Taurus Season 2023 Encourages Your Inner Growth & Healing — Here's What Your Zodiac Sign Should Expect

Seasons

17 Apr

Grounded Taurus season — the second month of the astrological year — brings frustratingly slow energy from April 20 to May 21, 2023. When the Sun enters Taurus, it makes immediate contact with transformational Pluto in Aquarius, bringing intense energy, which forces you to face yourself honestly. Inner tensions will arise as your inhibited drive urges you to confront psychological barriers that suppress your willpower. This challenging energy will inspire your internal growth as you move into the haze of Mercury retrograde in Taurus from April 21. A significant majority of Taurus season coincides with Mercury’s introspective backspin, inviting you to be more reflective than communicative and to question your stubborn conclusions.

You Will Feel Introspective And Healing

Alongside Mercury’s stubborn retrograde, Pluto — the planet of psychology and intense transformation — will retrograde through intellectual Aquarius. From May 1, you’ll begin to reconsider your place within society and your community. You may question how much you can relate to your friends and think deeply about recent changes to your social circle. When the dramatic lunar eclipse aligns in tenacious Scorpio on May 5, intense, emotional, and psychological endings in your life will urge you to let go of things you cannot control. You’ll know in your head and heart where you must heal and move on from the past, and as your environment changes, the universe challenges you to move with it.

Come May 7, Venus — the planet that oversees love, values, and materialism — will enter sentimental Cancer. As the ruling planet of Taurus, Venus’ energy shift will have a defining influence over the season. Venus in Cancer increases the value of quality time and your desire to connect with your family and loved ones. Expect to feel more affectionate and nurturing toward others.

The Season Ends On An Ambitious High

Once Mercury retrograde ends on May 14, your mental clarity will be restored, allowing you to make decisions that you are certain of. Jupiter — the planet of luck, growth, and beliefs — joins the Sun in Taurus on May 16. This empowering energy inspires you to manifest your material and financial desires. Call in the luxury you deserve and have worked hard to achieve. May 19 brings opportunities to take a cautious yet rewarding step toward your next target during the new moon in Taurus. However, you may learn that you must sometimes walk alone instead of waiting for others to share your determination and readiness.

Taurus season ends with Mars’ entrance into bold and playful Leo on May 20. This passionate energy fills you with courage and motivates you to take control. You may be angered by not receiving attention and recognition for your achievements. However, you’ll feel courageous enough to face hurdles with unwavering self-belief and your loved ones cheering you on.

Aries

Progress may look like one step forward and two steps back this Taurus season. With a decreased certainty in your work and actions, the universe calls you to slow down and be sure of what you’re doing next and why. Consider whether your stubbornness is causing you to stick to routines that have proven not to bring about results. Calculate your next steps by taking inspiration from what did (or didn’t) work in the past.

Taurus

As the Sun beams down on your zodiac sign, your personal life will take center stage. Source fulfillment from tender communications with others and hold on tightly to kind sentiments to remember how loved you are. If your goals for the astrological new year have not gotten off to the start you’d hoped for, the universe will direct your focus within to reconsider your current path in life.

Gemini

Take good care of your mental and emotional health, Gemini. Introspective Taurus season calls you to give yourself what you need to feel comfortable in your own skin. The universe wants you to prioritize self-care practices and alleviate your stress by releasing your attachment to worries, fears, and situations that trigger your frustrations.

Cancer

Cancer, expect to feel sensitive and affectionate this Taurus season as loving Venus moves into your zodiac sign on May 7. Quality time with your loved ones and attention and support from your community will increase your self-esteem. However, you’ll face challenges to navigate your emotions when you aren’t getting the same effort you give in your relationships.

Leo

Resist your instinct to push forward with your career goals until May 20, when active Mars barges into your zodiac sign. The universe wants you to see the value in reviewing the work you will be known and recognized for, so you can increase its standard. In your social life, you may want more attention and affection without having to ask for it. Consider whether you’re giving yourself enough love first.

Virgo

Taurus season encourages you to learn more about your beliefs and attitudes, especially your perceptions of the world or dogmatic spiritual ideas. Your concentration and drive may decline as the universe calls your attention to the present moment and urges you to cultivate deep self-understanding by exploring your past. Explore how you’ve been shaped by what you’ve learned recently.

Libra

Arising concerns over money and security could increase your worries about your future. Try not to panic; emotional and financial support may appear when you need it most. Avoid making any decisions in a panic to restore your peace. Hold off on signing any contracts or making important decisions until your clarity is restored during the new moon in Taurus on May 19.

Scorpio

Romantic Taurus season pressures you to communicate from the heart when you and your significant other struggle to see eye-to-eye. Choose your words carefully as Mercury retrograde increases your confusion and chances of winding up in frustrating misunderstandings. Changing ideas about your future will lead you down a new path that will bring you much happiness. Express gratitude and appreciation for the people in your life whom you see in your future.

Sagittarius

Growing concerns about your body, health, and lifestyle habits will influence you to slow down this Taurus season. The universe wants you to acknowledge that keeping busy with work and life has distracted you from something more important: your well-being. Welcome love, encouragement, and motivation from the people who want to see you at your best, and by the end of the season, you’ll be on your A game once again.

Capricorn

Sensual Taurus season will center your mind on love affairs and support your understanding of what you need to feel happy and satisfied. If you’re dating, take your time to begin new relationships on a solid foundation — you could potentially meet a long-term partner at this time. This season challenges you to resist battling people for control with your stubborn and opinionated attitude. Let your guard down and allow yourself to be nurtured.

Aquarius

Aquarius, you need to learn how to relax your mind and find your calm. Don’t pressure yourself to be productive this season. Drifting from your regular lifestyle patterns and routines could cause you to worry about failing to meet your responsibilities. Mercury and Pluto retrograde will be highly influential for you, calling you to reflect on whether you’re getting what you want and need out of life.

Pisces

Fill your own cup before taking care of your loved ones, Pisces. Taurus season invites you to consider whether you are receiving the same love, care, and attention that you give to others. Listen more than you speak, and don't beat yourself up over misunderstandings or texting and email errors — accidents happen! You may realize the importance of reconsidering your ideas and learning to take back something you've said instead of doubling down on your ideas.
