Love is in the air… for a few zodiac signs, and it’s all thanks to Venus in Taurus. On Wednesday, April 14, love planet Venus moves into the passive earth sign Taurus, gently beefing up our appetites for romance and relating until May 8.
Venus and Taurus are all about that hedonist lifestyle — eating, sleeping, relaxing, stockpiling money, etc. This is because the planet of love and romance actually rules the fixed earth sign. Any time you have a planet in the sign of its rulership, the planet heaves a sigh of relief. Right now, Venus says “ahhhh,” because love, relationships and even financial dealings, can finally function as they should.
Since Taurus is such a lackadaisical sign and Venus is a lover of peace, everyone will feel a little more ease (and hungrier) during 2021 Venus in Taurus. But if you really want to know how the transit affects your life and sign, read your Venus in Taurus horoscope.
Aries ♈ (March 21–April 19)
Attracting admirers isn’t your preferred methodology. You’re a chaser. (One might go as far as saying you’re a little ADHD with your chases.) But even chasers get tired of running after unattainable goals. So, slow down for once and give yourself a little rest and relaxation. The effects this has on your self-esteem are invaluable…
Taurus ♉ (April 20–May 20)
Think of this as a pre-birthday period of self-pampering. Not that you don’t pamper yourself already. If ever there was a sign inclined to spoil themselves, it’s yours. So, be you, boo. Eat that birthday cake even though it’s not your birthday and wear those pajamas to your afternoon math class. Comfort gives life meaning…
Gemini ♊ (May 21–June 20)
Gushing forth is a passive longing for romance. You also want to isolate, which puts you in a pickle. Really, you’re always in a pickle, since you feel and think two (if not five) things at a time, but this is different: How can you find love if locked away? Simple: stop hiding your heart…
Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 22)
Clubs and groups offer a temporary asylum. (Notice I said temporary. With you, nothing is ever permanent, because your moods shift with the moon.) If you’re in need of love, Venus in Taurus attracts a bestie or friend-like beau. Your challenge (and this is your eternal challenge) is to appreciate them without expecting their reciprocation…
Leo ♌ (July 23-Aug. 22)
Long-range goals are all you think about. That and how blessed the professional world is to have you in it. With Venus in Taurus, you’ve got even more confidence about your ambitions. But be wary of complacency. Yes, you’re great, but continued hard work (not boasts) will make your true worth known to the world…
Virgo ♍ (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Would you believe me if I said your worldview is going to change due to an out-of-body experience? Of course you wouldn’t, you’re too skeptical. Truth is, you could have an out-of-body experience, but it’s more likely that you’ll keep your nose to the undergraduate grindstone during this transit and leave the wisdom-seeking to the professionals…
Libra ♎ (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Look deep within… have you been hiding your emotional dysfunction from yourself and others? No biggie: Venus in Taurus lulls any and all psychological upsets while also making others see you as brooding and mysterious. Exploit the hell out of this if you want to conjure up some magic in love. It worked for Edward Cullen…
Scorpio ♏ (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
So, your phone is going to blow up with texts from your closest contacts and maybe a few adversaries. They’re obsessed with you (or so it feels from their sensual compliments). If you’re anti-social with limited time, you feel compelled to unite with someone (anyone!), especially if they remind you of your weird self…
Sagittarius ♐ (Nov. 22-Dec. 20)
Sudden fondness for health and wellness arises but doesn’t lead to much. Slow and steady best describes your approach to self-improvement. Laziness and excuses are along for the ride. So too is your king-sized appetite. In love, you take a similar approach, which is odd. Seldom are you ever slow or lazy expressing your affections…
Capricorn ♑ (Dec. 21-Jan. 19)
Create something that brings you joy. I know you just rolled your eyes, since you’re not the joyful or creative type. Your most joyful and creative pastime is making money. Actually, you’re a magnet for money, attracting it without lifting a finger. Venus in Taurus only strengthens this magnetism and bulks up your bank account…
Aquarius ♒ (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Attachments aren’t your favorite thing in the world. Cautious around overly emotional people, you believe distance keeps you safe. This aversion backfires and actually attracts affection, which you abscond. You can continue living this unhealthy cycle of behavior, or you can face your fear and emotionally connect with another person. And no, Siri doesn’t count…
Pisces ♓ (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
Proverbs state a perceived, common sense truth, and they’re similar to horoscopes. Neither can predict your future, but they can offer advice. Here’s some: everything you can imagine is real. With Venus in Taurus, you can make your imaginings real. You just have to, you know, try. Consistent effort has always been your biggest hurdle…
