We have just passed through the Full Moon Portal at one degree Scorpio. This fortnight then, is a winding down of the affairs of this Aries cycle, which began on the 6th. The Sun and Mercury in Taurus, with Venus to follow, on the 30th. The North Node conjuncts Neptune in Aquarius on the 5th, with Jupiter in Capricorn, traveling sextile to Uranus in Pisces, during the coming weeks. Taurus, is that wonderful time, when we all feel, sensual, and deeply connected to our earth bound nature, and all that, that encompasses. The North Node and Neptune are encouraging us to evolve, into our more humane selves, while Jupiter and Uranus, work with reforming our spiritual nature. Capricorn denotes process, rather than a quick fix, although Uranus likes to inspire us, like a lightning bolt, with new insights and experiences, which are of a revelatory nature. Many people will have an aha moment, which allows them to look upon themselves and the World through new eyes. Perhaps a recognition, of our oneness, which happens outside of linear, left brain thinking. Any activities, which allow you then, to move into the right hemisphere, like creativity and meditation, will open the channels, for these new ideas to filter through, more effortlessly. Taurus supports, all creativity, and meditation; remember Buddha is always portrayed as one. Surrender yourself then, in your physicality. Ground and prepare to open yourself to the cosmos, for divine guidance and the revelation of your true purpose.
NEW MOON 15 Taurus 22 May 05, 2008 08:19 p.m.
ARIES : Venus, still lingering in your sign for a moment longer, allows you to indulge yourself in those pursuits which are dear to your heart. Mars in that soppy sign of Cancer, until next fortnight, when it enters into Leo. There will a notable change of pace at that time. Being the fiery person that you are, this will be just the fuel you need to get yourself propelled in the direction, you now want to go. These past weeks, have dragged a little, and this is the impetuous you have been waiting, so patiently for. Pun, totally intended!
TAURUS : Indulgence time again, where you ask to have your needs fulfilled. When YOU are the special person, who demands attention; although this is probably not an unfamiliar occurrence in your life. Let this auspicious time, usher in a new set of behaviors and possible life changes. With the configuration in the sky supporting your growth, why not discard, all that no longer fits. We all outgrow, situations, places and people, among other things, The letting go, is often the hardest part, as we become so attached.
GEMINI : All the mercurial pursuits are encouraged at this time. Grounding your mental abilities in a practical manner, while consciously emptying the mind of superfluous thoughts. Frantically trying to figure everything out, is not part of the equation. Using the mind, to release the mind, is more the nature of things. If you have exhausted yourself, then try a little free floating thought meditation, and use this space to rejuvenate yourself and remember to breath deeply and/or consciously and you will let go of stored tension.
CANCER : In tune with the rhythm of the Moon, as you are, this fortnight finds you looking for a little solitude, perhaps even isolation. There is so much to integrate at this time, and with the energies of the coming weeks, it is probably a good idea to lay low for a moment. There is so little time, to go into your deep emotional nature, during a busy schedule. For this, you need retreat. Processing old patterns of behavior through techniques which include release or forgiveness are paramount.
LEO : Taurus time, tends to make things a bit of a drudge. What’s called for, is something to brighten and lift the spirits of everyone. If you can be this something, and offer a little sunshine, in the darkness, then it will be very welcome. Use your innate ability, by just being your beautiful self, and all will be well. The Sun is closely linked with Saturn and Pluto to start this fortnight, so use there power and strength to ground yourself, and set yourself in good stead for the possible challenging days ahead.
VIRGO : A spiritual awakening is taking place in your life, which helps you to understand, on a much deeper level, then previously experienced. Living through a new potential is exciting and rewarding. As vast new possibilities expose themselves, you find excitement, and the thrill of adventure. Many will use this, in their daily work or lives now. The more you can relax and surrender yourself to this process, the more efficient you will become at recognizing old paradigm thinking and thereby redirecting your thoughts.
LIBRA : What value do you place on your private time? Perhaps you have let boundaries slip, and are too outwardly devoted. Spending time alone, is necessary to realign yourself and the space, where there is no overlap, to just relax in the stillness, without obligation. The quiet also, is a big part of this experience. Having given to you, you will then be able to move out with renewed enthusiasm and the willingness to share, without any resentment. Just beware, that you don’t overdo things and become obsessed with a new routine. Moderation, in everything.
SCORPIO : Pluto working closely with Saturn at this time, allows you the opportunity to ground yourself in new ideas, that benefit your work and life goals. This long process, of dismantling and rebuilding structures, will have us all in the same boat. You could volunteer your services, and be a leader in the areas of remodeling. Your efficiency at recognizing which things are to go and when, is a much needed talent. You may find yourself, placed in an arena which is, up until now, unfamiliar. Let this not deter you, for it is the very challenge you require.
SAGITTARIUS : Jupiter traveling with Uranus, is spicing up your life, to the degree that you are being exposed to your more sensitive nature. Perhaps, you are experiencing some dreams and emotions, which are new to you. Embrace them, and be vigilant for the gifts and insights that they offer you. Dreams are filled with symbolism, which can all be used on your path of self-discovery and truth-seeking. Find a teacher, or learn to trust your inner guidance when it comes to deciphering them.
CAPRICORN : You are being pushed along, at quite a pace currently, and this makes for pressure in your life. Find ways to ground the energy, and try to not overdo things. Usually quite good at pacing yourself, you could find yourself a little off kilter, if you over extend yourself, and the tendency is strong, to do just that, now. Physically placing yourself on the earth, is a good exercise. Go bare footed at least, and place as much of you, on the earth as possible. Surround yourself, in the beauty of nature and listen to the songs of the birds.
AQUARIUS : You could find yourself moving at jet speed over the coming weeks, although having said this, it could well be in the realms of your imagination, rather than, in day to day life. One moment it’s the intellect which soars, and the next, it is that space where it is challenging to hold two thoughts together. The balancer here, is finding a process which works, to ground the energies. Even practical daily activities are good, at getting yourself firmly in 3D, if that is where you choose to be. If not, you will have to return, from time to time, so it may be still a good practice.
PISCES : You could also read Aquarius this fortnight, with the configurations in the sky, affecting you in a similar way. The teeter totter, from left to right brain, is giving you a little grief. Just remember that on the way up, you have no control. It is only when you put your feet on the earth, that you can determine the height of the next, up movement. Using this as your analogy, perhaps it is better to not go too high or too fast, and make the ride uncomfortable for yourself and the other. Just relax and enjoy the ride.
