Taurus Season......and...exhale

TAURUS SEASON 2025:

Taurus is so much more than comfort and pleasure. In evolutionary astrology, it teaches us embodiment. It asks: Are you anchored in your values? Can you create security from within? Can you tend to your nervous system and listen to your body, not just your mind?

It’s about taking everything that Aries sparked—ideas, vision, instinct—and grounding it into form. It’s a return to the basics: breath, body, stability, and enoughness.

We remember that we are here—incarnated on this Earth—not just to transcend, but to be here. To feel. To build.

Although Taurus brings grounding energy, it won’t all feel like peace and petals. The season kicks off with some heat:

• April 26 – Mars in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius. This is a potent clash of egos, willpower, and power dynamics. On a global scale, it could inflame tensions or bring control issues to the surface. Personally, notice how you react to pressure or pushback. Can you stay anchored in your truth without exploding?

• April 28 – The New Moon in Taurus squares both Mars and Pluto. This brings intensity to new beginnings. What do you really want to create—and what old fears, power struggles or buried impulses need to be cleared first?

• May 1 – Venus re-enters Aries, bringing boldness to love, money, and desire. After her recent retrograde, we’ve hopefully gained wisdom. Now, we’re ready to move forward—but with more clarity around what (and who) is truly aligned.

• May 4 – Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius. Themes of power, control, collective systems, and shadow work will re-emerge, especially if you have planets in the early degrees of fixed signs.

• May 5 – Mercury enters Taurus, helping to slow the mind and bring communication back to something real, practical, and tangible.

• May 13 – The Full Moon in Scorpio highlights the polarity between holding on and letting go. Taurus wants stability; Scorpio demands transformation. It’s time to release the emotional entanglements or fears that keep us from inner peace.

What This Season is Asking of Us

With so much energetic intensity swirling beneath the surface, Taurus season is asking us to ground more deeply than ever before. We are being called to:

• Come back to our bodies. To our breath. To the simplicity of being alive.

• Anchor ourselves in our true values—what matters to us now, not last year or last decade.

• Create inner stability before chasing external certainty.

• Practice nervous system regulation and conscious embodiment so we can meet the world from a resourced place.

• Pause before reacting. Let things integrate. Let the dust settle.

This season is where we shift from running on adrenaline to building something sustainable—from fiery motion to intentional momentum.

How to Work With This Season

Personally:

• Slow down. Tend to your nervous system with grounding rituals, rest, and sensory nourishment.

• Revisit your values. Are your actions aligned with them?

• Build supportive routines that prioritise stability over perfection.

• Reflect on what needs to be released emotionally during the Scorpio Full Moon.

Collectively:

• Watch for power struggles—both within yourself and in the wider world.

• Choose substance over spectacle.

• Use this season to commit to building a better future—not just reacting to the present.

Aries Season- A Bold New Cycle Begins

Aries season kicks off with the March 20th Equinox, the moment when day and night are in perfect balance. Light either wanes, as it will for us in the Southenr hemisphere as we descend into Winter or beiging to brighten and herald the time of new beginnings in the Northern Hemisheres

However, as the Sun enters Aries, it does so under interesting skies. Mercury and Venus are still retrograde,( for now at least) and  Mars (the ruler of Aries) lingers in Cancer, and Neptune teeters at the very last degree of Pisces before making its monumental shift into Aries at the end of March . The usual Aries charge forward is tempered, to start with at least.  This isn’t an Aries season where we hit the ground running,  instead, we’re being asked to pause, reflect, and reimagine what our Aries energy will look like moving forward as none of us have ever experienced an Aries season the like of which is coming this year.

Neptune Moves into Aries: The Dawn of a New Era

One of the most defining moments of this Aries season is Neptune’s transition from Pisces to Aries on March 30th. This is no small shift—Neptune takes 165 years to circle the zodiac, meaning the last time Neptune entered Aries was in 1861. This planetary movement marks a profound collective change, a shift from Piscean idealism, dreams, and spiritual surrender into Aries’ raw drive, courage, and pioneering spirit.

For those of us with strong Pisces placements, this marks the beginning of a transformation. We’ve had both Neptune and Saturn moving through Pisces, deepening our connection to spirituality, dissolving illusions, and pushing us through some serious existential reckonings. Now, as Neptune crosses into Aries, it calls us into embodied action—to take what we’ve learned in the ethereal realm and apply it in the real world.

At its best, Neptune in Aries inspires spiritual warriors, brave visionaries, and passionate leaders who act from a place of higher awareness. At its lowest, it can manifest as conflicts driven by ideology, misguided crusades, and idealism without wisdom. This is the beginning of an era where we are asked to align our highest dreams with real-world action. No more sitting on the sidelines. What will you fight for? What will you create? I will be writing more about this separately but this is a very important beginning marked by this Aries season

Adding another layer to this season, Venus retrograde slips back into Pisces on March 27th, offering a dreamy, nostalgic, and reflective period around love, values, and finances.

Venus retrograde in Pisces asks us to revisit our deepest desires, our fantasies, and where we may have been deceiving ourselves in love. It may have us reflecting on just how we do endings in general , do we linger, being sentimental and pining for what once was or are we able to let go and move on?  These themes might play a significant role during this Aries Season.

This is a time to reflect, reimagine, and refine our understanding of what truly fulfills us. Venus will turn direct on April 12th, and bring more clarity to our love lives, what we value and our relationship with our own self worth and our finances.

The Aries Solar Eclipse (March 29th): A Cosmic Reset

As if that wasn’t enough, Aries season brings with it a powerful Solar Eclipse on March 29th, marking a profound new beginning. Eclipses tend to bring sudden shifts, revelations, and fast-tracked transformations. This Aries eclipse highlights themes of self-assertion, courage, and independence, but with Mercury still retrograde and Neptune on the verge of shifting, there’s a deep undercurrent of re-evaluation.

This eclipse is a cosmic nudge (or shove) toward authenticity. Where have you been holding yourself back? Where are you ready to take the leap? Expect revelations around personal power, self-mastery, and where you need to be bolder in claiming your truth.

Mercury retrograde in Aries moves back into Pisces on March 29th, blurring the lines between logic and intuition. Decision-making may feel murky, and communication can carry an extra dose of nostalgia or confusion. But Mercury turns direct on April 7th, and by April 16th, Mercury re-enters Aries in direct motion, finally clearing the fog and allowing us to move forward with clarity.

Full Moon in Libra (April 13th): The Relationship Reckoning

Opposing the Aries Sun, the Full Moon in Libra on April 13th brings relationship themes to the forefront. Aries is about the self our autonomy, desires, and courage while Libra focuses on the other, harmony, and compromise. This Full Moon illuminates where we need balance in our relationships. Are you asserting yourself too much? Or are you giving too much away? Expect heightened emotions, relationship revelations, and a deeper understanding of what fairness means to you.

Finally, after an extended journey through emotionally charged Cancer, Mars moves into fiery Leo on April 18th, reigniting passion, confidence, and bold action. With Aries season wrapping up, this shift brings a welcome return to courageous leadership, creative expression, and the motivation to act on our desires without hesitation.

After all this action, energy shifts as the Sun enters Taurus on April 20th, reminding us to slow down, integrate, and build stability. Taurus season asks us to ground our Aries-season dreams into tangible reality—to take those bold new steps and make them sustainable.

This is no ordinary Aries season. With Venus and Mercury retrograde, Neptune shifting signs, a Solar Eclipse, and Mars moving signs, it’s a time of deep reflection and recalibration. Aries asks us to charge ahead, but this season reminds us that clarity comes in waves. Before we launch forward, we must first ensure we are truly aligned with what we are pursuing.

Pisces New Moon- The beginning and the end all at once

I always find myself thinking deeply about Pisces energy during Pisces season, perhaps because of the impact it has on me as my  Pisces Ascendant, and especially now, with this New Moon at 9 degrees Pisces sitting directly on it. Trying to articulate the essence of Pisces is never easy and we are about to get a lot of it come flooding in. It is the most elusive of energies, mystical, fluid, and hard to define. Pisces has an incredible ability to attract and draw in energy, to weave an intricate web of connection, yet it can also be nebulous, confusing, and even contradictory. The symbol of Pisces, the two fish swimming in opposite directions perfectly captures this duality. This energy can flow upstream, downstream, or, in its mutable nature, attempt to do both at once. This New Moon in Pisces may feel very much like that an ebb and flow, a push and pull, a moment of quiet surrender before the next wave of motion.

On February 28 at 11:44 AM (AET), we arrive at the final New Moon of the astrological year. This is no ordinary New Moon. Sitting at 9 degrees of Pisces, it carries potent significance, ushering us into eclipse season and occurring within a rare window where all planets are in direct motion and A LOT of them are in the sign of Pisces.  This alignment might feel intense, deep yet it also is an opportunity for some  clarity and momentum, an opportunity to set intentions before we transition into a retrograde-heavy period with Venus and Mercury soon slowing down. Yet, Pisces reminds us that endings are just as important as beginnings. So while we are invited to dream forward, we must also reflect: What emotions, beliefs, or patterns are we ready to release before we step into the new astrological year? How have our spiritual insights evolved over the past twelve months?

This New Moon is a rare and extraordinary concentration of Pisces energy, one we will not experience again in this form. With both Neptune, Pisces' ruler, and Saturn still in this sign, we are witnessing the culmination of a deeply introspective and spiritually significant cycle. Neptune and Saturn will soon depart for Aries, marking the end of this era and this New Moon  acts as a threshold, a closing chapter before a bold new beginning. Though New Moons traditionally symbolise fresh starts, this one carries the weight of both endings and rebirth. What is dissolving in order to make way for something new?

The emotional undercurrents of this New Moon may feel vast and all-encompassing. The Sun and Moon in Pisces form a trine to Mars in Cancer, offering emotional courage and inner strength. Yet, a square to Jupiter—Pisces’ modern ruler—magnifies everything, stretching emotions to oceanic proportions. Neptune’s conjunction with the North Node deepens the mystical and fated quality of this moment, while Saturn and Mercury align, urging us to seek clarity amidst the Piscean fog. Dreams may be especially vivid, filled with messages from the subconscious. Intuition is heightened. Synchronicities are more frequent. This is a time to pay attention—to dreams that linger, to signs that nudge, to whispers of insight that seem to come from nowhere. What is being revealed to you?

The Lunar Nodes have now fully settled into the Pisces-Virgo axis, and as we move toward the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 14, we are invited to stay present with the unfolding. The time between this New Moon and the eclipse is a liminal space—one foot in the past, the other reaching toward the future. What new chapter might we now be preparing for?

Pisces is the sign that teaches us the art of surrender. It reminds us that we cannot control everything and that sometimes, the most powerful choice is to soften our grip. This New Moon—and the upcoming eclipse—asks us to embrace the flow rather than resist it. Can we trust in the unseen forces at work? Can we cultivate a sense of ease in uncertainty? Rather than forcing our way forward, this is a moment to pause, breathe, and allow life to move through us.

As the final sign of the zodiac, Pisces invites us to release the old, to dissolve what no longer serves us, and to create space for what is to come. Soon, we will be propelled into Aries’ fiery initiation, ready for action. But for now, we dream. We reflect. We align with our soul’s path—not through force, but through deep inner knowing. What dreams, visions, or inspirations are surfacing? How can we nurture them? What inner wisdom is asking to be honored?

Trust in what is dissolving. Trust in what is emerging. And most of all, trust in the unseen magic that Pisces so effortlessly weaves.
