Taurus Season: Where Comfort is Sacred and Coffee is Strong

Some of my closest friends are Tauruses—and if you've ever had the pleasure of eating with one, you know what I mean when I say they do not let you leave hungry. In the very best way, they stuff your face with theirs. With joy. With generosity. With the kind of food you didn't know you needed until it was already making you feel deeply, beautifully at home.
I recently spent a quiet morning at one of their homes. We slept in a little. We had perfect coffee and warm food and watched birds from the window. It reminded me that Taurus season doesn't ask us to hustle. It invites us to pause—to take a breath, feel the sun, and listen to the small sounds of the world that tell us we're okay.

I'm still relatively new to astrology, but I've enjoyed learning from some brilliant minds. One of them is Heidi Rose Robbins, whose daily Moon Note posts and poems always bring light and encouragement. What I appreciate most about her work is how she reminds us that each sign holds wisdom for all of us. You can still embody its energy even if it's not your sun sign. That's how I've come to understand it: Taurus season is an invitation to explore the Taurus within.

Why You Always Want to Be Invited to a Taurus' House

Because they know how to host, they make things beautiful without fuss. They want you to feel pleasure—real, lasting, earthy pleasure. The food will be delicious, the ambiance warm, the conversation gentle and real. You'll laugh, you'll probably nap, and you'll leave with leftovers.
Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and art, Taurus is all about the senses. It's about how things feel. As astrologer Jeff Hinshaw of Cosmic Cousins puts it, "Taurus is where the soul comes to land in the body."

It's about slowing down and feeling what's real. And as Chani Nicholas writes:
"Taurus teaches patience as a virtue. If we are ever to savor the sweetness of a grape left long-enough on the vine, we need copious amounts of it. This is a sign famous for its enjoyment of simple pleasures, quality, and craft. You cannot rush getting something right."
— Chani Nicholas

That's the kind of wisdom Taurus season brings: the beauty of tending, tasting, building, and trusting that slow is sacred.

The Bull in the Sky and the Myths Behind the Sign

Taurus is one of the oldest-known constellations, prominent in the winter sky. It rests between Aries and Gemini, with the bright red star Aldebaran—often called the Bull's Eye—glowing in its heart. The constellation's horns stretch westward, and nearby, you'll find the Pleiades, the famous Seven Sisters cluster known across many cultures as a symbol of divine feminine power.

In mythology, Taurus is linked to the story of Zeus and Europa—where the king of the gods transformed himself into a majestic white bull to carry off the Phoenician princess. Whether you see that tale as romance or a cautionary myth, it adds complexity and mythic weight to the sign's strength and allure.

Astrologically, Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, the second in the zodiac. Where Aries initiates, Taurus roots down. It stabilizes. It nurtures. The Taurus mantra is "I Have"—not in a possessive way, but in a grounded, grateful one. It's about creating something lasting, something worth holding.

Symbols to Honor the Taurus Within

This month, we're featuring two handcrafted pieces to honor the essence of the Bull:

The Taurus Medallion: Anchored in both astrological and mythological tradition, this medallion honors the strength and legacy of Taurus energy—deep roots, strong shoulders, and a generous heart.

The Bull Necklace: A bold design representing both the earthly power and mythic history of the Bull. It's a tribute to those who build slowly and love deeply.

Whether you are a Taurus, love a Taurus, or are simply feeling the pull to slow down and settle into the beauty of this season, these symbols are meant to ground you in comfort, connection, and craft.

The keywords for Taurus are "I HAVE."
