As your ruler Venus is already one-third of the way through its transit in Virgo, we can expect our relationships to be taking on a more grounded and consistent energy. A caveat of this transit is that it’s important to not get so caught up in what’s practical or seems safe that we play it too small. Taurus, this fresh start to the way you expand and seek adventure may lead to long-term partnerships along your path. If you’ve been someone who can be a bit prideful or stubborn when establishing new connections with people, Mercury Retrograde’s shift back into Leo will help loosen up those areas in yourself, which means more genuine connection and collaboration advance.
