Taurus Season: From Power Struggle to Wake-Up Call
When the Sun enters Taurus on April 19, 2025, it does not bring the peace it so desires. Not yet. As the season begins, the Sun forms a tense T-square with Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius. The opposition between Mars and Pluto occurred in November and surged again in January. This is the final blow in that pattern. We know how it has, thus far, impacted us on a collective level; look at where we find ourselves. However, here we are looking at the more personal story for each of us.
Although this season starts with a struggle and a collapse, it ends with a wake-up call. On May 17, the Sun joins Uranus in Taurus. This is not subtle. We are jolted into wakefulness. We are shocked into awareness! Look around. What are you clinging to? What are you afraid of losing? Slow down enough to see what matters. Stop trying to power through. Simplify. Reclaim the ground beneath your feet before someone else tries to claim it for you.
That is the arc: breakdown to breakthrough. The point is not to bounce back. It is to clear space, slow down, and stabilize so something real, stable, and new can grow.
You will feel the fault lines during the first half of this season, both externally and internally. We will all witness relationships snapping as foundations crumble. Do not panic. Do your damndest not to cling. Remember that Taurus does not rush. It grounds. It gathers. It listens. It demands patience in the face of turmoil. And then it chooses what is worth holding onto, what is worth keeping.
We do not rebuild by force. We rebuild by tending the soil.
Aries: What Are You Holding Onto
Taurus season turns your attention to what you value: your money, your time, your self-respect, and your self-worth. The second house is about all your resources, not just financial ones.
This season does not begin quietly. Great tension plays out between what you create and what you share, between how you give of yourself and how you receive from community. You may feel pressure to give more than you want or to hold back more than you should.
Ask yourself what you are holding onto out of fear. What have you been giving because of habit or obligation? The shake-up near the end of the season will help you see what is true in this regard. You are learning what truly supports you. Which investments of money, energy, and love support your self-worth and your resources?
Taurus: Who You Have Become
With Taurus rising, this season is about you. Not who you were, but who you are becoming. The early stress lands in the tension between your roots and your ambitions, your private world and the image others have of you. You may feel pulled between showing up for what feels familiar and steady, and stretching into something larger that asks more of you.
You are changing. It might not be dramatic, but you can feel it. In your body, in your preferences, in what no longer fits. Sometimes the people around you see it first. They may treat you as if something has shifted, and they are not wrong.
This is a season to notice what you’ve outgrown. Let yourself catch up to the growth already happening inside you. Near the end of the season, something may open that confirms what you’ve sensed all along. You are not the same. It’s time to live as the person you’ve already started to become.
Gemini: Stillness Before the Shift
With Taurus in your twelfth house, this season asks you to slow down. Not because you are doing something wrong, but because something quieter is trying to get your attention. This is a time of inner sorting, of retreat, of letting certain pieces fall away so that others can come into view.
The tension that begins the season plays out between the urgency of communication and the need for perspective. You may feel overstimulated or pulled in too many directions, as if your thoughts are louder than your ability to voice them. It can be hard to know what you feel when your mind is racing. Let that be a signal to turn inward.
Near the end of the season, a realization may catch you off guard. Not because it is new, but because you are finally ready to look clearly into yourself and name it. Give yourself the space to listen below and beyond the noise. What emerges from that stillness will guide what comes next.
Cancer: What Belongs to You
Taurus season lights up your eleventh house, turning your focus to the people around you—your friends, your allies, and the future you hope to grow into. This is a house of connection, but also one of vision. It asks where you are headed and who is walking with you.
The tension that opens the season runs between the second and eighth houses. You find yourself weighing your needs against the expectations or entanglements of others. Your values, your money, your time. Their values, their needs, their claims. This is the place where boundaries get tested, especially if you have been giving more than you receive or holding back what you need. This is a good time to ask: What is mine to carry? What am I no longer willing to hand over, explain, or justify?
As the season winds down, the Sun meets Uranus in your eleventh house. A wake-up call of clarity may arrive about your place in the group, or who truly supports the direction you are trying to go. Let that insight guide you. This is a season for sorting out the difference between obligation and genuine connection, between shared resources and shared purpose.
Leo: Showing Up in a New Way
With Taurus in the tenth house, at the top of your chart, this season brings attention to your public life, reputation, and work in the world, the role you play outside of your intimate circle.
The season begins with tension between the first and seventh houses. This is the axis of self and other. Your desires and the direction you are heading may come into conflict with someone else's needs or expectations. You may feel the pressure to compromise or push back against it. Either way, this is not a time to go on autopilot in relationships. Ask yourself where your actions are coming from. Are you asserting your direction with clarity, or reacting from old patterns?
As the season closes, the Sun meets Uranus in your tenth house. A shake-up in your work, role, or public identity may invite you to show up in a new way. Even if it surprises you, it is likely pointing to something that has been building for a long while. The way you move through the world is evolving. Let it reflect the person you are becoming, not the one you used to be.
Virgo: The Way You See the World
Taurus season brings its energy to your ninth house, the place of perspective, meaning, and long-range vision. This is where you step back and consider the larger story of the world around you.
The season begins with great stress between your inner world and outer responsibilities. The sixth and twelfth houses are activated, asking you to find the balance between your routine life and your deeply hidden unconscious patterns. You may feel pulled between staying on task and tending to what is unresolved within your depths. Remember that some things simply need to be accepted. Let this be a time to notice where your efforts have become exhausting rather than meaningful.
By the end of the season, the Sun meets Uranus in your ninth house, and a shift in perspective arrives. This may come through travel, study, or an unexpected insight that reorients your sense of what matters. It is a wake-up call that helps you release beliefs or assumptions that have been holding you back. You are allowed to change your mind about what your life is for.
Libra: The Cost of What You Carry
Taurus season brings its focus to your eighth house, the place where you learn to navigate what belongs to others and what belongs to you. This is where boundaries are tested. You may notice the quiet ways you’ve taken on more than your share. Whether it’s emotional labor, financial entanglement, or a tendency to hold space for others without being met, something is asking to be addressed.
The early tension this season lives between the fifth and eleventh houses. You may feel stretched between how you give love and energy, and how or whether it comes back to you. The desire to be generous and expressive is strong, but it may not be fully supported by the community you need for support. Pay attention to what you’ve been offering out of habit or hope, especially if it is not being returned.
As the Sun reaches Uranus in your eighth house at the end of the season, something shifts as you receive your wake-up call. You may suddenly find yourself able to draw a boundary where one has long been missing. You may reclaim energy that has been quietly leaking away. Welcome the disruption and let it be instructive. You are not here to carry what others will not. You are here to choose what you give, and to know the value of your boundaries.
Scorpio: How You Meet the Other
Taurus season highlights your seventh house, the place of partnership and mutual commitment. This is where you meet the other, whether that is a spouse, a close friend, a collaborator, or someone who challenges your growth. The quality of your relationships is under review.
The season begins with tension between your public and private lives. You may feel pulled between showing up for family or home life and fulfilling responsibilities in the outer world. There can be pressure to succeed or perform even when something personal needs your attention. Let this be a time to notice which role feel authentic and which has started to wear you down. You are allowed to reevaluate where you expend your precious energy.
As the Sun meets Uranus in your seventh house at the end of the season, something in a key relationship shifts. A dynamic becomes clear, and something important is clarified. Whether it is a change in how you relate or a reminder of what you need, take it seriously. This is a time to get honest in a relationship, to move toward what is mutual, and to stop pretending that anything less is enough.
Sagittarius: What is Worth Your Attention
Taurus season brings its focus to your sixth house, the part of the chart that governs your work, your health, and the small systems that shape your days. This is where you examine how you spend your effort and whether your habits are helping you. Take stock of the daily tasks, commitments, and expectations that fill your time, and notice which ones truly support your well-being.
The early part of the season brings tension between the third and ninth houses. You may feel caught between the details of everyday life and a desire for broader meaning. The local may feel too small, the familiar too limiting. You may crave something bigger: new ideas, a shift in perspective, a change in your environment. At the same time, you may feel scattered by too many inputs or pulled in multiple directions. Notice what kind of information and communication is truly worth your attention.
As the Sun meets Uranus in your sixth house near the end of the season, something in your routine will shift. A surprise change in schedule, health, or work patterns may reveal where you've outgrown old systems. This is not about perfecting your habits. It is about aligning them with what matters now. Let the disruption clear space for more honest, supportive ways of living.
Capricorn: What You Are Willing to Share
Taurus season brings attention to your fifth house, the part of the chart that holds joy, creativity, romance, and self-expression. This is where you allow yourself to be seen without needing to prove anything. It’s a house that asks what you create when you are not trying to earn approval, and how fully you are willing to enjoy the life you are building.
The early tension in the season lives between the second and eighth houses. You may find yourself weighing your values against someone else’s needs or expectations.

This is a time to clarify what is truly yours and what you are no longer willing to give away without thought.
As the season comes to a close, the Sun meets Uranus in your fifth house. Something may break open in the way you love, create, or express yourself. This is a moment of clarity. Let it wake you up to the ways you’ve been holding back or waiting for permission. You do not need to be useful to shine. You are allowed to enjoy what brings you to life.
Aquarius: What Grounds You Now
Taurus season brings its focus to your fourth house, the part of the chart that speaks to home, family, ancestry, and the core of your being. This is where you settle in, where your foundations live. Whether you are tending your physical space or your emotional roots, this season asks you to reconnect with what truly makes you feel safe and supported.
The early tension in the season comes from the polarity between the first and seventh houses. Perhaps you have been focused on your own path, identity, and growth. But something in the realm of relationships may be pressing against that solitude, asking for engagement. This is a time to ask whether self-sufficiency has become a way to avoid connection. You are not being asked to abandon yourself, only to consider that others may be part of your evolution.
As the season closes, the Sun meets Uranus in your fourth house. Something at the base of your life may shift. This could be a change in your living situation, your home, or land. It could be a new understanding of family. Let changes happen.
Pisces: What You Are Ready to Say
Taurus season brings its focus to your third house, the place of communication, thought patterns, and everyday interactions. This part of the chart asks how clear is your voice, how well you are listening, and whether your ability to articulate reflects what is true. Small, seemingly insignificant conversations may carry more weight than you expect. Your voice has power.
The early tension of the season comes from the sixth and twelfth houses. You may feel a push to get your life in better order, to pay more attention to your routines, your health, or the structure of your days. At the same time, something deeper is being questioned. Unconscious patterns that have shaped your behavior or mindset throughout your lifetime are shifting. There may be insight coming from silent internal places or unexpected sources. This is a time to bring your awareness to both how well you listen to the internal voices and why you do things the way you do.
As the Sun meets Uranus in your third house near the end of the season, a deep wake-up call arrives. A conversation or piece of information shifts an old belief. You are not meant to keep everything inside. It is time to speak more plainly, to think more freely, and to trust that your voice is powerful and it matters.
