Taurus

A collection of 5 planets in the earth sign of Virgo will grace the skies at the Virgo New Moon on August 30. This rare collection of 5 planets in one sign—also squaring beneficial Jupiter while opposing spiritual Neptune—portends a collective quest for perfection with spiritual solace as the optimal solution. With manifestation-oriented Saturn and transformative Pluto also in the earth sign of Capricorn and innovative Uranus in the earth sign of Taurus at the New Moon as well, there will be a collective push for manifesting results and positive outcomes, too.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius—when the Sun is in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius—arrives on June 17, 2019. This day is also called the "Strawberry Moon” because June’s Full Moon is traditionally associated with the harvest of the strawberry crops.

The Full Moon in Scorpio on Saturday, May 18—also known as the Buddha Moon—is an opportune time to meditate upon, visualize, and manifest your future.

The New Moon in Taurus on May 4 will focus your mind on the material accoutrements in your physical surroundings. This is a month to make sure everything is just as you’d like it in your material world—this includes your clothing, makeup, furnishings, and even your finances.

The March 6 New Moon in Pisces falls on a special day—it is the first day that Uranus, planet of radical innovation, will be in the stable, earthy, creative sign of Taurus, where it will remain until 2026. Uranus was last in Taurus from 1934 to 1942, and briefly from May 15 to November 6, 2018. Uranus in Taurus will alter the normal patterns in financial markets and cause fluctuating values of material goods, precious metals, gems, and real estate.

How apropos that we have Mars entering into the sign of Taurus right around Valentine’s Day.  In Vedic Astrology, we know Taurus to be ruled by the planet Venus.  With the presence of Mars being in Venus’s sign, we have a connection of these two planets.  When we have these two planets connecting their energies, one of the indications is passion.  And what better time for this connection, right?  With that being said, let’s look at why this is the case and get a sense of the bigger picture of Mars and Venus’s connections.

The gateway will open to radical, transformative change at the Full Moon on October 24!

The Sun in transformational Scorpio, opposite radical Uranus in Taurus, conjoining the Full Moon in Taurus, is a recipe for life-altering events at this upcoming Full Moon. It will be a time when people will precipitously and powerfully express their deeply held feelings and thoughts. Actions may be sudden and unexpected—and they will be strong!

Taurus: 

The stable and firm standing person that you are is suddenly going to want to change your appearance into doing something original, something unique. You are usually so practical and grounded. How can that be and what are you going to do about it? Are you going to stay the same as other people have formed you, or are you going to listen to that urge to be unique, to be different? Why not try it if you are wanting a tattoo (even one that isn’t permanent!)?

Taurus

The “bull” sees the wisdom in being deliberate and methodical in order to get the job done. You’ve always handled life’s obstacles by being focused and fixed in a rooted, slow and steady manner. But, June brings challenges to your way of thinking. It’s time to allow for some flexibility to your immovable approach. 

Full Moon – Sagittarius 8°10′ - May 29, 2018

All Full Moons highlight the opposing polarities in our lives. They ask us to see and make choices so that we may know ourselves better.  

Enter the Eagle

Throughout history we’ve celebrated the return of those who left the village and travelled beyond the “known world.” Upon their return, the information they shared with us expanded our understanding of the world and ourselves. There was both excitement and comfort in seeing the bigger picture and our place within it.
