The season of the bull.
Eclipse season comes to a close with Monday’s quarter moon in Cancer, giving us an opportunity to reflect on the gifts of the recent eclipse. On Friday, Taurus season arrives. This fixed earth sign is ruled by Venus, and in contrast to the fiery, forceful energy of the ram, this season brings a deep, thoughtful, slightly stubborn and somewhat luxurious vibe. Taurus ushers in the full beauty and delight of spring.

How can I tap into and harness the inner resources and strengths I possess?
Six of Pentacles (rev) + You know what is best for you
You have the ability to discern what is needed to keep yourself healthy and happy. Trust that inner wisdom. Be curious about different methods and stay open to advice from others, but don’t think that you have to change your way of doing things in order to be successful. Take care with your resources and be sure to spend them in alignment with your inner wisdom and personal methodology.
What practices can help me access and trust the abundance within me?
King of Pentacles + Trust your inner voice
This is a continuation of the message held in our first set of cards - you have the knowledge within you to create an abundant life for yourself. Part of feeling abundant is recognizing your own needs so that you can go about finding satisfying ways to meet them. We all have different desires in life. There is no one cookie cutter way to be successful, no one picture of a happy life. These things are largely personal and tied to our inner values and personal experience. What do you really want your life to be like? Once you figure that out, prioritize your resources and make choices in alignment with those goals.
What guidance does my inner wisdom offer to help me recognize that “everything I need that is already within me?”
Wheel of Fortune (rev) + The effort will be worth it
Things may be difficult right now. It may seem like nothing is going your way and that you can’t seem to get things back on track no matter how hard you try. Although it may feel like you are not making progress, your effort is not in vain. It will pay off in the long run. At some point, the wheel of fortune turns again. Things look brighter, and luck begins to flow your way. Focus on achieving balance and doing what is in your control. Eventually you will see the results of your labor.
