Embrace elegant simplicity this Taurus Season, April 19th until May 20th. Yet, stay agile to adapt to unexpected changes. Stay the course, but stay flexible. 

Mother Nature is calling you this Taurus Season. Connect to divine intelligence by delighting in nature’s wisdom. Surrender your hubris. Allow yourself to be supported by the earth. 

Taurus season is an Invitation to slow way down. This is the moment to savor what brings you true pleasure. What brings you true and lasting joy and contentment? 

Elegant simplicity is the way to harness the powerful energy of the bull. Allowing for everything to be beautiful, useful and durable is the ideal way to harmonize with Taurus. A more minimalistic, salt of the earth, enduring legacy will serve you greatly now. 

This is the moment to connect in to a lasting value that endures. Taurus will not stand for flimsy, cheap consumerism now. 

Where are you wasting away your valuable resources? The wasteland of superficial consumerism will not satisfy Taurus’s pallet. The wisdom of the earth runs through the Empresses blood. (Taurus is the Empress in Tarot).

This fertile earth sign is deeply rooted in true abundance. We can cheaply create a makeshift reality that we will soon throw away with little substance or value. Or we can start to truly value our possessions like the treasures that they are. 

Take inventory of your possessions. Value what you already have. What you appreciate, appreciates. This is the way to create true abundance. 

Align more simply with your authentic values. Create stability in your life by actively aligning your actions with your own unique values. 

Discover what you’re made of. 

An exploration of your value system is over due. A fresh application is needed this solar cycle. A few questions to help ground you in your authentic values are: What do you spend most of your time doing? What is most organized in your life? What do you spend most of your money on? What do you spend most of your time thinking about? 

Aim true. Be authentic. 

Have you adopted someone else’s value system without finding your own?  There are aspirational values that we wish or maybe think we should possess. And, there are authentic values which represent our true selves. 

Committing to our values will create the deep sense of security we are longing for now. Taurus’ stubborn and patient determination echoes in the wise words “Nevertheless, she persisted.” Taurus has resolve. Be tenacious. Stick to your guns. Stay the course for the next four weeks. 

Taurus prioritizes security. Yet, the bull is being rubbed the wrong way. This new moon and sun are conjunct Uranus, all in Taurus. 

Sun and Moon cast a strenuous eye at destabilizing Uranus. Uranus is debilitated in the sign of Taurus, or in it’s fall not able to express itself well. Uranus will transit through Taurus until 2026, not to return for another 84 years!

Stubborn Taurus wants things to stay the same, and has a strong aversion to change. Uranus shakes things up. The blue planet catalyzes electrifying and sudden changes that shock. These two energies together are like a bull in a china shop as they say. 

The old adage “The more things change, the more they stay the same” is very Taurus in Uranus. Taurus will do everything in its power to maintain continuity. Yet, Uranus can’t deny its erratic nature. 

Taurus resists Uranus’s change-making agenda.

Uranus is the mad scientist ruling over innovation and tech. A revolutionary bringing the future to life for the greater good. Taurus is the nostalgic banker longing for more conventional times. These two simply are not going to get on well at the neighborhood block party. 

Taurus’s domain of finances, possessions, security and farming are being jolted by Uranus’s lightning bolts. 

The last time Uranus was in Taurus the ATM machine came into existence. Astrologers like Astro Twins predicted cashless tech for this transit. Bamboo Sushi across the way has already gone cashless. Barista coffee shop is now only accepting online orders during the pandemic. 

The twins also predicted a digital revolution of Taurus rules art & culture during this transit. The pandemic is certainly pushing artists find new ways to share their work online. 

This new moon is characterized by challenge. 

Strict Saturn in Uranus ruled Aquarius is square the new moon. There is conflict and contrast, resistance to change. The old guard of patriarchal Saturn and old school Taurus do not want to adapt to the new cycle we are in. 

This is the time to stay sovereign and self reliant. Embrace compassion and hold space for others without taking on the weight of the world. 

People are feeling rebellious with warrior Mars in freedom loving Aquarius. The Uranus conjunction, and Saturn square, create restlessness that are disharmonious to Taurus’s nature. This is not the time to behave erratically or take big risks. 

Stay open minded. 

Harness the excitement purposefully by aligning with your values. Yet, be aware of the likelihood for Saturn to further restrict the need for change. Freedom and excitement will come, but for now tap into the wellspring of patience Taurus provides to see you through turbulent times.
