Rooted Wisdom and Earthly Embodiment
Welcome back to Tarot Through the Zodiac, our 12-week exploration of the elements, archetypes, and astrological alignments woven through the tarot. This week, we’re slowing things down and digging deep with the energy of Taurus, the earthy stabilizer of the zodiac.
Taurus invites us to move from impulse to intention. In tarot, Taurus teaches us to build, embody, and align with what truly matters.
♉ Taurus at a Glance
Element: Earth 🜃
Modality: Fixed (persistent, stabilizing)
Ruler: Venus (beauty, values, harmony)
Mantra: “I have.”
Tarot Suit Alignment: Pentacles
Taurus is the cosmic gardener. It values what grows over time; security, beauty, peace, and commitment. It moves slowly, but with purpose. When Taurus shows up in a tarot reading, it often signals a need to ground into your body, your boundaries, and your values.
🜃 Earth Element in the Tarot: Pentacles
The Suit of Pentacles governs the material world; money, resources, work, health, and our relationship to time and value. Taurus, as the first Earth sign, offers structure, comfort, and the patience needed to manifest lasting results.
When Taurus energy is present in a reading, you may be asked to:
Re-evaluate what you’re building
Slow down and trust the pace of growth
Nurture what you already have
Ground back into body-based intuition
Keywords: Patience, security, embodiment, stewardship, value, consistency
“Pentacles ask: What are you building and are you building it with care?”
🃏 Major Arcana Cards That Resonate With Taurus
1. The Hierophant (Card V)
Astrologically ruled by Taurus
Symbol of sacred structure, spiritual traditions, and inner devotion
When The Hierophant appears: Where are you being called to recommit? To learn? To embody wisdom in ritual?
2. The Empress (Card III)
Venus-ruled card of sensuality, fertility, and creative abundance
She embodies Taurus’ love for the beauty of life, home, and nature
Ask: Where can I soften into receptivity and trust the growth I’ve nurtured?
👑 Taurus in the Court Cards
Taurus energy resonates strongly with the Queen and King of Pentacles:
Queen of Pentacles → nurturing, sensuous, grounded
King of Pentacles → structured, accomplished, secure
These archetypes model Taurus’ power in creating stability; in business, home, and within.
They invite you to ask:
→ What routines or rituals sustain me?
→ Am I honoring the value of what I’ve already created?
🧘 Reflection Prompts
Use these questions to deepen your understanding of Taurus energy in your readings or journaling practice:
1. Where am I craving more stability or ease?
2. How am I honoring what I already have?
3. Am I taking care of my body, my space, and my time?
4. What do I need to tend consistently to see it flourish?
💬 Taurus Affirmation
“I trust the pace of growth. What I tend with love, flourishes.”
Repeat this before your readings, while journaling, or during quiet moments in nature.
🧿 How to Read for Taurus Energy
In your tarot practice, Taurus energy may show up when:
You’re craving comfort but resisting change
Your growth feels slow, but steady
You need to re-ground your values before acting
Look for Pentacles and The Hierophant in your spreads, or pay attention to the pace of the cards. Are you rushing a process that needs ripening?
