OK, breathe and buckle up, y’all. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover. Writing this one has been a bit of a road race: it moves fast, has hairpin turns, and, if you are not careful, you can wipe out. It is quite a thing. An open mind, a laser focus, and a child-like sense of wonder, humor, joy, and delight are essential to success.
Normally, the Taurus New Moon is a wonderful return to all the best things about being in a human body on this planet, especially in the spring. Taurus rules beauty and balance, harmony and love. Taurus rules nature and Earth Day. Taurus rules the divine feminine archetype and aspects of mothering and Mother's Day. Taurus rules aspects of fertility, the spring, and the sacred rituals of Beltane. Taurus rules teams and teambuilding, as well as aspects of leadership.
Retrogrades, Eclipses, a Stellium, and an Abundance of Caution
Okay, I haven’t seen this sort of a thing in a long time. Part of it is the current transits (Mercury Retrograde in Aries, Venus Retrograde in Aries and Pisces, a fat stellium, and a pair of eclipses, one in Aries and the other in Virgo and Pisces). The other part is the extreme variety of ways people are feeling and responding to those transits. I have seen people handle worse transits with more joy, ease, and grace. I know part of it is the socio-political-economic impacts of the times we live in. But still, it made me curious. And cautious. I had a feeling there was more to it than that.
