Taurus Season 2020: What You Need To Know
On Sunday, April 19, 2020, at 10:45 A.M. EST, the Sun will begin its four-week transit through Taurus, officially kicking off this year’s season of Bull.
With the Sun now in the second sign of Taurus until May, the universe is inviting you to slow down and get grounded, especially after all the “go go go” brought up by Aries Season.
If the past four weeks have been anything but calm, the Sun in Aries likely had something to do with it.
Since March 19, the Aries Sun has brought new cycles, patterns, and timelines to your everyday life, many tied to the planets Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn — the big 3 for 2020.
After intense conjunctions between Mars and Saturn in progressive Aquarius in March and another one between Jupiter and Pluto on April 4, it’s safe to say that Aries Season 2020 was unlike anything you’ve ever seen (or seen in a very long time).
Yet, like all things in life, this season of Fire must come to an end. On Sunday, April 19, 2020, at 10:45 A.M. EST, the Sun will begin its four-week transit through Taurus, officially kicking off this year’s season of Bull.
In astrology, where the Sun is in your transit chart determines your current focus and energetic vibration. It represents your personality and current state of being.
With the Sun now in the second sign of Taurus until May, the universe is inviting you to slow down and get grounded, especially after all the “go go go” brought up by Aries Season.
During this season, it is best to secure a solid routine you can rely on. Perhaps it’s time to start your mornings with yoga or complete your day with meditation, whatever is necessary for you to achieve the growth this solar cycle can bring, especially to your self-worth, finances, and investment portfolios.
One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that Taurus thrives in environments that nurture patience over procrastination, and truth over speed.
You may want to rush, skip steps, and just hop back into the immediate flow of things, but that would be unwise. The energy of Taurus favors precision and systemization. There is no need to force or rush now. Take your time.
Taurus Season By the Transits
If I could sum up Taurus Season in one word, it would be BUSY. From two Mercury transits; Mars entering the last sign of its transit in Pisces before it enters Aries until January 2021; Pluto, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn stationing retrograde (almost all at the same time), and the intense Taurus New Moon and Scorpio Full moon, this season will be anything but boring.
But even underneath so much transition is perfect peace, perfect stillness, and perfect love. Luckily for you, this is the best season to lock in and tap into it. Here are a few of the major transits that will be occurring this month. For a complete play-by-play of each planetary transit, aspect, and major lunation cycle Become a member and get access to the latest podcasts, videos, readings, rituals, and guides.
Sun and Uranus Conjunct: On April 26, at 5:01 AM, theSun will conjunct Uranus at exactly 6 Taurus. This aspect is the conception point for significant changes to our global and individual economies. A new paradigm of abundance consciousness is being born.
This conjunction also points to new streams of passive income and investments. Society as a whole is more interested and aware of financial literacy. A rise in practical, “necessity-based” topics like accounting, stocks, and trading will become more popular.
I also feel strongly about this energy leading to innovations in the hospitality and food & beverage industries, as Taurus rules food/comfort and Uranus rules progress.
Taurus New Moon: On April 22, the Taurus New Moon highlights an inner drive for security and comfort. It stabilizes the truth-seeking ideas and ambitions of Aries Season and encourages you to come to terms with the infinite abundance available to you, laying the groundwork for the next six months.
Mercury enters Taurus: On April 27, Mercury leaves fiery Aries and joins the Sun in strong-willed Taurus. This shift inevitably brings a reality check. Any impulsive thoughts, get rich quick schemes, and unrealistic expectations will get weeded out now. This brings your attention to the core principles of your life. Keyword: what actually matters and how can you best sustain this moving forward?
Scorpio Full Moon: On May 7, the Sun in Taurus will oppose the Scorpio Moon, creating the cosmic event known as the “Full Moon.” This year’s Scorpio Full Moon brings realization to the insecurities and inner blockages that slowly corrode and cause an imbalance in your production/energy centers. It brings awareness to the choices, relationships, beliefs, habits, and subconscious behaviors that give you life and what sucks that life away.
Annual Retrograde Season: Every year the outer planets station retrograde. This year, during Taurus Season, Pluto will station retrograde in Capricorn on April 25, Saturn will station retrograde in Aquarius on May 11, and Jupiter will station retrograde in Capricorn on May 14. This influx of retrograde energy brings deep reflection to the subtle external influences penetrating your energetic sphere.
With Jupiter and Pluto creating intense conjunctions twice more this year, pay close attention to the messages and patterns they create in your chart. It may be helpful to research and study the influence of Jupiter and Pluto at the time you were born. For example, what major generational themes were unfolding at this time, and how do you see them playing out (or integrated) into the current energy output today?
Venus Retrograde in Gemini: With Venus stationing retrograde for the first time since October 2018, Venus’ retrograde at exactly Gemini on May 13 encourages you to relinquish some of the stubbornness of Taurus Season and incorporate more curiosity and genuine interest in your relationships.
In regards to Taurus Season, you may realize that you and your partner have nothing in common, nothing. You may realize that you were together out of convenience. Or you may realize that you share more than you know, and this retrograde season brings that back to your awareness so you can reconnect to this excitement moving forward.

Full Moon in Scorpio - Horoscopes + Ritual
When associated with the Moon, Scorpio takes on a deeper emotional quality. It’s fixed water energy uncovers our innermost deep-seated truths. We may crave more intimacy and transparency. We may fall victim to insecurity which births secrecy and malice. Emotions fluctuate between excessive and zen. But within it all, the Moon and Scorpio become one.
Happy Scorpio Full Moon, My love! Get ready for a plunge!!
The history of Scorpio invokes the mythologies of death, mysticism, and psychology. Scorpio in one breath can accomplish what all the other signs combined cannot. However, this great strength comes at a great price. Scorpio’s Plutonian force is summoned from the depths of sorrow, misfortune, and spiritual awakening. In order for Scorpio to find its way through the underworld, it must first accept and channel the source and root cause of its feeling. Scorpio has to go where all the others fear. Scorpio is the sea which consumes the abyss of sacred knowledge and life experience. It is the well of life and death.
When associated with the Moon, Scorpio takes on a deeper emotional quality. It’s fixed water energy uncovers our innermost deep-seated truths. We may crave more intimacy and transparency. We may fall victim to insecurity which births secrecy and malice. Emotions fluctuate between excessive and zen. But within it all, the Moon and Scorpio become one. Scorpio takes on the Moon’s fluidity and empathy for others, and together they accomplish powerful things.
Today’s Full Moon at 5:12 PM EST invokes the deepest parts of Scorpio. The moon will reach its fullness at 27’38°. This energy pulls us under, forces us to face the parts of our lives and selves that must die and be born again. Something that we least expect rocks us during the waning period of the Full moon (4-12 days after the full moon) . During this period, we should expect big emotions, ranging from the highest joys to the lowest of sorrows. But what we shouldn’t expect and speculate is how this will affect us, what comes next, why it happened, or what it means. Instead of rationalizing our emotions, we must FEEL them.
The Full Moon should not be misjudged as Many of us have created personalities and stereotypes about how we should and will respond to certain situations, especially negative ones, but this only cuts us off from the present. Scorpio is fixed water, and we all know how unpredictable water is. This energy is slow moving and mysterious — there’s no escaping this one. We can’t out read it, smoke it, sex it, sleep it, eat it, whatever we are facing, we have to accept that it just is. Because when we lean into this energy, when we fall to our knees and bow, it SHIFTS!
But what we have to learn as creators is that this isn’t a magic trick; manifestation is not a calculated science. Just because we say it once or twice doesn’t make it fact. We have to feel this out, ride whatever wave we are on, and learn from it the best way we can.
Major themes For the 2019 Full Moon in Scorpio:
A time of deep sexuality and desire for intimacy. Individuals may be engaging in lustful, passionate sex.
A time to have close intimate gatherings with those you deeply trust and feel safe with.
A time to perform spiritual rites of passage around death and living.
A time of intensity and spoken and unspoken emotion.
A time of possessiveness; a need to demonstrate or release control.
A time to evaluate and access joint finances and ventures.

A ritual for the 2019 Full Moon in Scorpio
A ritual for this moon is submerging in water. Go to a pool, a pond, the ocean, the bathtub, a warm shower — however you can submerge or shower your body with moving water. Before you submerge imagine that you are covered in your feelings; imagine that they were your skin. When you submerge your body, imagine that you are washing it all away, and when you rise you are clear, pure, washed free of all that you are carrying.
No matter what your belief system is, there is healing powers in the holiness of water. Today’s energy invites us to open to the purification of water and emotion. It asks us to let something go for good this time. It reminds us that there is no need to repeat the same dying pattern. We can choose to live life again.

May, the month of flowers, mothers, and cinco de mayo is known for its beauty and showering of love. According to multiple sources, the month of May got its name from the Greek Goddess Maia, the Goddess of Fertility. In the Gregorian and Julian Calendar, May is the 5th month of the year.
May, the month of flowers, mothers, and cinco de mayo is known for its beauty and showering of love. According to multiple sources, the month of May got its name from the Greek Goddess Maia, the Goddess of Fertility. In the Gregorian and Julian Calendar, May is the 5th month of the year.
Each month carries a numerical essence based on the present calendar year. For 2019, May carries the numerical essence of eight. In traditional numerology, the number eight symbolizes power, authority, management, wealth, debt, karma, and death.
May’s eight essence inspires creative power. Areas that influence business, legacy, self-improvement, money, and shared resources are highlighted. With Saturn, Pluto, and Jupiter retrograde until late summer and early fall, our efforts are more focused and intentional. Last month left us inquisitive and anxious for answers. This month gives us the confidence (and hard knocks) we need to take the steps towards a new enterprise, relationship, or self-improvement project. Eight’s karmic vibration can sometimes bring negative encounters with the law. Double check before you sign any contract, or commit to a high-risk decision.
May begins with a powerful New Moon in Taurus on Saturday May 6th. The New Moon in Taurus brings energies of perseverance and self-sufficiency. Before you take on any large investment, get a clear appraisal of your personal finances, debts, and assets. If you want to go to a new level, you have to know what you’re working with.
Traditional routes may be more promising this month, especially with the Sun still in Taurus until May 21. Even if you are feeling restless, and somewhat bored, this transit will inspire you to set aside your personal emotions and stick it out. Risk is important for growth, but this month depends on practicality. If you want to move forward, you have to be realistic about what you can actually accomplish in the timeframe that you need.
In the beginning of the month relationships continue to explore the medium between independence and interdependence. Couples may find themselves more playful, adventurous, and combative. This is because Venus is still in Aries. Venus will remain in Aries until May 15. On May 15, Venus will enter Taurus until June 8. When Venus is in Taurus, relationships become more serious, goal-oriented, committed. Couples may find themselves having serious conversations about the future, budgeting, and asset control. Intimacy also heightens during this transit. Where Aries was passion, flames, and self-focused, Taurus is intentional, observant, and stubborn. Singles may find this period alluring. It’s the perfect time to think about dating someone for the long — short flings won’t last.
April was an intense month communication wise. Mercury spent most of its transit in fiery Aries after a three-month journey through Pisces. This month Mercury is in Aries until May 6. This transit emphasizes our need to take responsibility for the information we process and share. Personal communications project get a green light, and avoided topics can be addressed. When Mercury moves into Taurus on May 6 until May 21, communications will become more focused and goal oriented. Past ideas and information can be put into shape and form; chaos is transmitted. This transit is best used to do tedious desk work. Focusing on one task at a time will guarantee the best results. Be open minded when talking to other people. Closed minds don’t get fed.
Mercury will enter Gemini on May 21. Mercury will be in Gemini until June 4. When Mercury is in Gemini our communications are often scattered. Gemini is traditionally ruled by Mercury. This transit increases mental stimulation, making it difficult to sometimes focus on one specific task. After an intense Mercury in Taurus cycle, Gemini could feel refreshing, almost like a breath of fresh air. This transit is best used as a test trial. Talk to other people, share your work, ask for feedback and consideration.
Mars, the planet of action and vitality has been in Gemini since the last day of March. When Mars is in Gemini, our actions are rich in mind. This is a period that encourages us to think openly and colorfully. We are more expressive about what we are feeling, and we tend to do this in more dramatic and mysterious ways. During this transit it may be difficult to stay focused on what’s right in front of you, especially if you desire to be somewhere else. Actions without commitment won’t last when Mars is in Gemini. The secret to this transit is using the imagination. If you can believe it in your heart and mind, it will be.
When Mars enters Cancer on May 15 until July 1, the next two months will be a period of emotional action. Mars in Cancer invokes us to act from our emotional center, and family influences are heavy. Our desire to do comes from our need to fulfill ourselves, others, the world. During this transit, pay attention to your cravings and late night addictions. This is a water period, we may be more delayed or “slow” in our movements. It may take you longer to do one thing, so plan accordingly. Mars in Cancer is the perfect time to indulge in creative work regarding the arts, music, dance, cooking, body and womb work, sex. It could also be a time where there is more emphasis on family duties, and the mother.
On May 21 when the Sun enters Gemini, we can expect our personalities to shift with the air. Gemini is a mutable air sign. It doesn’t become obsessed or attached to a thought, person, place or thing. This characteristic can be our best friend or worst enemy during this transit. When the Sun is in Gemini, it it is best to use the intellectualism of Gemini to study and empower your goals. Gemini is all about expression. It needs to express and experience all parts of itself, or internally it will die. When we embody the creative attributes of Gemini, we open ourselves to a limitless well of creative knowledge. Gemini has the ability to absorb facts and information like no other sign. Educate yourself on the information you seek, but remember that it’s just as important to share and play.
This month’s lunar cycles consistents of a New Moon in Taurus on May 4, a First Quarter Moon in Leo on May 11, a Full Moon in Scorpio on May 18, and a Last Quarter Moon in Pisces on May 26.

For horoscopes I suggest reading your Rising/Ascendant Sign Reading first. Once you’ve read your Rising reading, read your Sun and then your Moon. Store notes and feeling on each. Once you’ve read them all, try and weave them into a story.
Here’s a simple guide to help you:
The Rising Reading: sets the scene and writes the script. this is what and how you experience.
The Sun Reading: casts the play. this is how others experience and play a role in your show.
The Moon Reading: evaluates the show. this is how you internalize and process what is you are seeing, hearing, and feeling.
