The Grounding Antidote of Taurus

The sun sweeping into Taurus is ever the grounding antidote to the Aries firestorm. We needed the Ram's chutzpah and vim to put a rocket beneath us, drying our tears and heating us back up after nearly drowning in Pisces eclipse season. And then as the weeks rolled by in a blur of conflicting retrogrades and imperatives, quicksand and breakthroughs, I have been craving the Venusian vibes and balm for the soul that our little bull brings.

It is time to make your welcome return to verdant Taurean meadows and the hallowed realm of the sensualist; to eat, drink and make merry, to have and to hold, to dance and to swoon as the band strikes up once more, to sprawl in the everlovin' arms of Mama Nature and drink in everything your felt senses have to offer. The light changes and the birdsong too when we hear the thunder of bullish hooves as the stars remind us once more of all we have been given here on earth.

Tis time to worship in her many temples.

Here may we rest, even if just for a moment (or a month), a long way from keyboards and smart phones and work and traffic and schedules and clutter and stuff and nonsense and noise. It is time to ground and get still and to revel in earthly delights.

Your best wisdom is always attained through the realm of sensuality so treat your good self, bringing your spirit back into your body. Listen to the whisper of your felt senses and indulge their earthy magic. Bow low to the bounty on offer and balm your soul.
