Taurus

I read my horoscope in Columbus Alive today. My horoscope (Taurus) read: 

             Have you ever gazed into the eyes of goats? If you have, you know
             that their pupils are rectangular when dilated. This quirk allows them
             to have a field of vision that extends as far as 340 degrees, as
             opposed to humans’ puny 160-210 degrees. They can also see better at
             night than we can. Goats are your power animal in the coming week,
             Taurus. Metaphorically speaking, you will have an excellent chance to
             expand your breadth and depth of vision. Do you have any blind spots
             that need to be illuminated? Now’s the time to make that happen.

In the Goat being my power animal for the coming week. My first thoughts were: what are some interesting facts about goats? What is the purpose of a Goat? And how will the animal be representing me in the next coming week? In researching this information, I found that goats and sheep “were among the earliest domesticated animals. Goat remains have been found at archaeological sites in western Asia, such as Jericho, Choga, Mami, Djeitun and Cayonu, which allows domestication of the goats to be dated at between 6000 to 7000 B.C.” This information obtained from Breeds of Livestock also stated that “goats can easily revert to feral or wild condition given a chance.” This means that goats have the ability to change their behavior and attitude if the situation calls for it; however they can easily revert back to their original state. Goats are generally used for “meat, milk, leather, pelts for rugs and robes, and clothing.” Smallstock in Development also revealed that “goats have an ability to survive under harsh conditions.”

How will the Goat represent me in the coming week?  As my horoscope stated, Goats have an ability to see in the dark, which helped me to link darkness with the Dark Ages. During the dark ages, knowledge was lost. This was a time when a lot of things were not written down. I linked the Goat’s ability to see better at night with their ability to reveal or see things others may have a hard time in seeing. Recently, I was told by a friend that I was very wise for my age. She stated that individuals my age are usually into going out, shopping, and having fun. She stated that she could see something in me that was different from other people my age. This spark of light she seen in me was also revealed in her. I recognize her as a light bearer of knowledge, which is often seen by other light bearers.

How will I expand my breadth and depth of vision? Breadth represents the things that I will take in and exhale from my body. This deals with nutrition, happiness, stress, and many of life’s situations. I will deal with everything the best way that I know how. The only way to deal with new situations or conflict is by experiencing it and learning from positive and negative experiences. The word vision represents to see or to illuminate something. My vision will include me working toward increasing my skill in understanding people and bringing light to many detrimental situations. It is my passion to write in such a way that others will be able to grasp all of the concepts written on the page. I will divulge who I am, which in terms will reveal other like or aspiring souls.
