Hi Virgo, welcome to Taurus season.
This is your season ahead reading from Embodied Astrology
and my name is Renee. We are working with the span of
time that extends between April 19th and May 20th.
This is Taurus season in 2025 and this is a general reading
for Virgo. So your sun, moon rising and
personal planets, your N node, they are all welcome here.
If you are not a Virgo rising, but you do know where Virgo
falls in your chart, you can always consider the house themes
for that placement. You can also always consider the
themes of your 6th house. General readings are general, so
not everything is for everyone. If something comes through and
it doesn't resonate for you, it's not for you.
Let it go. Make the meanings that are most
meaningful for you. Take what works and leave the
rest. OK, Virgo, we have arrived at
tourist season. I am recording for you from five
months ago. At this point it is December
10th, it is Sagittarius season and I have just recorded the
readings, the season ahead readings for the last several
seasons. We started back in Capricorn
season. Now we have arrived at Taurus
season and this is where I'm going to end my pre recording
project. I started this pre recording
project because I really wanted to shift my schedule for the
first four or five months of the year because I knew that this is
when so many new cycles are starting and so much change is
happening and I wanted to be available for it.
I do not still look the way that I look in this video.
It's, it's been some months, but Virgo, what has been going on
because some changes are happening.
You are not the person you were back in Capricorn season, that's
for sure. You have been going through some
major alchemical shifting. And as we move into tourist
season, I feel that a lot of you have been going through some
kind of process that feels like a process of preparation and
readying for a really big project to begin.
Now. A could be an actual project.
It could be a new direction in your life or a new chapter.
It could just be a new way of being.
But some of you are really starting something new right
now. And it feels that a lot of you
are starting things that have to do with your sense of purpose,
your life path, potentially career and vocation.
It feels like a lot of you are putting yourself out into the
world in some kind of way. I said back in Capricorn season,
I feel like you're preparing for coming out in 2026.
What are you coming out with, Virgo?
Tell me in the comments. I really want to know what are
these new projects? What are these new life paths?
What are these new directions? What who's the new you that we
are now getting to meet in Taurus season?
Because this is when it really starts to manifest and become
visible. So Taurus is an earth energy
like a Virgo. And coming into this season you
are just getting some support. It's always nice to be in a
elemental affinity season. It's a stabilizing kind of
support. Taurus lives in a place in the
Virgo solar charts called the 9th house, and the 9th house is
the top of the mountain. This is the place that you get
to after a lot of hard work, and the hard work has taught you a
lot. It has informed you, it has
clarified your beliefs, it has put you into a position where
you have an opinion about some things.
You have your personal philosophy and it is guiding
you. And over the last 7 to 8 years,
this part of your chart has been really activated by the presence
of the outer planet Uranus. Now, Uranus entered Taurus in
2018. And what Uranus brings wherever
it's transiting is innovation. It is an outer planet.
It has an 84 year orbit around the sun.
It spends about seven years in every sign.
That's a hot minute. That's enough time to be pretty
changed by something. So innovation, experimentation
and awakening of consciousness are major themes, key themes for
uranium energy. It is also an energy that can be
very disruptive, very chaotic, it can catch us by surprise and
it can completely turn things around in very unexpected ways.
But ultimately this energy is about liberation and awakening.
So over these last 7 to 8 years, Uranus traveling through Taurus
and through your 9th house has been a period of time when I
think a lot of Virgos were really on a quest for something
in the 9th house. One of the key themes is
questing. What were you seeking in this
journey that you've been on Virgo?
A lot of you were seeking your own guidance.
You were seeking your own perennial wisdom.
You were seeking your own teachings.
This is a place in your chart that actually wants you to
recognize that you hold high wisdom teachings, that you are a
teacher and a guide and an advisor.
And all teachers, guides and advisors are also students and
seekers and people who have needed to be advised.
And the ways that we become wise are by asking questions and
learning and then putting it into practice.
And so over these last 7 to 8 years, I feel that a lot of you
have been following a call to expand your consciousness in
some way. And in this expansion of your
consciousness, you may have been turned around and disoriented
more than a couple of times. You probably needed to let go of
a lot of your attachments to certain kinds of ideas,
particularly attachments to like I'm going to say value systems,
you know, And this could be something like, if you think
back to yourself in 2018 and maybe you recognize that you
used to have a lot of judgement about something.
Maybe it's like a particular type of person or a particular
kind of idea or something like that.
But over this last stretch of time, you've had all these
experiences that actually really transformed that judgement.
You've developed insight and compassion and awareness around
like what creates the situation for the thing that you were
judging. You've also recognized that you
maybe have some kinds of qualities that reflect or are
similar and you've you've shifted and now that thing that
you used to judge is not at all giving you the same kind of
vibe. You understand it in a really
different way. You might not want to get close
to it, but you have some kind of awareness that allows you to
work with it somehow. So that's just an example.
OK? I don't know what it is for you.
I would really love to know if you want to let me know in a
comment. But I do feel that a lot of you
are update, you have updated and innovative your world views in
some really important ways. And I think that a lot of you
have really gained a lot of learning and practical
experience and you you have embodied the knowledge that you
have been seeking. And that is what produces
wisdom. It's when we grapple with it,
right? When we embody it, when we try
to manifest with it, when we interact with it and like
struggle and fail and all that. That's actually when we become
wise. And I feel that this has been
the process for a lot of you is maybe you were on a path of
education or higher learning. Maybe you were just seeking
answers for yourself. Maybe you were trying to do some
kind of self development work, but you've really had to apply
it in your body. And now your life is asking you
to take leadership with that energy.
Somehow your life is asking you to take this energy out and into
the world and make it public. And so there are themes here
like if you've been studying something for a while now,
you're going to make a career out of it.
Or if you've been developing yourself in some kind of way for
a while, then now you're ready to be known for it or something.
And in Taurus season, Uranus is leaving Taurus almost
immediately. So Taurus season starts on the
19th of April and then on the 23rd, I think 23rd, somewhere
between the 23rd and the 25th. I can't read my own notes.
Uranus is leaving Taurus and moving into Gemini.
Now Gemini is a mutable sign like Virgo, and it holds the
heaven of your chart. And so when I was saying there's
this transition from something you've been learning now into
something that you like own and claim, you're going from a
student, you're becoming a teacher, right?
You studied something, now it's becoming a career that is a
transition from the 9th house to the 10th house and the 10th
house. Where Gemini is for Virgos, is a
place of public recognition. It is your most visible, social,
externalized self. This is the place where we
understand a lot more about the power that you hold in your life
and your relationship with your own authority and also your
relationship with authority in the world.
This is also a place where we get information about your
career and your vocation and your life path and how you are
holding your energy in the world as if it means something because
it does. So what kind of person are you
now? Uranus will be in Gemini for
another seven years. It will be there until 2033.
And over these next seven years, now you need to innovate and
experiment with your vocation and career.
You need to get upheaved and surprised and turned all kinds
of ways around when it comes to who you are in the world and
what you are doing and standing for and the kind of authority or
power that you represent. Now Venus is moving into Gemini
with Uranus. It moves in the day before and
Venus is the planetary ruler of Taurus.
So there is so much support coming in for you with this
transition and I feel that you are ready.
Whatever it is that you have been doing that is now
facilitating this paradigm shift in your life, you're ready for
it. You have embodied it again.
There is this feeling of embodied wisdom that now is
coming into like a role that is more visible where people are
seeing you as some kind of authority or guide.
And you can also see that in yourself.
And I think that you will increasingly feel and sense and
see this in yourself over the coming years.
Hi, I'm sorry to interrupt your horoscopes, but I have a
question to ask you. Have you noticed how many
popular contemporary astrologers are women or AFAB or queer
creative people? I have and it's made me so
curious as to why that is. My name is Alicia and I'm the
community coordinator here at Embodied Astrology.
And on Saturday, June 13th, I'm excited to interview Renee
Sills, Alice Barkleycat, and Blair Bogan from Sister Bright
Astrology about their work as queer astrologers and artists.
What I love most about the astrologers that I follow today,
and these three folks in particular, is that they're
weirdos. And I mean that as high
compliment. They're all unconventional
people with brilliant minds. They're witches, healers, and
tricksters who are translating this ancient language of
astrology in ways that are deeply supportive and orienting
for the times that we're in right now.
If you're here listening to an embodied astrology horoscope,
I'm guessing you feel similarly. If you do, I'd like to invite
you to join us on Saturday, June 13th.
We'll be exploring inherent queerness and queering practices
for astrology, blending astrology with other skill sets,
interests, and methodologies, and the power and potential of
this technology when it's placed in the hands of the people.
I'm really interested in knowing more about how we can leverage
astrology for our personal and collective liberation, So if
these lines of inquiry interest you too, I hope you'll join us
for what is sure to be a fun and fascinating conversation.
You'll also be invited to ask your own questions and join in
on the fun. You can find more information
about the event and a link to register in the show notes.
I hope to see you there. Another thing that's happening
in tourist season is that Pluto is stationing retrograde in
Aquarius. I don't always deal with
planetary outer planet retrogrades because they're
retrograde for like half the year, but this one feels
significant in terms of what we've been talking about.
Pluto is stationing retrograde just a couple of days after the
full moon in Scorpio. I'll talk about that next.
But Aquarius is an air sign like Gemini, and where Aquarius lives
in your chart is in the 6th house, which does have to do
with jobs and labor and your responsibility, which is
different than your career or what you're known for or
something like that. But the fact that these changes
are happening at the same time really gives me the feeling that
Virgos are changing the thing that they do.
And I think a lot of you are starting some kind of new job or
you have started or you're about to start or you're shifting what
it is that you do and you're starting to do it in really
different ways. There are major themes this year
and for the foreseeable future that have to do with you working
with relationships and connections and building shared
power with communities and collectives.
There are also major themes around you working with your own
power and how you connect in the world around you through your
nervous system and your energy. Because you really, I think,
want to be empowered right now. And many of you are also like
you're, you're bringing your power to some kind of field that
has to do with making connections, whether this is
information or technology or education or, you know,
something in the arts. But it does feel like there's
this paradigm shift that's happening collectively in the
world that is now creating a sense of environmental readiness
for you to be doing the thing that you are about to do.
I talk a lot about this in your 2026 year head reading.
It is a main theme is thinking about like this big new picture
that you're headed into. And this is a picture that is
going to take the next 7 to 18 years to fully get formed.
In the next 7 to 18 years, all kinds of things are going to be
happening. So if you have this map and this
sense of larger big picture coherence and strategy, it can
really help you move through the day-to-day and the seasonal
shifts. Because inside of them,
sometimes you don't always know what you're doing, just like
anybody. So that 2026 year head reading
is about two to three hours. I really take a long time to
break down what's happening with the outer planets, the eclipses
and retrogrades in 2026. You want to know about a lot of
these things. Eclipses have been in your sign.
Retrogrades are moving through your opposite sign.
So the information for that is in the description box in the
show notes below. But this season and tourist
season, some of these kind of bigger picture influences are
really notable and that includes Uranus in Gemini and Pluto and
Aquarius. Otherwise, I'm going to say that
tourist season actually is a season that feels really
cohering. It feels strengthening,
especially in the Virgo charts. It feels like a time when you
are building power and gaining power and kind of understanding
what you're working with and what your options are.
I think that over the course of the last several months in 2026,
there has been this element of preparation for something.
And if you're not fully coming out in Taurus season, then it
probably will be by Leo season. So you're, you're reaching some
kind of point where something is getting formed and shaped and if
it's not fully ready to be presented or applied or, or you
know, start to engage with, then it's getting closer to ready.
There is a full Moon in Scorpio on May 1st and a new Moon in
Taurus on May 16th. And between these loo nations,
Mercury is moving from Aries into Taurus.
Now Aries and Scorpio are Mars ruled energies and Taurus is a
Venus ruled energy. And so between the full moon and
the New moon, I there's something that is happening that
feels like it is. It is ushering you into a way of
being more receptive and in your body about something.
Now, if you go back and listen to my Aries season reading for
you, Virgo, I was talking a lot about having a warrior like
energy and attitude and how important it is that you are
building your own power and that you're building power with
others. And I think that as we move into
tourist season, you're coming out of some energy that had a
lot of intensity to it. And that intensity could have
been extremely energizing and fun to be working with.
It could have also just been really fucking intense and maybe
bringing in some amount of conflict or situations where you
really needed to mobilize or activate or something like that.
But then in tourist season, I feel that a lot of you are like
who you are settling. This is a great time for you to
tap into the perennial truths that you have been seeking for
these last 7 to 8 years. If there are teachers or
teachings or lineages or legacies that when you connect
with them, you're like, yes, this has to do with my reason
why. You know, I feel that way with
astrology. I also feel that way with a lot
of spiritual paths. The perennial wisdom paths are
deeply, deeply a part of my soul.
And, you know, like, sometimes I'll just put on a Dharma talk,
right? And I'll listen to a meditation
teacher talk to me about, you know, consciousness.
And I'm like, yes, right. Or sometimes I go see art and
being around art is so inspiring for me and it reminds me about
something. Being in nature also is very
much this way for me. And the, the, the vastness and
the intricacy of the details and the enormity of the earth,
really just like it makes my mind feel expansive.
It, it puts me into my right size, you know, where I can just
be part of a whole and I can kind of let go of my ego trips
and, and be really receptive. And I feel like this is the
energy that you want to be connecting with between the full
moon and the new moon. And especially as we approach
the New moon in Taurus, I feel like you want to be receptive to
that which lights you up and makes you feel alive and gets
you connected with your deep wisdom.
You want to be inspired, you want to be motivated, you want
to be reminded of the perennial truths that speak most deeply to
your heart. So what is that for you, Virgo?
Is it getting outside into nature?
Is it connecting with particular teachers or teachings?
Is it astrology? Is it mysticism?
Is it art? Is it science?
What is it connect with that? And then the new moon on the
16th of May follows the Mercury Sun superior conjunction or
kazimi that happens on the 14th of May.
And this Kazimi aligns with the asteroid series.
Now series is about how we nourish ourselves and also how
we nourish others. When we're working with series
as an influence, we are working with seasonal cyclical resource,
and series reminds us that it is not always a season of
abundance. Sometimes it is definitely a
season of loss or scarcity or lack.
And working skillfully with Ceres is also about working
skillfully with our expectations, tending to our
needs when we need to let go in the space of loss.
Also doing what we need to do to replenish and regenerate our own
energy and remember why we are going to keep going.
Why are why we are continuing to tend to our own life?
And so I really feel like this New Moon in Taurus wants you to
be tending to your own life and feeding yourself that which is
the most nourishing for your spirit.
That feels complete. Actually, I think I'm going to
stay there. We talked about the full moon,
we talked about the New moon, we talked about Uranus, we talked
about Pluto. Those are the main themes that
are coming in for tourist season.
I do want to pull a card for you, Virgo.
If you don't know by now, this last couple of months since
Capricorn season, I have been working with the Lineages of
Change deck for these readings because this is a time of change
and we can benefit from the teachings and the wisdom
guidance of the ones or many of the ones who have really
prepared us to work skillfully with change.
If you're an Octavia Butler fan, you might really love this deck.
It comes through with a lot of the wisdom that she brought
through around shaping change. And change is God.
And the Virgo thought leader and visionary Adrian Marie Brown, I
believe, was one of the main catalysts for this deck to come
into the world. So we're just going to tune in
right now. And Virgo, I want to invite you
to tune in with your body, to tune in with your breath, and to
tune in with the Earth, remembering that you are a child
of Earth. And we are going to ask for
guidance that can come through for Virgo in Taurus season as
Uranus leaves Taurus and moves into Gemini.
As we work with the relationship between Uranus and Pluto and the
Full Moon and the New Moon and Mercury's Kazemi with Ceres, we
are asking Spirit for the most helpful information to come
through for Virgo that will facilitate the greatest possible
benefits for all on Earth. And the Earth itself wanted to
come through. Oh Virgo Major Arcana coming
through for Virgo in tourist season.
He pulled the star. I love this picture.
The star relates with Aquarius, and Aquarius sometimes is talked
about as the sign of the future and the sign of youth.
And I love that the artist who created this card has this young
person, you know, in front of this just field of stars.
And, yeah, these rainbow shapes are kind of floating around
them. And this look that the kid has
on their face, you know, is like, what's possible out there?
What's going on? So what's coming through for me
right now with this card and the star?
As confirmation for your Taurus reading and also as final
advice, maybe not full confirmation for everything I
said, but its own confirmation is that you contain all
knowledge within you, Virgo. You are made out of universal
substance and stuff. The cells in your body are the
stuff of stars, and the wisdom of the star card is that we are
really not alone. The sun is a star.
The sun is not even, you know, the most powerful, biggest star.
It's just like a normal star on the kind of faraway tip of the
arm of the Milky Way. And there are countless infinite
stars in the sky. And stars are very powerful
beings. And just like us, they're also
temporary beings. But they shine their light, they
burn and combust their gases without apology.
And what stars can give us is everything.
And when we really TuneIn with our own light and with our own
lives, and we give what we have to give, we give everything that
we can give to these lives and to the larger constellations
that we are a part of. And so the Star Card is
encouraging you to be yourself, to really follow your own truth,
to know your own wisdom and to tap into your unique gifts, your
particular curiosities and the directions that compel you the
most and to have confidence in that because you don't need to
be anybody other than you. There is nothing that you need
to prove in this life. And very, very deeply, the
person that you need to satisfy the most is yourself.
So this card coming in with this season feels exciting for me.
It feels like it's time for you to claim who you are, Virgo,
because I don't know what you've been up to, but you've been
building something, you've been preparing for something.
You are someone right now that the world needs.
And I feel like a lot of you have been kind of more
underground with certain developments and it's your time
to shine. OK, Please stick around with me
for a couple of minutes. I want to tell you more about
what is coming up at Embodied Astrology and Tourist Season and
Beyond. If you liked this video, Virgo,
and it felt helpful for you, please let me know by liking,
commenting, and making sure that you subscribe and follow the
channel really helps me out, helps me to continue offering
these free videos. So I appreciate you and I'm
wishing you all the best in tourist Season and beyond.
Hey, don't go. Away.
There's more. I want to tell you.
First off, I'm incredibly. Excited to say.
That I'll be. Offering another round of my
Astrology Foundations Practitioners program, your
chart is body starting at the end of August this year.
This year long in depth experiential program teaches you
to read, interpret and translate astrological symbolism through
multi sensory awareness. It teaches you to access and
cultivate your embodied intuition and communicate about
astrology in ways that are directly meaningful for those
whose charts you're reading. I only offer practitioner
programs every few years, so if you've been waiting for a chance
to learn astrology. With me.
This is it. Check out the link in the show
notes for program dates and more information.
Second, if you feel excited and energized by the ways I deliver
astrology and weave it with embodied awareness, I think
you'll love my weekly class Somatic Space.
Every Monday or every Monday of every season.
You can join me live from 8:00 to 9:30 AM Pacific, or catch the
recording when it's convenient for you.
And start your week off with a gentle, accessible mind, body,
heart, and energy practice specially designed to support
you and your life through the astrological weather patterns of
the week ahead. Third, last month we launched a
new monthly series on the Astrology of Spiritual
Warriorship with Aziz Besants. Aziz is a somatic.
Therapist. Cultural Worker.
Organizer, performer and astrologer, and he's joined in
collaboration with guest facilitators from Minneapolis,
Palestine and other sites of resistance around the world.
With Saturn and Neptune commencing their era defining
cycle in the sign of Aries this year, we're being invited into a
spiritual initiation rooted in the realities of occupation and
colonial violence in our world and communities and rooted in
collective resistance to it. This is spirituality which
remembers the past, is fluid yet steadfast in meeting the
present, and is not only willing to dream wildly into the future
we most desire, but fight tooth and nail for it.
The series invites us to strengthen and evolve land based
spiritual practices that affirm commitment to life and
relationships as core components of sustainability, community
resilience and collective power. In last month's session, Aziz
and Nova Mutangji laid a foundation for the series by
working with Aries Planetary. Ruler Mars.
As a guide and ancestor who shows us how to build heat as
the basis for action from the depths of the soil upward.
This month's session, which takes place on Tuesday, April
28th with Aziz and Alana Kwok, will explore Neptune's
relationship with the dream state and pineal gland.
We'll practice finding body states that open different ways
of seeing and knowing, work with impulse as intelligence, learn
to differentiate vigilance from deeper knowing, and drop into a
navigation system that is ancient, ancestral, and guided
by spirit. All sessions in the series are
available by recording. If you can't attend live and you
can drop into a single session or get a discount by signing up
for the whole series. Finally, as you already heard
from my colleague Alicia, on June 13th, I'll be joining two
of my favorite astrologers, Blair Bogan and Alice Sparkly
Cat, for a conversation where we'll be talking about
cultivating queer creative astrological practices and using
our craft as a tool for collective liberation.
This conversation is open to the public and we would love to
share it with you. You can find more information on
everything I just mentioned and more at embodiedastrology.com or
in the show notes below. And last thing, if you're still
here and you love this work, please do drop a comment like
hype, subscribe and share it with a friend.
It really does help us out and helps us to continue these free
offerings. Thanks so much for tuning in.
