Great tone to weak-up to this morning!!!!

Love of Music
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.

You also like to potter around the garden, and delight in other outdoor activities: picnics, hikes, trips to botanical gardens or the zoo. You tend to be rather subdued, but you have a fine sense of humour, and enjoy your social life.

Dragon, as monsters, are autochthonuos 'masters of the ground', against which heroes, conquerors and creators must fight for mastery or occupation of the land; they are also guardians of the teasures and of the portals of esoteric knowledge. The struggle with the dragon symbolizes the difficulties to be overcome in gaining the treasures of inner knowledge. Killing the dragon is the conflict between light and darkness, the slaying of the destructive forces of evil, or man overcoming his own dark nature and attaining self-mastery. Rescuing the maiden from the dragon is the releasing of pure forces after killing evil powers. The dragon is often the opponent of the dying god. Alchemic: The winged dragon depicts the 'volatile'; without wings it is the 'fixed'. In Chinese alchemy the dragon is mercury, the blood and the semen. Celtic: Sovereignty; a chief. The Red Dragon is the emblem of Wales. Chinese(Taoist, Buddist): The Dragon and serpent are not separated in Chinese symbolism. The dragon represents the hightest spiritual power; the supernatural; infinity; the spirit of change; the divine power of change and transformation; the rhythms of nature; the law of becoming; supernatural wisdom; strength. It is 'Celestial Stag'; the sun; light and life; the heavens; sovereignty; the masculine yang power. The dragon of the clouds is also thunder and the ferilizing rain, the waters of the deep and Spring. The Azure Dragon, lung, the highest, lives in the sky and is the vital spirit; celestial power; infinite supernatural power and , on earth, the delegated imperial power, the emperor. The lung, or Imperial Dragon, has five claws abd its head is to the south and its tail to the north. it aslo represents the east and fertilizing rain. The common dragon, mang, has four claws and is temporal power. The three clawed dragon was an early Chinese form, later to become the Japanese dragon. Li, the hornless dragon, lives in the sea and controls the deeps; he also symbolizes the scholar. Chiao lives in the mountains or on land and represents the statesman. The 'nine resemblances' of the dragon are, according to Wang Fu; 'His horns resemble those of a stag, his head that of a camel, his eyes those of a demon, his neck that of a snake, his belly that of a clam, his scales those of a carp, his claws those of an eagle, his soles those of a tiger, his ears those of a cow.' The two 'contending dragons', facing each other, are the yin-yang forces of dualism, all opposites and complements, celestial and terrestrial power; they usually have either the sun or the 'night-shining pearl', the moon, between them; backing each other they symbolize the yin-yang and eternity; chasing each other's tails they depict the two-way creative action of the yin-yang powers. The dragon is often portrayed with the 'dragon ball' or flaming pearl' and this has been variously suggested as rolling thunder or the moon as rain-bringer with the dragon swallowing the pearl as the wane of the moon and belching it forth as the waxing moon, but in Taoism and Buddhism it is the 'pearl which grants all desires', the pearl of perfection, that is to say, wisdom, enlightenment and the spiritual essense of the universe.

There is still more, but feel like I may be boring some and need to take a break from typing for a little while. WOW!!!!
