Dropping Into a Very Special Taurus Season in 2024, Year of the Wood Dragon.

The sun leaving Aries and landing in verdant and lush Venus-ruled Taurus is truly a healing balm for our souls, soothing the aridness of so much Aries action over the past weeks.  

And it just so happens that this is occurring at the exact same time ruler of Taurus, Venus, crosses paths with Mercury retrograde in Aries and we have the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus.

Jupiter and Uranus only come together every 14 years or so, and in Taurus, this expansive alignment only happens about every 80 years.  This is big - if you're feeling the symptoms of "ascension flu" this week, I wouldn't be surprised.  But more on this alignment tomorrow - the day it is exact.

Today let's talk about what's on today - sun into Taurus as Venus aligns with Mercury retrograde in Aries.

This is a "one hit wonder," unlike Mercury's multiple alignments with both Chiron and the north node while retrograde, but it's potent, because wherever Venus is, it is bringing blessings, and this is all about your values and most of all, self-value, and creating a new sense of self and identity around an upleveled sense of self worth.

Taurus is the Venus-ruled sign of earthly abundance and resources.  It's about security through material possessions and enjoying life through the five senses, beauty, pleasure, and sensuality.  I always am reminded of Ferdinand the bull.  Taurus is the "stop and smell the roses" sign.

We've had so much going on in Aries over the past month preparing us for a game-changing Taurus season.  This is all part of 2024 as an "8" year and the year of the Wood Dragon.  This is about reclaiming your power to step into more abundance.  It's about boldly and confidently going after what you want.  If the personal power and confidence aren't in place, it's going to challenging to actualize what's on offer this year.  It's also a year where you need to focus on your inner security and cultivating your inner sense of peace.  Grounding in nature is a perfect choice for balancing this energy.

As we move into Taurus season there's just one catch.  You might not really get to slow down and savor the inviting Taurean green rolling hills that are calling until after the May 7th (stabilizing) Taurus new moon.

That's because right as the sun lands in Taurus, we are arriving at the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, then sun squaring Pluto in Aquarius, then rolling right into the Scorpio full moon and Mercury stationing direct - all of which are big deals energetically.

After the 25th, things will begin to fall together (and smooth out!) as Venus lands in Taurus, Mars lands in Aries, and then we arrive at our official new beginning in Taurus - the Taurus new moon on May 7th.  And that lunation is set to be extra healing because it's the same day Mercury will make its third and final aspect to Chiron, wrapping up our healing journey that's been on in Aries, sign of self, since equinox (March 20th).

This healing journey since equinox has really centered on creating a new relationship to ourselves by clearing out the limiting beliefs of unlovable, not valuable, not worthy, and not good enough, so we can step into our true authenticity and shine, shine, shine, stepping into the new cycle that's beginning now.

It may have shown up first around the eclipse portal through relationship issues, but it's really about your relationship to yourself and how that determines not just the nature of how you relate to others and how they relate to you, but your relationship to everything in life - especially those Venus-ruled areas of love and abundance.

The really good news is, if you are struggling with this, I have a blueprint for getting you from where you are now to where you want to be, and I'd love to share it with you. 

If this sounds good to you, let's chat!  I have 3 spots available next week.  If you want one of them, just CLICK HERE to message me and we'll find a time that works for both of us to hop on a call.
