Welcome Taurus Season
The time of Aries ends, Welcome Taurus Season.
Here on Earth, in the Northern Hemisphere, We are now centered in Spring. The Earth is beginning to blossom under the warmth of the sun as it grows closer to it’s peak. All those who were once sleeping under the winter cold have awakened to experience the abundance of the world around them. The richness are being revealed to us through the gem like coloring of it’s flowers and the sweet investments it’s creatures are making in preparation and care for new lives born.
From April 19th - May 20th, The planet Venus now reigns the cosmos. Venus' influence roots us into our desires for beauty, love, money, and to indulge is the pleasure of our Earthly existence.
The Earthly qualities of consistency and abundance + the indulgent Venetian energies of Love, Beauty and Money = A sign who knows how to invest in themselves, work hard and play harder.
Hello Taurus!
What a lucky bunch to have such a sign in their charts! (Personally this is my rising sign, and it shows *gestures and references own aesthetic*) But even if you don't have Taurus in any of chart placements, It's Taurus season! Which means any and all of us can harness the power of the Bull to attract and embody our deepest desires.
Let’s explore how.
Harnessing Taurus Energy
Slow Down
Each zodiac sign is said to be either Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable.
The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. Cardinal signs are those that mark the beginning of each season. They are energetic, dynamic, and actively pursue their dreams and desires.
The Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. Fixed signs are the signs which mark the middle of each season. These signs are persistent, stable, and resistant to change.
The Mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. Mutable signs are the last signs of each season. Mutable signs are flexible, changeable, adaptable, and open to new experiences
As a Fixed Earth sign, Taurus know to approach life slow and steady. This gives them ample time to think through their decisions and to not to go chasing down the distracting flags that pop up along their journey. This careful approach allows for stable and consistent action to be taken towards their goals.
To align with Taurus energy, it’s simple, slow down. Give yourself ample time to make decisions and/or take a course of action.
Align and Receive
Taurus season marks the transition from the action driven Masculine sign of Aries, to the receptive Feminine energy of Venus. Unlike the stereotypical bull, Taurus isn't as interested in charging in, expelling a bunch of energy chasing this or that; Taurus aligns themselves with what they desire and allow themselves to receive opportunities. And they have faith in their ability to manifest abundance because they are rooted in the Element of support, fertility and prosperity.
Strive in this time to shift your energy from giving energy through action, and to becoming aligned with what you desire; like energy attracts like energy, so focus on how you can become an energetic match with what you want. Not only set that intention, but practice embodying that version of yourself so that you are capable of fully receiving and stepping into the reality where you are living your dreams.
Love and Intimacy
As a zodiac sign ruled by Venus (the goddess of love), romantic companionship can be a top priority for any Taurus. In fact, they are considered one of the most sensual signs, delighting in showering their lovers in affection.
However, Taureans won't rush into a relationship with just anyone. Their love of perfection, need for consistency and stability makes them hesitant to trust their hearts to just anyone.
We can align ourselves with Taurus energy by
Examining our definitions of Love and gaining clarity around what we desire in romantic relationships
Practicing Self Love - Applying and embodying what Love is for ourselves. This literally lays the ground work for what we accept from our partners.
Exploring our sexuality - Not just exploring whom we are attracted to but our overall perception and attitude towards sex.
Cultivating sensuality - Sensuality is the enjoyment, expression, and pleasure of sex. How can you cultivate more sensuality?
Indulge in luxury
To say that Taurus can be a bit extra, is an understatement. Drawn to all that is rich and beautiful, ALL TAURUS love luxury. Their aspirations have them traveling first class, visiting dream destinations, sleeping in, eating the best food…all the things.
Other signs may view this as shallow, materialistic etc. but this is actually a GREAT way to align and attract more of those very things. By embodying that luxury version of yourself in mind, body and spirit, you are literally an energetic match for more luxury.
In addition, Taurus isn’t about to live and not take time to smell the roses, and neither should you. Celebrate the luxury that is life.
Get Creative
The influence of Venus motivates Taureans towards beauty and it's many expression. Therefore Taureans have a natural appreciation for the Arts. Music, dance, literature, painting, making love, planting a garden, LIVING is an Art to a Taurus.
So get creative. Take that class, plant the garden, kiss…like it’s an Art.
Create Sacred Space
The phrase "Home is where the heart is" isn’t just a saying for Taurus, it's a way of life. This notorious "home body" of the zodiac loves to bask in the rewards of their hard work. As their aspirations are luxurious with a natural flare for the Arts, you can expect their homes to be reflective of those attributes. Taurus strive for their homes to be A VIBE!
You can align with Taurus energy by taking the time to invest in your personal space. How does that space reflect who you are a person? Does this space reflect the higher version of you? Or your goals for the future? And if not, what can you add/subtract from the space to align and inspire you?
Practice Active Resistance
There are those who go actively pursue their desires, and then there are those who simply resist anything that tries to pull them away from the desires they pursue. All Earth signs are the latter. This makes them particularly efficient in achieving their goals because they have taken on a "defensive position" and therefore conserve energy. Earth signs are therefore working smarter, not harder.
Asking ourselves whether a thought, belief or action is aligned with our desires long term is possibly the easiest way to align with that Taurus energy and SMASH those goals like a bull in china shop!
Be Tenacious
Tenacity is defined as "the quality or fact of continuing to exist" and is in my opinion the true super power of Taurus energy. A Taurus will achieve a goal they set despite any difficulties encountered while achieving that goal. Where others know defeat, there is no quit in this fixed Earth sign. This is because Taureans take their time to analyze the situation (slow down), create a clear vision and the best course of action. They don’t want to be wasting their time working, when they could be spending that time Netflix and Chill style.
So again, slow down, take time to analyze and cultivate clarity around your desire. Then map out actions steps that you could take BEFORE taking the action. Apply Active Resistance. Be Tenacious.
The Shadows of Taurus
Of course there is polarity with all signs, and Taurus in no exception. So here are a few shadow aspects of Taurus you can expect to encounter while working with the energy of Taurus.
Stubborness. Taurus is an Earth sign, a FIXED Earth sign, which makes flexibility a challenge for those of this sun sign and those working with Taurus energy. This sign are known for being set in their ways and that can be a challenge in itself while navigating complex problems.
Materialistic. Let me be clear that it is not a negative thing to desire/acquire material luxuries and riches. What is negative is when someone bases their own self worth, or the worth of others, upon the material goods that those beings are able to acquire. Taurus is particularly susceptible to internalizing any struggles towards money and luxuries. This can lead Taurus to out bursts of rage or aggression.
Over Indulgence. The indulgent qualities of Venus have predestined Taurus for the sins of SLOTH and GLUTTONY. Of course if one allows themselves to enjoy the pleasure of the world around them, they may also be seduced by it. ESPECIALLY a an Earth sign who tends to get stuck in their ways; once a Taurus starts something, they never want to stop.
Cultivating healthy relationships with our bodies and finances are important for all people, but of particular important for Taurus.
The Earthly qualities of consistency and abundance + the indulgent Venetian energies of Love, Beauty and Money = A sign who knows how to invest in themselves, work hard and play harder.
Hello Taurus! And Welcome Taurus Season!
There’s no doubt that this stead fast sign knows exactly what they want, how to get it, and how to enjoy the journey along the way. And you can align, receive and embody that energy by working with Taurus regardless of whether or not it has a placement in your birth chart.
So I hope you will join me in celebrating Spring, celebrating Taurus season, and your own ability to manifest your dreams into reality!
May You Live Magic,
