Lili Taylor
general characteristics

Lili Taylor's fundamental needs, values, and orientation towards life are symbolized by the four astrological elements. Each person has their own unique balance of these four basic energies: fire (warmth, inspiration, enthusiasm), earth (practicality, realism, material interests), air (social and intellectual qualities), and water (emotional needs and feelings).

Taylor's "elemental make-up" is described below. Remember that most people are "unbalanced" or lopsided, and if Lili is lacking or deficient in a certain element (or elements), it simply means that she needs to consciously develop that particular aspect in order to appreciate and/or work harder in that dimension of life.

Sometimes we overestimate the element that we are least endowed with, sensing it as a lack within ourselves, but more often we neglect or ignore it. The qualities described below will be reiterated and explained in more detail in the following pages.

Lili Taylor is ruled by her emotions and feelings and easily influenced by her moods and the feelings of those around her. Because she is so sensitive to her environment, Lili Taylor needs to be in an atmosphere that is positive and relatively free of psychic influences. Failing that, Taylor absorbs the negative vibes and ends up feeling badly herself. Highly sympathetic, Lili readily senses what others feel inside (whether they express it or not), and this deep emotional rapport can be both a gift and a curse: she can get extremely close to those she cares for, however Lili Taylor also feels other people's feelings so strongly that she perceives their emotions or problems as her own. Learning to distinguish the boundaries between herself and others is important. Furthermore, Lili Taylor needs to respect these boundaries; other people may need more personal, separate space than she does. Her tendency is to want to merge with the ones she loves, which can be interpreted as demanding or smothering by people with less of a need and capacity for emotional closeness. Her sensitivity and compassion and imaginative faculties are highly developed, and Lili Taylor may find it difficult to communicate everything she feels in logical, rational terms. Words seem inadequate, and the language of touch or music or visual imagery may come much more naturally to her.

Unless she has astrological energies that indicate otherwise, Lili Taylor is prone to be rather passive, possibly lazy, and also quite sensual. Weight problems are very possible.

She is likely to be overly humble or unsure of herself and to look to others for inspiration, motivation, reinforcement and approval. Tending to be somewhat passive, Lili Taylor must learn how to take initiative and motivate herself.

A lack of warmth (either physical, emotional or both) may be evident in Taylor and can manifest physically as a low energy level, paleness and lack of color in the skin, or a tendency to be easily chilled. Emotionally, it can be reflected in a marked coolness or aloofness with little spiritedness, joyfulness, or enthusiasm for living. Eating warming, spicy foods, living in a warm, sunny place, and using fire in her daily life (lighting candles, using a wood stove or fireplace for heat) can help balance Lili. Also, spending time with warm, cheerful, positive-minded people and developing a philosophy based on spiritual optimism can stir up Lili's own zest for life.

On the positive side, Lili Taylor is unlikely to be egocentric and has a capacity for ample patience and peacefulness.

One of her primary challenges lies in developing a sense of security and stability and adopting a steady rhythm in life. Cultivating self-discipline, patience and endurance and learning to accept realistic limitations will enable Lili Taylor to be more productive and to implement some of her ideas and creative impulses. Lili Taylor is not always interested in the practicalities and compromises required to make her dreams a reality.

At times, Lili Taylor feels out of place in the world, restless, discontent, unable to find her niche and dissatisfied with mundane reality. This may have the positive effect of sparking Taylor's exploration of the creative, imaginative or spiritual side of life. However, Lili tends to resist growing up and learning how to effectively deal with adult responsibility. She also tends to be either bound up with the past or projecting into the future, thereby ignoring the present. To become more grounded in the here and now, Lili Taylor may find it helpful to get massages on a regular basis, make a practice of gentle, rhythmic exercise like walking or yoga, and eat substantial, heavy foods.

Her outward behavior, which - as we shall see in the next chapter - is rather lighthearted and rational in nature, can be very deceiving since, overall, Lili Taylor is quite an emotional, deeply feeling, often irrational person.
