The season of the luxury-loving, down-to-earth sign brings more pleasure, beauty, and determination.
As we move deeper into a time of year marked by warmer, brighter, longer days, it’s hard to ignore the mood is shifting toward full-on spring fever. You might attribute that to the fact that you’re no longer in hibernation mode, but it’s also thanks to Taurus season, the time of year when the sun moves through the second sign of the zodiac, the fixed earth sign symbolized by the Bull. Taurus season occurs every year from about April 19-20 to May 20-21. In 2025 specifically, it takes place from April 19 to May 20.
Ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, money, and relationships, Taurus is known for its ability to soak up the moment, celebrate everyday pleasures, and revel in anything that’s aesthetically appealing, comfortable, cozy, and sensual. In turn, Taurus season can be a deeply fulfilling opportunity to slow down and step up your self-care game—something that, in 2025, will feel especially rejuvenating following Pisces and Aries seasons that were riddled with head-spinning retrogrades and life-altering eclipses. Here’s what to know as you move into this gratifying month.
Taurus season brings grounding energy and connection.
When the sun moves through Taurus, which happens annually for about four weeks, you can expect to be, like the earth sign, more grounded, pragmatic, and resolute—and potentially also a bit more obstinate. While you might be capable of sticking with a practical step-by-step game plan for achieving a goal, it’s possible you’ll have a harder time pivoting from one strategy to the next when necessary. That’s because the sign of the Bull is the fixed earth sign, and the fixed signs tend to dig their heels in—for better or worse.
Given Taurus’ Venusian rulership, the earth sign is also innately appreciative of everything artistic, romantic, and luxurious. That said, this is an annual moment for refining your wardrobe, exploring fragrances in order to pinpoint a new signature scent, or even exploring a new creative outlet, like singing (Taurus rules the vocal cords). And retail therapy is even more of a thing right now, given Taurus is associated with the Second House of Income and Material Possessions.
Venus’ influence means that this time of year lends itself to nurturing your relationships, especially in a slow, steady way. Think: taking a time-out from the daily grind to enjoy languorous lovemaking with lots of foreplay with your S.O. or booking a spa day with a couple of your closest friends. And should you face a conflict with one of your nearest and dearest, you might be less likely to lose your cool right away, given that Taurus has a notably long fuse.
It offers a chance to slow down.
Especially on the heels of fiery, go-getter Aries season, Taurus season can feel like an opportunity to catch your breath. Just as Aries is known for being eternally speedy, the fixed earth sign is notoriously slow-paced, so the time when the sun moves through the patient, loyal, and heartfelt sign can be your opportunity to ground yourself. We’re reminded of the joy of being in the moment and spending time with people who truly know and understand us because they’ve been in our lives for years and years. And if you find yourself wanting to spend more time lazing in bed, enjoying a steamy hot shower, or reading in a park with your feet in the grass, that’s precisely in line with the mindful, pleasure-seeking vibes of Taurus season.
What Taurus season means for each zodiac sign.
Aries
Activating your second house of income, Taurus season turns your attention to your bottom line. You’ll be eager to work on stepping up your self-worth, clarifying your values, and parlaying self-awareness around all of this toward your moneymaking game plans. If you’ve been wanting to make any major, big-ticket item purchases, you’ll be motivated to move forward on that now, as well, and good news, with money-savvy Venus’ six-week retrograde over since April 12, you’ll feel more confident about spending—and earning.
Taurus
Your season is now in full swing, Taurus! Thanks to the sun moving through your sign and first house of self, you could feel called to step into the spotlight, to share your most passionate ideas, to be more assertive, and maybe to even tweak your personal style. You’ll be more cognizant of how you want to show up in the world — and capable of making adjustments to make the impression you’ve been dreaming of.
Gemini
You tend to be super-social and eager to hit the road at a moment’s notice, but don’t be surprised if you’re feeling a bit more withdrawn and private than usual, given that the sun is now in your twelfth house of spirituality. This energy could see you wanting to add more solo time, self-reflection, therapy, and rejuvenating activities (like meditation or journaling) to your routine. While slowing down may not be as innate for you as flitting from one thing to the next and connecting with others, resting—and dreaming—more now will serve you well ahead of your own season which is on the horizon.
Cancer
With Taurus season lighting up your eleventh house of friendships, you’ll be eager to lend your skills to a group endeavor or community effort. Feeling like a part of something bigger than yourself can lead to a sense of connectedness that’s irresistible and truly heartening. This sector is also dedicated to long-term wishes, so know that you also have the ability now to lean on friends or colleagues to make strides on your loftiest and perhaps most long held aspirations. You’re reminded that your desires matter, and around May 12, when the full moon falls in your fifth house of romance, it’ll be especially important to check in with your heart and let it lead the way.
Leo
With your ruler, the confident sun, moving through your tenth house of career now, this season was made for getting clear on your definition of success, stepping into a greater position of leadership, and making your mark in the public eye. That probably sounds like music to your ears as a spotlight-loving Leo, and you can—and should—revel in it. Around April 27, when the new moon is there, too, consider pinpointing a specific goal tied to earning recognition and taking on more responsibility.
Virgo
Following a string of seasons in which the energy is so different from your own, this earth sign-ruled season can’t help but feel like getting wrapped up in a warm, fuzzy blanket, and yet, you’re apt to be more restless now, because the sun is in your ninth house of higher learning and adventure. You’ll want to shake up that everyday routine you’re proudly, perpetually refining. From May 10 to 25, Mercury, your ruling planet, joins the party, and you can research a horizon-broadening long-distance trip or actually hit the road with your S.O. or friends, setting the stage for core memories.
Libra
The last month has been full of drama and wild shake ups, especially with an eclipse that hit you more than other signs, but as the sun moves through your eighth house of intimacy, you’ll feel empowered and centered—especially when you dedicate more time and energy toward your closest bonds. In fact, if you want to feel your best this time of year, you’ll do well to avoid superficial interactions and focus on being more emotionally vulnerable. You could also make applause-worthy strides on financial aspirations you share with a close friend or S.O.
Scorpio
Taurus season turns your focus to your one-on-one relationships — professional, platonic, and romantic — because the sun is in your seventh house of partnerships. You’ll not only feel more like pursuing shared goals, but this time of year lays the groundwork for making noteworthy progress on anything you’ve been aiming toward as part of a pair. If you’ve been having a disagreement with a friend, lover, or colleague, you can also negotiate or mediate your way to more harmony now. But given the fixed energy of the season — especially when the full moon falls in your sign on May 12 — just watch out for the tendency to be more obstinate than usual.
Sagittarius
Activating your sixth house of wellness and daily routine, Taurus season clears your path to finding more balance and vitality within your everyday hustle. You could be empowered to say “no” to to-dos that you’ve simply put your head down and tackled as a habit or to address a pattern that’s not doing your health any favors (like missing out on solid sleep or struggling with staying properly hydrated). This is also the final season that your ruler, lucky Jupiter, will be in your seventh house of partnership, so capitalize on that by declaring your needs within your one-on-one bonds.
Capricorn
As the sun moves through your fifth house of romance during Taurus season, you’ll enjoy a surge of creative, self-expressive, fun-loving, playful energy that you probably deserve more than you realize. This is an annual moment that is ripe for tapping into your artistic impulses, tuning into your heart, and being more spontaneous. Around April 27, when the new moon is in this sector, consider sharing your desires with someone special, which could set the stage for launching a more fulfilling era in your relationship.
Aquarius
Taurus season can bolster your confidence around caring for your inner, emotional world and relationships with relatives, because the sun is in your fourth house of home life. It’s not in your nature to swim in the deep end of your feelings, but now, you could actually be compelled to prioritize self-work, finding it enlightening and revitalizing. Making a point to enjoy even more quality downtime with loved ones and/or time tending to and decorating your space (maybe adding plants) also does wonders for your joy, sense of purpose, and sense of peace.
Pisces
As the sun moves through your third house of communication during Taurus season, your social life will get even busier and more satisfying. Your cerebral energy soars, and you’ll crave learning experiences, especially shared with friends and colleagues. This is your moment for leading a brilliant brainstorm or planning a memorable party. And because this sector also oversees short-distance travel, you could be inspired to take a road trip—potentially around May 12 when the full moon in your ninth house of higher learning leads to a wave of restless, adventure-seeking energy.
