Venus in Taurus

“Listen. Are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?” - Mary Oliver.

Venus enters Taurus on Friday June 6th, a day ruled by Venus. Taurus is ruled by Venus and therefore Venus feels at home in this Fixed Earth sign.  This transit is beneficial for all Earth and Water Signs, and provides opportunities for growth for all Fire and Air Signs.

Venus in Taurus is sensual and grounded. Venus in Taurus helps us explore greater depths of pleasure, beauty, comfort, and the finer things in life. When I think of Venus in Taurus, I think of a warm, loving hug. Have you ever received a great, caring hug? Can you still feel how good it felt in that moment? That’s Venus in Taurus. I also think of the first time I ate triple dark chocolate cake…hmm…no words, only sounds of delicious pleasure can describe that feeling! That’s Venus in Taurus. It’s that feeling when all your senses are alive in you and every part of your being smiles with ecstasy. It’s that feeling of love pulsing through your veins when you are held by someone that loves you.

While Venus is in Taurus, we can explore what pleasure, beauty, joy and comfort mean to us. What is pleasurable to you?  What do you find beautiful? What helps you feel comfortable and held? So often in life we deny ourselves pleasure. We are taught to work hard and keep reaching goals and keep attaining things. And in that process we keep delaying our natural, born right to feel joy and to experience comfort, safety, pleasure and all the good things that life can offer us. Life can be delicious!

Venus of course rules Love and Money. So, we must keep an eye out for those areas of our lives. But I also want to invite you to consider exploring the state of joy and pleasure in your life. Find ways to experience more joy, fulfilment and pleasure.

Why? Because Venus is finally coming into the sign of Taurus as she is coming out of her retrograded period, which lasted months! Now, Venus is a radiant morning star in the sky. She is shining her Light onto us and is helping our hearts move into unknown, new territory. As we step into the unknown, we are invited to make life an adventure. To step into the mystery of life with a sense of trust and curiosity. We can explore life with a sense of adventure and optimism. As Venus steps into the realm of Taurus, we can get to know pleasure, joy and happiness in a new way.

Notice what is calling at your heart now. What is your heart inspired to explore? Perhaps a place to begin is to recognize the small pleasures of life, the everyday opportunities for joy, the moments of comfort and ease…for me this morning, was the feeling of a warm, cup of coffee in my hands as I heard the rain outside my window…what was your moment today? Notice those moments when you feel most at ease with life and with yourself. Notice those moments of deep pleasure and joy. Venus will be in Taurus until July 26th 2025. We have several weeks of exploration ahead of us. Go out and play. Explore life. Notice the beauty that surrounds you. Find Joy. Create Joy. Joy is a choice. Pleasure is a choice. Life is what we choose to make of it.

We tend to wait for life to happen…I’ll be happy when I get into that perfect relationship…I’ll be happy when I get into that perfect career or job…I’ll be happy when I’m rich….I’ll be happy when….if you keep waiting, you will never be happy. Happy is now. Right now.  Take this opportunity given to us by the Divine Universe to explore the joy of being alive. The pleasure and the gift that is being alive. Yes. The joy of being alive one-more-day. One more day here on this beautiful planet. You are alive! Make the best of your life! Go explore what makes you happy. Go create more joy and pleasure in your life. Your life is now. Get to it!
