The Sun entered the sign of the sensualist, earth spirit, and musician on April 19 and will remain there until May 20.

Ruled by the planet Venus, the goddess of the arts, beauty, love and peace, this is a time to bathe in the beauty of life and tune into your body’s instinctual wisdom. 

Basking under the sun, spending time in nature, working with your hands, enjoying good food with friends, and listening to music are a few ways to attune to your body, its senses, and is a pathway to inner peace which is an evolutionary goal for Taurus. 

Living in today’s fast-paced world, Taurus reminds us of the beauty of simplicity and listening to our body’s cues. There is wisdom in resting when you need to rest, eating nourishing and delicious food when you need to eat, and bathing in the simple beauty and pleasures of life. In a society where we have been conditioned to bypass our body’s needs, Taurus reminds us to come back to the body, breathe, and recenter.

Likewise, Taurus rules the second house (house of money, personal resources, self-worth) and is a fixed sign which means that building and sustaining a foundation — one which supports the ability to establish external and internal comfort is important for the peaceful bull.  

To get a sense of where we want to go in life and what we want to build, it's essential to tune into our body's inner voice and wisdom to lead the way. And this a simple yet wise lesson and gift that Taurus (season) is here to teach us.
