Living in the pressure cooker of our 24/7 go-go culture it is easy to feel frustrated when the pace of progress slows or even comes to a standstill.
A reduced pace gives you space to catch up and breathe. It gives you an opportunity to make sure your bookkeeping is up to date, that other systems of your life are working as they should (and the space to make necessary corrections if they are not). One such interval occurs every year for the month-long period starting on April 20th. This is when the Sun travels through Taurus.
Taurus is represented by the bull, an animal that can be slow and plodding if left to its devices, but can be a mass of rage when sufficiently provoked. Do not provoke Taurus.
Taurus prefers to be left alone. He has his own sense of time which is much different than yours if you were born with a birth chart containing a lot of cardinal, fire or Gemini energy. Like the Knight of Pentacles in the RWS Tarot deck, he will get to his destination, but on his own schedule. But first he wants to make sure...
While his predecessor sign Aries tends to leap before it looks, Taurus carefully considers his next move. Perhaps one reason for this is that he finds himself cleaning up Aries' messes. On the other hand, unlike his predecessor sign Aries, Taurus' commitments are for the long haul.
Taurus does not like complications. While he has the patience to untangle complexity he prefers simplicity. Simple is straightforward and easy to understand. And secure. And the Bull likes security.
