Balancing the Bull.

What does it mean?

It means whatever I need it to mean (or you need it to mean) at any given time.

Isn’t having BALANCE one of life’s greatest challenges?

It’s a fun play on words for me especially; I’m a Virgo, technically, (but I am a Libra in most senses of the sign). I was born on the cusp, in a leap year. I have had my natal chart done more than once, and it is always a 50/50 shot that I will get a response stating that I am EITHER a Virgo or a Libra. I’m still not sure. But trust me. I am always trying to find balance…like a Libra.

That being stated, the two people in my life that have given me the most love and most heartache are my mother and my sister. My mother was a Libra (the balance scales), and my sister, you guessed it, a Taurus (the bull). Hence the initial thought of “Balancing the Bull”. What I love about it though is that it can be applied to so many aspects in life. Literally, isn’t our ultimate quest in life to balance…balance all the bullshit of life in general?!

What are we all trying (or not trying) so hard to balance?

  • work & family
  • family & friends
  • time & money
  • stress & self-care
  • sleep & wake
  • mental & physical
  • romance & reality
  • purpose & peace
  • freedom & dependence
  • role model & individualism
  • purpose & passiveness

Do we all live in a world of black & white or are we living in shades of grey? Does anyone really know? Sometimes I think I can answer those questions, and sometimes I’m quite certain I know nothing at all. Is there actually a perfect balance between having wisdom and continuing on a path of personal growth?

I’m certainly not promising that reading any of this content will lead you to balancing anything in your life. I do promise that I think about it all the time and write it down to share with you, in hopes that it will drive you to generate some thoughts of your own on what “Balancing the Bull” means to you, and what you can do to work toward achieving it. Some days I think I am almost there, and others, I realize I have only just begun…
