If you've found yourself swept away in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, overlooking the importance of your own well-being and neglecting your self-care routine, Venus' ingress into Taurus on April 29 invites you to pause and prioritize what is of value to you.
Before fully basking in this Venus transit, however, it's important to consider what we've learned while the love planet was in the fiery sign of Aries. Here, the love planet ignited our passions and encouraged us to pursue our desires with unwavering confidence. This transit inspired us (individually and collectively) to take bold leaps in our relationships, embrace spontaneity, and assert our needs and desires with determination. This period may have been marked by a surge of energy and a willingness to take risks in matters of the heart.
What did you learn about yourself and your sense of autonomy, specifically regarding your finances, romantic partnerships, and sense of security?
It's time to stop and smell the roses. Once Venus debuts in Taurus (its sign of rulership), we transition from the impulsive and assertive energy of Mars-ruled Aries to the steady and grounding influence of the slow-moving bull. Venus in Taurus invites us to embody a more patient and deliberate approach to love, finances, and personal stability. It's a time to reassess our values and priorities, particularly in light of the lessons learned during Venus' transit through Aries. After all, as the planets journey through the zodiac, opportunities for growth are simultaneously presented to us, guiding us along our path toward self-discovery.
