My Morning Ritual Setup
Woke up stupid early today, around 5:45 AM. Felt groggy as hell. Remembered my plan to try working with Taurus horoscope energy for May 28th. Chugged a big glass of water first – gotta hydrate.
Grabbed my phone and pulled up the Taurus details for the day. Read how Venus and Jupiter were supposedly playing nice in my earthy corner. The gist? Focus on grounding stuff, getting practical, and building stable foundations. Also something about avoiding stubborn streaks.
Made some strong black tea. Sat outside on my slightly damp porch steps. Wanted that literal “earth” feeling since Taurus vibes with the ground. Picked three things to actually try:
- Plant some herbs for my windowsill garden
- Rearrange my cluttered work desk setup
- Actually reply to those emails I’ve been putting off
Figured planting was literal earth connection. Desk organization = stable foundation. Emails = practical action. Felt simple enough.
Let’s Get This Done (Mostly)
Started with the dirt. Dug out old seed packets – basil and thyme. Filled those little pots with soil mix. Got dirt absolutely everywhere. Kneeling on the floor, packing soil, actually felt weirdly calming. Focused only on getting seeds covered just right. No thoughts about work chaos. Just seeds and dirt. Taurus would be proud, maybe.
Next tackled the godforsaken desk. Paper towers of doom. Pens everywhere. Old receipts. Cleared the whole surface onto the floor. Wiped it down properly. Only put back what I really use daily. Felt good seeing clean space. Like clearing mental clutter too. Stubbornness warning popped into my head – had to stop myself from meticulously color-coding pens. Too much Taurus energy isn’t helpful either!
Emails were the tough part. Had like 12 sitting there needing replies. Grumbled about it. Brewed more tea. Sat down and just started typing replies – short, practical, no overthinking. Didn’t craft perfect prose. Just answered the questions or gave clear yes/no answers. Hit “send” fast before I chickened out. Felt relief immediately.
Where Things Got Weird
Mid-afternoon slump hit hard. Normally I’d scroll social media. Instead, tried to embody “Taurus grounding.” Put both feet flat on the floor while sitting. Took slow, deep breaths for like two minutes. Sounds silly? Maybe. But it actually pulled me out of that frantic, scattered energy. Just sat there feeling solid.
A neighbor popped by unannounced to rant about something dumb. Normally, I’d get annoyed. Remembered Taurus likes stability and hates pointless friction. Just listened quietly, nodded, didn’t engage in the drama. Said “hm, that sounds tough” a few times. He left quicker than usual. Win.
Wrap Up & Real Talk
Overall? It wasn’t magic. The sun didn’t beam extra light on my basil seeds. But paying real attention to “earthy, practical, stable” goals did shift my day.
What kinda worked:
- The physical tasks (planting, desk clearing) genuinely smoothed my mood. Hands busy, mind chill.
- Practical email replies saved future me stress. Just getting it done.
- Brief grounding moments did cut through afternoon static. Simple stuff works sometimes.
What flopped:
- Trying too hard being “stable” almost made me obsessive about desk organization. Dial it back.
- Ignoring stubbornness? Easier said than done. Caught myself debating a minor point in ONE email way too long. Old habits die hard.
Was it the stars? Was it just me deciding to focus? Honestly, who knows. Maybe both. Felt like using the Taurus “vibe” as a rough checklist helped me lean into helpful tendencies instead of fighting them. Didn’t transform my life, but gave the day a steadier rhythm. Worth trying again tomorrow? Probably.
