases my own family were not great to me; when I started a family of my own I decided I would do whatever it takes to protect and take care of them. I work many jobs to try to take care of my family. I love to be around trees and greenery. I enjoy being creative through writing, painting, drawing and occasionally crafts. I often ask for the advise of others to try to get a bigger picture of the situation; although I do not always follow the advise.

Differences
Everyone has a moon sign, and are born with a specific moon. What I mean is, an individual when they are born, they are born on one half of the moon chart (1st quarter, waxing gibbous, full, or waning gibbous). Or the other half (3rd quarter, waning crescent, new, or waxing crescent). This is the newest thing I've learned about birth charts.

A Break Down of My Personality That No One Asked For. Second Place in In the Stars Challenge.
I'll admit it, I kind of have an obsession with personality tests. I happen to know that I am a Type 3, INTP Slytherin. And what have I done with this information? Besides using it to come up with cool aesthetics, not a damn thing. But do I still click on every single Buzzfeed personality quiz that I see? Hell yeah.
