Venus In Taurus: Body and Beauty
Venus moved into Taurus on March 30th, 2026, and will remain there through April 24, 2026, before moving into Gemini.

Well, we have 5 planets in Taurus on this New Moon: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, and Uranus! The North Node (which is a calculated point, not a planet or object), which is a karmic or fated point, is also in Taurus!
So, we have energies representing our will (Sun), our emotional needs (Moon), communication (Mercury), expansion and wisdom (Jupiter), and change (Uranus) all in Taurus.
