There are a series of astrological energies we need to take into account this week. Ever since the North Node (where we're collectively headed, as well as the celestial energy we're being guided to embrace) entered Taurus back in January 2022, there's been a change of pace that's impossible to deny. Governed by sensually driven Venus — the planet of abundance, fertility, pleasure, and values — the essence of this zodiac archetype has everything to do with slowing down, staying grounded, and nurturing sacred possessions, whether it be personally and/or when it comes to the planet at large.
Having said that, this could certainly validate the slow-and-steady momentum we've experienced as of late. By that same token, Taurus's planetary ruler (Venus) has been quite frustrated for quite some time given the recent astro-alignments, not to mention her rough retro-journey through Capricorn that started in November 2021. And the truth is, following the North Node in a Venus-ruled sign when Venus isn't comfortable (let alone inspired), is a lot more frustrating than we can admit. Think about it: this is the planet that governs everything from our love life to our general sense of stability, and when things aren't smooth sailing with her, it can feel like a crazy ride. The good news is lady Venus will be making her dazzling debut in the fantasy-loving sign of Pisces on April 5, where she "exalts," which is equivalent to thriving, living her best life, and staying productive. All things related to beauty, love, relationships, money, and pleasure are at an all-time high.

In turn, this gives us no choice but to slow down and reassess our current situation. Something's got to give, and it's what's being brought to our attention all throughout this Mars-ruled season.
