Tending the Garden

Sunday April 20, 2008

It's now the season of Taurus, when the pace slows to match the patient rhythms of nature. There's a coming down from the mania of Aries to something more grounded and dug in. Taurus mellows us out, and at the same time seems to make the material world come vibrantly alive. We're nourished by the sensory explosion of Spring. Eating seasonal produce, or walking barefoot in freshly cut grass become totally absorbing experiences.

This year, the earthy vibe that Taurus brings, is heightened by a grand trine harmony to major players Saturn (Virgo) and Pluto (Capricorn). Right now, the earth element comes through to help you make deeply-anchoring structural changes. You can take your time to do it right from the bottom up. The full Moon in Scorpio lingers powerfully to bring out what's hidden in the psyche. Your intuitive hits and messages of dreams, angels, guardian spirits, animal familiars, etc. can help you with the visioning part. Taurus and the earth element help with practical progress, so your real life grows out of the hidden seeds of potential you hold within.

I have had particularly interesting dreams recently. I was wondering why this was. Maybe due to the full moon in scorpio.

My dreams have been very REAL lately. They’ve been way over-the-top emotional encounters. I’m noticing that what’s been there stewing for awhile, is coming up with full force. And the earth signs set it in place, like the new reality that’s kinda dense, and as immovable as a mountain.
We’re in an interested lunation cycle here. There’s a new Moon in Taurus (the builder) on the 5th of May, then ANOTHER full Moon in Scorpio on the 19th of May. That gives us two full Moons in Scorpio, one at 0 degrees and the 2nd at 29 degrees. So, two chances for super vivid dreams that tell us what’s going on deep within the psyche.
Thanks for commenting, Cat! :)
