Hi everyone!
We’re coming into Taurus energy...earthy, grounded, solid as a rock! Taurus energy is Venus ruled so plug into Mother Earth’s heart!
What’s been happening:
Lots of earth activity since 11th April...not quite the predicted time as indicated with the Libran Full Moon update which indicated activity between 3rd and 11th April. Nevertheless, there has been ongoing activity across the planet since 13th, primarily earthquakes and some new volcanic activity. Also, more solar activity. You’ll find a summary at www.earthchangesmedia.com
This refers to the 11th through 13th April: The Earth is shaking! Scientists find no explanation to the 39 earthquakes that rocked the planet in just two days. “Something is wrong! There are too many strong earthquakes” believes Romania’s top seismologist, Gheorghe Marmureanu, who finds the latest Indonesian quake very unusual.
The series started with two massive quakes in Indonesia measuring 8.6 and 8.2 on the Richter scale rapidly followed by three more only slightly smaller in Mexico within hours.
Taurus is an earth energy ruled by Venus and is very much about Mother Earth, fertility and abundance. How aligned are we with the earth and all that she offers? Do we believe that we are supported by the earth or are we too busy trying to do it all for ourselves?
Let go of the physical striving:This next month is very much about attending to all those physical security issues that have been rising up in these past months. No, it doesn’t mean working harder, working overtime. It’s all about LOVE!!!
Do what you love and the money will follow: What do you really love...work, relationships, home, family, travel, creative pleasures, hobbies, sports etc. etc.
In Taurus, Venus is all about what we value/love, self-worth/self-love, personal gifts and talents, money earned through gifts and talents and not least...how we love our bodies. This next month is the perfect time to get in touch with what you truly love in all areas of your life, coming into alignment with the earth energies which will take you forward to fulfil your own higher potential.
It’s a win/win when we are fully aligned to the earth and prepared to invest in the truth of our ‘calling’ this lifetime. Of course, trust is a pre-requisite! Do you believe in divine providence????
Let off steam as it arises: Taurus tends to ‘hold on’ so this is just a reminder to keep letting go during the next month. The bull is slow to anger but when things reach breaking point, look out! This is a little like the build up of energy at the centre of the earth which can explode in a volcanic eruption.
Don’t let the bull dig in and hold on to unwanted energies...material possessions included. There is a tendency to attach to the material world and materialism as a credo for living when we are under the influence of Taurus. Acquisition of more material possessions is not about abundance which flows in and out.
The Scorpio Full Moon in two weeks time will help us all let go of anything which is past its ‘use by’ date...emotional, mental, physical, spiritual.
20th April: Sun moves into Taurus...Grandfather Sun throws his protective cloak around us earthlings as we are guided to our ‘home away from home’!
For the next month we’ve got the Taurus Sun sending enriching rays to any sense of impoverished soil within us. It’s time to start grounding all those fiery ideas that came up for us over the past month. There’s never a better time than Taurus time to bring in what you want. The key is...it must be truly what you love aligning with your destiny!
It’s interesting how we’ve got Mercury and Mars on the go and then ‘Dad and Mum’/Sun and Moon both move into earth centred Taurus within a day of each other. They’ll be keeping a close reign on those crazy kids Mercury and Mars, making sure that desires and actions are well grounded and viable.
Making the cake and eating it too!: It’s a month for laying foundations for your earthly existence.
Make your cake and eat it too!
Basic Ingredients: Start with what you love and value
Add imagination: Build on it with identifying the hopes and dreams.
The icing: Bring the dreams into focus as a vision. Keep embellishing and expanding the vision
Eating the cake: Bringing the vision into physical reality the proof of the ‘pudding’ is in the eating
21st April: New Moon in Taurus 5.17 pm AEST at 1 degree 35 Taurus...the beginnings of bringing heaven to earth!
Call in your abundance!
Taurus is all about physical manifestation and with the moon in this sign, doubly so, as the moon in Taurus is exalted, it’s in heaven...born to be abundant! Time to bring in your own personal harvest! How does your garden grow?
The moon is the feminine and in Taurus is fertile and rich with promise of earthly prosperity.
A Grand Earth Trine: The Taurus New Moon aligned with the Taurus Sun bring abundant healing energies to the warrior and the old dark energies!
This New Moon is beautifully supported by Mars in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn. They are all working together to bring harmony to our earthly lives. We’ve been so challenged by the repairing of the warriors within as we have been brought to changes in the way we operate...lifetimes of warring, fighting and personal wilfulness as the dominant mode of operation. Have you felt the irritation, impatience and anger rising within as we were challenged to bring the inner warrior into a new way of approaching and viewing the world???
We’ve been releasing the old cell memories from our bodies and from Mother Earth. This New Moon is giving us a huge boost of Mother Earth energy and physical support in our lives. Make the most of it by reaffirming your hopes and dreams.
Mars, the old soldier: Since January has been laid up in hospital (Virgo) recovering from war injuries
Now in rehabilitation!!!...moving forward but still in the healing energies of Virgo.
Expected to be fully healed by early July!
‘That long?’ you may ask.
It’s all up to us on an individual level. May well be sooner. Nothing’s fixed!
Continues to dredge the earth/Capricorn, digging up primal energies...old patterns, behaviours, beliefs, ideologies embedded in the earth and us!
The physical body: Taurus rules the body so this positive alignment with Mars and Pluto offers a release of these primal warring energies. Hopefully the body recalibration is going to shift into a new gear in preparation for the next month of Gemini’s reunification of dualities. Because it’s such a big shift in energy I’ve included the summary again. Last time I omitted to include the transit of Venus on 4th June...more Gemini focus.
4th April to 8th August: Big focus on Gemini energies...Meet yourself...the missing twin...mind and heart being called to work together!
4th April to 8th August: Venus is in Gemini, an exceptionally long period of time to stay in one sign.
16th May to 28th June: Venus will be retrograding in Gemini, a rare once-in-8-year event
21st May: A New Moon in Gemini with a solar eclipse – change and more change
4th June: Transit of Venus
11th June: Jupiter enters Gemini for 12 months – expansion of positive energy
20th June: A second New Moon in Gemini
Upcoming Dates:
6th May: Full Moon in Scorpio
10th May: Mercury moves into Taurus until 24th May
14th May: Venus retrograde in Gemini until 26th June
Well that’s it folks for the time being, until the 6th May. Trusting you will make the most of these positive earth energies which should help us ground after months of emotional, watery challenges.
Mind you, we’ve still got Chiron (the wound) and Neptune (higher spirituality) in Pisces (the ocean of the collective unconscious)...long term. But this month, we get to stand back on the earth.
As always, love and blessings
Helen
from the chair ...in the garden!
Remember, it’s all about love
