Taurus in Magic
Taurus supports the sort of stability that comes from having healthy, fertile livestock, a verdant garden, plenty of willing help and the means to keep it all going.
When the moon is in Taurus, this is the best time to work magic related to love (the stable sort, think marriage and family), large purchases – especially real estate and tools, general material gain, career or long-term financial stability, any stability, any kind of material increase including in your garden.
This is also a good time for healing magic related to the body parts ruled by Taurus which include the throat, neck and ears.
Gardening by the Moon in Taurus
Taurus is a productive Earth sign. When the moon is in Taurus is an excellent time for planting and transplanting.
During the waning, third quarter phase, between the full moon and the fourth quarter is the best time for root vegetables and is also good for perennials and bulbs and transplanting anything.
When the moon is waxing in Taurus, it’s a good time for planting any seeds that grow above the ground.
The first quarter is best for leafy greens and grains, (spinach, lettuce and cabbage are particularly fond of Taurus) the second quarter for fruits (including fruits that pose as vegetables, like squash tomatoes and peppers).
