How do I love me?

If fiery Aries speaks to your self-belief, the solar cycle of earthy Taurus speaks to your self-worth, self- love and value. Taurus is determined that your life should have a solid foundation based on all the inner and outer resources you’ve cultivated.

Taurus is everything that Aries is not. Whilst Aries acts first, only to think later, Taurus wouldn’t consider doing so. Taurus season invites you to ask, ‘have you put in place the foundations needed to actualise the life you want?’

Be careful though. Ruled by Venus Taurus looks around, usually with food in hand, sees that life isn’t too bad and settles on laziness and accepting the status quo.

Sixteen weeks into 2019, the plans you set, and life you desire can feel as it’s all too hard. Taurus is about getting real about seeking security and will test how serious you are about achieving your plans for 2019.

Taurus season is about staying the course.

Taurus, the sign of the builder, loves and needs a plan. Without a considered plan, Taurus tends to laziness. With a plan, Taurus tends to hard work.

To succeed in creating the life you desire, Taurus wants you to look at the big picture, and then break it down into small, bite-sized steps.

All quality things take time to build. Review your plans and make adjustments as needed. As long as you know which steps to take, and then consistently take those steps, well anything is possible.

“
Be brave in love.
Be brave in sex.
Be brave in your ecstasy.
Be brave in your orgasms.
Be brave in being who you truly are,
Asking for what you want, and getting your needs met.

As a sexually awakened person, you have enormous power.

Don’t let anyone take it from you.
Do the best you can, stay open, be compassionate with yourself and others,
Be creative.
Expect miracles.

“
