Working with the Energies of Taurus Season April- May

Taurus energy chants – you are worthy; you were born worthy; you need nothing outside of yourself to claim or own just how worthy you truly are.

As the Sun entered Aries last month, the start of the astrological new year began. Now, on April 19/20th, the Sun is leaving Aries for Taurus, where it will remain until May 20th/21st. It is at this point that energy slows, and we begin feeling our feet land on the ground after the hot and fiery sprint that Aries Season has offered.

Taurus Season is our time in the year to slow down, consolidate our schedule, and think about what we wish to really dedicate our time to.

While Aries Season inspires our impulses and passions, Taurus Season wants us to look at our long-term goals and hone in on what we really want to dedicate our time to.

This slower-paced energy that Taurus Season brings is likely to be welcome, especially if we are feeling a bit burnt out or zapped from all of our comings and goings.

Taurus is also the sign linked with pleasure, so under the Taurus Sun, we are each getting an opportunity to stop and smell the roses and make time for pleasure in our lives.

Rather than rushing ahead and using this strong momentum to get things done, we can now sit back, relax, and think of ways to conserve our resources and energy.

Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus, so along with focusing on pleasure, we may also notice themes around money, feelings of self-worth, and how we interact in our relationships. Taurus and Venus together gets us thinking about what makes us safe and worthy to give and receive love.

As Taurus Season comes to an end, we will start feeling the energy of the Pleiadean star system as the Sun aligns with its major star, Alcyone.

I like to think of Alcyone as the feminine version of Sirius. If Sirius is our Spiritual Sun, then I think Alycone can be our Shadow Sun. The Sun that shines a light on all that deeper, darker stuff we have to wade through in order to reach new levels of spiritual awareness.

As we wrap up Taurus Season and head into Gemini Season, Alycone’s energy will be strong and we will be able to tap into the shadows that are needed for our own spiritual transformation.

These shadows are our fears and repressed emotions. These shadows are also the feelings of shame we may possess around ourselves and our lives.

Exposing and bringing these into the light is always possible, but under the influence of the Pleiades, we may feel divinely supported and guided to do this work.
