THE COSMIC THREAD

Taurus Season

April 19 - May 20
Theme: Pleasure

Taurus season arrives with a softened pace, where life is no longer rushed but savoured. This is the time to slow down, linger in moments of beauty, move with intention, and give form to the fire that has only just begun to burn.

 

Taurus invites us to live in rhythm with the natural world, to find steadiness in routine and beauty in simplicity. To rest when you're tired and eat when you're hungry. To honour the sensual language of your body.

"find steadiness in routine and beauty in simplicity."

Let your days be shaped by what grounds you: textures that soothe, meals that nourish, voices that calm, and practices that tether you gently to the now. This season, find serenity or even a flicker of peace and keep returning to it like a promise, a practice.


Taurus reminds us that progress need not be hurried. There is wisdom in persistence, power in patience, and quiet magic in consistency. For Taurus, accuracy matters more than speed. Integrity is more than appearance. This is the season of cultivating what truly works, of finding strength in structure that supports your becoming.

"wisdom in persistence, power in patience."

To live in the spirit of Taurus is to know that security isn’t the absence of change but the presence of trust. Familiarity must not replace intention. Foundations are meant to support growth, not prevent it. 

 

This season wants us to spend our time and energy like the precious resources they are investing in what is steady, meaningful, and built to last. Because Taurus ensures that none of it is all for nothing.

"security isn’t the absence of change but the presence of trust."

TAURUS SEASON & YOU

SELF CARE FOR
TAURUS SEASON

Let this be a season of steadiness. Ground yourself in rhythm and ritual, returning to the body as your truest home. 

 

"Breathe deeper. Move slower. Taste more." 

 

Taurus invites you to tend to your senses, to honour what is simple and honest. Pleasure is a form of presence. Invest in what endures. Let your daily choices reflect your self- worth. You are not behind. There is no race. There is only the next right step and the strength it takes to take it.

MOON MOMENTS:

New Moon in Taurus – 28 APR 5:31 AM AEST

 

The Taurus New Moon invites us to return to the body, to honour our senses, and to root our desires in something lasting. It is a time to bring form to the fire with tenderness, self-worth, and the quiet persistence to keep going.

 

Full Moon in Scorpio – 13 May 2:56 AM AEST

 

The Scorpio Full Moon invites us to sit with what’s tender. To release emotional residue, soften around scarcity, and create space for what hurts to be acknowledged and held. This is a time for facing what’s real with maturity, not avoidance.

PLANETARY MOMENTS:

Venus enters Aries - 01 May

 

Love gets bold, direct, and unapologetic. Venus in Aries doesn’t wait; it pursues. This transit ignites desires and strips away pretence, favouring passion over perfection. Expect romance to feel more impulsive, fiery, and headfirst. We’re learning to lead with the heart, even if it means risking a little ego.

 

Pluto stations retrograde -05 May.

 

The undercurrents shift. When Pluto turns inward, we’re called to do the same, facing what is buried, what has been denied, and what quietly holds power over us.

 

Mercury enters Taurus – 10 May.

 

As Mercury moves through Taurus, communication becomes deliberate, grounded, and practical. It’s a time to speak with purpose. Let your mind linger on what truly matters.
