Sun enters Taurus at 1:34pm 4/19/21

Mercury enters Taurus at 1:30pm 4/19/21

Taurus is the sign of steadiness, indulgence & resourcefulness. It is the richness of spring and marks the time of settling in. This season is all about the pleasures & management of the various aspects of our lives. The Venus of Taurus wants us to experience the beauty & leisure of life, the 🜃 Earth & fixed nature of Taurus wants to make sure our lives are sustainable.

The themes I mentioned in the Venus transiting Taurus post will be revitalized with the Sun & Mercury now moving through Taurus, bringing on a calmer & reliable energy. Highlighting the balance of work and play. This energy is prime for taking your time & being thorough in all projects, communication, relations, self care etc. Water yourself, your goals, your desires, your loved ones just as you would your plants. Take a moment to literally smell the roses, feel the earth and experience all this planet has to offer. It’s not coincidental that Earth Day & 4/20 kick off Taurus season.

We can get caught up in so many things outside & beyond ourselves, Taurus grounds us back into reality, this physical realm, our bodily senses and how we connect to these concrete & bountiful manifestations. As you move through this season show up in a palpable way by giving hugs, sharing food, crafting/building something tangible, bartering, giving & receiving physical money/resources, or any other ways you can find yourself actualizing your thoughts, love & gifts.

Mercury here also allows our thoughts to slow down, taking more time to process & sift through all the messages and communications we are receiving. Giving us the space to respond to things aptly & gracefully. Let this transit be a teacher of eloquent communication.

The other side of Taurus energy can become lethargic, greedy/possessive, & detrimentally unyielding so be mindful of the stubborn unwillingness that can come up within us all during this time. & Be careful of the urge to overindulge, find the balance between flow & stillness.

Lastly, As we move through you may also feel the connections to Uranus in Taurus & Saturn in Aquarius stirring up a little startling but productive energy towards the end of April, & towards the middle of May, some deeper, internal upheaval could be coming up to be acknowledged & regenerated as retrograde Pluto gets a beam of the suns warm lights while quirky Uranus connects with the reflective Moon & fiery Mars.

Overall this season will feel much more comforting & sturdy so make sure you’re open and receiving it.
