Ignite your senses! When love planet Venus comes home to stable Taurus, romance is slow and sensual. Here’s how you can enjoy the delightful Venus in Taurus transit, from April 29 to May 23, 2024.
Quick question: Would you rather be eye candy or comfort food? During the Venus in Taurus transit, you don’t have to choose!
With Venus, the planet of beauty and amour, in Taurus, the aesthetic earth sign, adornment is an art form—but not at the expense of true, heartfelt connection.
Slipping into this relaxed groove is honestly a relief after the past few weeks of Venus transiting through fast and fiery Aries. Sure, it’s been exciting. But that level of passion is hard to sustain, and we’ve had our fill of it since April 5.
Better still? Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus, so the celestial love goddess is in her planetary power zone starting April 29. The whole world buzzes with “romantic hero(ine) energy” during this annual Venus cycle, which lasts till May 23.
The Astrology Advantage
As you ease into the Venus in Taurus transit, remember this
There’s nothing basic about settling down or enjoying old-fashioned courtship rituals.
These gestures have never stopped making humans swoon:
• Buying a bouquet of flowers
• Cooking your boo their favorite dish (and opening up a special bottle)
• Writing a letter on beautiful stationery and dropping it into the mail
When Venus is in Taurus, remembering the little things makes love feel extra special!
And treat yo-self!
When affectionate Venus takes her annual homecoming parade through tactile Taurus, appetites whet for earthly delights.
Indulge yourself in a little luxury (it doesn’t have to be expensive):
• Savor all the visuals; adorn your surroundings with gorgeous spring blossoms
• Pick up a bespoke accessory that makes your warm-weather wardrobe pop
• Pamper yourself with a fresh pillow, a new robe—something that makes you feel pampered
“Too much of a good thing” feels like just the right dose during the 2024 Venus in Taurus transit.
Love Gets Found With Venus In Taurus
Relationships can turn more serious under the stabilizing spell of Taurus.
Taurus rules the senses, so put more effort into your presentation—if only to turn yourself on by your own reflection! (Know that your olfactory responses could outweigh visuals. If you love how your date smells, and vice versa, it’s on!)
Single? Taurus is the sign that rules our values, so make sure your search criteria includes people who share your ideas about what’s important in life. Even on the first few dates, open up conversations about money, family plans, housing preferences and what your ideal relationship structure looks like. Just try to leave room for open discourse instead of digging in your heels like that stubborn Bull at the first sign of disagreement.
Coupled? If you’ve found your person, there’s only one thing to do during the Venus in Taurus transit: touch them, often! Tactile Taurus is all about affection. What begins as a shoulder rub (a Taurus erogenous zone) could heat up into hours of sweet, sweet love. And do bring the chocolate, strawberries and silk scarves into the bed with you. Foreplay is an art form during this cycle.
On a more mundane level, couples can get on the same page about day-to-day matters. But try to set a cozy mood before you start a big conversation about household repairs, bills and budgets.
Your Venus In Taurus Transit Horoscope
For approximately 3-5 weeks each year, the planet of love, beauty and luxury slips into the “costume” of each zodiac sign. During the Venus in Taurus transit that might be “Lizzo meets Gigi Hadid.” (Both are Tauruses, by the way). The opulent embellished diva meets the sweet girl next door. An odd mashup, we know, but go ahead and wear your bustier under jeans.
