We live in a world of urgency.
The pings on your devices come at all hours. Now companies bombard not just your email, but also your text messages.
The news scrolling by in your Google and social media feeds.
And then there are the real people in your life who need you.
Virtually 24 hours a day, someone wants something from you.
If your head is spinning from all of that demand and urgency, Taurus season (April 19-May 20) invites you to shift your perspective and approach.
Taurus season is the month of the year when the Sun moves through the sign of Taurus.
And Taurus is not a place of urgency. In fact, it’s the exact opposite.
Taurus teaches us the value of the slow approach.
This is a place to stop and smell the roses, to linger over a meal, to indulge the senses, and to get in your most comfy loungewear and snuggle up in a cozy blanket.
Taurus often gets a reputation for being lazy — with the connotation being that lazy is “bad.”
But that’s a misunderstanding.
Taurus is not afraid or avoidant of hard work. It will work harder and longer than anyone else. But it has no bandwidth for manufactured urgency.
This is a place where the motto is Don’t do work today that you may not have to do at all.
Urgency creates work that might not be necessary in the long term. Taurus rejects that extra work.
Taurus season is a time to remember to slow down. Indulge in comforts and pleasure. And remember that other peoples’ urgencies do not have to be your problem.
Love it? Hate it? What do you think? Don't hold back...
