The Transition from Aries to Taurus
This shift marks one of the most distinct changes in the zodiac wheel: from Fire to Earth, from Cardinal to Fixed modality, and from the self-oriented impulse of Aries to the resource-oriented persistence of Taurus.
Taurus teaches us to slow down, appreciate the physical realm, and cultivate security. It asks us to build something lasting from the initial spark Aries provided.
