THE ARCHETYPE OF THE MONTH

Taurus

Macarons for breakfast. Lilac blossoms and plenty of time! Our dear Taurus is THE archetype of embodiment and the Venusian principle – the sensual, enduring power that loves beautiful things. No pushing, no hesitation – Taurus decides and stays.

Its energy is calm, sensual, and deeply rooted: carried by a fine sense of value, quality, and true enjoyment. Where there was movement before, now there is stability. Things are allowed to settle. To take root, to grow slowly. Taurus trusts the pace of life to truly feel everything and enjoy it with all the senses.

In fashion, this sign is expressed through a floral presence: silhouettes that adapt to the body rather than shaping it, materials one wants to feel, colors that ground rather than stand out. We think of warm earth, soft light, skin touched by the sun. Clothing that becomes an expression of self-worth – consciously chosen, sensually experienced, and worn with a naturalness that doesn't seek attention but receives it effortlessly. The time of the Taurus sun invites us to slow down and listen more closely. What truly feels good? What endures? Enjoyment instead of haste, quality instead of excess, calm instead of stimulation. Our wardrobe is not reinvented, but rather lovingly refined and enriched. Soft, durable, and made to last. Or, what would Venus do?

THE ICON

Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn is Taurus in its purest, most beautiful form. Not loud, not over-the-top, but unforgettable. Her style was the perfect balance of simplicity and luxury. Nothing was too much, yet everything was just right.

Fine fabrics, clean lines, perfect proportions. Her connection to Hubert de Givenchy was probably no coincidence: together, they created an aesthetic that remains the epitome of timeless elegance to this day. Givenchy not only designed her iconic film looks, but he also understood her need for clarity, comfort, and quiet sophistication. Fashion that didn't disguise, but rather empowered. Her wardrobe consisted of a few perfectly chosen pieces: simple dresses, fine knitwear, cigarette pants, ballet flats. Everything seemed light, wearable, and at the same time completely well-thought-out. For her, luxury never meant excess, always quality and a great deal of feeling. Perhaps it's no coincidence that she later consciously retired to a quieter life in Tolochenaz, Switzerland, on Lake Geneva. There she lived away from the noise, surrounded by nature, animals, and a daily life that reflected precisely these Taurean qualities: simplicity, groundedness, and true beauty in the small things. Her Taurean energy gave her the beautiful ability to simply be, and in doing so, to say it all.

THE STYLE CODE

The Bull Look

Color Palette: Your color palette resembles one of the first warm afternoons, the first bare skin in the sun. Creamy nuances, melting pistachio ice cream, delicate rosé, dusty sage, deep moss green, caramel, honey, and dark chocolate. The colors blend into each other, soft, flowing, without harsh edges. Everything appears rich, nourished, vibrant, nothing cool, nothing distant.

Silhouette: Your silhouettes caress the body instead of controlling it. Fabrics glide over the skin, follow every movement, cling without constricting. Slip dresses that sway with every step, wide trousers that fall gently, fine knitwear that provides warmth while letting the skin feel. It's not about staging; it's about touch.

Material: To achieve this feeling of true comfort in one's own body. Silk that feels cool on the skin. Cashmere that feels like an embrace. Linen that breathes. Soft leather that becomes even more beautiful with time.

Styling: Taurus doesn't choose with the eye alone; they choose with their hands, with a deep inner "yes." A silk top peeking out from under an open knit, trousers that move with every step, a dress that shows just enough without ever being too much. Jewelry lies warm against the skin, gold, organic, as if it has always belonged. Perhaps a ring, perhaps a necklace that is never taken off. Accessories are not statements but memories. A bag that is always reached for. Shoes that break in like a familiar path. Everything carries a story, everything becomes more personal over time. One might think Tauruses invented the idea of circular fashion.

THE RITUAL

Indulge & Ground

A ritual for pleasure. For value. For embodiment. Taurus doesn't start in the head; it starts in the body.
We don't begin with analysis, but with feeling:

- What feels good?
- What brings me peace?
- What truly nourishes me?

You go through your wardrobe, slowly. You touch the fabrics. Really. What feels valuable? What feels like you?
Taurus doesn't decide quickly.
But when it decides, it sticks.

Perhaps you invest in a piece that:

- fits perfectly
- feels incredible
- and grounds you every time you wear it

Not many pieces. The right ones.

THE DESIGNER

Valentino Garavani

With his death in 2026, the fashion world loses one of its great voices. His legacy remains in fabrics, in cuts, in that feeling of luxury that cannot be explained, but felt.

Valentino reminds us that true style has nothing to do with speed, but with depth. With touch. With what remains. Valentino Garavani also embodies the bull in its most luxurious, softest form. His fashion is not a production, but a feeling, one that lasts. From the beginning, he was never about trends, but about beauty that truly touches. About fabrics that flow, colors that have depth, silhouettes that celebrate the body without dominating it. His signature is unmistakable: iconic red, warm, rich, the finest materials, made to be worn and experienced in the most beautiful gardens and at the most beautiful parties.

Valentino understood luxury not as excess, but as quality, as that quiet but unwavering knowledge that only the best is good enough. In Hollywood, he became a legend. Stars like Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, or Julia Roberts wore his clothes on the most important stages in the world.

His designs were never loud, and precisely because of that, unforgettable. They gave women room to shine, instead of stealing their show. His creations moved with the body, not against it. They enveloped, emphasized, flattered, and created precisely that effortless elegance that never demands attention but receives it naturally. Women never looked costumed in Valentino, always completely themselves. As it should be!

COSMIC NOTES - Monthly Horoscope May 2026

May begins with an intense Full Moon, casting a fine, clear light on our inner and outer values. A tension arises between the desire for security and the call for depth, a tension that is less pressing and more awakening, like the first swim in the Limmat – It is a quiet invitation to look more closely: What truly nourishes, and what only feels like it.

This month's energy is palpable, yet it demands no haste. Rather, strength emerges when we stay in our own rhythm and do not let ourselves be carried away by every external dynamic. May opens up a space where awareness is more important than speed, and where clarity cannot be forced but can be experienced.

By mid-month, the New Moon brings us a calmer, grounding quality. New impulses do not seek a loud beginning but rather a conscious setting. It is a time to re-engage the senses more strongly, not just to think about life, but to feel it. Enjoyment becomes a form of alignment, in the simple, in the natural, in the present. Thus, in May, a quiet, sensual depth unfolds. It manifests in moments of slowness, in touches, in taste, in the quality of what we surround ourselves with. This attitude is also reflected in outward expression: fabrics should be soft, materials honest, shapes clear and understated. It's not about effect, but about sensation, about an aesthetic that naturally connects with one's own body and rhythm.

May reminds us that true stability does not arise from clinging, but from conscious experience. And that enjoyment is not a luxury, but an access to oneself.
