These are potent times. Imagine the power of having all 7 visible planets entering 1/12th of the sky as they do during May. These 7 make what astrologers call a hard, lesson-driving aspect to Aquarius (squares the line up in Taurus). This grand alignment is the initiation of a score of years wherein values will be reworked, individually and locally as well as globally.

Expect just about everything you believe and profess to come into question in the weeks that lead up to summer solstice. Taurus rules money, earthly affairs and the ways you relate to...money, sex, love, your work, others, family, your body, you name it. Don’t try holding on to old ways or perceptions for your world view is changing and you can’t stop it. But try to tell that to Taurus, the 30 degree arc of the sky symbolized by the stubborn bull.

Taurus prefers being rooted and wants stability, but ask yourself what have you rooted in. Before you defend your attachments and old ways of handling life, check to see if they are outmoded. Do your characteristic responses and coping mechanisms get you where you want to go? Or do they impede your progress, perhaps by roughing up the
relationships you need to have working for you, or by creating extra problems or detours that sap your strength and power.

If behaviors work, keep them, if they don't, discard them and start again. Most of those coping mechanisms were invented by a young, frightened you in a time when your care taking adults were somehow incompetent, perhaps even harmful. You learned to defend and protect, possibly to be ever vigilant to deflect the next attack. Your adult,
21st Century self can find better ways to handle life than could this scared child.

You have visited, perhaps learned to love the Inner Child, or children if dissociation was necessary; now learn to guide them. Children need to hear often that a caring adult is on duty, responsible for their safety and guiding the personality so they don’t have to. The nature of trauma is that the psyche hides away its purest essence so it doesn’t get destroyed. The ones who who stay and take the abuse are the hurt kids of today. The essence grows up to be the adult and hopefully learns to meditate, heal, and grow in strength and self esteem.

Now you -- that essence so precious it had to be saved at all costs -- are returning to “rescue” and restore the ones who took the wounds. Stop blaming or mistrusting them and make a cradle of love for them in your heart, tucking them into Divine Mother's arms. Imagine you are helping each split create a sacred room there, just as they’d like it, and ask angels, goddesses, and Ascended Masters to hold and heal them and you.

This is an ideal time to release the past that no longer serves you, to let loose your tribal bonds and enter into your true nature. The energies of the alignment will both pull you back and propel you forward. It's a tough ride, but like a great roller coaster, the highs
are worth the scary drops, sudden turns and jerks that take you in a different direction than the way you thought you were going.

You have to keep releasing any attachment to what is happening and not take these energies of radical change too personally. Easy for us to say! Attachment causes suffering and if you get attached to your image, or your ego gets invested in how you’re received or what you deserve, you will suffer. The Universe will inexplicably draw you right into the exact situations and experiences that challenge you wherever you have
chosen to invent yourself rather than trust your unfoldment. Use these energies to let go and let the ride happen, and you will unleash your Authentic Nature.

Great quantum leaps are possible with most of the sky available to propel you in the direction that best represents your highest values around how you earn your money and relate to the physical world. Pray thoroughly and listen carefully to your intuition and guidance, always willing to let loose the ballast of dysfunctional beliefs. Let that
aspect of you anchored in Spirit guide the direction so it takes you into higher dimensions of yourself. Dimensional shifts are possible now, as more of the 4th dimension opens to be inhabited by incarnated souls.

Taurus loves touch, snuggles, hugs and sensual contact. Ask for hugs and support from friends, family, social and growth circles. Join in rituals and enjoy the intimacy they bring, especially earth based rituals and celebrations. Welcome in the new as a birthing is happening here, one you've long awaited and want to have happen. A blessing of
more You in your body.
