The Sun continues to radiate on you, instilling a sense of prosperity and security that allows you to have room to grow as this Spring season continues to stretch until the end of this month.
Ask yourself when the last time you took an inventory of your life was, letting go of gunk that slows you down as you continue to take in new experiences and wisdom, so you can grow into the most authentic version of yourself. Being grounded in your growth journey is about creating a foundation that is safe and reliable to start from, almost like a checkpoint in a game. Where do you find your footing so you can bounce back when you fall? May, transitioning from the Earthy energy of Taurus to the Airy energy of Gemini, is a call to reflect on the structures of your life through a lens of curiosity and care.
Taurus Season continues on until the 20th of May, inviting you to look to your home as a foundation for your life. The goal is to create a comfortable and grounded environment within yourself so that you always have a sanctuary to step into when you are in a space you cannot change. What about your private space feels safe and rejuvenating, and how can you bring that forward in other aspects of your life? Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and governs over the 2nd House of material resources and values. The influence of this fixed Earth sign is an opportunity to question where your values lie and what resources you have that provide that groundedness in your life. Taurus is known for their stubbornness and their advocate for the importance of comfort. Ask yourself this month how your life could be more comfortable so you can focus on more pressing issues.
Later in the month (May 20th), the Sun enters the Mercury-ruled Air sign, Gemini. This sign is fast-paced and can change their mood at the drop of a dime, easily meshing into the needs of their environment. Gemini, being ruled by Mercury, creates an inquisitive nature that emboldens a thirst for knowledge. As you enter into the energy of this Mutable sign, from the more rigid energy of Taurus this month, embrace Gemini's curious, free-flowing nature and ask "why" questions. Be curious about the roots of your natures and the reasoning behind your values, so you can better prepare yourself for your growth journey. Take this time to learn more about yourself, your environment, and the impact the outside world has on you internally.
