Welcome To Taurus Season - What Do You Have? What Do you Value?

Welcome to Taurus Season. The sun ingressed (moved into) Taurus on 20 April. Can you feel a shift in your energy? Aries season is fiery and active, whereas Taurus is sensual, earthy, grounded and slower in pace..

Taurus is a yin sign, she is receptive, intuitive and inwardly focused. Happy birthday to all Taurus Sun sign people. You are experiencing your Solar Return. A Solar Return is the moment your Sun returns to the sign & degree it was when you were born. With the Sun in Taurus you are invited to slow down. Be the tortoise instead of the hare. You will notice what you see, hear, taste, smell and intuit more easily during this time.

Taurus Season runs from 19 April - 19 May. We see the glyph (symbol) of the bull with this sign. Like a bull, Taurus persons can be slow to implement changes in their lives, methodical and focused, feeling out the best choices before taking aligned actions. This fixed sign can dig her heels in and maintain firm boundaries. She values herself and her resources.

Where you find Taurus in your chart is often your source of income - your personal belongings and resources. This sign also looks to self esteem, so value is not purely numerical nor financial. It applies to you. What you value is where you will focus your attention and spend money too. Gratitude begets things to be grateful for. What do you have and what are your values? Where do you add value to the lives of others?

Taurus Maintains the season of Spring, so give yourself full permission to learn what is important to you in mind and body. Explore the edges of your comfort zone. Smell the beautiful scents of flowers in full bloom, play your favourite music on repeat, wear your comfy leggings, hoodies or t-shirt.

Have a pyjama day occasionally, especially during April showers. Feast on your chocolate, sweet treat, or ice-cream, but know your limitations. Give yourself time to learn new skills with adequate revision and repetition. Make notes with colourful cards and pencils. Make steady progress. Taurus has the yummy factor, ruled by Venus - love, beauty, and abundance.

Grounding practices such as earthing - walking through grass or sand barefoot and feeling the sensations as your feet rhythmically rise and fall with each step can be a wonderful way to tap into this energy. Walk through gardens or woodlands, get fresh air or find a comfortable seat and take a few deep breaths: meditate.

Bring mindfulness into your day with mowing your lawn, tidying your home or washing dishes with awareness of your senses. Breathe deeply as you do so. Notice how it feels to be fully present and focused on the task in hand without the mental clutter, the to do list etc. Turn on the witness mindset without judgment: I am seeing this, feeling this, the ground is hot or cold, there are birds, cats, dogs, butterflies or similar, there's a lovely breeze. Make a commitment to yourself e.g. I will tidy one bookshelf at a time. If I feel like I want to do more i will take it slowly and methodically, and reward my progress.

26 April - Venus makes a beautiful connection with the lunar nodes which are activated by eclipses, new and full Moons. venus rules taurus so this is extremely harmonious. appreciate the beauty in your life, take a leap of faith and step outside of your comfort zone.

30 April - New Moon Eclipse in Taurus. Eclipses make energies feel bigger and the energies of eclipse season can be felt for a 3 - 6 months afterwards.

The Lunar Nodes for these eclipses are in Taurus and Scorpio, so these eclipses will feel more powerful for persons with Sun, Moon, or Rising in Taurus or Scorpio. i.e. what's yours vs what's mine? Where do these meet? Can we combine resources and share values?

Have a wonderful day and keep manifesting your dreams into reality using the moon as your divine timing guide.
