kennethreitz ce93f429a2 Add Knowledge: the vault's reference shelf, crosslinked across the site
Publish the Obsidian vault's Knowledge folder as /knowledge (881 notes,
67 folders), with a Knowledge item in the nav and footer.

- scripts/import_knowledge.py regenerates data/knowledge from the vault:
  slugged paths, folder notes as index pages, wikilinks resolved to site
  links (or plain text), callouts, highlights, and Dataview tables
  rendered statically. Personal notes are withheld via an exclusion
  list plus a privacy guard.
- tuftecms/core/knowledge.py builds a concept index from note titles and
  aliases. First mentions on ordinary pages link to their Knowledge note
  (capped, never in headings, code, links, or sidenotes); Knowledge pages
  list related notes and where they're mentioned across the site; other
  pages get a Related Knowledge block.
- Knowledge URLs join sitemap.xml (so the sweep test covers them), never
  displace existing legacy slugs, list alphabetically, and mermaid
  diagrams render client-side only on pages that have them.

# Taurus · ♉
> *What the Ram begins, the Bull makes real enough to touch.*

## Essence
If Aries is the spark, Taurus is the field it lands in — the fixed earth that receives the impulse and slowly, patiently, grows it into something with roots. This is the sign of late spring, of orchards in blossom and the first warmth that can be trusted, and it carries the deep contentment of a world settling into abundance. Taurus is the body’s wisdom made into a sign: the pleasure of good food, of sunlight on skin, of work done with the hands until the thing is solid and finished and yours.
Ruled by Venus, the Bull loves the tangible more than the ideal. It does not chase; it accumulates, cultivates, endures. There is a gravity to Taurus, a refusal to be hurried, that can look like stubbornness and is really just a profound faith that good things take the time they take. To know a Taurus is to know steadiness — a presence that stays when others scatter.

## Light & Shadow
At its finest, Taurus is loyalty you can lean your whole weight against — dependable, generous, sensuous without apology, a maker of beautiful and lasting things. It offers the rare gift of presence, the willingness to simply be with a person or a task until it is truly complete. But the same fixity curdles into possessiveness and inertia. The Bull can mistake comfort for happiness, cling to what should be released, and dig in so deeply against change that it buries itself. Its appetites, ungoverned, become mere indulgence, and its patience becomes stagnation. The Hierophant who presides over it hints at the deeper task: to hold not just possessions but values, and to learn that the most precious things — trust, love, meaning — can never actually be owned.
