In contrast to the nonstop rush of Aries, Taurus prioritizes taking pleasure while also working mindfully toward goals. Taurus, symbolized by the bull, is a sensual sign, both grounded and reliable. These qualities move to the foreground of our lives during this time. A pragmatic approach, in Taurus season, results in the most enjoyable rewards. This includes frequent nature breaks to delight in the expressions of spring.
Across the sky from the Taurus Sun, the Moon goes full in Scorpio. Scorpio’s main principle is regeneration, so this full Moon may portend an intense release of something deep within. Tap into Taurus’s more stable energy during this time to provide balance. Transformation in the moment may seem catastrophic, but, seen pragmatically, it’s just a transition to a newer version of ourselves. Learn to enjoy the process.
Don’t forget to read your Sun sign for the “big picture” and your rising sign for “where the work is.”
