The Taurus Portal
Art by @mr.babies
Taurus season arrives this transformational year as a portal that will carry us through eclipses, retrogrades and change writ large. Though the lair of the little bull is renowned for its feet on the ground fixed nature, myriad factors conspire to make this Taurean jaunt unlike any other. A tale told in two parts as its mirror held up to us grants passage through rampant revolution.
Its ruler Venus, delighting in Pisces deep waters, is swimming through the magical currents of Jupiter and Neptune for the first half of this Taurean adventure. Our senses and sensitivities are heightened as is our capacity to weave enchanting possibility through the torrid straits of eclipsia. Lady Loves move into Aries in May will conjure distinctly different passions and purpose as we approach the Scorp full moon eclipsing.
Urania and the North Node, both firmly ensconced in Taurus, will ensure that the wake up calls arrive thick and fast. Their purpose, as ever, is to set us each on a path beyond our histories, future facing and aligned to the call of these burning times. Combined with the depth reset and regeneration inherent in this eclipse series, we will be irrevocably changed by this passage.
Taurus calls us deeply into the solid ground of our bodies and our life on earth, as part of the natural world. Our fleshy vessels carry the imprint of all that has ever touched us, trauma and triumph alike. This season is designed to align us to its truths and terroir, beyond the abandonment demanded by the old world. Well starred for bodywork that shifts deeply ingrained patterning, mends damaged circuitry and balms the spirit trapped in scar tissue.
Taurus is nothing if not persistent. Their fixed nature holds us firmly in this new season and to its demands. Nourishment is their love language, possessing an inherent mainline to the balm of beauty and the pleasure principle. Patience bides their time, and ours, so that change sticks even if at first we are averse and craving only the comfort of what we know.
Strength is salvation in troubling times. Taurus knows we are stronger than we think and here by request, to claim our golden ticket to ride.
