Sheen Astrology: Taurus SZN Essentials April 20 – May 20

It’s Taurus Season and your inner bull is ripe for bullishness and bullsh-t. While earthy Taurean can be stupidly stubborn, they are also carnal and comfy. When a Taurus chooses to be obstinate then their deepest desires become obsolete. Choose contentment over that hidden resentment you pretend doesn’t exist. Beware of being covetous, focus on your own possessions. When the sun is in this Venus ruled sign, the energy is hungry for food and finances, tap in with your lovey-dovey, lushness. Asé.

Taurus are at home in the Second House of Possessions, in here the people, places and properties that are the MVP’s in our experience is what matters. Where the Second house is and what sign it’s in within our natal charts, illustrates how you feel and treat money and stability. What is blocking or building the growth of what you desire to possess?

Taurus’ major arcana in Tarot is the Hierophant card, energizing wisdom and traditions. Using intelligence gained over time, this is a good season to tap into the traditions you may be rooted to and create new ones. Add value to your life and consider observing your conformities. Which ones should you keep or delete?

Lunar Cycles 

Moons in Taurus are powerful times to visualize manifesting avalanches of abundance and to make love to yourself, your environment and your lover. On April 27^th, spend some time with the intensified New Moon in Taurus energy and luxuriate in your desires. Don’t rush, just relax.   

There’s a potent Full Moon in Scorpio on May 12^th. The only difference between this and every moon in Scorpio, is the moon’s fullness and this energy is highly transformational and is a brilliant time for intuition and liberation. Your inner menace may make an appearance if any annoyances happen, remembering your New Moon in Taurus visuals can help you refocus. 

Active Retrogrades

Retrogrades (Rx) are celestial events that force the collective to revisit and renovate cycles to improve upon parts of their lives that need attention. 

Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius (May 4^th – Oct 14^th), lasts for six months and is the longest retrograde of all the planets. Expect and don’t evade upraised intuition. Transformative, regenerative watery Pluto within aloof, rebellious airy Aquarius feels like things coming to the surface with an intense desire to run into them versus from them. You can choose to heal and release or cling to the cycle and feel Pluto (Rx) attempt to do the same thing next year—transform or remain tethered?

Vital Transits

Mercury and Venus are back and forth in Pisces and Aries due to their retrogrades. 

Venus back in Pisces (March 27^th – April 30^th) for another chance at romanticizing your life, dreams, and relationships.

Mercury in Taurus (May 10^th – June 8^th) which is the one time of year Taurus’ and their stubborn zodiac mates may take a more grounded and flexible approach with thought and communication and choosing real results with serenity versus rigidity. 

Mars in Leo (April 18^th – June 17^th) confidence and courage are orgasmic at this time, get into them. Be on the lookout for the demonstrative and dramatic.

For the next 7 months, the collective will see and feel what’s next with Neptune in Aries before the official long-term transit commences in 2026. Neptune is spiritual and Aries is actionable, together dreams are actualized, from personal to global. Boundaries will be pushed to ensure the people get what they want. 

Jupiter in Gemini (25 May 2024 – 9 June 2025) Jupiter rules philosophy and fortune, while Gemini loves socializing and mischievousness. Curiosities on all things are running rampant; information harvesting is huge. Delightfully distract yourself when necessary.

They excavate where you have been and where you are going.”— (Goode, 2024, p. 45, 46). Part of acting and doing the work is mental. North Node in Pisces expands your imagination for deeper dreams and sweeter, flourishing romances. Open your spirit and delve into your vision in all directions—north, south, east, and west. Choose softness and fluidity. Remember, it’s good to sink your hands in, feel the soil, and get a little dirty sometimes.
