KnowTaurus Wknd Scope May 27 – 29, 2022
Taurus, you’re good. On Sunday, we collectively experience the meeting of Mars (planet of action) and Jupiter (planet of expansion), in the powerful sign of Aries. The fiery energy of this conjunction will begin to arise in the days before and continue to reverberate for days after – initiating us into a space of vitality, new paths and empowerment. Taurus, this ignition of energy may be the perfect signature to pull you out of any lethargy, boredom, or helplessness. Your ruler (Venus), is moving back home into your sign on Saturday – and for you, this will feel like beauty and magic is turned up a notch. You may start to feel more grounded and connected to your inner calm than you have for quite a while. The combination of earthy stability and fiery momentum will be the perfect energy for you to begin reflecting, dreaming, planning and taking action. We have the New Moon coming up soon – it’s time to think of what you’re calling in for manifestation.
MONTHLY HOROSCOPE
KnowTaurus May ’22 Scope
Key Themes: Creating your life your way, courage, movement
Taurus, this month invites you into a space of empowerment. You’ll be looking at the many elements that make up your life, then choosing what you need more of – and what needs to go. The powerful eclipse energy that surrounds your sign this month, means it’s a particularly potent and transformative time for you.
On May 2nd, your planetary ruler, Venus, enters the fiery sign of Aries, where it will remain until June 22nd. This initiates a more direct approach to life, as well as a kind of self-centeredness. Notice your reaction to that word, and whether it fills you with guilt or empowerment. That’s a good concept to start with, on your journey of embodying the divine right to prioritize your joy. These energies will be highlighted by Jupiter’s entry into Aries, on the 10th of May.
We collectively experience the famous Mercury retrograde on May 10th until June 3rd. While the realm of communication and mental processing is having a software update, it’ll be the perfect time for you to tune deeply into your body. Over these weeks, pay particular attention to the simple pleasures; sipping tea, the moment of deep comfort when your body hits your bed at night.
The Full Moon lunar eclipse in Scorpio May 16th is going to be a deep and transmutative time for you. Scorpio, which is your opposite zodiac sign, tends to reveal the hidden, deep and mysterious aspects of ourselves; including the ones that we want to suppress and pretend aren’t there. Taurus, the shadow side of your sign is an inability to move out of your comfort zone – to face the uncomfortable truths, because they often bring change.
This eclipse will be an invitation away from any such limiting patterns. Rather, the universe supports you in making radical shifts away from any negative, toxic or stagnant dynamics in your life. Your work here, involves leaning into the ‘discomfort’ of your life – being honest with yourself, about the intensity of what’s unfolding – so that it can be transmuted.
May 22nd sees Mercury retrograde shift into your sign, meaning you may experience some questioning around themes of identity… and this could heighten the above energies. But your remedy comes through with Mars entering Aries on May 24th. Here, you’re invited into a space of courage, empowerment and self-trust. You know what to do, and you do have the strength to do it.
The month will feel like it’s coming full circle with Venus’ entry into your sign May 28th, which is where it feels most at home. Life will slow down a bit, and the beauty in the little moments will feel deeper and richer than ever. Here, it’s worth remembering and honoring contrast. If you had never experienced turbulence, failure or heartbreak in your life – the moments of bliss, balance and joy could never feel so sweet.

About Taurus
Element: Earth
Mode: Fixed
Ruling Planet: Venus, the Planet of Love & Beauty
Where You’ll Find Them: Planting an epic garden, reading a novel, searching for food somewhere
What They Avoid: Small talk, unnecessary outings, and unexpected change
Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac, is symbolized by The Bull. True to its symbol, Taurus is stubborn and inflexible, but also very loyal and self-aware. Taurus is all about security and practicality. They’re the type of person who can remain grounded and solution-oriented. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the Planet of Connection, and is therefore prone to seeking comfort and indulgence. Since Taurus is a sign of extremes — they vacillate between feeling very motivated and productive to feeling sluggish or complacent. As an Earth sign, Taurus benefits from spending time in nature and connecting with the world around them rather than getting lost in the material world.
Taurus is independent and loves their solitude. Professionally, they’d like a career that allows them to call the shots from behind-the-scenes. Taurus prefers working on their own rather than in a big group — they don’t like having to take direction from others. Many Taurus will end up owning their own business or working from home for this reason. Taurus is also a natural artist, but they sometimes hesitate to fully tap into that side of them because they don’t think it will be as financially secure. The ironic part is that if Taurus invests their self wholeheartedly in what they’re truly passionate about, the money and success often follows.
Taurus must learn to control their anger, because while it takes them a while to really get angry, when they do it’s not pretty. Taurus tends to hold a lot of their true self in, and this can make them hard to get to know. But once a Taurus lets you into their life, you see a side of them they rarely show anyone else. Stay on a Taurus’ good side and you’ll have a loyal friend for life. Taurus cares deeply about their friends and family and will go above and beyond for their well-being, but you have to be deserving of that energy first. Taurus has exceptionally high standards and expectations.
Being ruled by Venus makes Taurus one of the most sensual, romantic signs of the zodiac. But you wouldn’t necessarily know that upon first glance because there is a deeply guarded side to Taurus. They’re cautious of letting new people into their lives, so it will take a very patient and special person to unlock the key to Taurus’ heart and have them let down their guard. Taurus commits to those they love in an intense, often possessive way, so getting in a relationship with a Taurus is not for the faint of heart. You’re either in or you’re out with Taurus — no in-between.
