How Taurus Season Will Impact Your Zodiac Sign, According to an Astrologer

Although the beginning of April can be a chilly time of year, once Taurus season is in full swing, the balmy springtime weather, greenery, and vivid blossoms will finally be present. (Yes, we know you've been waiting for this weather for the entirety of winter.)

Taurus season is a time to be more present, mindful, and to revel in harmonious moments that insist you soak up the changing world around you with all five senses. That's because Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and pleasure, which sets a sweet, languorous vibe.

During Taurus season, you may be more apt to move slowly and steadily toward your desires as opposed to insisting on putting the pedal to the medal as you may have done during Aries season. But it's not all smooth sailing necessarily.

It is worth noting that Taurus is one of the fixed signs, and therefore prone to digging its heels in, so you might find it tougher than usual to stray from your usual routine or approach this time of year. Here's what you need to know about Taurus season, in general, and particularly in 2025.

What Is Taurus Season?

Lasting for about a month annually, Taurus season is the time the sun moves through Taurus, the fixed earth sign. Every year, the sun, which oversees self-image, identity, purpose, and confidence, makes its way through each of the 12 zodiac signs, spending about 30 days in each, and setting a unique tone for how you may experience the world.

When it's Taurus season, which occurs every year between mid-April and mid-May, you may feel more likely to prioritize luxury, harmony, pleasure, and moving slowly through the world. This is the result of Taurus being ruled by Venus, which is the planet of relationships, values, earning, beauty, art, and pleasure. In astrology, the planet fuels your ability to relate to others, what you perceive as aesthetically appealing, your sense of romance, relationship to earning money, and creative self-expression.

The planet named for the Goddess of Love urges you to soak up what life has to offer socially, artistically, and financially. When it comes to self-expression or taking action, the bull refuses to be rushed, preferring to move slowly and steadily toward fulfillment of any desire or finish line.

Loyal, salt of the earth, pragmatic, and a creature of habit, anyone who has Taurus in their

birth chart

is truly grounded. Associated with the second house of income, Taurus is also concerned with being true to their values and putting in the work to earn what they deserve. That said, while the sun moves through Taurus each year, you may be more prone to gain clarity around what you value and how you bring your skills to the table. Given Venus's influence, you might also be more diplomatic and have longer fuses in the face of a potential conflict.

When Is Taurus Season?

Taurus season happens annually from approximately April 19-20 to May 20-21. This year (at least in US time zones), Taurus season will be from April 19 to May 20.

Taurus Season: What to Expect in 2025

Although the sun moves through Taurus every year, the moon and other planets each have their own distinct patterns through the sky, making for a unique astrological picture that differs from one year to the next. Here's what's going on astrologically during Taurus season 2025.

Not long after the sun moves into Taurus, on April 20, the sun will form a tense but activating square to go-getter Mars, the planet of aggression, competition, and sex. This dynamic can't help but boost your desire to win at all costs. Be extra conscious of your ego during this time. Then, on April 23, the sun squares off against transformative Pluto, which could step up your need to take control and claim power, but it could also be a brilliant opportunity to take a stand against toxic dynamics that are holding you back.

The next day, April 24, Venus pairs up with Saturn in Pisces, serving as a lovely, spiritually-charged backdrop for any creative or romantic commitments you've been wanting to make. But that harmonious vibe is brushed aside rather quickly, because April 26 hosts another shocking celestial face-off when Mars in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius, which can crank up your motivation but also set up obstacles galore.

If you're looking for a day for a thrilling brainstorm or chance to break out of a rut, look forward to May 17 when the sun pairs up with Uranus in Taurus, sending shockwaves through whatever part of your chart Taurus activates.

Zodiac Signs Who Might Be Affected Most During Taurus Season 2025

People born with their sun in Taurus aren't the only ones who will be affected by the dynamic, power-fueling, and pleasure-seeking tone of this season. Anyone born with their sun or major planetary placements in any of the fixed signs — Leo (fixed fire), Scorpio (fixed water), and Aquarius (fixed air) — could come away from Taurus season feeling truly transformed.

How Taurus Season Will Affect Your Zodiac Sign

Here's what every sign can expect this Taurus season. Feel free to read the below based on your zodiac sign and/or rising sign, too.

Aries (March 20-April 19)

You've basked in the limelight during your season, Aries, and now, you can take everything you've gained to the next level during Taurus season. When the sun is in Taurus, making money will be your main focus because your second house of income is activated. This means you have an opportunity to transform your most dynamic ideas into cash flow. You'll also be working on nurturing your self-worth. In turn, you'll be even more empowered to get paid what you deserve.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Welcome to your season, Taurus. No doubt you were enjoying the quiet, restorative tone of the sun moving through your 12th house of spirituality over the last month, but with the sun in your sign and first house of self, it's time to step out into the sunlight and share everything you have to offer with the world. You'll find you can gain more clarity around exactly how to pursue passion projects — and which ones are most worth your time and energy. This is also the time you have everything you need to project your ideas and personal brand out into the world in a way that's sure to make an impression.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Gemini, your 11th house of networking has been activated during Aries season, which means you've been even more connected to your favorite groups and teams. But as the sun moves through Taurus and your 12th house of spirituality, you could actually get a bit more comfortable with bed rotting because this is your annual opportunity to chill ahead of your own season. You might be even more psyched to make room in your schedule for slower-paced activities (think: meditation, yoga, or dream journaling), all of which could lay the groundwork for thrilling new goals you can get after soon enough.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

The sun just wrapped up its time in your 10th house of career, Cancer, and in turn, you may have been craving more recognition for your work, but now, as the sun moves into your 11th house of networking, you're more invested in working as part of a group, team, or community alongside like minded colleagues or friends. Nurturing platonic bonds can now offer you bolstered success over the course of Taurus season. This sector is also dedicated to long-term wishes, so don't hesitate to take steps toward an aspiration you've held close to your heart for some time.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

As the sun moves through your 10th house of career during Taurus season, you'll find it's easier to command the limelight, Leo. You infuse everything you do with dynamism, charisma, and joyfulness, which can't help but magnetize well-deserved applause, recognition, or accolades now. At the same time, you might feel a bit of a pull toward prioritizing quiet time with your significant other, friends, or loved ones, so use this period to zero in on new ways to strike a balance between these two important areas of your life.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because the sun is now in your ninth house of adventure, Taurus season is your chance to step beyond your day-to-day routine, Virgo — and no, it doesn't have to result in a ton of stress. Taurus season nudges you to get out of your comfort zone by planning and taking a long-distance trip, soaking up knowledge that leads to honing different skills or otherwise exploring uncharted terrain. Embrace eye-opening experiences and take that leap of faith. Trading your focus on everyday details for the big picture now can benefit your mind, heart, and spirit.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22)

The vitality-fueling sun is moving through your eighth house of emotional bonds and joint resources, Libra, amplifying your desire for emotionally-fulfilling conversation and intimate connection. Superficial interactions will just aggravate you, so own your need to be vulnerable and give yourself permission to go deeper. This could also be a chance for you to get out of your comfort zone — in some cases, sexually, in other cases, financially. (Consider it time to look into new investments and/or maybe pay off some debt.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

During Taurus season, the sun's trip through your seventh house of partnership pulls your attention toward one-on-one partnerships, Scorpio. While you could be focusing on your romantic partner and what you two are pursuing jointly, this is also a season for moving the ball forward on a meaningful project or aspiration alongside a best friend, business partner, or family member. By reflecting on how you're showing up within these relationships — and how others are showing up for you! — you could find you're inspired to stand even more strongly in your own sense of self.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Taurus season activates your sixth house of daily routine and health, so you'll be focused on checking off your to-do list once and for all, Sagittarius. Your wellness is also a focus, so consider reflecting on your existing fitness plan and possibly exploring ways in which you can take it to the next level or switch it up entirely. As you build momentum and get more organized and productive, you'll feel even more centered, confident, and capable of taking on whatever the next day, week, or month has in store for you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Capricorn, the sun's shift into Taurus and your fifth house of romance and self-expression invites a surge of playfulness, fun, and creativity. You'll find yourself with the ability to own and share your voice and most heartfelt feelings. As industrious as you are, it can be tough to make room for lighthearted or spontaneous pastimes, but during Taurus season, you have full permission to put your usual grind on the backburner in order to prioritize breezy and joyful moments with friends, loved ones, and romantic partners. Make more time for flirting, laughing, and expressing yourself artistically.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

As the sun moves through Taurus, it moves through your fourth house of home life, Aquarius, turning your attention to your family affairs and domestic space. You might feel like taking a pause from your usual forward-thinking hustle to chill out with your nearest and dearest, baking, gardening, or tending to your home in whatever way helps you feel more grounded. This can also be a productive season for diving into deep self-work — perhaps alongside a therapist or mentor — which can promote well-deserved inner peace and healing.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The sun's trip through Taurus and your third house of communication will bring you a busy calendar and a voracious appetite for connecting and learning, Pisces. You can connect and make exciting plans with friends, colleagues, or even new connections. When you meet up, conversations may even feel more lively and mentally-stimulating than usual. You'll also feel more eager to express your most brilliant, colorful ideas and opinions. And whether you've been wanting to read more, go for a challenging hike, take a road trip, or visit that new museum, you'll have extra oomph to join up with a few friends and make it happen now.
