Taurus is known as the month of healing.
Whether it’s our relationships, our health—mental, physical, or emotional—or our finances, healing is an act of giving our loving energy to the things we wish to change. It is a choice, whether conscious or unconscious, to open up to what is possible. The month of Taurus offers us the perfect cosmic opportunity to do just that.
Every month carries both shadow and light. Taurus, symbolized by the bull, is no exception. On the shadow side, there’s stubbornness, resistance to change, and a love of comfort that can border on addiction. But the light of Taurus is undeniable: a reverence for beauty, a natural propensity for serenity, unshakable loyalty, and a heart free from judgment.
This month invites us to explore both. To recognize where we are resisting change in favor of comfort, and to ask ourselves if that comfort is really serving us. Change, especially the uncomfortable kind, is not just a tool for growth—it’s a prerequisite for a life that’s truly joyful. It requires effort from us, though. And I don’t mean the effort we might expend forcing a specific outcome, I mean the effort required to practice adaptability.
Adaptability is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as “the quality of being able to adjust to new conditions.” But the secondary usage is even more inspiring to me:
The capacity to be modified for a new use or purpose.
Think of this definition in the context of some of the most famous stories of adaptability:
Take Oprah Winfrey. She was fired from her first news anchor job for being “too emotional,” but instead of quitting, she adapted by leaning into her emotional intelligence. She pivoted into talk shows, became a global media mogul, and turned empathy into her superpower.
Of course, there’s Steve Jobs. After being ousted from the very company he co-founded, he certainly didn’t wallow—he innovated. He launched new ventures like NeXT and Pixar, eventually leading to his return to Apple and the creation of the iPhone. His ability to reinvent himself shaped the future of technology (and all of our lives!)
Maya Angelou may have become a national icon, but only after growing through an experience of intense trauma that caused her not to speak for nearly five years as a child. She worked to reclaim her voice through writing and became one of the most celebrated poets of her generation. Her adaptability wasn’t just survival—it became a lifelong work of art, truth, and healing.
Adaptability is a superpower. It leads us to our purpose.
When we stop resisting change and instead meet it with curiosity, we practice getting comfortable with discomfort. Our transformation becomes less about striving and more about unfolding. Taurus energy, though rooted and earthy, doesn’t ask us to be rigid—it asks us to be grounded. From that rooted place, we can reach, stretch, and expand.
This month, think about what you’re carrying.
Are there relationships in your life that feel stuck or stagnant?
Emotions you’ve been avoiding—grief, regret, resentment?
Stories about who you are or what you’re capable of that no longer fit?
Taurus offers us a chance to lay them down. Not in judgment, but in love. We can still seek comfort, but let it be the kind that nourishes the soul, not the kind that keeps us small. We can still honor beauty, but let it include the broken, the messy, the in-between. Let this be the month you open yourself to necessary, inspired change. Practice radical adaptability. Trust that it’s not the events themselves that define us—it’s how we choose to respond.
