The Sun is fresh in the sign of Taurus. Mars is about to enter Aries, on the 22nd, followed closely by Venus re-entering that sign on the 24th and Mercury enters Gemini, it’s favorite haunt, on May 01. New Moon is, of course, in Taurus, and will be on the 25th, at 5 degrees. Taurus, is ruled by the planet Venus, which thankfully turned direct, on the 18th, after its’ long stint in retrograde. Relationship, as a theme, has been thwart with disruption, chaos and uncertainty. It’s been a bit of a “now you see me, now you don’t”, kind of scenario. It won’t be until early June, however, when she enters Taurus, that things will start to solidify, on that front. Aries, is always looking for a battle or a fight, to get the juices flowing. What we could look at, are ways to direct that fire. Turning that powerful energy, into the creation of positive or valuable things, like the expression of deep and passionate love. Sexuality, is also in the forefront of people’s thinking now, and with the added sensuality of the Taurus Sun, you may want to take your libido out for a stroll. Just beware, there will be a lot of competition on the block. Jupiter moves in to join Chiron and Neptune, as the force of change, with regard to deep and profound spiritual healing.
NEW MOON 05 Taurus 04 April 25, 2009 11:24 a.m.
ARIES : Never mind, that the Sun has left your sign, as you now have, Venus and Mars, dancing the tango, over the coming weeks. Mars, asserting itself, in a forthright way, and Venus, also, although she is a little less comfortable doing so. Allow the Divine Feminine to arise in you now, whether you are male or female. Emotions are deep, powerful and filled with jealousy, and possessiveness. People could be looking for a fight, to hold their own. Mind that this is not you. Or if it is, at least play fair.
TAURUS : Birthdays, are a splendid time of year, when you get to overindulge your senses. With Venus, your ruler, in the sign of Aries, you could find yourself lusting after, the other, rather than material objects. Play it safe, with regard your sexuality, and make it as fair as possible on the relationship front. You could get swept along with the current, only to regret it later. Saturn is providing a solid foundation, at this time, along with Mercury in your sign. Whatever you miss now, you will get the opportunity to catch up on over the coming weeks.
GEMINI : Mercury enters your sign, early May, for a short stint, before it goes retrograde, back through Taurus. This could cause you some frustration, and delays. Everything will be revealed, by the time your birthday comes around, and will be well in place by mid-June. It’s a good thing that you are so adaptable to change. The hardest part for you, is to be consistent. Understand, that your lack of continuity drives others crazy. You are just going to have to learn to cut yourself some slack, with regard to the opinions of others.
CANCER : As mentioned, this is a deeply feeling Moon cycle, that has you reaching the depths of your emotions, with the possibility of clinging to them, and also wanting to protect yourself, from the outbursts of others. At the end of the day, people are always going to see things, from their perspective, and will do all that they can to maintain their own agendas. The process of awakening is a gradual one, oft times, filled with challenging situations.Do your best to keep your equilibrium, when chaos surrounds.
LEO : This is a frustrating fortnight, that sees you taking one step forward, and then two back. Be prepared though, for this is going to intensify through May, and will finally reach a reprieve, in early June. The up-side is that you will have plenty of juice and fire, to achieve the things, that you deem important now. Their importance, however, could fluctuate, and you could find yourself changing course, mid-steam. Not to worry, as this is the best time, to get used to the concept of rapid, and consistent change.
VIRGO : Any new healing modalities entering your sphere of learning, will be very profound and life altering. This is the time for great healing, for you, your environment and the Planet, Harness this healing energy and use it’s potential to blast through any blocks and inconsistencies. Be a responsible role model for those following in your footsteps. The best way to teach, is by example. Words, only serve to confuse, and alienate others. Be your authentic, and blessed self.
LIBRA : Venus and Mars in your polar opposite sign, causing you some grief, now. There is an air of restlessness, from either you, or your partner. In fact it could be from both. There are periods in life, when you need to find opportunities to express your autonomous nature, within the structure of your relationship. There is not the necessity that either, of you, need to move out of, or away from, and yet rather, have a look at your day to day life together, and make the necessary changes.
SCORPIO : This is the moon cycle which culminates, in the Full Moon, in your sign. So now, we lead up to that, with the implementation of new values, releasing old ones and investigating all the rest. What holds you back at this time, which is up for release? There is a tendency for everyone to be extremely hasty now, so be very careful to not throw the proverbial baby, out with the bath water. This is also the time for potential arguments, and discrepancy. Keep your cool or live to regret it.
SAGITTARIUS : Allowing a sense of community to build around you now, is at the forefront of your thinking. A community that honors the individuality of each person, and yet managing to maintain, a sense of unification, through a shared vision. If that sounds like the utopian dream, then think again, as this is more a necessity than a dream now, on this Planet. Be prepared to honor your part, in this saga, called life on Planet Earth. There is nowhere to escape to. This is the time to create, your vision.
CAPRICORN : If your life has altered course, recently, then this is a good thing. Adapt yourself to changes, and make a new plan, if necessary. Holding onto, old ideas, will only confuse you, more. Release and relax. Trust that the Divine, has a plan in store for your life, which is even better, and brighter than that which has gone before. Boldly step into the new, and the changes it brings, when the time comes. It is also never too late, to go back and make amends for the mistakes of the past.
AQUARIUS : This minor stellium, Chiron, Neptune and Jupiter in your sign creating unprecedented change in your life. The time for a deep and profound spiritual shift is upon you. At the least, change is in the air, and you will be swept up, and along with it. Resistance is futile. It takes all in its’ path and redirects that which is out of alignment. Some interesting, albeit unusual information and images are coming your way. Keep an open mind and allow all to filter through.
PISCES : Taurus Sun, brings some grounded illumination into your life. God knows, you need it, with Uranus blowing so many of your concepts out of the water. Every time you try to get a foothold or land somewhere, you are blasted out of the water, yet again. The Planets, including Neptune in Aquarius, are also bringing an enormous change, and modification to your life. Be prepared to uproot, if need be, and realign yourself, with a completely new set of circumstances.
