(and now also)
(i, jaime, also have some short notes of horoscopes for ya. cause today is a BIG day.)
this morning (7:48 AM EST) brings a new moon in taurus.
also, today, uranus––
planet of innovation,
planet of revolution,
planet of disruption,
planet of non sequitur,
planet of throwing paint on the wall,
planet of mischief, planet of rebellion, planet of progress, planet of freaky stuff,
planet of curiousity––
moves into taurus.
this is a chance to come back to the earth. as a group. on a global level. a societal level.
uranus does not enter a sign quietly. since march 2011 (and for a bit in 2010 as well), uranus transited aries- our lil'est bb sign. sign of being me and getting a running start. uranus' first ingress into aries came with the BP oil spill in 2010: a warning sign.
as a global community, these past seven years have been about selfies. about building personal brands. about finding personal niches. about establishing our beliefs. about individuating both gloriously and recklessly. about blooming (& booming...). as individuals, hopefully, we have become more aware. by growing ourselves, we have learned how to better speak our minds and fight our battles and make our peace. but we haven't necessarily been using our hands. we have lost touch of the earth. (our oceans are dying. the climate is dying. the economy is failing. the world is...) and we're still here.
uranus in taurus asks us to feel the soil. to taste. to look away from the void and feel. taurus is a fixed sign. taurus knows what it likes. sensual pleasures. ˆpain too. it's time to stop thinking and defining and simply running. running gets us far, but not if we forget to feel. drink the entire glass of water. notice the sensation. we're about to enter a new age of exchange.
***
what follows are short notes for today's new moon & uranus' ingress into taurus for each sign. if you know your rising sign, please read for that. and read your sun sign too, if you'd like. if you only know your sun sign, you can of course read that primarily. you can read all of them. there's something there. we can learn with the group :)
(on a personal level, you will probably feel this ingress into taurus most strongly if you have points or personal planets in the early degrees of taurus, leo, scorpio or aquarius, especially if one of those signs is your ascendant. we'll all feel it but for some it will be more intense. not bad, but intense.)
aries
today might be a good day to relax. completely. to admire yourself. it has been a long seven years of figuring out how to best express yourself and best keep up your vitality. i am certain that you have learned a lot. about your temperament, about the upkeep of you. notice all that you value today & what material needs are catching your eye. don't spend too much, but make a wish list.
taurus
you have been on a very very very very very very very long hike into your own depths of consciousness, at heights beyond your comprehension. you've been on literal and figurative and actual trips. which was your favorite? nod to it and package it up. put that trip in a locket close to your heart. even if it was hard. it holds more of what you are than you have yet realized.
gemini
you're done with wishes that don't work. with friends that don't work. with communities that don't work. absolutely finished. gooooodBYYYYEEE! to all that. that didn't work. you can laugh with the stuff that does work. and cry and soar with it too. reflect on your ambitions today.
especially! on what you've given up because it was probably for the right reasons.
cancer
it's so easy to lose touch of who we really are and what we really need when we are so caught up in our reputation or our contribution or our career. you've examined many possibilities over the last seven years of managing how you are seen and what you do. breathe because it seems that your image is no longer on the line. take this time to notice who is around you. keep your eye on your ambition now that you've rotated the spotlight (many times).
leo
seven years ago, unless you were really paying attention, you probably had no idea where this was leading. this path. now, you have the degree. you have the spiritual practice. maybe you've travelled the entire world. (i am sure you didn't know you were going to japan.) not every moment on this journey was resonant. but a lot of it was informative. take what you've learned & get it seen. you're in the center now.
virgo
power(!!!!) has been on your mind. power and loss and losing control. sex and rules and loans. spiritual breakthroughs are on the way and you will face them with a clear heart and a ready skepticism. philosophies are something to believe, not something to obey.
libra
partnership isn't what you expected. you might just be realizing this. realizing what you didn't want and what you do want. and how you got here. noticing all the things that annoy you and what you still crave from (an)other. creatively, romantically, energetically. you can see these patterns even in those who have failed you (and in those you have failed). you are entering an era that will radically shift what loss means to you. you will innovate the power dynamics of your life. take note of where this begins.
scorpio
fighters keep at it. forever. even when they know they will never win. it's the fight that counts. in the fight, we learn. you probably have quite a few battle scars coming out of this particular uranus era. acknowledge these. don't be ashamed. you have not lost your ambitions or your soul. you've just gotten a little dusty. now's the time to go after the thing you want. but remember: true love will always be a compromise. (it will be the right compromise though.)
sagittarius
if you know one thing- it's that your will leads you to many unexpected places. to children. to new countries. to several different creative practices. to endless hobbies. you're interested in all of them, but not all of them will stick. you've probably learned the difference between will and whim. now, to what cause will you bring this information? for what do you fight? take care of your health. go to the dentist. and lead only with intention.
capricorn
you've made a new home- probably after a lot of false starts. you're not sure if it's the right one, but it's a decent one for now. or maybe you're on the way to the decent one for now. i hope you are. when all else fails, go back to the land. the most basic representation of land and what it means to you. is the house pink? you can paint it!!! remember that. (you probably will.)
aquarius
let's just say you've been on a bike. knocking on doors and getting very comfortable with those who welcome you inside. impermanence always haunts the sense of stability that comes with being a cherished guest. it's hard to survive on being welcomed alone. time to face what's really underneath. which is our underworld. which is sometimes also our house. get your sugar and go home.
pisces
i think that you are set re: value & values & stuff & etc. if you don't have the stuff you want, you know what stuff you want, if you know what I mean? you just gotta find it. explore the neighborhood. use those bowls you bought to host a spaghetti dinner (yum). be the queen of your own tiny myth.
