Astrological Weather is Quiet on Wednesday

With all this intensity we all have to deal with these days we have a little of a breather with Moon in Taurus! Taurus is the first earth sign in the evolution and unfolding of the zodiac and brings our intention and focus onto real and palpable things around us.

Gratefulness

We here in Hawaii can settle down after the excitements of the forecasted hurricane which didn’t hit and slowed down to a tropical depression. The air here today seems so clean and there is a quietness and freshness in the air which inspires me to start anew from a place of gratefulness and wonder. As a member of the CERT the Communal Emergency Response Team here on Maui I have been part of the preparations of the Civil Defense setup. I feel so touched and grateful for all those beautiful people and volunteers who have been working so hard to be prepared for the hurricane as good as possible for many hours.

And what grace to be spared the experience of a hurricane and all the loss of life and material things. It made me so happy to be a part of something bigger and focused on the bigger picture then just my own wellbeing. You should try it out it is heady stuff!

The Moon: Our Mirror of Feelings

Approximately every 2 ½ days the Moon, the fastest planet in Astrology is moving into a new astrological sign.  When the Moon is moving on into a new sign there is a different energetic emotional quality to be felt. Moon represents our way we filter the events in our environments emotionally. The Moon has a magnetic quality and describes our receptivity. Following the movement of the Moon will help us to understand our often impulsive reactions to the events in our life.

Following the Moon transiting through the potential of possible reactivity will ease the surprise of it and gives us awareness for ourselves and a choice to some degree.

Taurus known as the Planter and Beautifier of Life (April 21–May 20)

When the Sun is in Taurus, 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 and often have a green thumb. They love to be in nature or do gardening. Due to the influence of Venus, they have a great love for beauty found in things such as art, jewelry, and the nature. 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.

Everything they approach will be with a very grounded and practical perspective! They are very good organizers and appreciate, need and create beauty all around them. There is certain sensuality around them. They approach life through their senses and like to enjoy themselves and others.

Invitation

With Taurus Moon you are invited to focus onto the beauty in your life! The beauty which is already there or the one you want to create around you. Maybe it is a good time to redo your bedroom or your living room; put things in order, refresh the color on the wall or hang up a new picture. It is a good time to have some friends over for a dinner or make time for some love making…

The Mars Jupiter Trine

The assertive Mars is joining hands with expansive, optimistic Jupiter. A trine is a so called harmonious aspect which means the players are well in tune with each other and usually find a way to harmoniously align their energies depending on the particularities of the involved planets. Of course even a trine with actors like Saturn, Pluto, Uranus and Neptune will give us a little more challenge when they touch the personal planets of ours.

With Mars in Gemini and Jupiter in Aquarius, both signs of air; our mental busyness might be more pronounced. Have you heard about the “monkey mind”? That is a good metaphor  for the relentless activity of our mind, constantly processing thought forms and trying to figure things out. The “monkey mind” also stands for the critical nature of the mind and its constant evaluating and criticizing of our own activities and others.

This trine is offering us a good chance to learn how to use our mind properly instead of being used by it. We have to learn to take charge of our mind, learn how to quieten it and find peace of mind in a stressful and fast world.

What are You Putting into Your Mind?

One way to do that is to monitor what kind of mental diet we are feeding ourselves with. Do we expose ourselves to lots of news (always depressing isn’t it?)? What kind of movies do we watch? Do we watch a thriller and then go to bed? What kind of books do you read? Is it material which helps you to expand and grow? How do you uplift your spirit?

The Challenge

I took on this challenge for a week of not reading books or newspapers and not watching movies or TV. That was an interesting experience! Suddenly you have all that extra time on your hand and what do you do with it? For me it was a time I meditated more, visited friends I haven’t seen for a time, putting my closets in order and just sat more with myself thinking and contemplating.

Are you up for this challenge? I promise you it will be an amazing experience and I would love to hear from you about it!

Meditation

You have heard me talk about the multiple benefits of meditation many times. If you want to read more about it go to my article Neptune’s Properties, Sobriety and the Art of Meditation.

Meditation is the best way to find peace of mind and your inner connection to your higher self and the divine. Whatever works for you best is the way to go. You can just sit and be aware of your breath and your thoughts, you can dance and shake your body and then go into profound inner silence or you can use crystals and gemstones to help you align and balance.

Me – I am very passionate about healing gems and all the different applications of those enchanting allies to raise my frequency for balance and more joy. I have even written a book Jewelry and Gems for Self-Discovery about my over 30 years experience in the field of healing gemstones, meaningful jewelry and astrology. I am a Taurus as well so I am lazy! I like to just lie down and put some stone onto me and sink inside…I love it!

Aloha and many blessings, Shakti.
