Five Coronavirus-friendly Things to Do During Venus' Transit of Taurus

by James Kelleher April 01, 2020

1. Make a nice soup. The sign of Taurus symbolizes food. It also rules the water element. Venus is the planet of the arts. You can use this time to practice the culinary arts, or you can just work on improving your diet.

2. Go for a walk outside in nature. Venus is the planet of beauty. There is nothing more beautiful than nature. Nothing is better for lifting the mood and rebalancing your body than getting outside in the elements.

3. Do something creative. Venus is the planet of the arts and the creative process. There are all kinds of ways you can do this: art, music, cooking, or just making your house look nice. And you can also do it passively. Put on some music and just listen. Or you could always dance around like an idiot. Welcome to my world.

4. Connect with friends. Venus is the planet of love and friendship. I have never understood when people get depressed when a friend moves away. Have you ever heard of the telephone, Facetime, Skype? In some ways, the distancing that has been mandated by the Coronavirus might even be a blessing. Having friends visit is really something that is best done sparingly. You know what Benjamin Franklin used to say. "Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days!"

5. Drink Mantra Water - Venus is the planet that rules the water element. Water can hold vibration. Taurus is the sign of speech. A mantra is a sanskrit word that has a specific vibration that can produce a certain effect within yourself and in your environment. There is one mantra that is the most powerful mantra for healing and for anything that is life threatening. It's called the Maha Mrityunjay Mantra. It is also called the Mrita Sanjivani Mantra, and was given to Shukra (Venus' name in Vedic mythology) by Siva, in order to give him the power to raise people from the dead. Anyway, you can play a recording of this mantra next to a container of water, and then drink a mouthful of the water each day, for a little dose of protective energy.

Here's a website that has a free download (MP3 file) of the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra. I am not connected with the organization that owns the website. But it's a nice version of the mantra and it's free.
