Welcome to 🌳 Taurus Season 🌳

Taurus season begins on April 19th at 9am CT and continues through May 20th and I could not be more excited! Aries season was a lot of deep retrospection, introspection and realignment so while there was a lot of internal activity, it was harder to access outward action.

Taurus season is flipping the script on that. Everyone, especially those with major placements in Taurus, will be enjoying life's earthly pleasures while also making tangible steps forward on whatever they have been working hard on.

Although the Sun moves through Taurus every year, how the planets and moon are uniquely positioned each year creates a new landscape that changes the flavor of the season. Right now, several of the planets are working their way through Aries, including Venus (the ruler of Taurus), and we have a few more moving through Pisces.

The tone of this particular Taurus season is ripe for taking practical steps towards your vision and dreams, moving into new belief systems and taking charge of your own authenticity and leadership. This Taurus season may feel like an extension of Aries season, but with more focused momentum.

Key Dates:

April 19th: Taurus Season
April 23rd: Full Moon in Scorpio
April 20th: Uranus conjunct Jupiter in Taurus
April 29th: Venus in Taurus
April 30th: Mars in Aries
May 2nd: Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius
May 7th: New Moon in Taurus
May 15th: Mercury in Taurus
May 18th: Jupiter Cazimi

Let's dive into the more prominent aspects/transits of this season!

♉ The Sun is in Taurus...

Taurus season is a time for grounding, stability, and enjoying the pleasures of life, while also being patient and persistent in pursuing goals. It is a fixed, earth sign ruled by the bull. It is the time of the year where we focus on the statement "I have" and review the tangible things in our life.

🍀 Jupiter makes a Conjunction to Uranus

A Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus on April 20th is a significant event that brings together the expansive energy of Jupiter with the innovative and revolutionary energy of Uranus, all within the grounded and practical sign of Taurus. This is considered the luckiest day of 2024 for individuals as blessings may seem to just drop in out of nowhere.

This conjunction occurs roughly every 14 years and can have profound effects on both individual and collective levels. The last time it happened in the sign of Taurus was May 7th, 1941. This coincided with a period of significant upheaval, social and cultural transformation, and innovation as the world grappled with the challenges of World War II. The workforce in America was changed forever as men were sent to war. We were introduced to Rosie the Riveter, rationing programs and radar technology.

Here's what you need to know about it and how you can take advantage of this powerful alignment:

Expansive Change and Growth: Jupiter represents expansion, abundance, and growth, while Uranus signifies sudden changes, breakthroughs, and innovation. When these two planets come together in a conjunction, there's a potent energy for catalyzing significant shifts and advancements, particularly in areas related to Taurus themes such as finance, material resources, and the environment.
Innovative Solutions to Practical Matters: Taurus is an earth sign associated with practicality, stability, and tangible resources. During a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus, people may find innovative solutions to practical problems, particularly those related to finances, agriculture, food production, and environmental sustainability. It's a time for embracing new technologies and methods that can lead to greater efficiency and abundance in these areas.
Financial Opportunities and Investments: Taurus rules over money, possessions, and material wealth, so a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in this sign can bring about unexpected financial opportunities and windfalls. People may experience sudden gains or breakthroughs in their financial situation, but it's essential to approach investments and financial decisions with caution and mindfulness, as Uranus's influence can also bring volatility and unpredictability.
Embracing Change and Adventure: Taurus is known for its resistance to change, but with the influence of Jupiter and Uranus, there's a push to embrace change and step out of comfort zones. This conjunction encourages people to be open to new experiences, ideas, and perspectives, even if they seem unconventional or outside the norm. It's a time for taking calculated risks and exploring new horizons.
Breaking Free from Limiting Beliefs: Uranus is associated with freedom, individuality, and breaking free from restrictions. During a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus, people may feel inspired to break free from limiting beliefs or societal norms that have been holding them back. It's a time for personal liberation and embracing one's unique identity and values.

To take advantage of a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus, it's essential to stay open-minded, flexible, and adaptable to change. Embrace opportunities for growth and innovation, particularly in areas related to finances, resources, and personal values. Be willing to take calculated risks and explore new possibilities, knowing that breakthroughs and advancements are possible under this potent astrological alignment.

💅 Venus moves into Taurus

When Venus, the planet of love and beauty, moves into Taurus on April 29th, a serene and sensual energy envelops the atmosphere, emphasizing indulgence in physical comforts, stability in relationships, and appreciation for beauty and art. This transit encourages us to slow down, savor the present moment, and cultivate enduring connections with loved ones. Financial matters also come into focus, with an emphasis on stability and prosperity.

Venus in Taurus invites us to embrace the pleasures of life, build strong foundations in our relationships, and attract abundance through patience, loyalty, and a deep appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us.

🚀 Mars moves into Aries

With all of the stop-and-go energy during Aries season in April, you will be delighted to hear that on April 30th Mars moves into Aries and begins to alchemize all of the deep introspection and reflection. Mars in Aries, its ruler, brings action to whatever you spent time mulling over.

Expect a surge of dynamic energy, courage, and assertiveness, encouraging bold action and initiative. This transit empowers us to take risks, assert our independence, and pursue our goals with passion and determination, but it may also lead to impulsive behavior and quick tempers, so it's important to channel this energy constructively. Mars in Aries sparks a sense of adventure and fearlessness, urging us to embrace new beginnings and assert our individuality with confidence.

While it may seem most obvious that those with Taurus placements are most affected by this astrology, all the fixed signs will be feeling this season a bit more than most:

〰️ Taurus
〰️ Leo
〰️ Scorpio

Everyone can take advantage of this energy though. If you know your Rising Sign, read the horoscope for that (it will be more specific to you).
