After a month of dealing with last month’s Eclipse as well as Mercury retrograde in the fiery, intense Aries, we have now slowed down our pace, enjoying the soothing, calm of the Sun now transiting in the earthy sign of Taurus. Situations, ideas and occurrences that took place during Aries are starting to flourish at a steadier rate. It’s time for many of us to reap the benefits as we begin to come out of our homes to enjoy the sunshine, putter in the garden and enjoy the long walks. As we emerge from hibernation, it’s time to take on the world. Get a sense of grounding, get more creative with Sun conjunct Venus and Jupiter in the creative, stubborn, sign of Taurus.
