Here Comes the Sun (Signs) - Romance, Astrology and You (Part Two)
Earth Signs
In Part One, I talked about how astrology can determine how you
act and react in romantic situations. We also covered the fire
signs. Earth signs are physical and have to do with primarily
material affairs. They are natural and their feet tend to be
firmly planted on the ground, “earthy” types. The hallmark of
earth signs is practicality.
TAURUS - (April 21 - May 21) Taurus is ruled by Venus and its
symbol is the bull. Taurus is an Earth sign which is connected
with fruitfulness and stability. You love luxury and sensual
comforts such as silky satin sheets, robes fit for a king or
queen and beautiful surroundings. You seek comfort, security and
beauty. A perfect romance to you is one that is harmonious and
beautiful, even if a bit materialistic. Because of your fondness
for pretty things, you will proudly display your possessions and
purchasing power. You are easygoing, calm, and comfortable to be
around. You enjoy sharing “quiet times” with your love interest
and also get excited about everyday activities such as shopping
and cooking and dining. You tend to be stubborn and will do
whatever you can to get what you want. When it comes to
showering affection on the object of your desire, you enjoy
physical contact. You have a very sensual nature and appreciate
the pleasures of food, art, music, perfumes, fondling, or sex.
Because you appreciate nature; a walk in the woods, hiking and
rock-climbing may be considered exciting dates. You also love
sunsets camping, gardening and simply being outdoors and can be
attracted to those who are equally down-to-earth and outdoorsy.
As long as your partner or mate displays the qualities of
loyalty and honesty qualities which you likely possess, they
will have your undying loyalty and a relationship destined to
endure.
VIRGO - (August 23 - September 22) Virgo is ruled by Mercury and
is symbolized by the Virgin. As an Earth sign, Virgo is
connected with material things and practicality. The ultimate
organizer, you gravitate toward anything that puts your
analytical mind to use. To the outside world you may appear
reserved and tend to hold back your emotions, when it comes to
love, it’s no holds barred for the loving Virgo. You display
great attention to detail which can be considered good fortune
or a curse when it comes to relationships. You are good at
remembering your partner’s desires (even those that were only
mentioned in passing) and love to cater to those desires. To
you, organizing the object of your affections is considered
“flirting.” Your favorite role is to be of help and service to
friends and partners. You are witty, perceptive and logical.
Your reasoning powers help you to resolve conflicts easily and
quickly taking your romance to new depths. You need a partner
who will help you loosen your cautious shy nature. You are a
good listener and communicator, an important aspect in romance.
You love to “fuss” over your partner and can sometimes be seen
as critical. Your partner should know though, that if you were
not interested, you would not work so hard to help your love
interest be “all he or she can be.” Good health is of great
concern to you and you work hard to take care of yourself. You
aim to please and when it comes to love you fall hard. Virgos
are most attracted to those who keep themselves physically fit.
Capricorn - (December 22 - January 20) Capricorn is ruled by
Saturn and is symbolized by the sea goat. As an Earth sign,
Capricorn is motivated, determined and sets practical goals.
Taking unnecessary risks is not your “thing,” even in the area
of romance. You are ambitious and responsible. You will, however
do “whatever it takes” to get what you want. Social status,
reputation, position, and career are important to you. You use
these to impress and attract the object of your desires. When it
comes to love, no silly games for you, you prefer a more mature
approach to courtship. Glamour and dazzle are more your style -
so an evening that starts out in a limousine would be perfect.
You are supportive and dependable, good qualities in any
relationship. Security, a good home, and the finer things in
life are what you strive for. You do not shy away from
commitment, as long as it is with the right person - in fact you
“play for keeps” and will be forever faithful. Some might
consider you a loner, but do not be fooled by the aloof
Capricorn. You are longing for a deep, meaningful relationship
with just the right partner. Capricorns can be as powerful in
the bedroom as they are in the boardroom, so lovers beware. You
are seen by your peers as a “winner” and often attract the same.
When it comes to romantic adventures, you are both practical and
romantic so a perfect getaway for you could include both work
and play.
