The Vibe of Taurus Season 2026
Notice: The Cosmic Weather This Season
Welcome to Taurus season!
Mars-Saturn Conjunction: Friction as a Feature
We begin this fixed earth season with a series of conjunctions that are bound to ruffle feathers. Today, we are feeling the effects of the bi-annual Mars/Saturn Conjunction.
Impulsive drive halted by a cautious authority.
Mercury Joins the Pile-On
Then we have Mercury joining up with Saturn and Mars, shortly after.
These two meetups can feel restrictive and then fiery in the realm of communications and technology. Not to the degree of a retrograde, but there will be some frustration built up from holdups by Saturn, then hostility with Mars.
Mars is ruling all of these meetups.
Expect heat, hostility and A LOT of friction this week. Frustration that boils beneath the surface will be the softest manifestation, with full on outbursts being the harshest manifestations.
You get to choose how you work with this energy!
Venus-Uranus Final Conjunction in Taurus
Venus will exit her lovely house to enter the house of Gemini on April 23, but just before that, will conjoin with Uranus for their final conjunction in Taurus in our lifetimes.
Uranus Ingress into Gemini: A 7-Year Shift Begins
This will bring another round of revelations in how you relate to others and live by your values. Uranus’ work is almost done in your Taurus house. You’ve experienced drastic changes in how you source food, resources and even how you live by your values, since 2018. Then Uranus will enlighten your Gemini house topics for the next 7 years, beginning April 25th.
Pluto Stations Retrograde: Five Months of Reckoning
The rest of Taurus season will show us where more shadow work needs to be done. The day after Beltane on May 5th, Pluto stations retrograde for the next 5 months. This will bring a period of rethinking themes of power struggles, taboo topics, tested faith and issues of control.
All of these events will trigger you to dig your heels in and stay put. Allow your transformation to happen, the more you dig in, the more challenging all this will feel.
Something to Muse: Where am I being invited to shift and grow?
Working With the Quality of This Season
The energy of Taurus season is inviting you to connect with what is true for you and stay grounded in that.
Saturn’s Lesson: Restraint Over Impulse
When we have a teacher planet and a personal planet having a conversation, you will feel it in your everyday life. Saturn is teaching you to restrain your impulsive behaviors so that you can create a more sustainable effort for the long run. This is the beginning of a new cycle that will last for 2 years.
Align with a patient and more cautious approach in every interaction over the course of this season, and you will allow the lessons to be integrated in an easier way.
The Shadow Work Invitation at Mid-Season
Mid-season is the time when you will be invited to look at your shadow and notice what needs healing. To align with your transformation, allow yourself to really look at and feel through the gems that Pluto brings to the surface for you to heal. Our annual Scorpio Full Moon will help you with this process.
Something to Muse: What is ready to be healed and transformed this Taurus season?
Craft: Aligning Daily Life With Your Values
This Taurus season we are being invited to align our daily habits and activities with our values. Venus’ focus on balance, harmony and how we value things and ourselves will be highlighted this month. Are we making time for the things we value? I shared a method to look at how we are filling our time, during Sagittarius season, and this is an extension of that crafted focus.
Your Big Three as a Values Map
Our values align with our big 3 signs in our chart. Our Sun, Moon and Rising sign have shaped what we value in this life.
This season, your crafted focus is to check in with your values—and align to them in a more intentional way.
This does not have to be difficult or take a lot of time. Simply knowing what your top 3-5 values are and asking yourself “is spending this time doing this thing aligned with this value?” will help you feel aligned and grounded in who you are.
