Taurus Season + The Sensualist
A field guide to reclaiming sensuality, self-worth and being in your body.
Hey cosmic babes!
I hope you're soaking in the slowness of this long weekend and enjoying a few hot crossies and easter eggs.
Today we welcome Taurus Season: a chapter to slow back down and reconnect to our bodies, to the earth, to beauty and to pleasure.
Aries was the spark - a time to remember who we are - and now Taurus ushers in a felt reclamation of that knowing. In the progression of the zodiac wheel, we shift the energy from the primal I Am to the embodied I Have.
We leave behind a season of eclipses and retrogrades and begin to soften. We come back to how we feel and we begin to actually embody all the wisdom we have just gathered.
Taurus is an earth sign, ruled by Venus and connected to the cosmic mother. The fire of Aries lent us the courage to burn through old stories and narratives and conditioning, and now the earth of Taurus asks us to tend to what remains.
This is a Venusian season and so we indulge in art, in food, in scent, in texture. All the things that make life feel lush and rich. We’re asked to live and feel life instead figuring out the meaning of it all. So take this month as an invitation to understand how things feel to you. Slow down and feel the erotic nature of juice from ripe fruit dripping down your chin. Take a night to yourself and feel the slow sensuality of eating by candlelight in a silk robe. Treat yourself royally and feel the luxuriousness of having an at-home spa day, just because.
Taurus is the bull. She is slow and she is steady. She teaches us that slowing down really means being so firmly rooted in our own delicious sense of self and knowing our worth so deeply that we no longer need to rush or to grasp or to grab.
By embodying Taurean energy, we manifest and we magnetise because we have built a life that is sustained, nourished and self-resourced.
I know that sometimes the idea of slow living can seem like a fever dream in amongst the realities of life and that it’s easy to talk about feeling lush and sensual when we’re not rushing between work, friends, partners, family and racing to finish deadlines. So this month, we’ll borrow from the cosmic energy of Taurus and reacquaint ourselves with the simple pleasures of our own bodies, our own lives, our own radiant beauty and then stitch together little moments where we can come back to ourselves and feel life again.
Because that’s the medicine of Taurus: to feel more deeply into what’s already here.
So if you're craving a space to soften and to remember what felt sensation is again, here's what's unfolding this month:
Taurus New Moon Circle
I'd love to invite you to a live New Moon Circle next Saturday, 26 April at 3pm AEDT.
We'll begin with an exploration of the Taurus New Moon energies: what it’s inviting in and how to work with it, then we’ll drop into a guided meditation and embodiment practice led by Monique Commins of Embodied.
Afterward, there’ll be space to reflect, to share or simply to sit in circle and soak it all in.
You can join via this link.
