Venus enters Taurus: Slow Down and Tune in

Venus in Taurus: Grounding into the Body

In Astrology, Venus correlates with themes of love and romance, with how we attract and we magnetize what we desire to us, with our taste, with what we like and enjoy, what we find attractive and pleasurable. She correlates to our relationship with abundance and to our ability to receive abundance, enjoy wealth, and meet our financial needs. Additionally, Venus is associated with what we value and how we value ourselves: she is the planet connected to our self-worth and self-esteem.

An Earth, Fixed sign, Taurus is all about grounding in the body and fully inhabiting our physical vessel. It is connected with matter and flesh, with everything tangible and substantial.  Taurus, similarly to Venus, is associated with our capacity to create a foundation for our life that guarantees survival, hence to money, material possessions, and the resources that generate a stable and secure basis for us to thrive upon. Because of its link to survival, Taurus is connected to the physical need for procreation and, consequently, to sexuality.

This transit is an opportunity to choose self-love as the foundation for all our decisions, particularly in terms of relationships, and commit to loving ourselves as we wish to be loved by another.
