I've been thinking about this a lot, and what you both said makes sense. I've been reflecting on this and trying to connect the pieces in a way that the characteristics of Taurus all come together. I may be off in places, but I wanted to share and see what you think.
In the beginning, we're born with a divine spark of the Creator. In Aries, it's unconscious—it's the impulse of "I want." That desire drives us into experience. Through those experiences, something begins to form: an identity, and an integration into the physical world. The spark starts to ignite.
To me, Taurus feels like that ignition, like fertilization. The spark germinates, like a sperm meeting an egg, and begins to generate a frequency. Life. That frequency is what we experience as value. It's not fully conscious yet, but there's a felt sense of worth. This is why Taurus relates to survival, not just physically, but as a relationship to this inner frequency. Our reason for existence. We need to ground in it and cultivate it, like developing a self beyond the human body.
The axis with Scorpio the soul makes more sense to me now.
The body and the spark depend on each other, the more growth of the human body (the vessel), the more the spark can grow. Environment starts to matter. The tool around us hold more value because we hold more value.
Then there's Taurus relating to fertility and procreation, and Leo to children and creative expression. The spark is the evolutionary driver, it's why we're here in human form. In Leo it begins to express itself through its vessel (human). That's why Leo is the sun and purpose.
As this spark germinates, we become a self-contained vessel (self-sustaining, self-resourcing). To support it, there's a natural instinct to preserve and withdraw at times, like pregnancy requires rest and protection. The need for safety and security becomes stronger because something deeper is being sustained.
Resonance is us listening to that spark. Taurus connecting to the heart chakra also makes sense to me now
Self-worth, then, is really about feeling that inner frequency. That's what gives the human vessel value and meaning. What we value externally reflects that inner resonance. This is why manifestation relates here: we attract externally what we carry internally.
But it can get blocked.
Over evolution, the goal seems to be to bring that spark into conscious expression, to fulfill our human purpose. But for that to happen, the human vessel has to be developed. This feels like the work of the Earth signs: Taurus (holding the spark), Virgo (refining the vessel), and Capricorn (mastery). The more developed the vessel, the more fully the spark can come through.
The liberation in Aquarius may be to liberate this spark from the human once it's ready. Pisces then being when the spark goes back to the Creator(if we reach our highest octave), if not, back we go to Aries again .

Also, this might explain Taurus stubbornness. What's resonating within is bigger than the person. To override it would mean abandoning the self, which damages our sense of value.

Dharma feels like the strength and energy of the spark.
Karma feels like the accumulated memory of the human experience over time.
But what is the spark? I think it's a tiny part of the whole of The Creator , given to us to be evolved over lifetimes
I think also that this is mirrored through The Ages.
The dark ages we are furthest away from the spark (light) and that's mirrored by how little we know about it in our time. We are in the dark.The era in which we live. Those thousands of years from the Lilith book.
We are in the dark looking for light.
Whereas the eras lived during the times where we are in the light are much more clear and peaceful. Conscious?
This feels like the most fundamental energy of Taurus from which all the other characteristics emanate
Appreciate you taking the time to sit with this with me, it means a lot to put this into words
