Good morning. Happy New Week. How are you this week? I really want to look into Taurus season, particularly as we approach this very beautiful new Moon in Taurus, which my time will be happening on Monday the 28th of April at 5:13 AM So really it's a Sunday night for most of the world. I really want to speak to a big square that's happening in the sky and yeah. How to utilize or, or what, what Taurus is and how you can utilize this energy. All week we have the sun and Pluto squaring each other more significantly. Towards, well in, the beginning of the week, these first, the first half of the week, and then it will flip over past three degrees. So it'll be less intense. But I think that's a really interesting play. So I'm just gonna dive in. One of the things to contemplate is that we have had. So much going on in the first part of this year. It's now the 21st of April as I'm recording this, and there has been so much happening. Having again, all of these three personal planets, mercury, Venus, Mars, all Retrograding at certain parts of this year is so strong. Mars. As I was saying last week, being the ruler of Aries, the Mercury and the venous retrogrades had a, a big chunk of time. In Aries, a huge emphasis has been certainly internal because it's retrograding, this internal, excavation or sinking into where am I going and why. What is my will? What is my drive? What am I motivated towards? Why do I wanna make these moves? Are there whole new layers of desires and wants and needs that I have missed, which certainly was my experience. I had senses about particular things and. I, I've really brought them up into my consciousness really as a byproduct, I would say, of, the, the process of these retrogrades. So in Aries, which we've just finished now, we're in the second day of Taurus season, which again, is just an absolute favorite of mine. I just love all of the Earth season so much. It's like respite. It feels so natural. Which makes sense'cause we are here on Earth. But it just feels so beautifully the time the the time signatures of the earth signs just feels so aligned with the reality of this place. You'll notice what I mean when we shift from here from Earth into Gemini in a month when we go from earth to air, you can really, really sense that change. So this is the beginning process. This germination, this seed of a desire, a want and need making itself viscerally known, which I think again, has been a proponent of these retrogrades spending so long in Aries, and one being Mars, the ruler of. This is visceral energy. It makes itself known in the body. It becomes, strong, like, felt like. So instinctual, and then TAUs Taurus Taurus, shows us where we can. Depending on our experience of this archetype, our, our tangible experience of our own self-worth and our own self value. Taurus really shows us where we can stay in what is comfortable and familiar. It can almost be this like laziness around, well. This is the way things are. So this is the way that things will be. It wants to like tie down and be comfortable in what does life look like for me, you know, I often joke to clients who have a lot of tourists, it's like if they could have a. A script of the next 20 years, they'd probably read it. You know, it's like there's this desire for reliability, sustainability, in terms of like, what does my life look like? Who's in it? Where do I live? What's my, what's my daily life look like, et cetera. And so there's this really strong impulse to stay in what we know and stay in what is comfortable. And one of the gigantic evolutionary processes of Taurus is really surveying the territory that we're living within. Is this comfortable because it is deeply aligned to my values. Is this comfortable because my wants, needs and desires are getting absolutely met here? Is this comfortable because I know it is this comfortable because making a change is way too scary, way too big. It's going to cause so much chaos. So much disharmony and I'd rather stay here. And I think I know for myself, and I think for many of us, we're up against that edge, the talisman for Taurus, the. The symbol of this season is the earth version of Venus, and when you know her origin story, which here is Aphrodite, all of the planets have been given the names of the Roman gods. But the genesis of this archetype and frequency is Aphrodite who. Rose from the ocean fully formed. No childhood, no conditioning, no socialization. Just full fledged Venus. Venus emanating Venus. Aphrodite emanating Aphrodite. I think such a big part of the way that. Our society is structured right now is one of the reasons that I have a job is because there are so many of us that are seeking this deep understanding and exploration and having a mirror of somebody saying, yeah, this is you. It's all these parts that we know. And part of what I'm able to do as an astrologer is weave that together and like, hold up this, the. The frequency, the story of who you are, and that is a wildly validating experience. It certainly was for me when I had my first reading, and let's say how I would phrase this is, Aphrodite wouldn't have needed a chart reading because she has in the cells, in her expressions in everything that she does. She's always herself at the fullest, register deeply attuned to who she is. Certainly, I would say part of what this archetype needs to do is mature, if you look at some of the stories of this goddess, and as she is expressed in different mythologies, like the story of tta. She, the thing that started that whole story of her going into the underworld is because she was going to see her sister's husband who had been slain because she had told him that he had to go into battle with a being who had denied her, denied her, proposition. For becoming one of her lovers. So there's, there's certainly a, I mean, I would say, actually, I'd say Venus and Aphrodite probably would have sought out the Sears to have like transit readings on what's happening for them in their love life. But, you know, to get back to my example, it's like they're starting. Whole. And while we are also whole, we go through this process of being socialized, of being conditioned, of growing up in this close, community of people, whether that's our family and then it branches out into school, et cetera. Like we're, we're exposed to the wants, needs and desires of others. If we haven't rooted into what that is for us, then a big part of the process of adulthood can almost be this reclamation of more of the self attuning to more of my wants, needs and desires, learning that I can have what I want, learning that I can take action towards my desires. I don't have to contemplate how 20 other people are going to respond to what I want to do. Before I even do it, as an example. So all of this week especially, it will be so strong for this sort of first half up until, let's say Wednesday, Thursday, the sun is squaring Pluto. Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio. Scorpio is the opposite sign of Taurus with this square. We're able to, it will be very obvious to us if it hasn't already become obvious to you, and I imagine it's become obvious to a lot of you already this year, but if it hasn't, it will be more present in your field anywhere where you're staying in situations, locations, behavioral patterns where either you're not fully being valued. Or you're not truly emanating and aligning with your own values and your own desires. We get to see the limitations of these current dynamics, and also we get to see the parts of us that, for one of a better phrase, need to be exercised or need to be brought up into the light. It could be shame, it could be doubt, it could be fear. Around wanting to change, wanting to make a move, wanting to decide differently, wanting to exit a particular dynamic. And look, this might be small for some of you, or it might be very large for some of you. Again, I never want to speak in a way where it's like, this is what's happening. You are going to experience this. What is your relationship to your self-worth and your self value? So again, in Aries we get the intel viscerally, this is what I want, this is what I need, this is what I'm desire. I'm gonna go and get it. And then we come into tourist season and we really get to feel palpably. Do I feel worthy of this? Does my self value feel like this is possible? Is there anywhere where I'm having to butt up against, oh, this is very uncomfortable. I would rather recede back into a smaller expression of myself to stay comfortable, to not rock the boat. Essentially what's becoming ha has really revealed itself over the last few months. And again, we can see this from, psychological aspect or through more of the deeper programming or beliefs that we may hold, which is the Square With Scorpio, it, it's becoming more obvious is anywhere that you are living. Into that just isn't for you. Is there anywhere where you are living life according to someone else or even what is comfortable for somebody else or easy for them and not for us? Anywhere where again, we're in avoidance of discomfort and disharmony, that is a necessary discomfort and disharmony. To break ground into more of our own self-leadership, into living more fully as us. So what I'd really be contemplating this week, or what I will be contemplating this week is what am I choosing? What are you choosing what am I in devotion to, and I wanna bring that into this week as well. What are you choosing? Devotion is an action word. We're showing ourselves what we're in devotion to because it's what we're putting our energy towards. It's the life that we're building and feeding. It's dynamics that we're feeding. What are you choosing and then why and where do your desires, where does this new intel that you've received over the last few months, how does that fit into the life that you are choosing for yourself? The behavioral patterns that you're choosing for yourself, the habits that you're choosing for yourself, the expression of love, where you live, how you live, all of this, and what needs to happen. In order for you to choose more of yourself and more of your own path and the actualization of more of your most lush timelines, this is Taurus season. This is lush energy. It's pulsing with sensuality and the sensual experience of life. This is absolutely the time to be. In an environment that feels so beautiful and good looking to you, that smells great. That tastes great. That feels great. Friday, Saturday, Sunday will be in the balsamic moon phase. This is an incredibly potent time. We always have this in the three, three and a half days. Preceding a new moon. It's when you can't see the moon. It's the full darkness before the new moon springs when we can just see that tiny, tiny slither. So Friday, Saturday, Sunday, all balsamic moon phases are such a time of inner nurturance. The revelation of what needs to be looked at and processed before we can begin this new cycle. So it just feels like a real theme, especially with the Sun Square Pluto at the beginning. And then the latter part of this week is a balsamic moon phase. What is in the way in terms of what you are feeling? What you feel worthy of having or living or experiencing, whatever it is, what's in the way of the full embrace of the deep pulsation and emanation of you, your most lush timeline, Come Monday or Sunday, depending on where you are. We have this new moon in Taurus, which is just stunning. This is really, to me, Taurus is the gardener. Taurus makes long before it plants any seeds. It has nurtured the heck out of the soil. It may seem like those moves are slower than the pace of other signs, but those changes are often very fertile. So this is something to be contemplating for all of this season. What am I wanting to actualize? How am I going about that and how can I go about that in the most fertile way? From the roots up from my inner world? Self value, self-worth, showing myself how I care for myself, showing myself how I value myself, that I can hold the discomfort of change because I have my own back somatically. I am tethered to my body. I can feel what I need and I will show up devotion to support myself through the discomfort, you know? so what is the garden that you are figuratively growing this year? Because again, now we're in this time, we still have a week and a half of Venus in moving forward through Pisces, but we are really moving forwards now and we'll begin to notice that if you haven't already, there's a feeling of forward momentum. Everything is moving forward. Mars is in fire. Mercury's back in Aries, Mars is in Leo. Venus in a week and a half will move back into Aries. Right. There's, there's momentum here and the fire, like I said last week, it's action, but now let's tend to the soil. How can we really nurture these moves that we're wanting to make in a way that isn't sporadic or spontaneous in a way that's gonna come back and bite us? You know, this is earth again. It's strategy. It, there's a plan. But it's, it's nourishing. They're nourishing moves, so you do whatever you want with the new moon. But something that I will be doing is on some level planting seeds for what this next chapter is for me, whether I am riding it. I've also been doing a lot of that, or supporting my body and my nervous system as I stretch towards. Holding more of me and making these new moves. This is where the self love, the self devotion, the self care comes in hand. You know, Taurus, yes, she's Cleopatra. Scale beauty rituals, but not, it's not at a superficial level, like it's tender loving care. And part of truly loving yourself is knowing when you are playing small or when you desire or deserve more than what you are getting, more than what you are receiving from yourself or in love or from the life that you are planting. If you want more. And that just feels so true for you. I'd be listening. I hope it's a really beautiful, potent week. And again, this is a time of gentleness with self. We don't wanna make these fast, moves because this is where Taurus begins to, part of the Taurus survival plan is it anchors into the material world. Through food, through buying yourself a lot of presents. And while both of those things can be really fun, we want to pace ourselves. If this is something that's really potent for you, how can you process what's going on? Who is trusted that you can speak to? I know that's something that I'm calling on a lot at the moment, and it's so helpful. That's also me showing myself that I have my own back. You know, it's not like I have to carry these things on my back and it's making me hunch over, no, not at all. We can stand tall and we can desire more and grow that for ourselves.
