Welcome to Taurus Season—where everything slows down just enough for you to taste your coffee, notice the texture of the sheets, and contemplate buying that ridiculously overpriced skin cream because “you deserve it.” (Spoiler alert: you probably do.) But this year, the Venusian vibes are throwing us a delightful curveball.
Why? Because Venus, the planetary ruler of Taurus, is doing her own seasonal costume change. First, she floats through the last degrees of Pisces, her exaltation, trailing perfume and poetry in her wake. Then, right as April wraps up, she sets her silk robes on fire and dives headfirst into Aries, the sign of her detriment. And oh, the magic gets interesting.
Let’s talk about how to work with it—not against it.
General Taurus Season Magic: The Earthly Enchantment
Before we even get into Venus’ wardrobe changes, let’s pause and appreciate Taurus Season in its own earthy glory. This is the season where magic gets grounded, physical, and real. It’s not about chasing lightning bolts of inspiration or leaping into the unknown—it’s about rooting deep, building something lasting, and maybe planting a few metaphorical (or actual) roses along the way.
Taurus is fixed earth. Translation? It’s the energy that says: “I want what I want, and I want it to last.”
Themes to Work With:
- Stability and security (both emotional and financial)
- Sensory magic (what you can taste, touch, hear, see, and smell)
- Self-worth and value alignment
- Gardening and plant-based rituals
- Beauty rituals and adornment
- Home and hearth magic
This is the season to stop manifesting castles in the sky and start laying brick. Use rituals that engage the senses—anointing oils, rich colors, textured fabrics, foods you can bless and eat. Taurus isn’t theoretical. It’s practical, embodied magic. It says, “Show me the results.”
Try This:
- Money Bowl: Fill with coins, basil, cinnamon, and a written intention for financial growth. Place it near your front door.
- Home Blessing: Use rose water and salt to cleanse your space. Play music that makes you feel abundant.
- Body Gratitude Ritual: Rub oil on your skin, thank each part of your body aloud, and light a candle to honor your physical form.
Taurus magic is delicious because it feels good. It reminds you that pleasure isn’t frivolous—it’s fuel.
Venus in Pisces (April 19–April 30): The Dream Phase
Taurus Season opens with Venus in Pisces, which is basically like asking Lana Del Rey to help you build your dream house: emotional, ethereal, and possibly covered in sea glass. Venus here is romantic, boundless, and deeply creative. She wants you to daydream, write poetry, flirt with the ghost of a sailor, and take long baths with music playing in the background.
Magically speaking? This is the time to attract, enchant, and softly draw things toward you like a siren on a sea rock. If you’re trying to manifest love, creative inspiration, forgiveness, or that perfect velvet couch—this is your window.
Spell Ideas for Venus in Pisces:
- Dream Altar: Add amethyst, rose quartz, seashells, and a drop of lavender oil. Place under your bed or near your pillow. Ask for visions or insight.
- Love Drawing Bath: Combine rose petals, jasmine oil, milk, and honey. Speak your intentions aloud. Add candles if you’re feeling extra (which you should).
- Glamour Magic: Enchant your perfume, lotion, or makeup with the intention to radiate softness and magnetic allure.
This is magic that whispers. It doesn’t yell. Think lace, not leather. Unless you’re combining both, in which case: do you.
Venus in Aries (May 1–May 20): The Warrior Queen
And just like that, Venus trades the mermaid tail for combat boots.
Venus in Aries doesn’t wait for the universe to deliver love. She marches into the room and says, “I want that one,” pointing to either a person, a dream, or the last slice of cheesecake. Subtle? No. Effective? Absolutely.
In traditional astrology, Aries is Venus’ detriment—which sounds dramatic but just means she’s not lounging on the fainting couch anymore. She’s up, she’s active, and she’s probably not returning your texts. But don’t mistake this for bad magic. It’s just different.
This is when you shift from drawing things in, to chasing after them with wild abandon and great hair.
Spell Ideas for Venus in Aries:
- Confidence Mirror Spell: Light a red candle. Look into a mirror. Say, “I am worth every damn thing I want.” Repeat until you believe it. Then do it again.
- Cord-Cutting Ritual: Burn what needs to go. Use black string, scissors, and a no-nonsense playlist.
- Money Hustle Jar: Cinnamon sticks, chili flakes, a coin, and a written goal. Shake that jar every day like you mean it.
This is Venus in boss mode. Don’t wait to be chosen. Choose yourself.
The Taurus Magic Split: Two Faces of Venus
So how does this affect your Taurus Season magic? Think of it like a two-act play. First, you attract. Then, you act.
April 19–30: Venus in Pisces Magic
- Focus: Magnetizing love, beauty, creative flow
- Vibe: Soft, intuitive, dreamlike
- Best for: Love drawing, healing, artistic work, spirit connection
May 1–20: Venus in Aries Magic
- Focus: Embodying desire, courage, and boundaries
- Vibe: Bold, direct, passionate
- Best for: Self-worth spells, confidence rituals, cutting cords, getting unstuck
One isn’t better than the other. They’re just different flavors. The key is to know when to stir the cauldron, and when to flip the whole thing over and build a fire.
Bridging the Two: A Dual-Phase Ritual
Want to work both ends of the Venus wand this season? Try this:
Part One (April 27):
- Write a letter to your ideal love, life, or vision. Be poetic. Be vulnerable. Burn incense. Fold it into a heart and sleep with it under your pillow for three nights.
Part Two (May 2):
- Take that same letter, open it up, and cross out anything that feels codependent or unrealistic. Rewrite it with power statements. Say it aloud like a vow. Burn the old version. Keep the new one on your altar.
This kind of magic alchemizes both Venus energies: the softness of longing, and the fire of acting.
Candle Spotlight: Irresistible Force (Venus Astro Magic Candle)
There’s a reason we call it Irresistible Force and not “Kinda Cute Vibe.” This candle was designed to work with both sides of Venus—the velvet and the flame. Whether you’re calling in your soulmate or telling your ex to take a hike, this candle amplifies your Venusian power.
Use it:
- During Friday rituals (Venus’ day)
- To draw love, beauty, and prosperity
- To enhance self-worth and attraction spells
Dress it with rose or cinnamon oil, speak your intention, and let Venus do her thing. It’s not about forcing love. It’s about becoming the kind of energy that people (and blessings) can’t look away from.
Final Thoughts: Plant, Bloom, Blaze
Taurus Season is often billed as soft, slow, and steady. And yes, there’s a lot of value in that. But with Venus changing signs mid-season, we get a rare opportunity to work both ends of the magical spectrum.
You get to plant intentions in the moist, fertile soil of Pisces-Venus and then fan them into flame with Aries-Venus fire. You get to whisper, then roar.
Just remember: stability doesn’t mean staying stuck. And love, real love—whether it’s for yourself, another, or your craft—should never feel like settling.
This Taurus Season, honor what you value. Then fight for it.
