Ah, Taurus season: the time when April showers yield to May flowers and earth energy comes to the fore. From April 19 until May 20, the grounding influence of Taurus brings a much-needed respite from the hot-headed energy of Aries season. If your life has been going a thousand miles an hour during Aries season, you're in for some much-needed stability during the month of Taurus. Here's what to expect.
It's Time to Slow Down a Little
The nature of earth energy is slow and steady, and Taurus is the earthiest of the earth signs. That means that, while last month everything seemed to fly at an accelerated pace thanks to the fiery, hard-charging influence of Aries, this month, things will move at a much more manageable pace. Lean into the season, take a deep breath, touch some grass, and allow yourself to naturally slow with the energy that prevades right now. Don't worry — you'll be back to charging hard in no time!
You May Find Yourself Feeling a Little Hedonistic
Taurus season brings with it the energy of sensuality: appreciating all the physical pleasures life has to offer, from art to music to food to drink. So if you're feeling the pull to life's more physical aspects, it's the season affecting you. Find an art gallery you love, curl up with a really good book, or go wine tasting. It's a great way to take a break from go, go, go all the time.
Finding Compromise May Feel Like a Challenge
Tauruses are slow to anger (unlike their predecessor, Aries), but once they do, they charge hard and dig in. That's right — Taurus season, for all its calming influence, also brings with it incredibly stubborn energy. So, when conflicts arise in Taurus season, it can be a challenge to resolve them because both sides are inclined to dig in and hold their position — no matter how unreasonable. It's a good thing to keep in mind when conflict arises. If you simply can't come to a compromise, agree to disagree, table it, and come back to the table after May 20.
It's a Good Time to Create a New Habit
The steady and steadfast energy of Taurus season makes it a great time to create a new habit you've been wanting to establish. Taurus energy is all about finding a thing and sticking to it, so now is the time to make one or two small changes and practice them all month in order to form a habit.
Creative Inspiration Is Yours to Play With
Along with your increased sensuality during Taurus season, you'll also feel charged with creative energy. Now is the time to engage in those artistic or creative endeavors that have been calling to you for months. You already have the inspiration. Now get it out — whether through visual arts, movement, music, or the written word. There's never been a better time.
Things Should Stabilize a Little
You have to love the grounding influence of Tarus's earth energy. It brings a lot of stability with it, which means that if things have seemed a little topsy-turvy lately, they'll start to settle this month. Lean into the stability and allow the seeds you've sown in the past to take root this month so they can flower in the coming months.
Inner Peace Is Within Reach
The calming influence of earth energy can also create a sense of peace. While the energy is peaceful, lean into it through peaceful practices like yoga, cultivating presence, mindfulness, or meditation. Developing these practices now can put you in a more peaceful mindset, allowing you to cultivate peace during less calm and more chaotic periods.
Lean Into Taurus's Calm Energy
Taurus season gives you a month of peaceful respite between two of the year's most energetic seasons — Aries and Gemini. So, take this time to take a breath and enjoy the pleasures life has to offer.
