During the four weeks of Taurus Season 2022, the sensual, steadfast Bull spurs us on, helping us prioritize the practical—with a side of pleasure.
The Sun visits a new zodiac sign every 30 days or so. During each “season,” everyone feels the influence of the prevailing astrological energy. Taurus season 2022 begins April 19 and ends May 20.
Productivity reigns supreme now, as Taurus season 2022 restores some much-needed order to our courts. During the exhilarating-yet-exhausting Aries season, the last four weeks have been anything but boring! But we could all use a moment to catch a breath and find our focus once again.
Here are five ways to embrace the pace of the Bull from April 19 until May 20 during Taurus season 2022:
1. Slow your roll…but know when to charge like a Bull!
Earthy Taurus energy is grounding, cultivating a sense of ease and contentment. Unless, that is, we find ourselves getting worked up about something. Then the proverbial steam will start to pour out of our ears!
During Taurus season, don’t rush or skimp on the practicalities of any plan. With this sensible sign at the helm, we need to carefully consider every detail, ensuring a high-quality and elegant outcome. Chief among the traits of Taurus is a built-in energy conservation program.
Taurus directs us to patiently assess whether something is worth the investment of time and resources. Don the project manager’s fedora and add some practical magic to the recipe. Take life at a mindful and more productive pace for the next four weeks, making time to enjoy the little things!
2. Explore your sensual side
Taurus is ruled by sensual Venus, whose yin qualities are expressed through this earthy sign by heightening our receptivity. Ask yourself: What do I need in order to feel happy, fulfilled, and loved? How can I be more open to receiving physical pleasure?
Now’s the time to luxuriate in self-care rituals that add decadence to the start of each day. For example, you could use a dry brush on your skin to exfoliate and get the circulation going before you hop into the shower—and before you totally dry off, massaging lotion (or a natural oil) into your skin to moisturize and give yourself some much-needed touch.
Pay attention to your spaces: Do you have beauty in your line of vision? Does the room have a nice scent? Is your desk facing a window? Another rule of Taurus season: Wherever there’s adequate light, there’s space for a houseplant. Little changes go a long way to make the mundane feel magical.
3. Treat yourself—mindfully
Tasteful Taurus loves life’s finer things but frowns on flashiness and waste. Although Taurus season 2022 shifts our focus to security and budgeting, we can also be tempted to spend our money and resources recklessly.
Enjoy life’s pleasures, but do so mindfully, or with a practical purpose. Taurus season is a time for investing in quality objects that stand the test of time. And all the better if they can help you relax in comfort and style.
Think of foundation pieces, like a classic sofa you can sprawl on with a book, a great mattress to improve your sleep, or a crafted dining table for entertaining guests and family for years to come.
4. Speak your truth
Taurus rules the neck, and our throat chakras could all use a little tuneup during this solar cycle. Try some yoga poses to open yours or even a guided meditation to help you speak your truth. If words escape you, unleash your pent-up vocal pressure with karaoke or even a primal scream. Nothing wrong with belting out your favorite ballads in the car, either!
Always wanted to take singing lessons? Look for video tutorials and Skype lessons—whether you consider yourself an off-key mess or a proud chanteuse. If you’re more of a spoken-word type, groups like Toastmasters are offering virtual training to help you hone your public-speaking chops.
5. Stick to your guns, but don’t forget to compromise
There’s a fine line between loyalty and stubbornness, and it’s one that gets easily trampled during Taurus season. The shadow side of rooted Taurus energy can keep us stuck in our comfort zones and habits. Monitor your resistance.
If perfectly calculated plans hit a snag, try trusting the process instead of freaking out. Let go of any attachments to a particular outcome during Taurus season. Clinging to the things that we can’t control only leads to self-imposed suffering. Life—and Taurus season 2022—is way too short for that!
