Astro-Themes & Insights

STABILITY, SELF-WORTH AND MONEY

Taurus Season finds its way in. Here we find ourselves in a space of continuity and ease. Taurus is fixed, focusing on sustainability, pleasure, and worth. Ruled by Venus, it is charming, patient, and abundant. The Bull reminds us to take things slow, to enjoy what sits here in this present moment. We learn that what is natural is valuable. We understand that our worth is not in being caught in the rat race. We prioritize ease. We succumb to our softness. We realize our power is inherent, not earned but a given right.

WORK WITH TAURUS SEASON

While the Sun travels through sensual and determined Taurus, we turn our attention to the themes of Stability and Self Worth. The earth beneath our feet is rooted, creating a pathway for us forward. Jupiter finishes its stay in this Fixed Earth sign, gifting us growth in sustainable ways. Look to May 17th and 18th for profound expansion as the Sun and Jupiter align in Taurus. Below are ways to work with Taurus Season:

1. Garden Gratitude
Take time to put your hands or feet in the dirt. Whether you are harvesting or planting, Taurus Season will always yield abundance. Show gratitude to the land, what you plant/harvest, and feel yourself ground into the earth.

2. Sensual Intentions
Before you set intentions for the week, focus on the way you feel. Turn on your favourite music and light a candle. Open your journal/planner and feel the pages between your fingers. Take three deep breaths, and listen to how your body responds. Then, write your intentions.

3. Cook on Fridays
Fridays are the day of Venus, which rules Taurus. Every Friday during Taurus Season, create a meal that leaves you feeling grounded and grateful. Thank the food you work with and stir intention into the meal. Share this with food with others to pass the magic on.

4. Lean into Ease
Find ways to allow yourself to rest and lean into the ease of the season. Listen to your body and understand that you are inherently worthy of rest. Slow down and find space in your day to do less. Prioritize your softness.

Grounded in the earth, I find my place — unwavering and immovable. I am home among the flora, an extension of nature. I not only live in alignment with the cosmos, but I am the cosmos.
