Meaningful transformations occur in layers, taking time to develop, and it’s during Taurus season when we get to fully wrap up the one we’ve been experiencing since October of 2024.
For this reason, Taurus season feels like the true beginning of 2025, which is when the last layer of our latest transformation is being peeled off. Pluto—the planet of evolution and renewal—is activated all season long, bringing revelations about our future around April 23, April 26, May 12, and especially around May 4, which is when Pluto begins its retrograde.
Many of the themes that have been sprouting under the surface fully take shape with the arrival of this season’s New Moon. Happening in the sign of Taurus on April 27, this lunar event represents a power play between our minds and our hearts. At this intense lunar event, we could become aware that, to keep moving forward, it’s crucial to begin relating with our sense of personal power in a completely new way. A huge emotional release is meant to occur now, asking us to be flexible with the events that now transpire. Leaving behind any of the hang-ups you’ve felt since October of 2024 isn’t easy—but it can sure be liberating, too!
Brand-new relationships will be forming now due to the love planet, Venus, meeting with dreamy Neptune in Aries for the first time in fourteen years, on May 2. This is an exciting time for our relationships, setting the tone for new values to emerge, which might involve building bonds that make space for more of our unique sense of individuality to shine through.
Psychic downloads are on the menu between May 11 and May 17 as the Taurus Sun gets closer to form its yearly conjunction with Uranus, the planet of genius. Make it a point to connect with your body at this time, as it is your vehicle to receive the aha moments, ideas, and exciting revelations that arrive. The May 12 Full Moon in Scorpio is part of this process, showing you how and where in your life you must liberate yourself for your own inner genius to emerge! This is also your Full Moon of the year, should you feel called to explore your sexuality, as it unites the most sensual sign (Taurus) with the most sexually driven energy of the zodiac (Scorpio).
Lastly, Taurus season might see you expanding in an exciting new direction due to Jupiter, the planet of growth, forming a square with the Lunar Nodes of Destiny. Active between April 28 and June 4 (but exact on May 18), it might inspire some of us to study a new subject or perhaps travel to a faraway destination. A new mentor or spiritual teacher could also arrive in our lives with the finality of teaching us a mind-expansive subject.
The sign of the Bull is all about revitalizing your connection with the five senses, so this month, we’ve included the essential oil that will align your zodiac sign with the beautiful gifts of Mother Nature.
Your Taurus Season Horoscopes 2025
Aries
Taurus season brings a lot of movement to your life, Aries! With your planet Mars finally in Leo, you’ll be feeling full of energy and ready to tackle what life throws at you. Do keep in mind that Mars will be clashing with other planets, making it crucial that you are careful in your demeanor on energetically sensitive dates like April 26 and May 17. Starting April 30, Venus re-enters your sign, teaming up with Mars to make you a hot commodity in the dating scene. On May 15, a love or relationship-related subject might be resolved, perhaps instigating closeness with an existing partner or perhaps a new romantic interest. This would be a powerful time to go back in time to review the themes that were present in your life between March 1 and March 26, which is when Venus was retrograde in your sign, as a way to integrate the learnings and lessons the planet of love has in store for you.
On a more tangible note, Taurus season is a time to pay attention to your finances, which will be especially true during this season’s lunar events. The April 27 New Moon would be a positive moment to roll out any financial initiatives that have been lurking in your mind. An unexpected expense could be in your cards between May 11 and May 17, simultaneously bringing new ideas on how to better move forward with the handling of not only your finances but also your resources.
Your Taurus Season Essential Oil: Sweet Orange
Mars in Leo has you feeling energized, and Sweet Orange helps you send your fire in a positive and creative direction. Anoint a few drops in your heart every morning as you get ready to seize the day!
Taurus
An eventful season is in store, and not only because it’s your birthday season, Taurus. Powerful Pluto will be activating your career sector during the entire time, magnifying the desire to make headway within your industry. The April 27 New Moon could be the beginning of a project, assignment, or even a completely new way to run your business. This intense lunar event might bring the awareness, however, that to get where you want to be, you might have to enlist the help of an associate or someone who has the focus or experience you require. Two weeks later, at the May 12 Full Moon in Scorpio, that exact person could magically appear out of nowhere. Another manifestation of this lunar event could awaken a different way of relating to others romantically. After all, the retrograde of Venus (March 1-April 12), while being over, continues to bring you aha moments concerning your approach to both pleasure and relationships.
Over the next four weeks, try staying flexible, Taurus—especially during the time wild-child Uranus is active in your sign (May 11 to May 17). Behind the annoyance of unexpected events and surprises that arrive now, the sky seeks to deliver you new ways of seeing yourself as well as your place in the world. The even better news is that this will be the last time you experience this disruptive but fun and invigorating influence—congratulations!
Your Taurus Season Essential Oil: Myrrh
With Pluto’s influence on your sign this season, you need an oil that brings protective and high vibes your way. Anoint Myrrh oil on your Crown Chakra before making important decisions, especially concerning your career.
Gemini
Taurus season is the time of the year during which you feel more tired, Gemini, as your body is recharging its energies in preparation for your birthday season. Make it a point to spend more time alone to contemplate your thoughts as well as your feelings, especially when your planet, Mercury, enters Taurus on May 10. There is also the possibility that you will be tucked away this season due to your desire to study something new. With Jupiter in your sign squaring the Lunar Nodes of Destiny, you might notice that to keep growing in your desired field, adopting new knowledge is a must. This influence could also mean you will be given two choices. You might have to choose between a familiar path that thrives on mental energy and logic, or alternatively, a path that will involve developing your intuition as well as your creativity. Spoiler alert: the best way to go, while more uncomfortable, is the second one.
Lastly, keep an eye on the days between May 6 and May 11. Your planet, Mercury, will be clashing with big-hitters Chiron and Pluto, giving you insight into the workings of your psyche. If you notice a personal insecurity being reawakened now, what the universe seeks to do is help you get to the root of the matter as a way to overcome it for good.
Your Taurus Season Essential Oil: Frankincense
With lucky Jupiter so active in your sign this season, you’re calling in the lucky vibes. Frankincense is Jupiter’s favorite scent—anoint your forehead with it every single morning to attract positive thoughts.
Cancer
This is a liberating month for you, Cancer, as you’re no longer feeling the pressure of having Mars in your sign. Now, between April 18 and June 17, Mas will see you investing more of your time and effort in achieving either financial security or freedom. Within this process, expect revelations on or around April 23, April 27, and May 10. Since finances are tied to your career, it’s also good to remember that with Neptune now in your career sector, you might be coming up with more creative ways to generate income. The days surrounding the May 2 Venus-Neptune conjunction might spell ways in which this influence might manifest for you over the next thirteen years.
Perhaps the best part of Taurus season is that it inspires you to come out of your shell, so expect to receive invitations to fun events. While this season’s lunar events hold an intense energetic imprint, they both will inspire you to connect with others who might be on your wavelength. The April 27 New Moon is perfect for finding a social group you might want to belong to. Two weeks later, the May 12 Full Moon in Scorpio might put you face-to-face with a new friend or, in the case you’re open to it, a new romantic interest. Overall, this is a positive time to put yourself out there!
Your Taurus Season Essential Oil: Bergamont
Mars traveling in your second house is all about rethinking your connection with money. Anointing your wrists with Bergamont oil focuses your energy on achieving wealth and abundance!
Leo
As you enter this month, Leo, notice how your energy levels are beginning to improve. Between April 18 and June 17, fiery planet Mars travels through your sign, injecting you with energy! Over the next few weeks, your productivity will soar, helping you catch up on your to-do list and wish list. Keep in mind that Mars only visits your sign every two years, so this is definitely your time to shine! Even if you run into obstacles around April 27 and May 10, these could create the perfect terrain for you to find the solutions to the problems you’ve been dealing with for months.
This season, it will be key that you remain flexible within your career-related projects. While the April 27 New Moon in Taurus might start you on a new project, trajectory, or journey, it might require you to make changes to your schedule. You’re likely to find this out at the May 12 Full Moon in Scorpio, which brings an energy of chaos. Sure, keeping a life/work balance is key—however, the ups and downs you’ve endured in your career are almost over, Leo. Being aware of this on the days between May 11 and May 17 (which is when surprises are most likely to arrive), makes it easier to put your career over your personal life one more—and one last—time.
Your Taurus Season Essential Oil: Cinnamon
Mars in your sign will have you lit up! Cinnamon ensures you send that fire in a positive direction. Putting a few drops on your Solar Plexus Chakra in the mornings helps you focus while adding a touch of witchy magic to your day.
Virgo
Taurus season is a time to practice self-compassion, Virgo. Between April 18 and June 17, driven planet, Mars travels through your twelfth house, which normally coincides with a desire to rest and recuperate your energies. You will feel this the most on April 23, April 27, and May 10, so plan accordingly. If you need a vacation, this would be a fantastic time to take it, as Taurus rules your sector of travel and faraway horizons. At this season’s New Moon in Taurus, you might notice that there is power in putting yourself, physically or mentally, in places that bring a foreign element to your life. Even if you can’t travel too far now, experimenting with different kinds of food, art, and activities you don’t normally explore can bring a sense of freshness to your life.
Your career is highlighted this season with the Jupiter-Lunar Nodes connection (active from April 28 to June 4), possibly bringing the need to choose between two very different paths. One of them is the easiest and most familiar to you, but this is one of those times during which the universe is inspiring you to grow in the direction that seems most uncomfortable to you. This time around, Virgo, dare to choose the mystical and the magical over what seems more logical for you to do.
Your Taurus Season Essential Oil: Valerian
With Mars traveling in your twelfth house, you’ll be needing more rest. Adding a few drops of Valerian to your pillow before heading to sleep ensures a good night’s sleep accompanied by sweet dreams.
Libra
Congratulations, Libra—you endured many months of ups and downs in your career, and with Mars now in Leo, you can expect life on the job to be a bit more predictable. This move alone will give you more energy to do what you do best, which is socializing. Between April 18 and June 17, Mars will supercharge your friendship sector, bringing more opportunities to spend time with like-minded people. Over the next few weeks, and especially at the April 27 New Moon in Taurus, you might be added to a few social groups, so enjoy mingling your way around them.
If you experienced a lot of relationship or money changes during the time Venus was retrograde (March 1-April 12), things should begin falling into place this season. Lover Venus will be gracing your relationship sector starting April 30, bringing waves of sweetness to any relationship that might have gotten sour. On May 2, Venus will meet with Neptune in your relationship sector for the first time in fourteen years, bringing meaningful changes to the way you relate. From now on, you might also notice a bit of confusion arise around where people end and where you begin. Try getting clear on this, Libra, as having weak boundaries now could be detrimental to the state of your connections in the long run.
Your Taurus Season Essential Oil: Rose
The Venus-Neptune connection, the first of fourteen you will experience between now and 2039, requests that you cultivate self-love. Anoint Rose oil in your Heart Chakra whenever spending time with people.
Scorpio
Taurus season is the time you’ve been waiting for Scorpio, as it brings your planet, Mars, out of its weakest positions in the sky! As a result, you’re feeling energized and ready to implement all the learnings from previous months. Between April 18 and June 17, Mars will help you make strides in your career. You’ll feel inspired to tackle your to-do list and deal with projects you put on the back burner due to low energy levels. The April 27 New Moon in Taurus could see you initiating an ambitious new career project. At this time, a powerful partnership could be formed, however, it’s important to keep in mind that since this is an intense lunar event, you must play your cards right. Two weeks later, at the May 12 Full Moon, which happens in your sign, you could become aware of where you stand.
Within this process, leave room for adjustments, as anything that begins this season still holds an element of surprise. Uranus, the planet of change and disruption, will be very active in your relationship sector between May 11 and May 17, testing your ability to adapt and go with the flow. And luckily, Scorpio, after this year, you will say goodbye to this energy, which has been active in your life since 2018.
Your Taurus Season Essential Oil: Peppermint
Mars in your tenth house of career sets you up for many productive weeks. So when you need a healthy energy boost, add Pepermint oil to your forehead and your wrists to align in mind, body, and spirit.
Sagittarius
If you’ve felt like your mojo ghosted you for months, Sagittarius, it’s coming back in full force this month with Mars (finally) out of your transformation sector. This move should give you more energy to be out and about, so you’ll be interacting more with the outside world. Between April 18 and June 17, Mars might inspire you to do your favorite thing, which is to set sail to a faraway destination. Even if you’re busy at work, you might decide to plan your next vacation at the April 27 New Moon. If traveling isn’t on your mind, this lunar event is one of the best times of the year to clean and organize your space, so act accordingly.
The most exciting part for you of this season’s astrology is the Jupiter-Lunar Nodes connection, which is active between April 28 and June 4. A new person could come into your life, and with a very specific purpose that feels “fated” or “meant to be.” This person could very well be a teacher, spiritual mentor, and maybe a romantic interest. After all, love planet Venus will be activating your romantic sector, starting April 30, bringing the desire to connect with someone at a soul level. If you’ve already been dating someone for some time, this could also mean you deciding to take your agreement to the next level.
Your Taurus Season Essential Oil: Sandalwood
They say that Sandalwood helps you attract the “Gods of Fortune”—exactly what you need when your planet, Jupiter, is so activated. Adding a few drops to your Crown Chakra helps you “be in the right place at the right time.”
Capricorn
Pace yourself, Capricorn. Following up on a theme that began in March (Pisces season), Taurus season continues to bring a lot of work and responsibilities your way. This is due to the Lunar North Node sitting next to your planet, Saturn, magnifying the need for you to close deals, meet deadlines, and finish work. Lasting until the end of May (Gemini season), this influence is connected to building something meaningful over the passage of time, which means that all the effort you’re putting into your work will eventually reap you rewards. You might even experience a win or receive a prize for a job well done around May 20, one of your luckiest days this season. Today, as the Taurus Sun harmonizes with Saturn, it would be a fantastic time to ask for a raise, for example.
Luckily, you also get fun energies running through your chart this month, with the April 27 New Moon in Taurus bringing the chance to bring new people into your orbit. A new romantic interest could also be in the cards, but might not be exactly the type you normally date, so stay open-minded. Two weeks later, as the potent May 12 Full Moon approaches, you could be spending the weekend mingling with your new pals. As you can see, Capricorn, balancing your work-life balance is a theme and a must this month.
Your Taurus Season Essential Oil: Lemongrass
Lemongrass reawakens your energy when you’re feeling on the verge of exhaustion, so you’ll need it to keep yourself focused at work. Add it to your chest and wrists before important meetings and tasks.
Aquarius
Taurus season will bring you the opportunity to get in touch with your power, Aquarius. What transpired in your life around January 3? That same theme gets reawakened around April 26, and while it will be intense, it will let you know the life changes you need to make to keep evolving. The lunar cycle that begins at the April 27 New Moon carries this energy, bringing a fantastic time to consult the tarot daily, as a way to dig deep into your subconscious mind. This spiritual work is carried forward two weeks later, by the May 12 Full Moon, which promises to awaken your psychic abilities and downloads.
Your planet, genius Uranus, will be very activated between May 11 and May 18. During this time, brilliant, out-of-the-box, and even weird ideas could be born—don’t discard them, as they could prove to be productive down the road. Since Uranus is also the planet of unexpected energy, currently traveling in your home sector, you could also be receiving news about your family or living situation. Remember to go with the flow and look for the positive in every single event that transpires now. It might also help to know that the disruptive energy you’ve been experiencing in this part of your life is coming to an end at the beginning of July.
Your Taurus Season Essential Oil: Blue Lotus
With your planet, Uranus, being active this Taurus season, psychic downloads will invade your mind. Adding a few drops of the legendary Egyptian Blue Lotus oil clears your Crown Chakra, purifying the information you receive from above.
Pisces
Good news, Pisces! After two very busy Pisces and Aries seasons, Taurus season provides you with the space to catch your breath. While the days surrounding the April 24 Venus-Saturn meet-up in your sign might mean closing business deals and the beginning of a new partnership, the rest of the month slows things down for you. Venus also enters your money sector on April 30, so you’ll probably have more money to spend on pampering yourself.
You might want to welcome May with a mellow schedule, as you could feel pretty low in energy between May 1 and May 5, when Pluto goes retrograde in the most private sector of your chart. This would be an opportune time to dive into esoteric practices like tarot, astrology, and Akashic Records, as the universe will be sending you messages via signs, symbols, and your dreams. This season’s Jupiter-Lunar Nodes connection, active all month but exact on May 18, is important for you to pay attention to. You might need to make a decision concerning your home, your partner, or a deal or contract. While you’re always looking into keeping everyone involved happy, this is a time to put yourself as well as your needs first. By doing so, you’re setting the tone for a successful future, opening the door for sweet news to arrive before Jupiter leaves Gemini on June 9.
Your Taurus Season Essential Oil: Lavender
Since you’ll be focusing on slowing down and recuperating after the busyness of Pisces and Aries seasons, Lavender oil is your go-to this Taurus season. Add a few drops to your pillow before heading to sleep to reset your nervous system.
