🌸 Happy Taurus Season!
It’s time to slow the tempo down, tune into the rhythms of the natural world, and
ground into your physical body. Taurus season invites us to put in the practical,
physical effort necessary to turn inspiration into tangible creation.

During Aries season, you burned the past and gathered the seeds of intention and desire for all
that you wish to create. Now Taurus season shifts us into the diligent, patient & rewarding work
of planting those seeds and nurturing their growth.

It’s time to get your hands in the dirt, make art, make food, get crafty. Time to indulge in
delicious tastes, sights, and sensations. Taurus season urges you to root your ideas into physical
reality so they can bring more beauty & value into your life.

Through this workbook, you’ll be exploring the Taurean themes we’re all collectively moving
through right now. The sun is shining its light on your sense of security and worthiness, in both
your inner and outer world, guiding your focus to solidifying your values, consolidating your
efforts, and allowing your personal strengths to rise to the surface.

You’re going to see what you truly value by what you’re willing to put consistent effort into, as
well as what brings you the most pleasure and satisfaction. And you’ll discover new ways to turn
up the volume on your sense of self-worth and gratitude, and to apply your natural talents in
ways that can create a lasting impact.

You do not have to have any Taurus placements in your natal chart for this
workbook to be applicable, as we’re all affected by the overall seasonal energy like
a paint that colors everything we do. The house that Taurus falls in in your natal chart can
give you an idea of the area of life where you’ll be feeling this energy the most.

Moving through the following weeks with an awareness of the energetic signature of Taurus and
how it's playing out in your life can help you stay more present & grounded, more receptive to
pleasure, and more aligned with the abundance and growth this season has to offer!

May you relish every bit of beauty that’s present in your life this Taurus season and stay
dedicated to what you value most, with a patient and joyful heart.

💜 Team Moon Omens

 MYTHOLOGY & ASTROLOGY
From the void of nothingness, everything is born. As we move out of Aries season into the
energy of Taurus, we can see that together, they encompass the birth of all creation.

As Aries is the seed, Taurus is the soil. Aries, ruled by Mars, is the masculine energy of creation:
the spark, the idea, the initiation of desire. Taurus, ruled by Venus, is the feminine energy of
creation: the reception of inspiration, its embodiment, and the vehicle for its birth into the
physical world.

The Bull
Taurus, Latin for “Bull”, is one of the oldest constellations from Babylonian times, and used to
align with the start of spring in the northern hemisphere. It’s a time when the Earth is coming
back to life, when greenery and pink blossoms dot the landscape, and there’s a focus on
preparing the land for crops. The bull's hooves are said to shake the earth and bring the rain,
a metaphor for the power they hold in the physical world and their ability to cultivate
abundance.

During the Taurean age (4420 BC- 2260 BC), bull symbolism and worship was prominent all
over the world as ancient civilizations began to flourish by using bulls as labor in agricultural
production. This is the era when Egypt rose to power, when money and banks emerged, and
agriculture and architecture greatly expanded. There was a desire for beauty, luxury, and
pleasure, as hedonism started to take root.

The Bull became one of the most revered animals in the spiritual world, spanning across history
and almost every ancient culture and religion, uniting belief systems like the spoke at the center
of a wheel. It’s a symbol of fertility, stamina, strength, perseverance, protection, and durability.

All of these energies are felt strongly during Taurus season as we come face to face with the Bull
within ourselves, and learn how to cultivate our physical strength and innate instincts in order
to create more pleasure, security, and value in our lives.

From a raging bull in a ring, snorting, charging, and asserting its power, to Ferdinand the Bull,
peaceful and satisfied to sniff flowers rather than fight, the imagery of bulls is interwoven into
our collective consciousness and holds catalyzing energy that we can assert in our lives in
whatever way we choose.

ASK YOURSELF:

When I think of a bull, what image comes to mind? What energy does it conjure?

Where do I need to slow down more in life or have more patience and perseverance?

Where do I need to dig my heels in and assert my strength or dominance more?

MoonOmens.com 6
Where might I be getting stuck in my comfort zone or acting too stubborn to change?

Which creative endeavors or ideas do I feel ready to charge toward with my full force?

 Eclipse Season 2023 Begins

We enter Taurus season right on the heels of a remarkable eclipse in the last degree of Aries on
April 20 (12:12 am ET) This is the first eclipse in Aries since 2015, and at 29 degrees it’s
activating a transitional point at the close of one chapter and the beginning of a new one. We’re
being thrust into Taurus season with a booster rocket of Aries fire activation.

Thus we officially begin eclipse season 2023, bringing turning points, paradigm shifts, and
awakenings to the collective experience. After the new moon total solar eclipse in April comes a
penumbral lunar eclipse in Scorpio on May’s full moon.

This is the last eclipse in Scorpio for the upcoming nine years, as the nodes are changing signs in
July. And on May 16, Jupiter enters Taurus and immediately joins the Lunar North Node,
bringing expansion, optimism, and a desire for growth in the Taurean domains of our lives.

This Taurus season is bringing change, something that Taurus is notoriously not too
fond of. The fixed, stabilizing, earth energy of Taurus can help keep us grounded during the
transitions ahead though, as long as we stay aware of where we may be gripping too tightly to
the past, or even to what we have now, so much so that there’s no room for the future to bring its
energy in.

Eclipse season comes to break us out of our cycles, the well-worn treads of our lives, to show us
new avenues of direction and possibility. Our intuitions will be heightened during this time,
bringing information and insights, revealing the dark spots within ourselves and our society that
we couldn’t see before.

Each eclipse is included in the Astrological Transits Journal at the end of this workbook, to
guide you through their specific energies, but for now, we want to open the door for eclipse
season as a whole to enter into our lives, to shift us, move us, and show us the ways we need to
grow to come into more integrity with our true selves, our true values, and our true feelings.

ASK YOURSELF:

What are some insights I gained during Aries season about what needs to change in my life?

MoonOmens.com 8
What are some things I value that I’m not currently devoting enough time or energy to?

What parts of my life feel like they’re aching for a breakthrough or big change?

What patterns, cycles & stories am I ready to release this eclipse season so new chapters can
open?

MoonOmens.com 9
What have I been blind to or not able to perceive clearly, that I’m ready to bring into the light?

Juno in Taurus
Currently transiting Taurus is the asteroid Juno, which has been making its way through
the sign of the Bull since mid-March, and will be there until May 2, when it moves into Gemini.

Juno is the goddess of marriage, home, family, and commitment, married to Jupiter, King of the
Gods. Many of the threads of these Juno themes can be found within the energy of Taurus, who
is fiercely devoted and loyal, committed to that which they love, and often take slow, careful
consideration of what they’re willing to commit themselves to.

The transit of Juno through Taurus could shine a light on your need to experience relationships
that support your sense of self-worth, sensuality, financial security, and stability.

It’s a perfect time to look deeper at what you’re willing to commit yourself to, what you truly
value, and whether or not your relationships, from romantic to business, support that.

MoonOmens.com 10
ASK YOURSELF:

Are there any relationships in my life where I’m feeling non-commital or unsure? Why is that?

What do I truly value in a relationship? Which relationships in my life support those values?

Which relationships in my life deserve more of my loyalty and commitment?

MoonOmens.com 11
Are there any relationships where I feel a lack of loyalty or commitment from their end? How
does that make me feel?

How can I better communicate my needs in my committed relationships?

 Five Senses Meditation

This simple, grounding meditation is something you can do anytime you feel stressed, spun out,
distracted, or anxious, to help bring you back to your body, back to this present moment, and
connected to those beautiful Taurean physical senses.

You can do this meditation anywhere you are, at any time.

Step 1:
Get into a comfortable seated position. Take a few moments to shift and settle into your body.
Roll your shoulders back, spine nice and straight, and feet flat on the ground.

Take a few deep breaths in through your nose, and out through your mouth.

Step 2:
You’re going to practice tuning into each of your physical senses. Keep your eyes open,
and start by naming 5 things you can see that stand out to you in some way.

Step 3:
Breathe. Now tune into your ears, and see if you can name 4 things you can hear
right now. These could be sounds from around you, or from within you.

Step 4:
Breathe and tune into your sense of touch. Name 3 things you can feel
right now, against your skin, around you, or within you.

Step 5:
Breathe and tune into your sense of smell. Name 2 things you can
smell right now.

Step 6:
Breathe and tune into your sense of taste. Name 1 thing
you can taste right now.

Step 7:
And here you are! Arrived. Present. Embodied.
Take another deep breath in through your nose,
and out through your mouth, and experience how
amazing is to simply BE.

MoonOmens.com 14
Taurus reminds us of the exquisite beauty of existence, of how miraculous it is to be alive and
to have a body that can feel all these amazing sensory experiences. When you connect with
your senses, you connect back to life!

MY TAURUS SEASON INTENTIONS:

This season is the time to follow through on your inspirations & ideas & put in the real-world
work required to bring them to life. Think about what you want to cultivate more of in your life,
what you value most, and what would feel good to put your full effort into.

Putting your intentions down on paper is a potent practice to help you focus on what you’re
ready to create in your life so you can keep walking the path forward.

What do you want to have more of in your life? What would bring you the most
pleasure? What practical steps can you take to help bring your dreams to life?

MoonOmens.com 15
 MY TAURUS SEASON AFFIRMATIONS
The Taurus mantra is I HAVE.

Taurus is exploring the themes of ownership- what it means to have a body, to have innate gifts
and talents, to have feelings and sensations, to have resources and material things, to have a
responsibility to ourselves & others, and to be the caretakers of this Earth.

If it feels good, you can use Taurus’ mantra I HAVE to create potent affirmations for this season.

What do you already have to be grateful for? What strengths & resources do you
possess? And what do you want to cultivate in your life?

Taurus style examples:

I have value, I have beauty, I have amazing gifts to share, I have enough money for all
my wants & needs, I have plenty to eat, I have support

Now it’s your turn! Write out your ‘I HAVE’ statements below and return to this page to add on
or remind yourself of all that you possess, whenever you need it.

 TAURUS SEASON TAROT CARD: The Hierophant
Taurus is associated with the 5th major arcana card in the deck, the Hierophant, or “Magus
(magician) of Eternal Gods.” The Hierophant is a traveler between worlds and a communicator
between higher & lower plains, associated with the mysteries of life. He’s seen seated on a throne
between two pillars, representing the structuring of our spiritual lives, and on the Thoth deck,
the Hierophant is pictured seated on a bull.

There are many deep symbological connections related to Taurus, but for our purposes here,
we’re looking at how the Hierophant points to how we create a practical structure within our
spiritual practice. It’s about living in accordance with our inherent values & figuring
out how to step into our natural Taurean birthright of having all the resources we
need to create purposeful, valuable, fulfilling lives.

Taurus is about the physical manifestation of the spirit in human form, and the Hierophant is
symbolic of the spiritual life of a human. Together they’re exploring how to live in the material
world as spiritual beings.

Light aspects:
teacher, keeper of cosmic secrets, brings order to chaos, ritual, structure, connection to the
divine, spiritual guidance, conscience, inner instincts, wealth as a spiritual birthright

Shadow aspects:
conformity, rigidness, structural systems of authority, suppression, over-control, materialism,
the establishment, societal norms, dogma, intolerance

ASK YOURSELF:

How can I embody my spiritual values more and incorporate them in practical, daily ways?

MoonOmens.com 17
Where am I being too rigid or stuck in “how it’s supposed to be” that I’m not open to new ways
of thinking?

Where am I living in accordance with someone else’s values, traditions, or “norms” that I no
longer want to uphold?

Where am I too attached to the material world and not allowing room for Spirit?

MoonOmens.com 18
 TAURUS SEASON MANIFESTING

Manifesting during this season is about grounding your inspiration and ideas down into
practical plans and following through, staying the course, keeping dedicated to your goals.

It’s the perfect time to think about money, love, self-worth, pleasure, and abundance in all the
ways. Think about what you most value and hold dear, within yourself and all around you, and
what you’re willing to put actual physical effort into cultivating in your life.

Use this section to track what you’re calling into your life right now and all the
manifestations that come into being along the way.

This season, I AM MANIFESTING:

Thank you for all that I’ve manifested so far:

MoonOmens.com 19
 TAURUS SEASON WORK/PURPOSE
Taurus energy asks you to focus and dedicate your time and efforts to what you most value, what
you enjoy most, and what can help you establish more stability in your life.

Your purpose during this time has to do with cultivating the physical resources you need to feel
happy, comfy, and secure, and the inner resources you need to step into your true self-worth.

Taurus season invites you to put your ideas into fruition and finish what you started during
Aries season, with a focus on quality over quantity and creating things of lasting value.

ASK YOURSELF:

What things in my life make me feel the most secure, content, and purposeful? Am I spending
enough quality time pursuing those things?

Am I using my true talents & gifts in my work or to serve my higher purpose? If not, how can I
incorporate more of them into what I’m doing?

MoonOmens.com 20
In what ways does my work or day-to-day life feel fulfilling to me? In what ways does it feel
depleting?

Do I feel I’m adding value to the world, or contributing to other people’s lives in a beneficial
way? How so, or why not?

Where in my life am I focused on what’s lacking, and how can I shift my focus instead to all
that I already possess?

MoonOmens.com 21
 TAURUS SEASON RELATIONSHIPS
Taurus is known to be one of the most devoted signs of the zodiac, incredibly loyal & steadfast to
those they love. They can be discerning & slow to warm up, like an actual bull, but once you gain
their trust, they’ll be your fierce protector, rock of strength, & genuine source of support.

We can learn from this Taurean-style devotion during this season, as relationships take on an air
of sensuality and sweetness, a yearning to taste and experience all the pleasures of life together,
spend quality time with each other, and find comfort in just being together.

This can apply to all sorts of relationships, from familial to romantic to business, as Taurus
season slows down the momentum a bit and brings us into savoring the present moment and
sharing all the beauty and delight we find there with the people in our lives.

ASK YOURSELF:

Which relationships in my life make me feel loved, content, at ease, and secure? And which
ones don’t?

How can I create more enjoyment in the relationships that currently feel difficult?

MoonOmens.com 22
What’s my idea of spending quality time with someone, and who in my life do I need to do that
more with?

Have I been devoting my time and effort to the right relationships? How so, or why not?

What are some things I want to see, feel or hear in my relationships this season?

MoonOmens.com 23
 TAURUS SEASON SHADOW WORK
The shadow side of Taurus is stubborn, possessive, and materialistic. It can be like a giant bull
lounging in the shade who won’t move for anyone. Taurus can become lazy, gluttonous, and so
stuck in their own point-of-view that they’re unwilling to listen or learn new things.

It can be a real challenge for Taurus energy to let go- of things, people, ideas, opinions, or ways
of being. The Bull wants what it wants when it wants it and can become so focused on creating
security for itself that it becomes greedy, jealous, and stingy, overly obsessed with the material
world and all its possessions while ignoring or unconscious of its spiritual life.

These shadow energies all exist within each of us and can become heightened during Taurus
season, especially while it’s occurring during an eclipse portal. So it’s important to stay
conscious of how these energies arise within you and your environment during this time so you
can give them space to breathe, accept that they’re a part of you, and transmute their energy into
something that can help you grow.

ASK YOURSELF:

Who or what is bringing up feelings of jealousy within me? If I could look beneath the jealousy,
what emotions would I find there?

MoonOmens.com 24
Am I too attached or possessive of certain things or people in my life? What am I scared of
losing if I no longer have them?

Am I being too greedy, gluttonous, or wanting too much in an area of my life? What would feel
like “enough” to me?

MoonOmens.com 25
What makes me feel the most insecure about myself or my life? Where did this insecurity come
from?

Where am I feeling lazy, unmotivated, or stuck in a rut? How does that make me feel?

MoonOmens.com 26
What have I been clinging to in my life for far too long simply because I’m afraid to let go?

What advice or ideas have I shoved aside because I didn’t want to hear them, but they may
actually be beneficial for me?

Do I believe I’m worthy of having security, comfort, ease, and peace in my life? Why or why
not?

 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aries /Sun enters Taurus
APRIL 20 (12:12 AM ET /4:14 AM ET)

The new moon solar eclipse in Aries kickstarts eclipse season with a potent new beginning that’s
likely to feel intense & powerful. This eclipse happens close to the North Node in the first
degrees of Taurus creating a supportive influence for our movement toward the future, the
unknown & the new. The sun & moon are squaring Pluto in Capricorn, offering opportunities for
empowerment, deep personal transformation & increased emotional self-awareness.

the chance to deepen our receptivity & ability to accept what the Universe offers us.

 Mercury stations retrograde in Taurus
APRIL 21 (4:35 AM ET)

Mercury is in Taurus for the entirety of Taurus season, 3 weeks of which will be spent in
retrograde, bringing a slower rhythm to the mind & more consideration to our decisions.

As Mercury stations retrograde on April 21, it approaches a conjunction with Uranus in Taurus,
bringing the potential to shake things loose from the shackles of our minds, especially when it
comes to our ways of perceiving wealth, our bodies, our sensuality, and our own value.

Don’t fret Mercury retrograde though, this is a beautiful opportunity to rest, reflect, and renew
yourself, to look back at how you’ve changed and the ways you’re still growing, and to come into
a slower thought process that allows room for Universal insights to squeak in.

💎Green Fluorite: To clear, sharpen & focus the mind, clear dense thinking patterns & align
the mind with the heart. Cleansing & healing for the whole aura. Instills patience, relief & calm.

In what ways do I block or resist feeling pleasure or surrendering to my sensations?

Are there structures in my life that feel too rigid & controlling that need to break down?
And/or are there areas of chaos in my life that could use more structure & diligence?

MoonOmens.com 32
 Pluto stations retrograde
MAY 1 (1:08 PM ET)

When Pluto, Lord of the underworld, starts to move backward, it marks a time of reflection and
reassessment of where we’re at in our empowerment journey, and how our deepest fears and
wounds are influencing our lives. This is an opportunity to gain a more profound awareness of
our emotional and psychological nature.

Retrogrades can allow us to see things from a different state of consciousness, distant from our
ordinary perception. They remind us that problems cannot be solved from the same level of
consciousness that created them.

Something from the past that still haunts us may come back to be reviewed, giving us the chance
to transform it by asserting our personal power. It’s time to put an end to unsolved stories,
reorganize them at an emotional level, and completely let go of what needs to go.

💎Stibnite: This Pluto-ruled crystal aids through rebirth & transformation, helping you let go
of what needs to be released. Brings new beginnings & opens you to a higher version of yourself

🌱Mugwort: For protection on life’s journey, this Pluto-associated herb widens perspective &
heightens insight to break through fears & unconscious wounds. Attracts good spirits, luck.

ASK YOURSELF:

Can I see now how some of my deepest fears & wounds created certain struggles, cycles &
situations in my life?

 Full Moon Penumbral Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio
MAY 5 (1:33 PM ET)

This full moon lunar eclipse in Scorpio, connected to the lunar South Node, is a very powerful
lunation. It comes with a strong feeling of culmination, release, and dissolution, and it brings
clarity and illumination over something that we have been working on during the entire cycle of
eclipses in Taurus and Scorpio.

Issues around our sexuality, intimacy, and finances could be highlighted in intense ways. In
some way, this eclipse picks up on the energy that became available a few days back when Pluto,
the modern ruler of Scorpio, began its retrograde phase.

This eclipse is also a time to close cycles, remove what doesn’t work, and let go of what we hold
on to that is toxic, disempowering, painful, or inauthentic. In doing so, we prepare ourselves to
move forward and we open doors that give us access to a new level of consciousness.

💎Mahagony Obsidian: For grounding & emotional balance, to release old wounds, fears,
blocks & toxic energy. Empowers you to stand in your strength & follow your true soul’s path.

🌱Nettle: A spring cleansing herb, for protection & purity, to ward off dark energies. Removes
wastes from the body, mind & spirit. Restorative, enhances sexual potency, brings good fortune.

ASK YOURSELF:

What issues or themes around sexuality, intimacy, or money have I noticed recurring in my
life since this cycle of Taurus/Scorpio eclipses started back in November 2021?

MoonOmens.com 35
What situations in my life are ready for some immense clarity and truth to be revealed?

 Venus enters Cancer
MAY 7 (10:25 AM ET)

The planet of love, sensuality, beauty, and art is entering Cancer today. During this transit, we
value familiarity, comfort, and emotional intimacy and we are drawn to spending our time with
people we trust, who feel like family to us, and with whom we feel safe and protected.

This transit inspires us to deepen our attachment to the past and our memories. For this reason,
our family and domestic life might come to the forefront during the upcoming weeks.
We may feel like giving more love and attention to these areas, and we may find a resolution of
old conflicts and disagreements. While Venus is here, our ability to care for others and to open
our hearts to our close ones is going to be enhanced.

💎Rose Quartz: Gentle heart-opening stone to bring comfort & peace. Encourages love,
forgiveness & compassion towards self & others. Clears old wounds & increases acceptance.

🌱Rose: Uplifting & divine scent of beauty, harmony & love. Calms stress, soothes the spirit &
opens the heart. Associated with Venus & feminine power, enhances passion & attraction.

ASK YOURSELF:

What do I need from others to feel safe, open up, trust & form deep connections with them?

MoonOmens.com 37
Who in my life feels like family, whether by blood or not, who I can count on for a safe place

 Mercury stations direct in Taurus
MAY 14 (11:17 PM ET)

 Jupiter enters Taurus
MAY 16 (1:20 PM ET)

The Greater Benefic, Jupiter, enters Taurus today, where he will stay for approximately one
year. This transit brings our attention to the importance of connecting with simplicity, with the
body, and with our senses.

Jupiter correlates with optimism, growth, abundance, and authenticity. In an Earth sign like
Taurus, the Great Benefic enhances the inclination to adopt worldviews and belief systems that
support a practical, unpretentious, and grounded perspective of life. This energy inspires the
cultivation of qualities such as patience, generosity, attention, and sensitivity.

Risks associated with Jupiter in Taurus could be overindulging in physical and sensorial
pleasures, or waiting too long for things to happen. This transit can be an indicator of economic
growth and an abundance of resources, and it invites us to reframe, rediscover, and reconsider
our beliefs surrounding our relationship with our planet, our bodies, and nature.

 New Moon in Taurus
MAY 19 (11:53 AM ET)

Today’s lunation in Taurus closes the Eclipse portal.

Currently, there are five planets, plus the North Node, transiting Taurus. Our relationships with
the Earth, with our resources and values, and with our bodies will be in the spotlight. A new
moon is a time to initiate, and Taurus does so pragmatically and tangibly. The Bull is obstinate,
determined, committed to success, and able to work in a constant and persistent mode.

The presence of Jupiter close to the North Node will support our luck and our optimism during
the upcoming lunar cycle. The Sun-Moon trine to Pluto in Capricorn inspires us to trust our
instinctive willpower and develop an intuitive perception of our and other people’s needs.

💎Jade: A Taurean stone of nurturing & bounty, for health, wealth, harmony & heart healing.
Promotes success & growth. Durable & protective. Brings a joyful perspective & good luck.

 Mars enters Leo
MAY 20 (11:32 AM ET)

After being in watery Cancer for approximately two months, Mars enters Leo. Here, its energy
can be channeled more harmoniously, as both of these symbols belong to the Fire element.

Mars, the planet associated with our determination, drive, and physicality, can express these
qualities easily here. Mars in Leo is a supportive transit for our self-confidence. It increases our
charisma and leadership skills while being creative, passionate, and seductive.

The current transit favors romance, sports, and artistic activities. The goal here is being seen
and enhancing one’s personal image while actualizing personal desires and will. While we may
feel more expressive, playful, and generous during this time, it is also relevant to take care to not
use arrogance as a way to overcompensate for our insecurities.

💎Red Jasper: A Leo stone for action & forward momentum. Brings strength, passion,
confidence & drive, enhances physical vitality & energy. Keeps you focused, grounded & secure.

🌱Helichrysum: Speeds healing of wounds & bruises & helps release psychological pain.
Soothing, anti-inflammatory, calms flames within. Brings youthful beauty & a glow to the skin.

ASK YOURSELF:

If I were acting as my most confident and charismatic self, what would I want to do? What
new things would I try? What would I take charge of?

What’s something creative, fun, playful, or active that I’ve been thinking about doing but
haven’t yet? And how can I make it happen during this transit?

Where in my life have I been seeking attention or approval from others, and how can I give it
to myself instead?
