Sun in Taurus 2025: Face Your Inner Minotaur and Stop Feeding the Bull

Every April, just as Aries season finally finishes setting everything on fire—including our patience—we get the blessed relief of Taurus season. It’s like going from a Red Bull-fueled rave to a vineyard picnic. The Sun slips into this Venus-ruled Earth sign and says, “Let’s stop running headfirst into everything and maybe… nap instead?”

But don’t let the pastoral vibes fool you—Taurus isn’t just some mellow cow chewing wildflowers in a sun-drenched field. Underneath that calm, curated exterior? There’s a beast. And its name is the Minotaur.

Ariadne’s Ghosting, Mars Drama, and Why This Libra Full Moon Isn’t Playing Nice

You know those moments when you’re trying to keep everything “nice” and “balanced” and “chill,” but deep down you’re gritting your teeth so hard you could crack a diamond? Welcome to the Full Moon in Libra—where the facade of harmony gets a high-definition spotlight, and the real dynamics underneath your relationships come spilling out like tea at a family reunion.

This Full Moon isn’t just a pleasant lunar event encouraging you to light a pink candle and write love notes to your inner child. No, no. This one’s coming in hot—with a square to Mars in Cancer, emotional landmines included. So let’s talk about the psychology, the myth, and what to do when Libra’s velvet glove gets slapped by Mars’ water-logged gauntlet.

Venus Goes Direct in Pisces: What Tristan and Isolde Can Teach You About Letting Go of Toxic Love

So, Venus is finally turning direct in Pisces on April 12th. And if you’ve felt like your love life has been a foggy medieval drama with a tragic soundtrack and no intermission, congratulations—you’ve been starring in your own reboot of Tristan and Isolde: The Retrograde Remix.

Let’s rewind for a second.

For a couple of weeks now, Venus has been paddling backward through the mermaid-infested waters of Pisces, dragging us into every murky emotional swamp we thought we swore off. Exes popped up like they were summoned via séance. Romantic ideals were tested. Boundaries? What boundaries? We dissolved them all in the name of “soul connections” and vague daydreams that looked better on paper (or in a text thread at 2:00 a.m.).

Mercury Stations Direct in Pisces: Time to Make Sense of the Madness

Let’s be honest: Mercury retrograde in Pisces is not for the faint of heart—or the organized. If you spent the last few weeks wondering why you walked into a room, why you texted your ex, or why your dreams were sponsored by Salvador Dalí, congratulations! You survived the trickster’s underwater labyrinth. Now, the good news: Mercury is turning direct. The bad news? We still have to translate what just happened.

This isn’t just about Mercury changing direction on an ephemeris chart. Oh no. We’re talking about Hermes the Psychopomp finally deciding it’s time to climb out of the unconscious swamp and lead us back to something resembling linear thought. It’s like he realized he left his sandals in reality and thought, “Well, I guess I better go back.”

Is Your Anxiety a Monster or a Message? What Perseus, Psyche, and the Planets Say

Let me be clear: anxiety isn’t new. It didn’t come with TikTok, inflation, or your coworker (let’s call her Karen) who insists on replying-all to every email. Anxiety has always been part of the human experience. It’s older than your therapist, older than Freud, and definitely older than the DSM.

But while modern psychology offers us diagnoses and prescriptions, astrology and mythology hand us something even juicier: symbols, stories, and patterns that actually mean something. Because anxiety, my friends, isn’t just a medical inconvenience. It’s often a soul-level signal that the unconscious is trying to get a word in edgewise.

Mercury Retrograde in Pisces: What Narcissus and Echo Can Teach Us About Ghosting Ourselves

Let’s be honest: Mercury retrograde in Aries was already a hot mess—like giving a toddler a bullhorn and asking them to please be subtle. Thoughts moved faster than your fingers could type. Mouths worked before minds engaged. If you survived the verbal drive-bys and flaming group chats, congratulations. You’re still here.

But now, Mercury’s moving out of Aries and back into Pisces, and the game changes entirely. The heat of Aries is replaced by the hazy fog of Pisces. And if Aries was a shout, Pisces is a whisper wrapped in sea mist, speaking in metaphor while holding a dream journal.

So how do we make sense of this transition?

Let’s call in a myth—the only way Mercury in Pisces would want to communicate. No spreadsheets. No bullet points. Just symbols, stories, and astrological tea.
