If you’re wondering what’s up next on the astrological calendar, read on to find out how the season of the tenacious bull can help you reach your goals.
All the fire and intensity of Aries season has come to a close and now we welcome in the sensual and solid energy of Taurus season, beginning April 20th.
Incidentally, this is right between the Aries Solar New Moon Eclipse and Mercury Retrograde.
All this means is that the extra dose of potent cosmic energy is going to give our grounded Taurus season a more transcendental, awakened feel to it.
We may be filled with motivation and a desire to seek higher frequency experiences and more aligned ways of living.
Generally speaking, the Aries season is characterized by powerful vigor and bold beginnings, whereas the Taurus season is linked to slower, earthier energy that helps us to pause, reflect, and take stock of our lives and how far we have come.
As the sun moves zodiac signs, the energy also changes from Cardinal to Fixed.
Cardinal is symbolized by fast-moving energy, inspired action, and fresh ideas.
Fixed energy is more about a stable, persistent kind of focus.
So you can see how perfectly complementary these two energies are to each other.
All the plans and creative ideas you felt bubbling up under Aries can now be given a steady and sustainable momentum forward.
If Taurus season could speak and was to give us all some advice, it would tell us to look to the future and think hard about the kind of foundation we are creating to make sure we manifest our dreams and goals.
The key word with Taurus is the foundation.
Taurus is all about making progress in the form of small, practical, and diligent steps forward with an eye on the long-term rather than the short-term.
Symbolized by the bull – Taurus is a sign of tenacity, steady power, and determination.
The energy will feel grounded in reality, and calming.
As an Earth sign, Taurus is not about whims and impulsive action but rather a laser-like focus on what needs to be done, without fuss.
This means that Taurus season has the potential to be wonderful for staying on the path and remaining committed to your highest goals and desires.
If you started a creative project during this Aries season, keep going with it, even deepening your efforts – the energy will be all in your favor to go hard.
All work and no play….well we all know how that goes, right? So don’t forget that Taurus is also all about earthly pleasures.
With Venus as its ruling planet, this Earth sign enjoys some good old-fashioned luxury and self-indulgence.
It’s a great time to establish a routine that keeps you moving forward on your biggest plans, but also factors in time for a little pampering.
I’m going to share with you some of my favorite ways to honor Taurus Energy in my life and routines as we flow through the second half of April and into May.
Solidify Your Routines
As discussed, the Taurus season is all about being realistic, disciplined, and practical.
Create a solid plan for the next month including practical steps to achieve your goals, plus priorities that you must include each day in order to make progress on your dreams.
Set yourself targets with actionable steps each day or week.
If you are writing a book, you might create the goal of 1000 words a day, or 3 pages a day, or whatever works for you.
If you are working on setting up a business, set goals that you know can meet each week as you go through that initial process.
Taurus is here to give you a huge helping hand to make your dreams become real!
Heal your Throat Chakra
Taurus rules the face, neck, and throat making this an ideal time to work on healing and clearing any energy blocks in your throat chakra to encourage free expression and a pure flow of energy.
- Try a visual meditation to heal your throat chakra: Imagine a blue light healing, bathing, and cleansing any stagnant energy lingering there.
- Express yourself through song, words, speaking, or writing your thoughts down on paper. Release what feels blocked by letting it out vocally.
- Always ensure that your communication with others is mindful and honors your truth.
- Practice Yoga poses such as chest expansion, cobra, and neck rotations which can help to relieve tension in the throat and neck area.
Treat yourself with Love
The way you treat yourself is so important so make sure you do so in a way that truly nourishes your heart, body, mind, and soul.
Taurus loves sensuality and luxury, so make space in your life for long, pampering baths with essential oils and healing salts.
Light a candle to accompany your morning meditation, or linger in the sun a little longer just enjoying the feeling of it on your skin.
Taurus loves to discover the magic in the mundane, so find a way to do just that in your day to day.
That could look like changing up your routine in simple ways – taking the scenic route, creating a new recipe, planning a picnic alfresco, or a special kind of date night.
Whatever you do, do it with a careful and loving attitude toward yourself and others, always.
Stay Grounded
Taurus energy can be stubborn and that might stir up some frustrations for you – stay strong, stable, firm, and grounded in yourself while remaining open to whatever the Universe brings.
The main takeaway from Taurus Season is – Make steady progress, stay firm and grounded, and take care of yourself.
You can practice the following affirmations to anchor in the stable energy of the season:
- I am always grounded and calm.
- I am balanced and whole.
- Abundance flows easily to me when I am stable and calm.
- I connect to life with joy and inspiration.
- I know my innate potential.
- I am committed to my highest goals.
- I have absolute faith in my success.
