Moon Steps into Taurus: Calming the Spirit (July 15, 2009)
After two intense days with planetary challenges of high emotions purging us from hidden, unconscious patterns of behavior, we are now ready to step into a more relaxed time. Maybe we find peace in nature or enjoy life’s sensual delights. I just had a bath and signed up for a message today.
The unfolding growth in the zodiac is going through opposing motions challenging the status quo and then a period of integration and refinement, like with the transformation of Pluto followed by the expansion of Sagittarius; or the contraction and consolidation of Capricorn followed by changes and rebellion with Aquarius.
After the fiery, blazing emotions of the Moon in Aries we are now allowed to relax into the practical arms of Taurus.
Taurus known as Planter and Beautifier of Life (April 21–May 20)
At this time of the year the Northern Hemisphere is free of its winter snows and it is time to attend to caring for the Earth and planting crops. The sign of Taurus is ruled by Venus and is considered a feminine earth sign.
Taurus people are very much in tune with the Earth. Due to the influence of Venus, they have a great love for beauty found in things such as art, jewelry, and the natural landscape. They are loyal, patient, and deliberate in working toward their goals, just as farmers must be in tending their crops from planting through harvest. When a Taurus person undertakes a project, it most likely will be completed! Grounded in reality and the physical world, they excel at professions such as artist, farmer, the financial sector, and politics.
