Birthdays are pretty important to me. I like to make a big deal of other people’s birthdays, and I really enjoy when people make a big deal of mine. I have, on a few occassions, missed out on people making a fuss of my birthday. I have this bad habit of letting mail pile up in my mailbox, until it becomes so full that it spills out onto my front step. Then I like to go through it, pick out the letters for me and stuff everything else back into the mailbox. I'm not alone in this, my aunt does it too. Maybe it's genetic. Who knows. Anyway, I have missed birthday cards, Christmas cards, heartfelt letters from friends and all other manner of greetings because of this bad habit of mine. They invariably either get lost in the pile of flyers that accumulates or aren't received until well past their due-date. The sentiment is still greatly appreciated, and then it's like reliving the holiday (yes, I consider birthdays to be holidays) all over again.
Taurus, the bull-headed sign, loves tactile, earthly pleasures. Full of gentle charms, romantic and doggedly loyal, people who fall under this sign will do what it takes to get the job done. They may come across as stubborn (see: the bull head), but they are just taking care of business in their own, methodical way. Happy Birthday, Taurus!
