Friday 4/19, 10:00 AM ET, the Sun leaves the action-oriented fire sign of Aries and shifts into the steadfast and practical Earth sign of Taurus. Time to slow down and chill a bit.

The Sun will remain in Taurus until 5/20. Happy Birthday Taurus ♉️ …..it is our season!

The bright side of Taurus energy is loyal, connected, sensual and logical. This sign has great common sense and is known to be a problem-solver. Humble and honest, Taurus are typically hard-working and dependable. They are there when you need them, and you can count on their word. Taurus has a lot of endurance, and can keep going long after you would think they would break.

Strength is a universal trait of Taurus.

The shadow traits of this sign and yes, there are some 😉…. is they can be quite stubborn as a fixed sign. Taurus can be very slow to make changes, for better or worse, and let’s not forget about that temper!

Although slow to anger, once Taurus blows up that Bull can charge, and often will regret it after the fact. They also have a hard time asking for help, and will take on copious amounts of stress, often to their own detriment.

Taurus knows how to sustain what has been built. Taurus season is where we plant our seeds, then watch them sprout; it is the season of fertilization for future growth. *Literally speaking, Taurus also governs the areas of food, gardening, our physical (earth) and material (financial) resources.

This is how Taurus energy works.

Where Aries is go-go-go , Taurus is slow-slow-slow. We cannot rush anything under the Earth energy of Taurus. “To every season turn, turn, turn”, should be the Taurus mantra.

Just one day after the Sun enters Taurus, the planets Jupiter and Uranus for align at 21° of Taurus. This is an energy that will unfold and span over decades. Think: opportunity, chance and change. I go much deeper into what this all means both collectively and by sign right here in this video/reading.

On May 7th, we have an abundant and beautiful (although emotionally and energetically charged) New Moon in Taurus. This is the perfect New Moon for setting intentions!

Take advantage of Taurus season and do all the the Taurus ‘things’ that the Bull is known for, the creature comforts. This can certainly help to soothe the soul during these energetically charged times.

Buy yourself flowers, take a bubble bath, indulge in some fine wine and good chocolate. Get out for a hike, a walk, a bike ride..go to the farmers market. Get out into nature and stop and smell the roses!

Savor the flavor and the vibe of this Taurus/Earth energy. Enjoy the small pleasures, the simple things in life.

Take the time to get out into the earth, to smell all the smells. Ground yourself, meditate, plant some flowers or herbs. Honor the needs of your physical body, your vessel.

May Taurus season bring in many blessings for you.
