Reviewing through Taurus season
I have been considering various approaches to sharing the wealth of information that our astrology charts provide. The multitude of layers and insights into our personalities, patterns, and cycles are truly remarkable. In fact, our natal chart has been referred to as our soul contract, and I find this perspective particularly insightful. However, executing these contracts can be difficult when we are unable to read the language in which they are written. How do we know exactly what is expected of us and what we came here to learn?
In my experience, the best place to start is with the foundational layer: the Elements. These include:
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces).
Each layer of our personality, life path, cycles, and relationships is built upon these elements. By understanding them, we can better work with the person, pattern, or cycle at hand.
As we are currently in Taurus season (April 20 - May 20), which is ruled by the Earth element, it seems fitting to discuss its qualities. Groundedness, practicality, stability, and a connection to the physical world are all linked to this element. Taurus is known for its love of pleasure and luxury, as well as its deep connection to nature and the material world. Our possessions, finances, and material resources, as well as our ability to earn money, are all connected to our self-worth. If you have Taurus in your Sun, Moon, or Rising signs, this energy likely plays a significant role in your life.
If you are interested in delving deeper into your personal astrology, begin by looking at your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. You can easily find this information online for free. Keywords associated with Earth people include stability, criticality, practicality, results-orientation, quality, groundedness, integrity, stubbornness, sensuality, routine, repetition, loyalty, and research. If you have Earth in any of these signs, consider which of these keywords resonate with you the most.
This Taurus season has been unusual due to Mercury being stationed retrograde for almost the entire season (April 21 - May 14), as well as a lunar eclipse on Friday (anyone else feel that intense energy!?!). Have you been reflecting, reviewing, and reconsidering the things you value and love? If so, consider the areas of your life that Taurus rules in your chart.
If you are celebrating a birthday during Taurus season, treat yourself to a reading to learn what the upcoming year will bring. Alternatively, if you would like to gain more insight into your chart in general, I would love to explore it with you in a one-on-one session.
Additionally, if you are interested in learning more about astrology and understanding yourself, your loved ones, and your relationships in a more powerful way, please join me on Saturday, July 8th from 2:00pm - 5:30pm at The Divine Awakening Center in Farmington, UT for Astrology for the Soul: Beginner’s Workshop.
Above all, remember that during this Taurus season, it is best to go slow, value simplicity, connect with Mother Earth, and show gratitude and self-care for your body. How does Taurus show up in your life? I would love to hear your thoughts and reflections on this season.
As someone with Chiron in Taurus, I understand that healing is often required during this time, and I offer my love, acceptance, and gratitude to you all.
Thank you for sharing this space with me.
