Embracing Taurus Season: A Masterclass on Simply Being
I absolutely love Taurus season. I've noticed for the past three years without fail that I always feel a sense of renewal this time of year - it's just this wonderful time between spring and summer that is inviting us to bloom alongside nature.
If you’re just getting started with astrology, I would really recommend taking note of how you feel during each season so that you can be more in tune with a sign’s energy in the future. This monthly series is also designed to help you navigate each season to your advantage.
About Taurus
Taurus is an Earth sign, and like their fellow Earth signs (Virgo and Capricorn), they are reliable, hardworking, practical, and work best with structure.
Taurus is also a Fixed sign. Fixed signs are stabilizing signs that fully bloom because they take place in the middle of a season. For example, Taurus season takes place in the middle of Spring, Leo in the middle of Summer, Scorpio in the middle of Fall, and Aquarius in the middle of Winter.
So Fixed signs really reflect that stablizing energy: they set their mind to a goal and go after it wholeheartedly. And they often dislike or struggle with change because once they get into a groove, it's hard for them to change track.
How to be more Taurus
Taurus traits include being determined, grounded, patient sensual. They are a lover of luxury in nature, and they are very loyal.
Taurus really thrive off of security, and they are focused on being present, especially in one's body. Having that sense of safety established is what helps us feel most at ease with letting our guard down and just enjoying life.
Taurus energy demands us to bask in the decadence of being alive, luxuriating in our human experience and taking joy and simple sensory pleasures. Taurus asks us to ground ourselves, and gives us permission to bloom slowly, unhurried. It encourages us to have strong boundaries with others, and with ourselves.
Taurus season is truly a masterclass of simply being. Ruled by Venus, she wants us to live in alignment with our values, and practice and embody what we preach. It's a great time to remind yourself that you are innately worthy, and that the version of yourselves that you imagine that's so far away in the future, actually already exists inside of you now.
Style reflections for Taurus season
Since Taurus is all about luxury, what fabrics, prints, and colors feel wonderful to you? Figure out what activates your senses in a pleasurable way, and start incorporating them into your outfits.
Reviewing your style budget is a great practice during Taurus season. Are you happy with your spending habits around your style? Are you indulging too much? Or are you not giving yourself permission to indulge at all? What in your closet could you be investing in that you would actually use and serve a functional purpose?
Embodiment is key to slaying any look. Activate your senses by dancing, lighting a candle, anything that will help you feel your intentions for whatever it may be that you want to invite into your life: whether that’s success, self-love, or confidence in your body.
