Happy Taurus season and Happy Pluto in Retrograde! We know Pluto in Retrograde sounds daunting, but we will break it down for you so you can enjoy and fully understand this period of reflection and transformation. But first, let’s give all the fellow Taureans some appreciation for their season. 

Taurus is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. This means that Taurus can be stubborn and materialistic at their worst, but reliable and productive at their best. Taurus, you are all about finding stability in your life, constantly looking for it in relationships, your work life or material objects. Some advice for this season and for the rest of the signs is to find the stability in yourself. Give yourself some time to realize that you are all you need with some self-love and self-care. Taurus, you tend to jampack your schedule with things to do so you don’t have to turn in on the instability in yourself. Unfortunately, we are all stuck at home, but one way to keep being productive (just like we all know you Taureans are great at) is to work on yourself.

This working on yourself also ties into Pluto in Retrograde, which began on April 25, 2020, and will last until October 4, 2020. Pluto in Retrograde allows us to introspect and change the parts of ourselves that we are not proud of. Pluto is the planet of darkness, taboo and the parts of ourselves that we tend to hide. When Pluto is in retrograde, this allows us to spin these darker parts of ourselves and transform them into something better.


Use this time to hone in on your own personal growth. This retrograde happens once a year, and unlike Mercury in Retrograde, is an opportunity to help yourself flourish and face the darker sides of yourself. For those who push the negative parts of their personality away, use this retrograde to reflect and face all aspects of your personality. 

 

Don’t run away from yourself! Embrace all aspects of who you are and thrive this season!
