A fool for a pretty face and a beautiful body, the Taurus man does not dig deeper. Nor is he carried away by a woman's character or brains. Unless he is very highly evolved, his desires revolve around security and creature comforts. However, what sets it all in motion is sex.
    The Taurus man's nature is sensuous, earthy and uncomplicated. Once he digs his hole in the earth, he stays there. The Taurus man is possessive. However, this does not mean that he is incapable of straying. The Taurus man can be easily seduced by a beautiful body with an assertive approach. However, assuming that he is not so lucky, it is likely that he will be in the same situation year after year.
    The Taurus man always marries and settles into the domestic scene with bliss. The classic Taurus man does not like to be alone. His consciousness centered in the conventions of the outer world, he is happy to carry on in his routines as long as there is a body waiting at home. Taurus men don't question. Nor do they tear their world apart looking for content.
    Taurean men can be highly creative. They can also possess an intelligence that brings them a lot of money and power in the material world. However, within the context of their own relationships, they tend to be remarkably ignorant. Emotionally, they do not understand other people or their own inner makeup. Therefore, the quality that they bring to love is one that is complacently unconscious. Marriages can come and go, and over years, patterns repeat themselves, yet the Taurus man is still uncomprehending. He can be a Nobel Prize winner, yet ask him why he fell in love with someone else or why his wife left him, and innocent and baffled, he will reply he doesn't know. The Taurus man is not big on emotional understanding. Likewise, he never questions or probes. In essence, his sense of psychology is very basic. Black is black and white is white and beyond that, whatever something looks like is what it is. Intensely aware of color and shape, the Taurus man thinks, perceives and relates at face value. On this level, he can be an excellent provider who will offer both security and material support. However, as a person, he tends to be helpless when it comes to emotional intangibles. It is as if a part of his brain is dozing and the quality of communication is as articulate as a snore.
    One highly intelligent Taurus man had his life totally shattered by his wife's repeated, blatant infidelities. Deeply angry, he blames her for his misery as if he were the most innocent victim. However, he cannot see how his completely self-absorbed ambition left her, an emotional water sign, with an empty, routinized, passionless life. Deeply saddened, obsessed and completely powerless, he can no longer live with her, yet he can't stop loving her. Caught in between, he is a victim of his own lack of awareness and insight.
    Taurean men can suffer deeply without consciousness dawning and enlightening their lives. Fixed, earth, they rigidly hold on to blind emotional attitudes that support their foolish patterns and do not readily break, open up and grow. Because of this, of all the signs, Taurus tends to be the most emotionally powerless, perpetuating its own problems and in all its blindness, plodding on to prepare itself for more.
