TAURUS
(April 21 - May 20). The fixed earth sign of the Zodiac called "the Bull" because the Babylonians who invented the sign associated the bull with the beginning of spring. It is the Venusian Impulse, the Eros as opposed to Thanatos (Scorpio). In Egypt, Apis the Bull was an avatar of Osiris. The chief characteristics of Taurus are stubbornness, love of the arts and hedonism, which last is no doubt the reason that Gautama Buddha chose this as the sign of his birth with its Karma of Buddhistic renunciation and austerity. As one of the tetramorphs Taurus incorporates the lesson of velle, "to will."
Some famous Taureans are: Adolf Hitler, Leonardo da Vinci, Hirohito, Wm. Randolph Hearst, Fred Astaire, Theodore Roszak, Shakespeare, Cromwell, Freud, Orson Welles, Tchaikovsky, Irving Berlin, Gary Cooper, Eva Peron, Harry Truman, Daniel Berrigan, John Wilkes Booth, Socrates, Machiavelli, Florence Nightingale, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, L. Frank Baum, Malcom X.

Historical source for behaviour adaptation to modern 7-tone musicWhy the 7-tone scale for modern music?If we go by early Greek, Chinese and Japanese civilisations, many early musical scales were pentatonic (5 "main notes;" still a feature of Gamelan music in Bali). In the 5-tonic, the octave was divided by the simple means of counting the figures on one hand. Russian composer Borodin noticed it in folk song and used it in "Prince Igor" (it was represented in the modern production `Kismet' by the song `Stranger in Paradise'.) Uncharted Routes Of Human Self-KnowledgePreviously, people felt the need for cultural exchange, cultural borrowing, today, when the world embraced the globalization process, it has become even more important.
