Venus in Taurus

5.5.21 – Take a relaxing break today with a trine from Venus in Taurus to Pluto

Venus in its own sign of Taurus is a delicious gift of comfort and peaceful equanimity, and we get to enjoy it for another few days.  Today and tomorrow, Venus will form a harmonious trine to Pluto, planet of depth and intensity.  Venus/Pluto aspects are usually pretty uncomfortable, since Pluto is all about forcing us beyond our comfort zone and encouraging us to let go of the dead stuff we carry around with us, especially psychological detritus to which we are particularly attached.  But the […]

4.22.21 – Finding the peaceful place in the midst of change

The conjunction of Venus in Taurus to Uranus that I wrote about yesterday culminates this evening EDT/April 23 at 1 am GMT.  Venus transits are typically like a soft breeze, they are brief and we may hardly notice them, but they can have a lasting impact.  In Taurus, Venus brings its aesthetic sense and urge for peaceful equanimity into the physical realm -this is an earthy combination that seeks comfort of the senses from delicious foods and cozy fabrics, hugs and the luxury of time […]

4.21.21 – Everything begins with the center under the Venus Uranus conjunction in Taurus

art by Amanda Clark

Today brings an interesting combination of planetary energies.  Venus is at home in Taurus, helping us to ground and center as we settle into a comfortable space of equanimity.  Venus is approaching a conjunction to Uranus, the planet of disruption and revolutionary new ideas – not an influence which is very conducive to a stable sense of place!  Venus/Uranus combinations interrupt communication between individuals and can bring out difficulties in personal connections. At the same time, the Moon is in Leo, calling on us […]

4.14.21 – The world of the senses emerges under Venus in Taurus

Venus is well known for its association with love and beauty, but also governs the manner in which we view our life – our aesthetics, our self-esteem and, our ability to create resources out of the raw material of our day to day existence. Venus leaves fiery Aries for Taurus today, one of the signs of its domicile where Venus is able to exert her influence more directly and foster greater peace and harmony.  In Libra, the other Venus-ruled sign, we focus more on the […]

Planetary news this week: Astrological forecast for May 13-20, 2019

Video forecast hereThis week offers some respite from the planetary intensity we’ve been seeing lately.  Between May 11th and the 15th, we see only mild and pleasant planetary alignments that offer support and help us to regain our balance if we’re feeling out of sorts.

We do see two planets changing signs on the 15th:  Venus will move from fiery Aries to stable Taurus. Venus is quite happy there as the peaceful nature of Taurus supports the Venusian urge to form relationships and experience more beauty and equanimity […]

Moving from Aries to Taurus

Mars in TaurusEach sign reacts to and improves on the sign that immediately precedes it, so when a planet like Mars moves from its own sign of Aries, which is courageous and vibrant but can also be impetuous and thoughtless, there is a shift into the more grounded stability of the Taurus influence.  Robert Wilkinson points this out in his post on Mars in Taurus today:

Mars now activates the stabilization of our affairs wherever we have Taurus in our birth chart. Mars in Taurus can be stubborn in doing things […]
