May 16, 2023 — Jupiter moves into Taurus on Tuesday, sparking a major energetic shift and one of the most significant transits of the year. The planet of gold light is moving into the sign of decadence. Spring’s flowers and the beauty of Earth and our bodies are now overflowing with abundance as we step into more ease and enjoyment. 

This shift may feel like a relief, especially after the complication of eclipse season. The Scorpio South Node Lunar Eclipse on May 5 opened the portal to our deepest pains, shadows, and addictive pulls. Now, we can touch Earth and return to our bodies, remembering that we become more present when we connect with our senses. What do we hear, smell, taste, and touch? This type of contemplation will help us feel expansion and relaxation while opening our minds and hearts.

Jupiter remains in Taurus until May 26, 2024, when he moves into Gemini. For the next year, our growth lies in focusing on safety, roundedness, resources, money, self-worth, food, and environmentalism. Consistency and patience are key as we experience slow but steady growth. We’re developing a much deeper sense of self-worth and security during this time. Jupiter’s shift into Taurus is ready to teach us that it’s important to choose quality over quantity. Simple, sensual pleasures are key, and we might consider if it’s possible to adjust our lives to generate more peace and connection with the natural world.

Jupiter in Taurus Aspiration

In the midst of blooming trees and flowers, may we relish in the lushness of spring and the simplicity of experiencing the world’s beauty. May we slow down and appreciate the pleasure available to us right now.
