taurus season is the middle of spring in the nothern hemisphere and the middle of autumn in the southern hemisphere…

…taurus is a fixed sign meaning it takes place in the middle of a season, which we can interpet as an energy that maintains, sustains and stabilizes. it is an earth sign. it is associated with the planet venus. i feel like taurus energy is very connected to senses and sensuality. as well as a kind of beauty that is very simple and ‘organic’ somehow. taurus always makes me think of gardens. especially permaculture gardens.

some keywords we can associate with taurus are: rest / pleasure / slowness / delight / balance. remember, this doesn’t mean people with their sun signs in taurus necessarily embody these characteristics, rather i am speaking to the archetypal quality of the zodiac sign itself.

when we say “taurus season” we mean the sun is moving through the zodiac sign of taurus. so during this time, taurus sun sign people have their birthday or ‘solar return’.

generally this can feel like a supportive time for the other earth sun signs (virgo and capricorn) and also quite nice for water signs like cancer and pisces, although possibly a bit more challenging for scorpios. it can also be an exciting although slightly tense season for leo and aquarius. and for gemini, aries, libra and sag, this period can feel a little bit like not much of anything. (this is based on the aspect that the sun in taurus makes to one’s own natal sun sign. as the sun moves through the zodiac throughout the year, it is always in dialogue with your own natal sun, making different times of year feeling more or less easeful or challenging).

but how this season might feel for you of course depends totally on your birth chart and particular life moment. all birth charts (and people) are different and complex and layered in totally unique and complicated ways.

anyway. this taurus season i feel like carries us out of a very intense time. my hope is that you can sort of rest and recover with the long term goal of become steadier in embodying your values.

taurus

your season! new beginnings.
a kind of sob. relief?

everything is a seed. terrifying. coz you don’t know. exciting! coz you don’t know.
trust becomes more visible in june.
behind the scenes,
you’re moving forward again.
invite fire to return you to yourself.

there’s build up to electric change. so let surprise follow you. open your windows to the weird cracks of eccentricity (and electricity).
sun can shine in lightning storms…
not often, but possible.
be open to the not often, but possible.

gemini

things are finally picking up pace again.
comfort? or panic? both are fine.

the last year has been showing you to yourself in slow and mirrored mystery,
preparing your foundations for the POP!
that awaits you in july.

everything is an opportunity. so don’t even worry yourself with if it’s the “right one”.

some kind of weight wants to make itself an anchor instead of a burden, participate in this process with love songs to your alter ego.

cancer

it’s not just you. so far, the year has been tough.
ebb and flow, ease and no… not ease, but definitely something lifting. grow with it.

get little boosts from little things.
small helps go long way.
community is a thing that is also learning how to become itself – slow growth is real growth.
patience makes the heart grow stronger.

the last six months have pruned you. ouch, but also – so fresh now! everything is a green bud. be enamoured and tender in equal measure.

leo

think about who you are
in power, with power, against power.
you are (always) in relationship to power, in different contexts and positions, various ways and forms, you may not alway see it, but it’s there.

how does it feel?

the answer to that question –     comes      s   l    o  w.
slow is annoying but required reading
for sustaining life and maintaining vitality.
you are more ready for this riddle than you think.

everything is important. let the truth of this bring you into full presence.

virgo

a big sort of collecting swoop wants to gather you. try to allow it.
every time you embody your beliefs and values, something subtle (but sweet) affirms your aliveness.
tune into the small successes of your life.

the last three years have brought so much maturation to who you are in relationships.
as difficult as it is to understand yourself, it is very good that you are just you.

everything is a wheel that turns.
this allows endings and beginnings to cross-over into a rhythm that eventually just feels like life.

libra

everything is a game. this doesn’t mean it’s not serious, but it does mean there can be room for fun. remember how good you are at fun.

something important is on its way back to you and probably you don’t know what it is yet, but isn’t it nice to know that it’s on its way?

it’s high time a gift gravitates towards you,
since you’re emerging from a probably-too-long period of chaos. but something of this stormy season has fertilized your roots.
don’t you feel more “you” somehow? stripped down and shining – essentially yourself?
sit in darkness with a secret joy of this knowing.

scorpio

you’re looking at it and it’s looking at you.
there are a thousand different types of
tension that are folded into perception.

you know that tension can be just as generative as it can be destructive, depending on how you look at it.
let something about how you
look at it              shift        this season.
let gaps illuminate the change of pace.

everything is on its way.
the sort of mundane motion of life can soothe and smooth the edges of this period of potency.

sagittarius

a doubling pace arrives, move fast but go slow.
you’ve spent a year perfecting the discomfort
of trickster-ish nonsense that slices meaning
into something too small.

it’s ok if it doesn’t make sense.
everything is not always about things
making sense.
sometimes sense wants to make things.
tune into your senses.
what do they want to make this season?

now tune into sense.
what does sense want to make?
start with a spark.

capricorn

you are infinitely more erotic than most people think and this is a source of joy.

the tone of your guidance is getting ready to change pitch and change pace. trust that some flappiness, some mess, is part of it.
maybe you’re ready to let some of your erotic hotness be seen.
get spicy. feel embarrassed.
laughter is a door to something else, something honest.

everything is a turn-on if you’re rested enough.
let something evaporate for once.

aquarius

it’s incredibly fucking annoying, i know.
some kind of energy pacing through you,
makes you alive, angry, displaced.
but centering you too somehow.
a grounding thud –
you’re home.
in you, in earth.
everything is a vibration.
put your head in the earth and inhale the soil to avoid getting sucked up in to power dynamics and the vortex of work
that’s been doubling up as an
underwater volcano. find stillness in your pelvis, your throat.
be bossy, but kind.

pisces

you’re still in it and everything is it.
you can make decisions. you can be real,
in fact,
you already are. river is just as real as ice.
changing forms are still forms.

in fact, be in fact. be in the fact of your tension.
it is the stepping stone to an arrival point
that feels more correct.

silence can also be weaponised
be conscious about how you use it.

friendship is a balm and not only humans can be friends. talk with creatures.

aries

watch words emerge from your body with a kind of cautious fascination.
everything is a story.

participating in life makes you a co-narrator.
heroes are only boring if they’re only heroes.
villains often get more shit done.

your inner villain and your inner hero are secretly (or not secretly) really into each other.
let them flirt.

something slowly eases and a flow returns.
you’re ready to start playing again but
make sure your goals can change, too.
