The Velvet Reboot: Taurus Season Sign-by-Sign
We’re emerging from the fire tunnel of Aries Season and back-to-back eclipses, blinking into the light while the astro weather shifts gears. With most planets now out of retrograde and changing signs like they’re starring in a makeover montage, the energy pivots from crisis to recalibration — less sprinting into the void, or a marathon through a storm and more like seeing what (if anything) is left, what can we tangibly pick up and dust off and upcycle into crafting a life that actually fits.
Eclipses are like lightning bolts igniting forest fires. It’s a sudden and quite violent rip into the stability of our systems. The same lightning bolt that brings down our Tower in tarot. It’s an energy that cannot be anticipated and that sucks balls (and not in a good way), but it carries with it a potent medicine of renewal. What’s burning was no longer meant for this world, and like with forest fires and certain species of pyrophytic plants – the destruction and heat of the flames are essential for their seeds to sprout.
And what better time to start patiently nurturing the seeds that are ready to sprout than Taurus Season.
The grounding. The reckoning. Taurus doesn’t rush. It lingers. It luxuriates. But don’t confuse that for laziness — this is power in pause form. This is where you remember that wealth is not just what you earn, it’s what you keep, what you feel safe holding, and what you bless with intention.
But before you fall asleep, stretched deliciously on that ivy covered Empress throne, we’ve got a few cosmic curveballs to dance with. Taurus Season opens with a T-square - a ripping type of tension between your desires, your resources, and your role in the wider world. Mars in Leo wants you to shine, invest, perform. Pluto in Aquarius raises an eyebrow and whispers, “To what end?” And the Taurus Sun — steady, embodied, deeply sensual — tries to keep you from spinning out. The lesson?
You don’t need to spend to be seen. You don’t need to prove your worth by burning out or buying in. You need to anchor.
As the weeks unfold, the skies hand you both a mirror and a megaphone. Venus and Neptune link up in Aries and blur the line between intuition and illusion — you may look like a glowing oracle, but be wary of glamoured lovers or financial fog. Pluto’s retrograde presses on your social scene, asking who’s actually rooting for you. Mercury moves through Taurus like a slow sip of something strong, encouraging you to speak from embodied truth — especially when tensions rise mid-month. And then, the finale: Uranus Cazimi. A download. A disruption. Something cracks open in your value system, and suddenly, you know: you’re not chasing abundance — you’re becoming it.
Boy, am I fucking ready! Are you? Let’s zoom in now on your corner of the zodiac garden.
🔥♈️💪
Aries Sun & Rising
Welcome to your Taurus Season glow-up slash money crisis, Aries. The spotlight is beaming directly onto your 2nd House — money, worth, value, survival — aka the part of the chart where capitalism tries to break you and Taurus gently reminds you that wealth isn’t just numbers, it’s nervous system safety and the scent of your favorite bread.
💥 On April 20, Taurus season begins and immediately slaps you into a cosmic budgeting workshop with a side of existential dread. The Sun triggers a tense T-square with Mars in Leo (5th house) and Pluto in Aquarius (11th house). Mars in Leo is screaming “Treat yourself! Buy the shiny thing! Make a dramatic investment in your weird little dream!” Meanwhile, Pluto is side-eyeing all of it from your social sector, muttering, “But is this aligned with your soul’s actual purpose or are you just cosplaying abundance?”
✨ Then comes May 2, when Venus conjuncts Neptune in Aries in your 1st House. Your aura? Glowing. Your selfies? Art. Your ability to mistake a spiritual test for a soul mate? Also off the charts. It’s giving siren song. Beautiful, slightly delusional, and possibly charging your credit card.
🔥 Things heat up on May 4, when Pluto stations retrograde. This pulls your focus inward around collective roles and power dynamics in your social sphere. Who are you trying to impress? Why are you letting others define your value?
🌕 The Scorpio Full Moon on May 12 lights up your 8th House — shared resources, sex, shadow work, and debt (emotional or financial). This is your “wake up in the middle of the night realizing you’ve been undercharging and overgiving” moon. Set something down. Get something back.
🗣 Mercury enters Taurus on May 10, then hits Pluto on May 12 and Mars on May 17, so yeah — your mouth might cash checks your nervous system can’t cover. Use your words to build value, not burn bridges unless they’re really blocking your bag.
⚡ Finally, the Uranus Cazimi on May 17 is your divine download day. Expect breakthroughs around money, values, body image, or self-worth. You might get a wild new idea that changes your entire earning model — or realize the thing you thought you had to do for money is no longer it.
🌿 Taurus Season for you is about learning that your worth is not up for negotiation. That you can build a life — body, bank account, and belief system — that actually feels like it loves you back.
It’s time to make your money rituals sacred. Burn a candle. Bless your wallet. Say no to the thing that drains your energy and yes to the nap that recalibrates your nervous system.
