As the Sun transitions into Taurus on April 21st, we are beckoned into the tranquil domain of the celestial cow—or bull, depending on your preference. Contrary to popular misconceptions, cows and bulls are far from being lazy, aggressive, or dim-witted creatures. In fact, they embody qualities of confidence, strength, and intelligence, mirroring the essence of Taurus energy.
Often overshadowed by its reputation for stubbornness, Taurus energy is much more than meets the eye.Â
As the fixed earth sign, Taurus serves as an unwavering anchor, steadfastly grounding the season—Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and Autumn in the Southern. Like the cow in its various phases of life, Taurean energy is deeply attuned to life's pleasures and comforts. The steadfast refusal to relinquish these joys, even in the face of external pressures, often earn them the label of stubbornness.
Our world dictates conformity via status quo, social norms, and peer pressure. Stubbornness gets framed as a flaw, when it can be a virtue.Â
Taurus energy, though, serves as a beacon of resilience, fiercely guarding against disruptions, unwanted intrusions, and unwarranted sacrifices that often only profit others. Much like the protective shield of the celestial cow, Taurus energy safeguards activities and energies that provide comfort, joy, and value in an unsettled and tumultuous reality.
Cows and Taurus energy cultivate a sense of unwavering determination and resolve. By channeling the steadfast qualities of the celestial cow, we can navigate life's uncertainties with grace and resilience, finding solace in the stability of solid ground that we create and guard.
