Honoring Taurus Season: A Journey Through Its History
Let's dive into this Earthly temple
Welcome to Taurus Season!
After the fiery ignition of Aries, we will be entering the fertile fields of Taurus—the second sign of the zodiac, ruled by Venus and rooted in Earth—tomorrow.
This is a season of embodiment, of deepening, and of remembering what it means to feel good in your body, in your space, and in your life.
If Aries is the spark, Taurus is the sacred flame we learn to tend.
The History of Taurus in Astrology
In ancient times, the bull was a universal symbol of fertility, strength, and divine power.
In Mesopotamian mythology, Taurus was associated with the Bull of Heaven sent by the goddess Ishtar. In Egyptian lore, the Apis bull was worshipped as an embodiment of Ptah and Osiris—gods of creation and rebirth.
And in the Greek tradition, Zeus transforms into a bull to seduce Europa, linking Taurus to themes of sensuality, beauty, and desire.
Taurus, ruled by Venus, is the lover, the artist, the steward of the Earth. This sign teaches us to slow down, to appreciate the pleasures of the present moment, and to cultivate a life rooted in self-worth and stability.
Taurus Symbolism and Astrological Significance
Taurus rules the second house of values, possessions, and self-esteem. During this season, we're invited to assess what we truly treasure—not just materially, but emotionally and spiritually.
What do you give your energy to?
Where are you craving more safety and security?
What does enough feel like to you?
This is an ideal time to nurture your connection to the physical world: to beautify your home, recommit to self-care rituals, tend to your finances, and anchor your dreams into something tangible.
Taurus is also a fixed sign, meaning it helps us sustain energy and commitments, but can also be prone to stubbornness or resistance to change.
This is where the growth lies—finding balance between consistency and flexibility, indulgence and discipline, pleasure and purpose.
Taurus season reminds us that slowness is sacred. The nervous system longs for grounding. The body craves nourishment. The spirit desires peace.
You might find yourself pulled toward spending more time in nature or gardening, cooking soul-warming meals, creating art, music, or beauty, revisiting your values or long-term goals, sensual pleasures and somatic healing, money mindset shifts and security rituals.
As a Taurus moon (and someone with a night chart), I know this energy all too well. It is about romanticizing your life, while also having your feet on the ground. Stimulate your senses and make the best out of every situation by treating it like magick.
Embace the beauty of being a human being.
Taurus teaches us that we are allowed to rest. To receive. To revel in the simple magick of being alive.
May this season bring you back to the beauty of being.
