Each sign has external, internal and structural relationships. Externally, Taurus rules the throat, neck, ears and lower jaw. Internally, it rules the thyroid gland, pharynx, larynx, jugular vein, tonsils, Eustachian tubes, cervical ganglia and carotid arteries. Structurally, it rules the occiput, cervical vertebrae, lower jaw and teeth, chin and palate. The pathological tendencies of this sign are stroke, croup, tonsillitis, lymphatic stasis of the neck and head and laryngitis. Vulnerable parts of the body are the neck, throat, shoulders and upper torso. Stiff necks, sore throats and earaches are common Taurean complaints.
Practical, reliable Taureans are great lovers of sensual pleasures, although they tend to be rather stubborn, possessive and conservative. Firmly anchored in the material world, they have a fine grasp of what is needed in order to lead the good life. Taureans are capable in emergencies, where they have an instinctive understanding of what to do, but under normal circumstances, no-one can force them into anything without due time for thought and consideration.
Taurus rules the throat, giving a powerful, often beautiful voice. The influence of Venus opens up a world of musical talent and appreciation, so Taureans are good singers and musicians, or at least, love music and can be a force on the business side of music.
Gemini, the Twins, is the first sign of the Air triplicity and the third sign of the tropical zodiac. The key phrase for Gemini is “I think”. It is a sign of lively communication, wit and breezy exchange of ideas, gossip and intellectual matters.
In Gemini, the soul force develops intellect in order to comprehend the universe. This karmic stage is concerned with information, communication, and creative writing. Gemini needs to express ideas and share information with others. The mature Gemini becomes a serious scholar, writer and researcher. The immature Gemini is a gossipy talker, nervous and high strung.
It is the sign of the hands and fingers and these individuals receive pleasure by using them, either in their work or even while they talk. Gemini’s anchor points are words. Their sense of safety is by talking and responding well to emergencies. Their memories are excellent. They react intellectually to everything they experience and yet are quite moody, hence their dual natured personality.
Geminians must work to acquire calmness of mind as well as body. They might begin well by learning to eat slowly and avoid using their hands in conversation and argument. This discipline will enable them to maintain control even during angry moments.
Geminians are described as the “perennial teenagers” as they always look younger than they really are. Their alert eyes are always full of humour, with a thin nose, upturned like a child’s and a light gait with a long neck. As a rule, they are adept with mechanical devices, working with jewellery, arts and crafts, or doing repair work. Gemini talents also include design, artwork and graphics, interior decoration, magic and illusion and music.
