Exploring Taurus Season
00:00:12
Speaker
Join us as we navigate through various witchy topics and share what we've learned about the craft. So get in, witches, as we delve into the steadfast and sensual realm of Torah season, grounding ourselves in earthly pleasures and the enduring determination of this Sothiak sign.
00:00:44
Speaker
and drink some coffee. I'll have some coffee as well. Mike bought some, well, we're waiting for our espresso beans to come in the mail because we ran out of espresso beans. And so I have not been able to use my beautiful espresso machine in like a week, but we have our Nespresso and he bought these new Nespresso pods that are supposed to be like the goat Nespresso pods and they have like more caffeine than
00:01:14
Speaker
all the other ones. And so he's like, just a reminder, you can't do like a quadruple shot. Like two shots is like your daily intake of like caffeine for the day in a life. Oh my God. Okay. Challenge accepted.
00:01:31
Speaker
But yeah, you should have seen Avery. I wish we'd have taken videos after her surgery.
Avery's Surgery Story
00:01:38
Speaker
So podcast listeners, my little one broke her arm this past week and she had to have surgery and they put her under whatever for the surgery. And when she was coming to, she was so funny. And I can't remember what she said, but she was like, the nurse was helping her do something. And she looked up at me and she was like, see mom, I am a good girl.
00:02:04
Speaker
And they had a little heart monitor thing around her big toe. And the nurse was like, okay, I'm gonna take your sock off and remove the sticker that's there. And she's like, is it supposed to be there? She was just, I don't even know. I wish we would have taken videos, because she was so funny and she was so out of it. And she was just like this.
00:02:24
Speaker
with her head back. Like we thought she was going to be sick or something. She wasn't, but yeah, she's just like, she didn't realize that we were in, you know, cause the pre-op room was like totally different than the post-op room. And she's like, where did the TV go? Oh my God, how did I get here? Like she, I wish we would have taken videos because it was so funny, but yeah. I love videos of people coming off of anesthesia. But anyway, we're talking about anesthesia. Yeah. I was going to say before we start though,
00:02:53
Speaker
I'm still sick. If you couldn't tell, if you couldn't tell. I am still coughing, which I keep muting myself every time I have to cough. But if I cough, look, I'm sick. I'm doing my best. Yeah. It just has to happen. It's almost done. Almost. The next time you hear from us, she will probably still be sick because we're recording again. I was going to say, I'm definitely going to still be sick. But in a couple of weeks, in a couple of weeks, she won't be.
00:03:23
Speaker
And if I am, I'm going to be really mad about it. This damn European plague. Right. But yeah, so anesthesia and coughing out of
Insights on Taurus from 'The Cut'
00:03:34
Speaker
the way. Yeah, that's not what we're talking about. We're not. We're talking about Taurus season. Yes, it's Taurus season. So, you know, I can't help myself. And I had to go to the cut. I had to log in on a different alias because they were like, you read too many of our articles without paying again.
00:03:54
Speaker
So I had to go like under my herbal email, like my Sincerely Erased email. I was like, let me try this one. And it was like, oh, you can read the article. So the cut says about Taurus season. After the intensity of Aries season, after those bright, blissful, first warm days of spring, Taurus season, which runs from April 20th to May 21st, offers us a chance to stabilize, to get comfortable, and to come back down to Earth.
00:04:22
Speaker
I feel like that's the nicest transition from another season. They were pretty nice with the last one. Why can't I think of it? Yes. My brain is broken.
00:04:38
Speaker
But it was more like, quit daydreaming, it's time to go into reality. But it was pretty mild. I feel like the last few, they've just been really nice. I'm still bitter about the cat for corn stick in the muds. They were so meaningless. They really were. It was uncalled for. Maybe they've listened to our podcast and they're like, actually, maybe we are meaner than we think we're being. Wow, sorry.
00:05:09
Speaker
But yeah, so this season is about indulging in the richness of life, prioritizing pleasure over anything, and finding balance and stability in all aspects of life.
00:05:21
Speaker
So just like the background and basics, Taurus is a fixed earth sign whose season runs from around April 20th to May 20th and is symbolized by the bull.
Attributes and Themes of Taurus
00:05:33
Speaker
The sign is ruled by Venus and it makes this season's theme pleasure, love, and beauty. This ruling makes Taurus carry an innate sense of sensuality and indulgence. Their lucky colors are blue, pink, and green.
00:05:50
Speaker
Their gemstones are emerald. Their lucky days are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And I think we've included lucky days before, but for some reason, it popped up on here and I was like, that's interesting. I don't remember lucky days for the other ones. No, I don't either. And now I need to know what my lucky day is. Right? What is my lucky day? Lucky numbers are two and six.
00:06:15
Speaker
And most compatible zodiacs with a Taurus are going to be Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus, because we're all wonderful earth signs. All sticks in the mud. Wow. I like it. No, I'm disturbing. The mode for Taurus is fixed. The element, of course, is earth. And the house that it's associated with is the second house.
00:06:44
Speaker
The second house is associated with security, possessions, and personal wealth. The tarot card associated with Taurus season is the hierophant, and the body part is the throat, and the mantra is I have. Taurus is completely grounded in the physical world. They respond to beauty, indulgence, wealth, and the rewards of a job well done. This sign signifies power, determination, and tenacity, and while coming out of area season,
00:07:13
Speaker
It shifts and alters your mindset and personality to fit these characteristics. Taurus energy is often very practical and they're ready to do what needs to be done. This sign is very unlikely to get carried away with like impulses and wins. And they have a talent for sustained action, for committing to positive habits and for resisting all pressure to be swayed from their work or plans.
00:07:40
Speaker
All three earth signs, which again are Capricorn, Virgo, and Taurus, are rooted in the physicality of the world and the body. But Taurus in particular is ruled by Venus, which is the planet of love. This means that this season is not only about the work that the body can do, but also the pleasure it can feel to. Taurus are said to understand the value of rest and relaxation, and for being able to turn down excess work.
00:08:08
Speaker
While this sign is often thought of as the sign of luxury, it's important to understand that this doesn't always equate to wealth. This is a common misconception that you often seen thrown at all three of the earth signs in different capacities. But in terms of luxury for a Taurus, we're talking about what matters most and the experiences that give a Taurus rest and relaxation. So this could be something as simple as taking a nap.
00:08:35
Speaker
or even like taking a hot, relaxing bath. It's not necessarily like the luxury of money. Taurus value loyalty in their relationships, and they will never forsake a friend in difficult times, but they expect the same loyalty in return. And the thing a Taurus is said to crave the most from their lives is stability.
00:08:56
Speaker
So moving into a little bit more on the symbolism and lore related to Taurus season. Taurus season begins in the northern hemisphere exactly when everything is blooming and when it's at its most abundant. Everything is intensifying and blooming and becoming stable and sustained and if that is not the best metaphor to depict Taurus season then I don't know what is.
00:09:17
Speaker
As we mentioned at the beginning of the episode, Taurus is a fixed sign, and this is the first of the four fixed signs. And so what this means is that Taurus is the most fixed. They are the element of energy, endurance, and stability. They are grounded and movable and rooted in their own tendencies. Being that it is also an Earth sign,
00:09:39
Speaker
Earth signs are known for being strong, and the structure that everything in nature is built upon is also heavy, and according to ancient astrologers, it was known as the most dense element at the time. This tends to Taurus' nature of being methodical, patient, and dependable.
Venus and Taurus: Attraction and Abundance
00:09:56
Speaker
And, you know, as we've already discussed, Taurus is ruled by the planet of Venus, which also rules Libra. Taurus is thought to be the nocturnal home of Venus, and this allows Venus to harness earthly gifts and bounties, which includes things like attraction, affection, good food and drink, etc. So there wasn't really, whenever I was looking up like lore and symbolism and stuff, there wasn't too much about the like ancient like
00:10:22
Speaker
Greek or Roman mythology and stuff like we've seen in some of the other ones. But it was more tied into how with the changing of the seasons and how we're
00:10:35
Speaker
we've progressed from the beginning of spring to now everything's in bloom and everything's abundant and how that transitions to Taurus season. That was really the biggest thing when it came to symbolism. And then going into characteristics, we've talked a little bit already of some of the major characteristics that we see with people who were born under the sign of Taurus, but Taurus is all about reward.
00:10:58
Speaker
Where Ares craves the love of the game, Taurus lives for the rewards of the game, so things like physical pleasures or material goods. They're very tactile as well and they love touch and they're very handsy. Some people who
00:11:12
Speaker
are born under the sign of Taurus might say that their love language is physical affection. Taurus people love comfort and they love being surrounded by pleasing and soothing things. They're all about the quote unquote good life, whatever that means to them. It might not be indulging in overspending or indulging in food or anything like that, but whatever the good life means to them,
00:11:33
Speaker
surrounding themselves with that all the time. They are known to have a steady, patient, and generous energy that is at the center of their personality, and patience is one of their greatest character strengths. They are known as the sustainers. They are very adept at seeing projects and relationships through, and they don't give up easily.
00:11:53
Speaker
They are also the builders of abundance and creating and nourishing life full of pleasure and beauty and those who are born under the sign of Taurus are very resourceful, productive, and consistent. They're also big on common sense. So they are the sign and this my husband is a Taurus and this is something that like we struggle to fit because I'm more he's way more logical and way more into like, you know common sense as opposed to
00:12:20
Speaker
not necessarily, not saying that I don't have common sense, which maybe I don't, I don't know. But he's more so, he wants to see the evidence in front of him as opposed to anything, I can't think of the word, but anything that's just like, he wants to see things tactile in front of him. And sometimes, especially when it comes to spiritualism and things like that, it
00:12:45
Speaker
It takes him a little bit to kind of grasp the concept that I'm explaining because it's not like, it's not, you know, research things right here that he can see. You know what I mean? And they think practically and carefully about what they mean to say. So they're not the type of people that are going to be impulsive texting or anything like that. Like oftentimes, like for instance, with my husband, somebody texts him, it might take him a while to respond and it'll be a very short reply.
00:13:13
Speaker
but he's thought thoroughly about that reply before he sends it. And I am too impatient for that. I'm just like, just send it. Give me your phone and I'll do it for you. As far as weaknesses, they can be complacent at times if they rely on their patients too much and can get stuck in a rut or become unmotivated, maybe being stuck in a relationship that no longer suits them because they don't want to give up on it. They're not vengeful by any means, but tourist people very rarely forget a mistake or a slight.
00:13:41
Speaker
And it might take them a lot longer for them to forgive somebody. They are also incredibly stubborn and adverse to change. So that is another weakness that I see. I think that's just an earth side trait in general. I think it is, honestly. Yeah. Yeah. Anthony says that I am too quick to just cut people out. He's on the cusp. You know, he likes friends. Me, I'm like, no time for this.
00:14:11
Speaker
Yeah. But also don't change my routine. Okay. So moving more into like the life, love and careers. In careers, those with tourist placements are thought to be individuals who are happy to spend hours on a project and not expect anything in return for their work. They're known as the money sign of the Zodiac. And they do extremely well in business, finance and as bankers. Oh,
00:14:40
Speaker
I know. I was like, oh, look at Mike. Yeah. In the right career. In the right career. They tend to be drawn to roles where they can also build and complete goals. So I saw this and I was like, interesting. Because they specifically said herbalism. And I'm like, that's a very exciting thing. Big or something. It is. Construction. Even artistic creation and anything where they can be tactile and with their hands are all good spaces for a tourist. They're also really good at
00:15:09
Speaker
carpentry, fine woodworking, antiquing, and gemology, which I thought was interesting because at first I wouldn't have thought that. But I guess, especially with carpentry and woodworking, there's that attention to detail that while I think it would be kind of cool if I did, I could never do because I'm too impatient.
00:15:27
Speaker
Taurus placements are said to not do well under deadlines and stress and those things make them very inefficient. They need a calm and serene work environment to really thrive. And home life too. Yeah. No, you're good. In love, those with Taurus placements are thought to be some of the most patient and content people.
00:15:51
Speaker
they're happy when their sexual needs are fulfilled, but they're also said to like not complain when those needs aren't met as well. Also, have you ever seen it as Torians? Because I've never seen that. And then like three articles used it. And like this particular one said it that way. And I was like, I love that because I'm just like tourist people.
00:16:12
Speaker
Same. You can see up until this point, I was like, Tor's placements, Tor's equal. And then I was like, Torian's. Torian's. I love that. Yeah. So Torian's are known to be family oriented.
00:16:27
Speaker
and most of their time is well spent in the company of those that they love. They're said to be large hearted, often putting their family's needs above their own. Taurus's downfall can be that they will become so focused on doing and acquiring that they will lose sight of the bigger picture. I can see that. So when it comes to love, I kind of broke down a little bit of the different signs, not signs, the different
00:16:54
Speaker
Yeah, I guess the different signs. I don't have all signs listed because it was getting a bit much, so just generally speaking. With fire signs, they may love the liveliness of a fire sign, but a tourist does not love their impulsiveness or volatility. And this article I was reading, it said, especially Aries.
00:17:14
Speaker
I don't know if you remember, but when we did Aries season, it was very much like Aries and Torres. Absolutely not. And I laughed about that because that's literally you and Mike.
00:17:26
Speaker
Aries are too brash and impatient for the Taurus. The best fit out of the fire signs is Leo because they both share a love of beauty, parties, and pleasure, and they're both incredibly stubborn which could cause some issues. So moving into air signs, air signs may have challenges with a Taurus because air signs may be too speedy and social for a Taurus. Gemini specifically too frenetic and mischievous for a Taurus.
00:17:52
Speaker
The best suit out of the air signs would probably be Libra as they share that Venus rulership that we discussed earlier. Water signs, water signs and earth signs are going to be the most compatible, spoiler alert, but we already knew that about the earth signs. So for water signs, they're very complimentary to Taurus, bringing vulnerability and emotional intelligence to the relationship. And Cancer especially is nurturing to a Taurus and will make a cozy inviting home together. They
00:18:20
Speaker
will be able to reciprocate emotional support and vulnerability. And I thought this was interesting because our daughter, our oldest daughter is a cancer. And my husband and my oldest daughter are literally the same person. We were having a conversation about this even last night talking about my husband was talking to her at dinner telling her like, it's crazy because you remind me so much of me whenever I was a kid. They have very similar personalities. They like the same things. They just want to stay home together and relax on the couch.
00:18:48
Speaker
and that is both of their personalities to a T. And then obviously with earth signs, this is going to be the greatest affinity for a Taurus is any of the other earth signs because there is that shared stability, practicality, and sensuality.
Taurus Compatibility with Other Signs
00:19:03
Speaker
And especially Taurus, two Taurus together, great match because they will likely enjoy the same comforts and same routines and they will get along so well. But also couldn't that be boring? I'm just saying. Wow. No, I'm just joking.
00:19:18
Speaker
I feel like that's a common theme though. With earth signs, we tend to be the best match with another of ourselves. It was the same with Capricorn, like two Capricorns, but also like any of the earth signs. With Virgo, it's the same two Virgos, but also any of the earth signs. That's how Aries was too, but I feel like Aries can be very polarizing. Two Aries together can work really well or it can be like a nightmare.
00:19:45
Speaker
So if you're coming into this season and you don't have Taurus placements and you're like, why am I even listening to this? This is why we're going to tell you how you can harness Taurus season.
00:19:55
Speaker
even if you don't have Taurus placements. So when the sun is in Taurus, we should be reminded to take a step back from the constantly draining hustle and prioritize our enjoyment of the present moment. This is the time to slow down, indulge our senses, and create a sense of wealth and abundance for ourselves rather than waiting for it to come to us. This is also the perfect season for self-care.
00:20:19
Speaker
Have a spa day, take a hot bath, meditate, take a nap, spend some time out in nature, getting fresh air and enjoying the sunshine. Whatever self care is for you, make time for it this season. Taurus season is the time to hold onto the smaller pleasures of life and to really harness the energy of this season. You should take this chance to center and ground yourself while connecting back to these small things that you really enjoy.
00:20:45
Speaker
This season is the perfect time to work on an ongoing project and for staying committed to your goals, your ideas, and your desires. Keep in mind that it's also the perfect season to lean into your stubborn side for good.
00:20:59
Speaker
And what I mean by this is like, don't let others tell you what to do or who to be, like use this time to just really like set those boundaries for yourself. Only you have the power to resist what you know is wrong for you. So like just put your foot down this season and defend what you know is right for you.
Self-Care and Boundaries in Taurus Season
00:21:17
Speaker
Because Taurus is ruled by Venus, this season is a great time to make physical connections.
00:21:22
Speaker
These connections can help deepen your relationship and strengthen your bond with like a loved one or a friend or whatever. The month of Taurus season is really good for all earth signs as this is the season that they are more likely to find inner happiness. Taurus in particular is more likely to find stability in terms of money and finances. Virgos and Capricorns need to brace their own energies this month and should not remain disconnected with everything so regularly.
00:21:51
Speaker
But use this season to be in touch with your friends and your family. The season is thought to be hard for Scorpios and Sagittarius because these two signs might find it hard to continue with repeating routines. Scorpios are thought to be out of their comfort zone and tourist season with it being a season of connection and they tend not to enjoy being surrounded by people. For Sagittarius, it's thought that they'll feel agitated with routines and their behavior might be like off because of that.
00:22:21
Speaker
And for all signs, this season will bring on a natural ability to forgive and forget past grievances. And then of course it wouldn't be a Zodiac episode without famous Taurus to end it. So some famous Taurus. Taurus's? Taurus I? Torian's? Torian's, I guess. Yeah. Some famous Torian's. We have Barbara Streisand, Henry Cavill, Cher, Adele, George Clooney, Rami Malek,
00:22:50
Speaker
Lizzo, Audrey Hepburn, Gal Gadot, David Beckham, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Robert Pattinson, John Cena, William Shakespeare, Kelly Clarkson, Gigi Hadid, Joe Curie, Renee Zellweger, Channing Tatum, Jessica Alba, Jerry Seinfeld, Tim McGraw, Ellie Kemper, Lily Allen, Danielle Fischl, Rosario Dawson, Kenan Thompson,
00:23:17
Speaker
Janet Jackson, Megan Fox, Tina Fey, Marshmello, Adina Menzel. And someone famous to our podcast, Michael Risky. Michael Risky. My husband. The tourist of my heart. Yeah. The only tourist that I know. I don't think I know any other tourist. Michael Risky is the only tourist in my life. Yes. Yeah. There's like a ton of people at my job.
00:23:47
Speaker
that do what I do that are Taurus, like most of our team is Taurus. And I'm like, really? That is crazy. That's crazy. Yeah, we have an overabundance of Taurus people. It's weird. But anyway, probably pretty. Yeah, they are pretty. Yeah, yes, they can definitely help with all those things. So I like that. But yeah, that's it. All right. The Torians. Yeah.
00:24:17
Speaker
That is the Torian's. Thank you for coming on this wild ride with us. Yeah, thanks for suffering though. This stubborn patient wild ride with littered with coffee. Coming through my coughing. Well, I think I was pretty good at muting. I don't think any coughing made it onto the podcast. I don't know. I heard all the coughing. I don't know if you muting worked. Interesting. We'll see when we listen back. It'll be a surprise. Can you hear me right now?
00:24:47
Speaker
Yeah. I'm literally muted. It says mute. That's weird. Maybe it's just, I can still, maybe it's muted from the recording. I don't know. I thought I was doing so good. I was like, mute. Cough, cough, cough. Yeah. It could be just, I'm still, I don't know what, I don't know. I'm not. I don't know. Maybe you guys are getting coughing. Maybe you're not. Who knows? I thought I was meeting myself this whole time. It'll be a surprise.
00:25:11
Speaker
My bee. Yeah, it's fine. It'll all work out. Good thing I was only like coughing and sniffling. Anywhere. Man, I thought I was like muting myself this whole time. I was like, I did great. But you might be, though. You're like, actually, no, you didn't. Yeah, I'm just like, I heard all the coughing. But I wonder if it's like, because like what would, like it's telling you that you're muted. Yeah. So that's weird. I don't know. That is weird. Hopefully it muted me. If not, my bee, guys. Yeah, it is what it is.
00:25:41
Speaker
We're just babies. We're learning. We're just babies. We're just babies. We're just like coughing through everything. Yeah. We're just sick. It's fine. Yeah. You can't help it. I did my best. Yeah. I didn't mean to be seized. Okay, bye. Bye. That's all she wrote.
