Taoist Sun Signs
by Roland F. Arms
There is a hidden side of your self that traditional Astrology
ignores completely. But, Taoism looks at everything in terms of yin
and yang, and does not overlook this hidden side. Yang in Astrology
represents what you express with great abundance and this is what
traditional Astrology concerns itself with. In Taoist Astrology, we
also consider the yin which is the part of you that is growing and
developing. Simply put, yang reflects what you are; and yin reflects
what you are becoming. By looking at the total chart and person,
Taoist Astrology gives a more complete and useful interpretation. We
use the sidereal zodiac because it gives the true astronomical
position of the planets.
Aries: April 15 - May 15
You are a passionate and intense individual who likes to always be in
control. You may be somewhat of a loner, as you are secretive and
mysterious about yourself and your goals. You have good executive
abilities but can be too demanding or uncompromising in dealing with
subordinates. (yang)
You are learning to be diplomatic and appreciate peace and harmony.
While you don't worry that much about your own public image, you are
easily distracted by beauty in others and deeply moved by expressions
of friendship and affection. You need to learn to relax in pursuing
your goals. (yin)
Taurus: May 16 - June 16
You are a reliable and solid individual. You have a strong drive for
a stable routine and security. You like to build and develop
long-term projects and can be very persistent and stubborn when
challenged by adversity or competitors. (yang)
You are learning to be more assertive and ambitious. Your attraction
to physical temptations such as food, sex, money, etc. assists this
process by motivating you to take actions sooner than you normally
would and increases your chances of success. (yin)

You are a curious, versatile and talkative person who thrives on
change. You want know all there is about everything and everyone. You
like to keep your options open and may be unreliable and evasive. You
