In Renaissance Astrology, Mars is Scorpio's planetary ruler. Mars is the planet of action, aggression, combat, energy, passion, sex, and war. Mars governs Scorpio's relentlessly driven spirit and carnal desires, whereas Pluto (modern planetary co-ruler) gifts Scorpio with its deeply psychic abilities and obsessive passion.
OVERVIEW
Welcome to Taurus Season. What began to grow and unfolded during Aries Season, is coming together now in Taurus. That which was separated is now united, in a cradle of harmony (the glyph for Taurus). Taurus Season is our container/structure for gentle refinement, development, grounding and unfolding.
Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac. Ruled by earth, Taurus teaches us to ground ourselves and build and invest skill-sets that will support us in our journey.
Our collective focus for Taurus Season is to nurture our self, and self-esteem - to build a strong foundation towards abundance - to enjoy all that life has to offer.
Taurus Season Light & Shadow
Un-evolved Taurus energy can be stubborn, incredibly resistant to change, overly materialistic. Without a connection to Spirit, un-evolved Taurus energy can have a lack of self-worth, need mindset, possessive of other people as well as their own possessions.. At the high end, evolved Taurus energy expresses as loyal, grounded, calm, focused, peaceful, artistic, nurturing, abundant, harmonious, stable.
Light / Strength: loyal, grounded, calm, focused, peaceful, artistic, nurturing, abundant.
Shadow / Weakness: materialistic, lack of self-worth, need mindset, possessive, greedy.
Taurus Sun & Scorpio Full Moon
Each Zodiac Season highlights the full moon and season sun polarities. During Taurus season we will be exploring the polarity between grounded Taurus and magnetic Scorpio. Taurus teaches us about money, talent values, and self-worth. Scorpio teaches us about loss, unknown, other people’s money, and obsession. With the focus on these two natural oppositions, the themes we are working through are love vs. obsession, inner resources vs. outer resources, debt vs. abundance, sensual femininity vs. intimate sexuality, groundedness vs. the unknown, wickedness vs. beauty, trauma vs. nurturance. Of course, these polarities are only a few of the themes that might arise now.

If you are one of the many experiencing a time of lack, focus on what resources you do have, and how you can magnify and best utilize them. Taurus teaches us to value ourselves and increase our self-worth and self-esteem. The teachings of Taurus are embedded in self-worth. I am an alchemist. I can transform my inner wealth to external material wealth.
