Shadow Aspects of Taurus Season to Transmute:
Being aware of the shadow side of a sign or season allows you grow through it with greater love, understanding and clarity on how its energies may show up in you! This clear knowing then gives you the ability to work with and transmute darker more subconscious energies into energies that you can maximize , alchemize and take advantage of for the highest good of all.

• As a fixed sign, use this time to check in with your values, energy, feelings, opinions and habits. Look at areas of your life, body, mind, that feel too fixed- stiff or rigid. Explore your attachments and the hard edges in your life- then ask yourself where and how you can invite more light, softness, and love in! 🌸
  One way you can do this is by tapping into the soft, feminine and receptive nature of this sign and season and stay open and curious in your discovery! Explore new ways of thinking, being, doing. Spice up your routine, try new things, get up, run, dance around, shake, scream, mooooo, surprise yourself, embrace change, and be open to flow and spontaneity! And lastly, remember anything that you are not changing, you are choosing!
• ​Building off of this, remember that life is the fun and carefully crafted balance of flow and planning and it is okay and healthy to readjust, reflect and realign as many times as you need! Find comfort in the chaos, and create a sacred and clear space for you to rest until you discover your truths again 😉 trust that harnessing and nurturing your clear core (heart chakra-and what makes you feel good/connected) reinforcing your strong base (root chakra and what makes you feel grounded and secure) and your voice or potential to create (throat chakra) will allow you to spring forward and show up in the world knowingly, lovingly and peacefully! After all, when you know you- everything flows easier around you.
• Lastly, as a sign represented by a bull, which has been traditionally used throughout humanity for many hard and laborious tasks, be careful of overworking or pushing too hard! In a masculine society, practice the fine feminine art of tuning into your body’s energy, not the expectations of your mind or others when setting the pace of things. Taking the time to slow down and understand where your drive, force, triggers, reactions and programming comes from during this time will allow you to practice greater awareness and love in your life instead of continuing forward as you always have done, blindly or loyally devoted to history, crushed by societal pressures, squeezed by internal expectations, or pushing and forcing your way through life. Realize that you deserve the support, love, self-trust, and time that comes with this process and that you deserve enjoying the way there too!

Light Aspects of Taurus Season to Integrate:
The light is the energy that reveals and heals. It clears, creates and channels new ways of being, loving and doing. It shows you compassion and how to integrate the powers of the light with patience and clarity- which helps us to create a life and body that is brighter, clearer and more loving in all aspects and dimensions.

​

• As a season ruled by Earth, spend plenty of time enjoying spring awakening all around you and within you! Soak up the sunshine and connect your bare feet to the ground! Bare your breasts, sun your perineum. 😉 After spending so much time cooped up and still during the winter- now is the time to stretch your wings, and feel all the energies around you and within you grow, play, shift, expand, and guide you to higher places! The more you prioritize time with Mother Nature, and your body, the more balance and strength you’ll have to ground your dreams and approach any fears or triggers you may run into with a relaxed being, clear vision + an open heart!
• As a sign and season ruled by Venus, the planet of love, take the time to love on and romanticize your life! Empower yourself and your body with new, natural habits and practices like tea time, forest bathing, and more. Treat yourself a god, goddess, lover, friend, child, and allow yourself to truly blossom in the waters of your own devotion. Ask yourself, how do you best connect to the feminine waters of the earth, her flowers and her rhythms? How can you embody what it means to be the world’s best lover and support and nurture your own growth? 🌸
• Finally, with the combination of earth, the feminine, the bull, and Venus at play this season- Find the balance of following your natural cycles while channeling your deep drive. After all, Taureans hate being rushed, they're in it for the long haul, and they know that taking the time to be clear to create the things they want matters! With that, be sure to stand up for yourself in this process with all your heart and faith- trust that you know yourself and your path best! Nurture and explore yourself and your energy through music, dance, aromatherapy, oil massages and whatever else calls out for you during this time. Trust that this is the season to move forward with small thoughtful and knowing actions led by your heart and then your well taken care of body. 😉 After all, giving yourself and others time, whether it be the time to think, to try, to breathe, invites a grace and freedom in that births more openness, space, perspective, and peace into this world. And since we are all spirits in human bodies, it is important we prioritize this divine vessel and the vessels of one another by giving one another the time, patience and devotion to bloom into our highest expressions and selves.

Additional Tips and Tricks to Maximize on the Energies of Taurus Season Around and Within You:

1. As an Earth sign ruled by Venus, ​spend time communicating with nature and your body as this is a brilliant time of awakening. You can explore this sensually and body driven time to discover, connect and strengthen your own extra sensory perceptions such as clairvoyance, claireaudience, reiki and more! Simply open yourself up and invite in warm and loving energies to fill your your aura, body and space. Then allow yourself the freedom, safety and encouragement to discover the wild, magical unknown of the wild feminine within and around you. Spend time meditating with a plant or a tree see messages come through and integrate the takeaways! Sing, create, dance and channel all the different spaces and dimensions available to you here now. Ask questions and be patient as the answers emerge. Trust and allow yourself to imagine, wonder, dream, trust. We have so much natural wisdom to learn from Mama nature, Venus, the plants, our bodies- if only we slow down enough to listen.
2. Explore plant medicine. Learn more about your local plants, their names, benefits, cycles. Integrate new plants into your life by planting seeds (figuratively/literally), treat yourself to a cutie new potted plant, drink tea, try new herbs, smoke weed, etc. Plants vibrate at the same level and frequency of the heart chakra (which is represented by the color green). As such, allow their energies to enter you and invite in more light, laughter, love, and growth within you!
3. Communicate with animals. The more you work with them- the more the telepathy and communication improves and strengthens. Notice what animals pop into your daily life. Be curious and ask what messages they may be carrying to you or showing you. Explore their stories, archetypes, and traits! After all, no one is in the same exact spot as you are here now, and Mother Nature is revealing or reflecting that energy to you specifically- be wise enough to ask why and receive her divine and knowing wisdom that guides us and supports us all in special, magical, and metaphorical ways, always.
4. With Earth ruling Taurus season, I hope you also remember to honor, appreciate and love her harder in all her waves, cycles and periods. I hope you uncover new ways to support and connect with Mother Nature, your community, yourself! Whether it’s shopping local or organic when possible, examining the products you use (what exactly is in them and where do they come from?) and the places you shop (what is their packaging like/what are their business practices and values?)- I hope you see the magic of how your daily choices, practices, habits create and affect the bigger picture!🦋

Wishing you a deeply nourishing time of reconnecting with yourself, Mother Nature, and your wildest dreams! ✨
​For the highest good of you and ultimately therefore- the highest good of all
