The Passive Taurian Male Bull

This is dedicated to Jason and includes excerpts from the book, Sextrology.

Ooooh, the Taurian male. An attractive man, indeed - the man obscure. "Huh? What . . .?" That's what you'll be saying.

Our Taurian male bulls are a smoldering, sexy, bunch of men. He operates behind the scenes, always keeping his intentions guarded and others in a constant state of guessing.

He is a man of reaction - not one of action. He forces others to play their hand before revealing his own. He disarms others, especially women, by playing coy - to the point of acting "clueless." He wants others to think he has no agenda - but, you see, that IS our steamy, male bull's agenda.

To disarm - and make others feel comfortable around him, all the while, he's working his angle behind the scenes.

By doing so, our male bull leads a rather stress-free life. He hangs back in situations, being the master of all he surveys. This ones like a kid in the candy store of life. A huge appetitite for pleasure, but lacking the inability to exert abstinence or self-discipline.

This one's all about the stimulation of the five senses. A come hither kind of guy.

At times, our male bulls, prone to lack self-discipline, tend to overstimulate these senses. Some, falling prone to the darker side of their traits, can become victims of alcoholism, sexual addiction, gambling, drugs, etc. Sextrology considers the male bull "The Idol." His lifelong goal is to be idolized, idolized, idolized - and worshipped by others.

He is a fixed (immovable) earth (grounded, stable) sign. His quadrant is The First Quadrant, which is that of self awareness. His number is 2, which is that of unity. Taurus is represented by the age range of 7-14, like that of a teenager. Forever viewing things in life as if it's the first time he's ever experienced them.

His libido is comparable to that of a teenager as well. Hormonally raging and forever seeking an outlet. His ruling planet is fittingly, Venus, which is that of love and romance.

Venus represents femininity. The Taurian male is in opposition to the Arian male here, whereas the Arian male is ruled by Mars, which represents masculinity. The male bull won't be a hard pressed man's man. Therefore, he plays a rather submissive role in life and in relationships.

If you ask the Taurian male where he'd like to go for dinner that night, most likely, his response will be, "Wherever you'd like to go." He's not much of a decision maker and, honestly, doesn't prefer to wear the pants in a love relationship.

The male bull is looking for stability. He'll attach himself to a woman who knows what she wants, and is making tracks towards it. He'll ride her skirt tails off into the sunset. He's cryptic to say the least, and when engaged in conversation with the male bull, you may get the feeling he's trying to tell you something, but won't come right out and say it.

He may leave you confounded. . . . .saying "What? Huh? Just spit it out."

The male bull is a somewhat twisted thinker who tends to go against the grain. And he feels it's his birthright to remain obscure. He shrouds himself in mystery, and likes it that way. He knows the power of provocation - and uses this to his advantage. He draws people and situations to him by doing so. He sees the value in becoming what others wish for him to be - even if it's an elusion. It's surely one that he'll work very hard to maintain.

This behavior gets the male bull farther in life and without much effort having to be placed into it. He finds that he usually doesn't have to fight for that which he wants. He waits, he watches, he evalutes. He's a strategist. Once his goals are securable and within his reach - he charges straight for them. He's not a risk taker by nature. He plans and plots, waiting for his desires to ultimately reveal themselves to him.

Don't be fooled by the male Taurian's passivity. It's actually a very powerful force he has working to his advantage. The male bulls motto according to Sextrology is this: "I Will". . . .have you in the palm of my hands. And most times, you won't even know it. He likes to possess things, and people, and will begin acquiring them at an early age.

Our male bull tends to build his own small harem of worshippers in life. He may pal around with younger individuals that look up to him in some way. He may develop a harem of female admirers on the side, of whom he will always refer to as only "friends." But in reality, they are more like "plan B." A dating pool of sorts, from which he can pull from at his leisure, if need be, or if his preferred stable relationship should happen to sour in his eyes.

And by souring, I mean - if you stop worshipping him and the idol that he envisions himself to be.

But the bull will remain in the stable relationship, he's all about stability and very little effort. He will simply begin to operate behind the scenes to take his gratification from life there - as oppossed to where he's no longer receiving it.

When this happens, he may trot out to pasture and begin socializing behind the barn with those bovines that have admired him from afar. All the while, maintaining his stable, comfortable, situation inside the barn - so as not to loose it.

In ancient times, bovines were symbols of worship. Viewed as God's of Fertility. Fitting for our male bull, as this is how he perceives himself mentally. Our male bulls are focused on terrestrial pleasures - again, the stimulation of those five senses he holds so dear.

In the workplace, he'll make himself the golden boy to the higher ups. He strokes those in power and plays up to his docile, compliant, demeanor he shows them. You see, to our male bull, everyone has a value - a price. This price he places on you will directly relate to how valuable you are to him - to how far latching onto you might actually take him.

He cultivates familiar ground, unlike our Arian brother who tends to seek greener pastures, the bull is always tilling around in the garden of life. Cultivating, fertilizing, watering - and hoping to see something grow from it, from the familiar scenes he working at the time. The Taurian male is always inspiring others to fall for him.

Again, the "I Will". . .have you in the palm of my hand, male Taurian motto comes into play.

Male bulls may have been raised by an overbearing mother, and a father figure that is viewed by his as a passive individual. This is where he begins to learn this behavior early in life. Dad may be psychologically absent in the marriage, and many times, may have a more compliant woman on the side. Thus instilling in the male bull that a man's attentions are diverted elsewhere.

As a result, the male bull attempts to overcompensate for his passive father's behavior and becomes a consort to his mother, who puts the screws to her boy. She begins making most of his decisions in life and controlling his every move. Thus, teaching the male bull his signature behavior. "Be who you are expected to be by others, take a passive stance, and role with the blessings of doing so through life." She teaches him that he will be rewarded for this - by having someone else do all of the hard work for him.

A backlash to this is that the mother tends to lavish misguided affections - meant for his father - onto her son. She stifles him and as a result, the male bull views relationships as unstable, and he directs his goals towards aquiring material things in life like money and security, instead.

The male bull is the strong, silent, smoldering, type. He decides very early in life that the less said - the better. He projects his sensuality as a nonthreatening type to women and he projects and understated charm.

Not all of our male bulls will find themselves exhibiting all of the behavior listed above. Many a male bull makes a great, committed, husband and lover. And they will go to great lengths to be the perfect husband or lover that you envision them to be.

As an earth sign, our male bulls may enjoy camping, hiking, outdoor sports, etc. They will, most likely, be homebodies who like to linger around the house and their familiar comfort zones. Taurians are notoriously loyal individuals to friends, family and lovers. But don't let your male bull feel as if you've lost your admiration for him - that the "shine" has worn off.

Our male bull wants to be wanted in the worst way and will suffer immensely inside if he doesn't see the sparkle in your eye anymore.
