Taurus Season 🐮 2024

Apr 19 – May 20, 2024
Happy birthday, my fellow sacred cows! TAURUS IS THE BEST ♉️
Soul forest freshly burned, ravaged by the carnelian flames of the Aries sun, lay on this earth now. Let your heartbeat take you down, your breath down, down into the pungent soil. All is still, all is tranquil. A giant, silky cow ambles into view, making her way through a sun-streaked meadow. Climb on her broad back. Feel her warmth course through your veins.
Taurus season is about home and feeling at home. It makes me think of wabi sabi, a Japanese concept best translated as balance between internal and external; peace and equilibrium. It is synonymous with divine simplicity and natural beauty. Wabi sabi is drinking tea with a friend in silence, or watching a bear scratch its back on an evergreen clinging to a misty mountainside.
The cow can be graceful like a tender young branch, but she’s not naturally flexible. She puts her roots down prematurely or in the wrong spot if she is too stubborn to try harder, to explore, to consider other options. Balanced Taurus overcomes inertia to carry her weight uphill with expertise. She keeps climbing, though her pack grows heavy. She refuses to settle, even when it would be easier.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, Goddess of Love and Leisure. Beloved Venusian luxuries include delicious food, comfortable spaces, fine clothing, etc. Taurus has strong opinions about value. She wants a life of absolute quality. Taurus revels in indulgence. She can be deeply attached to money and material possessions, more than she would like to admit.
When her material life feels threatened, Taurus starts to panic. Everything must be just right; Taureans will fuss over things that others consider minor details. It’s true that we’ll be focusing more on money during this cycle, but we can also use this prodigious earth energy to clean, organize, plant a garden, or get creative. Channel it into your home/domestic life and make positive changes here.
***Heads up: Mercury will be retrograde for the first week of Taurus Season***
The first day of Taurus Season (Apr 19) coincides with a conjunction between Mercury Retrograde and Venus in Aries. Life feels fresh, exciting, novel, invigorating, abundant. Excellent influence for all things social.
Apr 20: Jupiter in Taurus conjunct Uranus. Mega Taurus day!!! This conjunction comes just once every 12 years. This is an excellent time to travel, take risks, and/or jump into something entirely new. Everything about this conjunction is progressive and exciting. The soul is extremely ready for change at this juncture. It will likely be drastic, like moving to a new place, quitting your job, or leaving your partner. Wherever you are in life, the spirit demands freedom. Move, groove, shake loose. The planets are with you; you cannot fail.
Apr 21: Sun square Pluto in Aquarius. Deep, dark, and intensely emotional. Power & control dynamics up for review. Heartache; anxiety.
Apr 23: Full Moon in Scorpio 🦂
Apr 25: Mercury Retrograde ends ✨
Apr 29: Venus joins the Taurus party 🐮
May 2: Pluto Retrograde begins 🔮
May 7: New Moon in Taurus 🌿🌷
May 13: Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus. Emphasis on technology and communication. Highly unexpected in nature. See if you can zoom out and find the blessing in the “upset” – why did it need to happen? How can it free you?
May 15: Quarter Moon in Leo + Mercury joins the Taurus party 🐮
May 18: Sun conjunct Jupiter in Taurus. Gold star day. Everything flowing toward the highest possible good. Blessings & abundance coming our way.
