Happy Birthday to readers with Sun in Taurus
Each one of us has all the signs of the zodiac in our energetic make-up. However, the mix will be different. The focus for this astrological month is on the Taurus/Scorpio polarity. Taurus enjoys security, pleasure, good food and wine however can over-indulge when emotions are heightened. Taurus also likes to feel their body working well and is adept at utilizing their senses. Paying attention to the body’s many nuances will enable you to develop greater understanding of its workings. This can lead to wellbeing and greater vitality. At this New Moon it would be wise to commit to a new health programme if you have not already taken these steps. Yoga is a wonderful holistic health practice and those with strong Taurus in their energetic make usually love it. It makes the body, mind and spirit feel so good!
Taurus is about security, money, self-worth, self-value, values in general, possessions and usefulness. Money matters are prominent in the media now and many people are struggling financially. This is a good time for re-evaluation of spending habits. Excessive Taurus materialism has been rampart in our western world but now a major correction time is necessary, per favour of Pluto in Capricorn. Transformation and accepting personal responsibility for our life creations is the name of his game. This transit will go on for fourteen years so it’s best to get realistic now.
Monetary systems not based on Taurus stability, sustainability, decency, equality and intrinsic worth are collapsing and more will follow. Many societal structures not based on decent values will also collapse. Western values are out of sync. Greed has run rampant. Where is the balance between rich and poor? What monetary values have we taught our children? What earth environmental care-taking values have we taught them? What are our true values? These are serious questions to ask and this is serious re-evaluation time!
Taurus energy can be slow, very stubborn and resistant to change. It likes to stay in it’s outworn “comfort zone” of perceived security. It can be rut bound and stuck. It can also procrastinate and fill life with unnecessary obstacles. It would be wise to become aware of how and why you allow this energy to rule, and choose to change rather than wait for the inevitable to happen. What we resist persists!
Venus, as ruler of Taurus, wants equality, balance, peace, beauty and harmony internally as well as externally. Taurus is an earth sign and requires practical, down to earth alignment with that which has intrinsic value, usefulness, sustainability and worth. If you are unconsciously emotionally attached to possessions, people, a poverty consciousness or other psychological money issues such as fear of financial success or failure – it is time to become conscious of these Taurus games. Then you can decide to let these dense psychic self-destructive “hooks” go. When you let them go completely you will no longer experience the related fears and insecurities. An energetic vacuum will be created enabling new fresh energy to enter your psychological matrix. It is the emotional and mental intensity behind your psychic hooks that holds you in bondage. Let go all that has outlived its usefulness.
It is time to move on and create a new beginning based on serious, realistic and practical values. Accept what is. Set financial goals that are reasonable. Let greedy desires go. Invest in research and development. Share openly and lovingly your unique resources. Invest in yourself. Build a firm emotional and practical foundation from which to re-launch. A higher level of self-love, self-worth and self-value will result from your determined and sustained effort.
Mars and Venus are dancing together in Aries indicating the likelihood of our internal feminine and masculine energies working in harmony. Pluto challenges them to maintain power and passion to activate a new beginning. However, this is not an impulsive, rash new beginning but a deliberate, carefully choreographed and worthwhile new approach to life. Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune are happily practicing their modern dance routine and will deliver their unique performance when the time is right. I’ll write more about the cosmic significance of their dance at a later date.
In the meantime give yourself some quiet time in nature and choose to encourage the Taurus energy of love, gratitude and appreciation for all of Mother Earths’ magnificent gifts of natural beauty, food and shelter permeate your being. Feel this high vibration in your heart and give even more thanks. Sustain this vibration for as long as you can and share it with others. We are so blessed to be alive at this remarkable time of transition and change.
May the Force of Light be with you always
Blessings and love
Ashtara
