Welcome to Taurus Season!
The Sun officially moved into Taurus in the early hours of April 20th, and honestly? We needed this energy. The cosmic energy has been pretty full on of late and a little bit jarring. So as the Sun moves into the sign of the bull to join Taurus ruling planet Venus, let’s hope we have some soothing energy to accompany it.
The story behind the Bull.
Taurus is Latin for bull and is one of the oldest documented constellations, dating back to the Early Bronze Age when it marked the location of the Sun during the spring equinox.
The Egyptians, Greeks, and Babylonians all connected this constellation with the bull, its importance woven into the agricultural calendars and mythologies of ancient civilisations across the world.
In Greek mythology, the name Taurus comes from the story of Europa, a Phoenician princess who was carried across the sea by Zeus, who had disguised himself as a beautiful white bull. To honour this event, Zeus placed the image of the bull in the heavens, where it has watched over us ever since.
The bull’s symbolism perfectly matches Taurus energy, representing strength, steadfastness, and a deep appreciation for life’s pleasures. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, Taurus is deeply connected to themes of stability, persistence, and sensory enjoyment.
After the fire and urgency of Aries season, Taurus is here to slow things down and ask us: what’s actually worth building? This is a time for grounding, for savoring life’s pleasures, and for putting real effort into the things that matter most to you.
Think cozy evenings, good food, meaningful connections, and finally working on that project you’ve been putting off. Taurus doesn’t rush, it builds with intention.
Key dates this season:
May 1 Full Moon in Scorpio (emotions run deep, truth rises to the surface)
May 16 New Moon in Taurus (perfect for setting intentions around love, creativity and abundance)
Whether you’re a Taurus or not, this season is an invitation for ALL of us to slow down, get grounded, and invest our energy in what truly lasts.
Happy Taurus season, friends! Drop your sign below, how are you feeling this season?
