Slippery slope...
Situations arising through Taurus 8 can be slippery... or deal with issues of sliding. Runners on a sleigh really work best when there is ample snow for sliding tracks to form. When there is no snow, there is no slide.
What arises through taurus 8 is either the frustration for being out of season, or the experience of a slippery slope. Consider starting a story, then later discovering that because you told it in that particular way, you have slipped into a consequence difficult to get out of.
The 'slippery slope' describes a common fallacy of informal logic. Emotionally, if one has been feeling really good, the slippery slope might refer to the sense of losing that feeling, of sliding into old less happy ways.
There are creative ways to use the slippery slope. When one needs to escape, for example, the long arm of the law or some such rigid, a little ruse, guile in the form of a slippery lubricant works well.
Consider it the the 'teflon' convention. Or think of lubricants, silicon, space-age coatings designed to let anything and everything slip off you without causing abrasion or injury.
