Happy Taurus Season! The Sun sits in Taurus April 19th - May 19th 2024. Taurus season always offers stability, ambition, focus, pleasure seeking obstinance, resiliency, and loyalty - as we say goodbye to the high energy, impatient, competitive, confident bravery of Aries season…not to mention a genuine good-bye to eclipse season. This transition has us implementing plans and projects. It has us setting our emotions aside, and getting super grounded and realistic. It asks what resources do we actually have to work with. Now. In hand and available. There is acceptance here for what is. This could feel like cold water, it could build confidence at there being more resources to work with than you thought you had. This season says, what did you get excited about in Aries season and want to happen instantaneously? A spark has been ignited What were the reveals and pivots of the eclipses in your life? Taurus season hits the pause button and wants to determine what are the practical and tactical applications that we need to get the tires to hit the pavement and bring these excitements, sparks, and visions into being. Taurus is the bull of the chart. It’s going to be about resources. It will ask, What do I have? What do I have to show for my effort? My work? Where do I need to put more effort or any effort for that matter. Taurus requires effort. It requires that we DO something. Taurus is a high manifestor via the long game. No instant gratification to be had here. Like none. Lol. But it’ll move you solidly forward and along the path towards your goal. This season has us in work mode. Time to make the donuts persé. Implement the to-dos.

Taurus is also the bull of the chart, it gets pegged as the materialistic - connected to finances - and its mantra is I HAVE - I like to reframe and clarify that Taurus is the sensualist of the chart. Ruled by Venus - our goddess Aphrodite - Taurus truly gets what it means to be human, in a 3D skin suit…that a balance of work and pleasure is very much the point of this earth school - it knows financial resources provide food, water, shelter…that are necessary - it also allows us to explore what if what is necessary was also really pleasurable? This season loudly pulls in the question my Magical Mentees are already working with in this cycle - that is Aphrodite’s ultimate question: DOES IT PLEASE ME? Taurus wants cozy fabrics like uber soft cotton, satin, cashmere or velvet. Food is our love language. And yes, Taurus does think it can buy its way to happiness - or a solution. And you know what - sometimes it’s not wrong. It’s is a fixed earth sign, stable, strong and typically inherently grounded. With a strength that is deep and often formidable. Taurus can generate big manifestations when in balance…willing to meet the Universe more than halfway, knowing at their core they are worthy, clear about wants, desires, and needs. There is a heartfelt energy here for life. Everyone thinks it’s high vibrations that cultivate manifestations….but it’s really high vibration connected to GROUNDING. If there is no grounding there is nowhere for the magic to take root in this 3 dimensional life. Grounding is truly what allows magick to manifest. In Balance Taurus is lovingly loyal for a lifetime. They are the earth-parent energy that can and will hold anyone…It's sturdy, grounded, stable, realistic, calm, and they are genuine problem solvers and nurturers through practicality - these are some serious kitchen & green witches - herbal, tea, and food healing. Taurus is strong and clear with words, actions, and boundaries. They are fierce. They dish out harsh truth and tough love like no other.. It can work their asses off for incredibly long periods of time to get where they need and want to go. Taurus' stubbornness in exaltation shows up as the capacity to stick with something, to keep trying…for really long periods of time. What is pegged as obstinance can also be commitment and longevity. In imbalance Taurus can skew towards being a label whore and in general too - much ness- it has a real hedonistic streak when out of balance. Couch potato, overspending, over indulging in all the things (particularly food or shopping) hello hedonism-, sticking with a career or partner way longer than was healthy. The ultimate Taurus imbalance shows in its stubbornness to be ‘right’ ...
