“The quest for perfection can be exhilarating. Exhausting but exhilarating.”

Barbara Moore

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

WELCOME TO TAURUS SEASON!!!!

Our week opens with a perfect Taurus reminder:

The harder you work, the luckier you are. 

The pursuit of perfection is important to Taurus but maybe not always in their best interests – it can be not only exhausting but also fruitless and demoralizing – and so we are reminded the importance of picking our battles.

Saturn and Pluto are doing the retrograde dance and we may find ourselves feeling a bit sluggish as we try to sort things out and get things done; Taurus is not a quick moving energy (such as you feel with Aries) so the reduced pace will not be so bad and the retrogrades provide ample opportunity to take a sharp look at what you are pursuing, how you are pursuing, it, and maybe thinking it is time to let go of some things. (Taurus can be great hoarders – letting go is not what they do best – so this new confluence of energy may prove very useful.)

PRACTICAL MAGIC TIP: Consider starting your week off by taking a bag full of stuff you do not need or use, and donate it to your local church or shelter. As you drop the bag off, say/think clearly and specifically, “I release that which does not serve me. I make room in my life to hold space for anyone who needs it, starting with myself.”
