In Taurus, consolidating foundations and enjoying life…
When the Sun transits Taurus (analogous to the Sun transiting the 2nd House), the Sun expresses itself in a grounded, pragmatic way, attached to steady development, perhaps slow, but secure and lasting.
Security, perseverance, and durability matter more than speed and risk-taking; nature awakens and needs to deepen its roots to properly support the season ahead.
This is a period marked by receptivity both to the gentleness and calm of nature and to the warmth of one’s own home, with a distinctly home-loving, comfort-seeking tendency.
These values will be defended tooth and nail, in keeping with one’s natural simplicity and fidelity to what feels authentic.
There is pleasure in working with one’s hands, with patience and endurance, in gardening, and above all in producing quality work, taking pride in one’s achievements and possessions, and in work well done.
Work and finances take on particular importance, often experienced in a very binary way: gains/savings versus purchases/expenses, though more often gains and savings than spending ! 😉 even if you won’t deny yourself a few pleasures…
Everything that allows you to enjoy life, to savour the senses and physical comfort, to enjoy the company of loved ones, is highlighted through a distinctly hedonistic streak: good food, good wine, friendship, love, sensuality, and just about every pleasure of life one can imagine ! (with a clear preference, nonetheless, for pleasures of the flesh).
On the more challenging side, this period can encourage idleness, a tendency to remain somewhat stuck in one’s habits, letting oneself drift along, carried by life, with a certain passivity setting in…
Ultimately, it is all a matter of balance between the necessity of labour and epicurean impulses.
The Sun transiting Taurus is also a time of year when one may adopt a proprietary attitude, toward material possessions as well as toward loved ones: conservatism, possessiveness, jealousy, resentment, even stinginess…
Stubbornness can dominate the period, with everyone holding their ground, attempting to resist the natural flow of events, and lacking flexibility.
Because the energy of the period is responsible and frugal, it can also weigh on the family atmosphere, even if generosity toward loved ones is not necessarily absent, but it will tend to express itself through practical, useful things rather than frivolities.
