How to Experience a Fruitful Taurus Season
- Practice being mindful of your senses. Be almost sensual with the way you experience touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound.Take time to take in each stimulus you’re experiencing. Breathe through it. Close youR eyes. Let it linger.
- Spend time in nature in meditative ways. Do a walking meditation, do some gardening, lay out in the forest (Forest Bathing), or go Earthing (putting your bare feet directly on the ground). Try including a Green Moss Agate crystal into your nature practices (you can even bury it in your gardening).
- Do your best to not rush. Leave early so you’re not doing your make-up or texting in the car. Wake up 10 minutes earlier, plan your outfits and meals the night before. Take time to enjoy your commute, and rest as you arrive instead of getting there covered in sweat and stress.
- Treat yourself to comfort and luxury, especially while at home. Tauruses are classic homebodies but they truly love being at home and creating a homey space. Focus on art and aesthetics in a way you haven’t before. Bring in earthly elements. Just because you’re at home doesn’t mean you can’t look and feel beautiful and comfy! Swap out those stained, ripped, stretched out pajamas you wear after work for some new lounge wear in a super soft material, or even silk! See more tips on how to romanticize your life here.
- Do a spa day, even if it’s at home. Try getting really earthy with it, and check out a mud mask for your face or even different parts of your body. You can always throw in bubble baths, pedicures, exfoliating scrubs, hair masks, etc.
- Taurus rules the throat, so it’s important to use those vocal muscles this month! Humming is good for decreasing stress, believe it or not. And singing in the shower is just plain fun! You can also sing in the car with the windows down or sign up for karaoke. Try singing yourself a lullaby before you go to sleep. And definitely don’t forget to speak your truth.
- Practice your ability to compromise. Tauruses can be stubborn, and there’s nothing wrong with sticking to your morals, values, and speaking your truth, but sometimes when we step back from a situation we realize the best thing to do is to compromise in the long-term.
After fiery and action-packed Aries season, this is the time to rest and follow through with steady progress, settling down from the dynamicism from the previous season. This is where you wait for the seeds you planted to bloom.
