Enter Taurus season

This week we have a couple of major aspects coming at us after the monumental New Moon Eclipse last week. The first quarter moon in Cancer at the top of the week will start us out with the budding awareness that the New Moon has planted within our subconscious. This is a great time for self-reflection, journaling and writing down what you notice that is beginning to shift and change within your psyche and being. The first quarter moon after the new moon is likened to the first sprouts of spring, when we are able to notice the real world shifts that have taken place. The germination process is over and we are now able to identify the themes much more clearly.

Taurus season begins this week but it doesn’t start out as slow and mundane as the sturdy bull would have you think because there is a huge astrological aspect happening just a day after the Sun ingresses into Taurus; Jupiter and Uranus conjuct in Taurus on the 20th. This aspect between Jupiter and Uranus happens every twelve years and beckons a time when we collectively begin to shift our ideological views towards a new/radical direction. This is when the new zeitgeist takes form and the new ways of perceiving start to integrate with the common culture. Because the conjunction is happening in the sign of the bull, Taurus, ruled by Venus, we are seeing a shift in the way that we perceive the financial realms, relationships and our relationship to nature. We may also notice a radical shift in how we manufacture and produce food as Taurus and Venus also connect us to the way we ingest/use the material realm. We will certainly see huge shfits within the cryptocurrency spheres around this time as more and more people become acquainted with the concept of digital currency (Uranus in Taurus).

Venus in Aries conjuncts the North Node at 15° 35’ on Wednesday and helps us to see what direction we want to go in when it comes to our love lives. We are taking initiative and personal responsibility for how we show up in our committed/romantic relationships. Many may even decide to recommit or initiate a commitment in some way. It is a lovely time to start fresh and begin a new journey in partnership platonic, romantic or collaborative.

Monday 15th

Today is dramatic with the Moon requiring all of our attention from her position in Leo. There is a flare for optics, theater, music and expression. Getting creative and thinking outside of the box is a prerequisite for today as Mercury and the Moon square one another. On another note, this is the first quarter moon after the eclipse so the thoughts, actions and plans that were planted a week ago will begin to poke their budding heads above the ground of the subconscious.

Tuesday 16th

Well a strange day with no aspects! Today will be mainly influenced by yesterday with the first quarter moon after the eclipse bringing up more of the New Moon themes that were planted a week ago. This could be a good day for self-reflection and quiet contemplation. Take this time to journal your thoughts with whatever comes up, there have been a boat load of change and transitions for many people so today will be a good day to write it all down and get the mind clear.

No aspects!?

Wednesday 17th

There is an abundance of love available to us with Venus and the Moon making a trine aspect, softening our hearts. We can take this opportunity to feel into the feminine receptive side, accessing the parts of us that feel most vulnerable with others and dare to open up and let someone else into our inner landscape. Venus and Chiron offer up an opportunity to heal the heart so if there has been an aching within, today is a great day to mend the wound.

Thursday 18th

There is lightness and clarity today with the Sun and Moon moving into harmony in the fire signs Aries and Leo, just before the Moon enters Virgo. Today can feel like a really productive day as we become more focused and aware of what it is that needs to get taken care of in our daily lives. The Moon in Virgo gets us amped up for tasks of cleaning, organizing and fulfilling those minor deeds that have been left undone.

Moon trine Sun, Moon > Virgo at 7:10 am.

Friday 19th

'Tis a new astrological season today! We enter the sign of the bull as the Sun ingresses into Taurus. There are many aspects happening today as well, with Venus and Mercury joining energies, along with Mars and Uranus making a sextile. There can be a lot of change that is welcome and it feels like a fresh start to a new era. We may receive some information that is quite important to hear, especially regarding relationships and collaborations.

Sun enters Taurus at 6:59 am, Moon opposite Saturn, Venus conjunct Mercury rx, Mars sextile Uranus.

Saturday 20th

Jupiter and Uranus conjunct today, which is a huge astrological leap into an unknown era. These two meet every twelve years and when they do, there is typically a big shift in philosophy/way of thinking among the collective. Our belief systems go through a radical change/upgrade/evolution and the way that we relate to one another, along with our material realm will also be shifting. This is a good day to consider your relationship to money/finance and make any adjustments that are needed in order to secure a bright future.

Sunday 21st

We are pushing through any darkness and illuminating what has been hidden within our ability to connect with others. Make time to acknowledge how much you have changed and evolved throughout your life and see how abundant you are in the area of love. If you feel like you could use more love/affection, today is the day to access the information you need from within your own being in order to identify how or why there may be a block. If there is no block, then it is a lovely time to push the envelope and put your heart on your sleeve!

Moon trine Pluto, Sun square Pluto, Venus conjunct Chiron.
