Venus enters Taurus on April 29th at exactly 6:31 am CDT and will stay here until May 23rd. Venus is departing the blaze of Aries and moving to embrace the more indulgent pleasures of Taurus. For the next three weeks, try to be more physical in your relationships, encourage others more, and seek pleasure.
Venus is finally back in one of the signs it’s most comfortable in! This creates a massive opportunity for us to reconnect with others more tangibly and reaffirm our devotion to those we care most about. We should expect to take our need for pleasure and security much more seriously now as we more deeply appreciate what we find comforting.
It is important to focus on fostering stability in our relationships during this period. Taurus is a fixed sign, indicating that now may be the time to establish more consistency in how we connect and relate to others. If you have been lacking in commitment or force, it may be worthwhile to reflect on why this is so. You may need to decide whether to finally commit to your relationships or to move on permanently.
However, we should be aware that Venus does make some challenging connections while in Taurus. A square to Pluto and a conjunction with Uranus indicate that necessary relationship shifts are coming. It may be that our values no longer align with others or that the dynamic has become stagnant. As we grow and change, we may discover that the things we once relied on for comfort or pleasure no longer fulfill us. Hopefully, this realization can inspire us to evolve and seek new sources of happiness and fulfillment.
As we embrace the joy of pleasure, we must remember that it can be a force that propels us toward our greater purpose. Let us wield it as a tool to achieve our dreams and aspirations rather than simply indulging in it for its own sake. In a world that needs more compassion and empathy, let us use pleasure as a means to care for one another and build a better society.
