On April 19th, the Sun will leave the action-packed, energetic sign of Aries for stable, practical Taurus. A fixed, earth signed, ruled by Venus, the image of the Bull, should be more “Ferdinand”, less “china shop”. In Taurus, it is now time to stabilize that Big Bang of exploding life force that began in Aries and secure its sure, steady growth. Without the grounding counter-balance, the new life energy would soon burn itself out after all that volatile, fiery exuberance. Taurus is our basic sense of worth, in the broadest meaning of the word; our material worth, as well as our internal self-worth. It is our values: what we consider worth the price, both literally or/and figuratively.
