Taurus Monkey

You're a bundle of contradictions -- you often don't know exactly what you want, and your actions regularly conflict with what you say you believe. This can give you a certain intriguing appeal, but it can also make you confusing and even frustrating to deal with.

You constantly struggle to balance your need for security with your craving for freedom. Your stubbornness can get you into trouble, yet in the toughest moments, your indecisive side surfaces and takes over. You're someone who loves a settled life but dreams of adventure, who's attached to home but yearns to explore. Some people find your personality challenging, with your sudden mood shifts, spells of sulking, and tendency to hold grudges. Generally, you settle into a more conventional lifestyle in your middle years, after a wilder, more turbulent youth.

In your career, you're practical enough, but you sometimes lack the hands-on common sense that keeps things running smoothly, which can lead to unexpected problems. Fortunately, your instincts and flashes of insight often show up at just the right moment to pull you through.

In love, your passions burn strong but need a secure framework to really flourish. You're prone to chasing romantic fantasies, so it pays to choose carefully, because a failed relationship can truly upend your entire life. Once your feelings are genuinely engaged, though, you're capable of extraordinary devotion.
