After a supercharged start to the astrological year (namely, the sun's journey through Aries not to mention during an action-packed eclipse season), it’s time to stop and smell the roses as the bull takes center stage.
Between April 19th to May 20th, the atmosphere becomes a Venusian backdrop as we transition into the serene and earthly realm of Taurus. This astrological season invites us to slow down, so we can appreciate life’s simple pleasures, and ultimately cultivate a deeper sense of stability.
When was the last time you basked in your creature comforts? Don’t get it twisted—this Venus-ruled season isn't solely based on hedonistic pursuits; it’s about grounding yourself and being present in the moment. So, I’ll rephrase the question: when was the last time you allowed yourself to fully relax and enjoy the sanctuary of your own personal space? Rememberl, Taurus’ zodiac archetype is symbolic of one’s stability and possessions, both in the earthly and spiritual realms.
Embracing this energy allows us to find strength and resource within our surroundings and create a deeper connection to the essence of who we are. A fixed earth sign, Taurus is the embodiment of stability, reliability, and groundedness. It's no wonder this celestial season takes place at the peak of spring, when nature itself is bursting with vitality and sustenance. Just as the earth beneath our feet provides a solid foundation for growth, Taurus season invites us to anchor ourselves in our values and embrace the abundance that surrounds us.
When considering our spiritual development and human experience, Taurus' Venusian essence teaches us the importance of nurturing our roots, honoring our physical bodies, and finding value in the tangible aspects of our existence. Like a wise guardian of the earth, it reminds us to appreciate the beauty of the natural world, and find serenity in the simple pleasures of life.

Taurus season 2024:
This year… it’s safe to say, Taurus season begins with a bang! After the sun’s official debut on the 19th, Jupiter will join Uranus in a highly anticipated conjunction the next day. This rare event—easily the most prominent astrological aspect of 2024—brings a surge of excitement and innovation to our physical reality, and overall sense of stability. Expect the unexpected, but surprising opportunities and breakthroughs are most certainly on the horizon. Embracing change and thinking outside the box is essential, so allow this dynamic synergy to propel you forward into uncharted territory.
Just in time for a transformative full moon in Scorpio on the 23rd, this lunation could bring deep-seated emotions to the surface, inviting you to confront your shadow side with both courage and honesty. Mercury will also be going direct on the 25th, which is always a plus, but it gets even better! As of April 29th, Venus will join the sun in Taurus (where the goddess planet exalts), followed by Mars’ debut in Aries (the warrior planet’s sign of rulership) on the 30th. This magically fertile synergy reflects onto our reality, making our powers of manifestation skyrocket.
Pluto will station retrograde in Aquarius on May 2nd, urging us to delve deep into our subconscious mind to uncover buried desires, fears, and unresolved issues. These could relate to matters of community, social networks, and our sense of belonging in the world. The Lord of the Underworld will eventually re-enter Capricorn on September 1st, before going direct on October 11.
