Ongoing Themes

These astrological themes are global in nature. The intention is to assist an individual awakening to larger dramas and to find peace within themselves by knowing how personal dramas are proportions of grander energy dynamics. Please accept these as samples and examples as none of these energy dynamics can be defined in a conclusive way. As always what is significance is the quality of an individual's self appreciation which is shown to them through their unique emotional truth.

The deconstruction and reconstruction of social infrastructure.
Possible Ramifications:
Questioning of long standing infrastructure.
Ending of historically established institutions.
New opportunities for revolutionary ideals.
The rise of a new practicality in terms of taking responsibility.

Developing special talents and skills
Possible Ramifications:
Discovering a longed for talent actually exists and now becomes available.
A deeper feeling commitment and purpose services the development of one's unique special skills.
An ability to admit any poor attitude allows space for increased responsibility and maturity.
A much richer experience through communication and thinking.
Partnerships make more sense as the focus is on security and comfort.

Individual self confidence openly expressed.
Possible Ramifications:
Hesitation replaced by immediate action.
Personal options as valued property are protected and defended.
Assumed identity tested through real life incidents.
Beliefs considered facts justify bold social interaction.

Mixing and merging of diverse opinion and culture.
Possible Ramifications:
To what culture or opinion am I associated?
People as a global nation begin to prioritize what they have in common.
Separation due to cultural adherence loses ground.
Some long held notions of truth or reality now seen as delusions.
A seeking for a new compassion model which services global harmony.
Inspired artistic expressions blend cultures and unify interest.

Adjustments to social systems can come in the most strange form. Unexpected events from a public, no longer apathetic, result in actions which help guide what could be very difficult social collapses into safer zones. The need to protect and act for the security of family is at hand. The opposition between retrograde Pluto in Capricorn and Ceres in Cancer is squared by Uranus in Aries setting up a T-square during the new Moon. Being this is a Taurus Moon cycle the opposition of Cancer and Capricorn indicates the sensitive nature of Taurus when Taurus is connecting with or dealing with routine tasks such as communicating. Ceres in Cancer indicates a dedication to the family which is demonstrated by actions as well as words. Words may combine with actions when a senior family member or care taker feels there is a threat to the comfort or security of their nest. Pluto's lengthy journey through Capricorn has been rocking the boat in so many ways. What is really getting smashed around here are the community and social systems which exist in order that public services can exist in a functional way. There is currently a social revolution going on and in a trickle down sort of way this massive planetary wide revolution is affecting localized community systems. All countries are being challenged to have their systems evaluated whether they like it or not, from the perspective of idealized Capricorn. Capricorn here is about idealized practicality and this includes proper use of Earth resources and harmonious connections between systems which allow societies to function and the organic systems which allow the Earth to share and sustain species in her harmonious way. With these planets in opposition, Ceres and Pluto, a sharp focus on the quality of the domestic scene springs to top priority. The mechanics of social infrastructure for example may be questioned. The need to be more flexible or intuitive as a public service system is being called for, as an example here. A more human compassionate approach will be demanded as family security calls for this. With Uranus in Aries at the T-square a willingness to take action comes like lightning. Social interest can be quick as this may be required considering events which may be manifesting.

The need to seek appreciation from a boss or customer can challenge one's own beliefs and actions as related to their sense of survival or security. The powerful Mars in Taurus is squared by Juno in Aquarius during the new Moon phase. Mars is strong here as this is a Taurus Moon cycle and the Moon's south node is currently transiting Taurus. Juno indicates how appreciation is required in a partnership experience assuming a partner needs this validation from another. Now in Aquarius it is work related, appreciation for how one focuses on work as Aquarius occupies the Taurus 10th solar house. Aquarius will spring freedom into the work place. Personal security requires an open mind when working successful with the public. Someone may be seeking appreciation as indicated by their focus and support of any and all ideas as a defining quality of their professionalism. With Mars at the square here an aggressive move which implies an individual's belief in their own security is potentially challenged, or supported by, a rather unusual take on things related to mutual interest at the work place. Dynamics between "thinking out of the box" at work and "just do it" on the personal level occupy the same space and when they can do so harmoniously great things can happen. When there is a lack of harmony things can become difficult as core beliefs are forced out of hiding.

The residue held by the Moon's south node in Taurus is experienced as the Sun crosses through Taurus and is exaggerated or made especially relevant by the new Moon solar eclipse in Taurus. Some may feel and be particularly steadfast in how they continue to use old strategies as they deal with new and past issues. Insisting the world has not changed is implied through the resurrection of old formulas. An unwillingness to change things up may prove difficult as new requirements from current times call for greater understanding and willingness to share. The idea that security comes from a mutually supportive strategy is called for and if the old ways do not include this individuals may isolate and build forts around themselves and remain lost in irrelevant ideas and their correlating actions. As the focus shifts from courage and boldness to the quality of security one is experiencing the type of actions one takes will also shift. A discernment as to what is the better action will be determined by foundational consideration or material status of the individual. Success is more likely to occur if there are mutual benefits for all involved. When passions and resources are merged a new type of foundational security is possible. This new Moon solar eclipse in Taurus will set up a revolution where sharing and passion are given passage. Through confidence commitment and integrity the idea that there is strength in numbers may prove true.

Managing practical affairs becomes a breeze as the creative mind and the practical mind merge their agenda and quicken intuition which is clearly focused on accepting one's organic truth. Pallas Athena will be conjunct the Sun Moon conjunction during the new Moon solar eclipse in Taurus. The new Moon in Taurus will bring, or at the very least challenge, the logical mind to cooperate with the basic simplicity of real living. Real here will be defined as the physical world as this is a baseline understanding for those who are serious about seeking security and comfort from this 3D perspective. Of course one could argue that all is energy and that the physical world is an illusion. Good luck with that as this is about security, the food we put on the table, the money and income we make, this is about dealing with survival issues. For those who are able to reconcile the "all is energy" belief with the need for physical security, bravo. The intelligence, or better said as awareness, of Pallas Athena offers such advanced wisdom to the individual and for those who go to this evolved awareness often they may have company as this Pallas Athena new Moon conjunction may be just the ticket to initiate many into this zone of awareness/intelligence. Pallas Athena represents an advanced wisdom which is of a practical nature and so this conjunction could not be more appropriate for her.

The presence of the individual as a sensitive vulnerable creative and compassionate being triggers an emotional experience where insight opens ones heart in an acceptance of all that is. Neptune's long journey through home turf Pisces is highlighted by her trine with asteroid Vesta in Cancer during this new Moon phase. With both Ceres and Vesta currently transiting Cancer a focus on domestic concerns is indicated. The willingness to take action to protect family as well as a high order of significance being attributed to family are both charged up. This can bring about a serious tone in some households as security is designed and implemented. Cancer here is not just about family and the home, Cancer can also refer to or indicate the creative nature of the individual, a spontaneous child like expression, and with the trine to Neptune in Pisces this fuels spontaneous expressions of an artistic nature. Vesta will bring special meaning to one's artistic expression for example. Neptune in Pisces will alter our planetary energy over the long haul. Compassion of one human to another, one living creature to another, will grow and increase. Sometimes mysterious ways of seeing each other will begin to occur the bottom line being an emotional acceptance, a love, for all things organic increases like a gradual rising tide, eventually we are all in the ocean of compassion. As this occurs many things which could be said to distract the human mind from natural respect and compassion are gradually washed over, compassion eventually become a major priority. In the shorter window of this new Moon solar eclipse in Taurus, as Neptune and Vesta trine in Cancer, the creative elements of the individual which are aligned with this rising compassion and the with diligent use of innocent creative expression fill the emotional self. How high one can go is an individual experience yet there is a purity of heart indicated here which sings Spirit and Earth into galactic and cosmic octaves.

With this Moon cycle beginning in Taurus the focus will be on personal beliefs and thoughts which spring from issues pertaining to foundation and security. The current report, including the fourteen period cycle below, is scripted from the perspective of experiencing and witnessing these beliefs as they flood into the mind and are extended to others through communication. Thoughts and ideas communicated reveal beliefs which have been encouraged by notions which detail where security comes from. An evolution of self awareness occurs as the influence behind the beliefs becomes known. Those born under the Sun sign Taurus have a natural propensity to seek solid ground through beliefs, they know value as it is measured in the comfort and security beliefs support. They naturally locate a steadiness within a sea of communicated ideas. Not to exclude others as we all have Taurus somewhere in our personal astrology charts, the following is a simplified list intended to indicate where each Sun sign would access Taurus propensity for locating and being steady. There are many accents in each personal astrology chart where an individual's energy will be characterized by an apparent alternate Sun sign, as in being their Moon sign. In these cases there may be personal alignments which support a deviation of one's will from their highest order. The intention here is to clarify a basic location or activity where an individual can find or manifest into their experience comfort and security and thus create added meaning to the content of the report. These can also serve as healthy intentions.

I manifest a natural comfort and steadiness ...
• Aries: by valuing and trusting what I see and witness right there in front me.
• Pisces: by listening for and speaking from basic understanding.
• Aquarius: by trusting my feelings and extending this to self acceptance.
• Capricorn: by being selective as I accept those ideas which will facilitate inspired action.
• Sagittarius: by being discerning and realistic as I focus specifically on what is my own concern.
• Scorpio: by accepting my partner for what is mirrored back to me.
• Libra: by paying attention to the common ground which prevails from my partnerships.
• Virgo: by allowing myself to discover the unifying nature of the Earth, no matter where I find myself upon her.
• Leo: by bringing a realistic and solid foundation to the public I serve.
• Cancer: by keeping my involvement with friends and community simple.
• Gemini: by allowing myself to merge with nature and accept her constant state of welcoming as she provides for her entire organic family.

The Birthdays section is a list of birthdays which are being strongly affected by current astrological alignments. If a birthday is not listed here it doesn't mean that a person is not experiencing significant astrological influences which are dynamically paralleling life changes. After all we are experiencing tremendous Earth changes now, nobody is excluded. The people who do have these birth dates are being strongly influenced now and are likely experiencing life altering dynamics. In some cases great opportunities are occurring and in others great challenges are brought forward. Since all challenges can be re-framed as opportunities all those who have these birthdays are experiencing great live changing opportunities. If a birthday is just a day or so previous to the listed date then the person has recently experienced a major change. Due to the retrograde nature of transiting planets the change is not necessarily complete, it may return. If a birthday follows a date listed the person will soon experience a major change. Again due to the retrograde nature of transiting planets the person may have already begun a major change which seems to have backed off, and will most definitely return.

01 Thursday May 9th - New Moon solar eclipse in Taurus 8:30 PM
If one wants to bake a cake they have to go get certain ingredients, they have a plan, a recipe, they have the tools to mix and cook. This new Moon solar eclipse offers the individual the same practical opportunity, to set forth on a plan which is driven by the final outcome. Just as one will have a picture of the cake before they begin, you have registered within your intention a picture of a desired outcome. Granted this outcome requires many things yet important to note is the inspiration for your cake, for your whatever. There is an unquestioned certainty which envelopes your entire Moon cycle, yet it helps if you take the time to set yourself into some inspired outcome, as if it has occurred, as if it is familiar. Notice how many people just naturally begin something on or near a new Moon with out even consciously knowing it is a new Moon phase, auspicious! This being a Taurus Moon cycle we are looking at fundamental security, comfort, grounding, stability, steadiness, things like that. Because the Moon's south node is currently transiting Taurus and Saturn is currently transiting opposite zodiac sign Scorpio there is set to occur an evolution, or perhaps on the personal level a resolution, of how security is expected to occur. The fundamental basic understanding of where security comes from may have been altered as new versions of being realistic become accepted or realized. Since we are talking about physical security here, among other things, there is a rather serious vibe going on with the masses as most, or at least many people, believe we must fight to survive, we must work hard, real hard, and make dollars. The bottom line as indicated astrologically and what is about to play out, or continue to play out, is the idea of sharing. How sharing is understood becomes more important as it is functional for one to achieve security. For example financial security occurs not at the expense of another but at the benefit of another. Win win situations open those involved to expanded astrological alignments and expanded energy dynamics occurring now. As a hint - it's not just about personal security yet this is how some/many individuals have been conditioned to believe, as if we are separate. Once it is realized that humans basically want to share energy, it's in our basic make up trumping current cultural separateness, they will expedite their own comfort and security because it aligns them to higher frequency patterns which are extensions of our Earth's imputes to sustain organic life. It is a good plan to make sure we feel the mutual benefit before moving an agenda forward. Sensuality also parallels our comfort and survival as there will be those who are motivated to increase or heal their emotional security. Either way it is that natural sense, the ease of being there now, which on the new Moon solar eclipse assists the individual at mapping out their intention on multi-layers and then going with the flow of their commitment as they ride with the Moon Sun through this Taurus Moon cycle. So lets intend to have our cake and eat it too.

02 Friday May 10th - Moon enters Gemini 7:22 PM
We have a mind as opposed to we are our mind can be demonstrated as a powerful insight which concludes as an advanced awareness for the individual. For example we may have certain concerns which are seemingly separate. They may be separated by being associated with different relationship experiences or they may be separated by time. Yet it can, at some point within an individual's evolving awareness, become known to them that a unified inner process connects these seemingly separate events. In order for this to occur the individual must be able to see themselves as a being separate from their thoughts, mind, or ego. It is the feeling self the emotional self which keeps us glued together and when trusted this feeling nature can bring us into a wholeness which will prove to be our ultimate security and comfort among countless other desirable personal characteristics. To achieve such an auspicious state of self awareness requires many things, one of which is our ability to observe ourselves lovingly and objectively. Many, or perhaps all, of the things individuals what to achieve for themselves are actually by-products of their achieved wholeness. During this Moon in Gemini transit Mars will move over the Moon's south node in Taurus, the individual will punch out established thoughts, these thoughts will contain the history of one's beliefs. The strategy here, if the individual chooses such, is to take particular note of what the emotional motivation behind these thoughts are and to qualify or reiterate their value. The automation of man begins with a mind automated to the beliefs of others, as in mind control. It is up to the individual to assert the will and effort to undue the fragmentation caused by being defined by external authorities and begin the process of returning to self love, returning to wholeness.

03 Monday May 13th - Moon enters Cancer 5:58 AM
Mercury ingress Gemini Wednesday May 15th 8:42 AM
Aggressively acting out the past can show up in people's words and actions. As a bid for simplicity a past notion may be reiterated. Simplicity is absolutely a good strategy yet here there is a caution that the version of simplicity is not necessarily in harmony with others. The idea is to find solutions which are mutually agreeable, which provide a foundation functional for others as well as for oneself. This can be tricky as the Moon transits Cancer and many are more emotionally sensitive than usual, especially in how things are said. This increase in emotional sensitivity can also be interpreted as an increase in creativity, it only becomes a challenge when creativity by the individual is denied. When and if a past scenario seems to be the way to go check in with oneself and see if it is the most fun or exciting. Chances are the individual may be robbing themselves of a golden opportunity to move forward in a group or community way, a new way. Some rather boring old way is likely being shown to the individual. Life may be presenting the individual with an opportunity to tie up some fleeting connection with their past by presenting them with a new opportunity to raise their involvement with others.

04 Wednesday May 15th - Moon enters Leo 6:39 PM
An element of being confident is the steadiness one posses as they engage lifes experiences. Things appear to be handled in a calm self assured way, this would be the typical perception. One may act confident by deliberately making an effort to be steady or still in the moment or this characteristic may be a natural outcome of an individual's energy. During this Leo Moon transit period self confidence may be tested, the quality or result of this test appearing as steadiness when interacting within events or being involved with others. One's inner contemplation, their inner dialogue, will parallel the events they experience as per the belief "thought creates". This creates several opportunities for the individual who is intending to be confident and to maintain value in their interactions with others. For example by observing one's automatic talking and thinking the beliefs which bind them to certain types of experiences can be discovered. It is a matter of following those emotions and feelings connected to buried past events with current events which trigger reactions. In this case, as the Moon is in Leo, the emotional reactions will be related to self confidence.

05 Saturday May 18th - Moon enters Virgo 5:34 AM
Sun ingress Gemini Monday May 20th 9:11 AM
The Virgo Moon signals an opportunity to test or check out the quality of one's foundation, especially a new found foundation or some form of welcomed simplicity which is thought to contribute to one's sense of comfort. Planetary ruler to Virgo, Mercury, which by the way is also the planetary ruler to Gemini, is now transiting Gemini indicating a focus on the effective quality of one's communication, their words. This shared ruler ship becomes interesting after Monday morning as both Virgo and Gemini are visited by luminaries Sun and Moon. Near the end of this Moon in Virgo transit, specifically Monday at 9:11 AM, the Sun will ingress Gemini. This may be noticed as a major shift in energy as Jupiter has been in Gemini for close to a year now expanding the sharing of ideas, as well as internal thoughts and ideas. The Sun will shine light on the value of these ideas making them potentially functional. This may be the time when people start bringing out their inner dialogue and their ideas if they have not already. In the meantime the Virgo Moon will have many questioning their logic, both externally and internally. The perceived quality of one's logic will be directly related to the new found simplicity and comfort one's foundational beliefs and understanding bring them.

06 Monday May 20th - Moon enters Libra 1:08 PM
Uranus square Pluto Monday May 20th 6:03 PM
This entire Moon cycle experiences a Pluto Uranus square yet it becomes astronomically exact during this period, Moon transit Libra. Pluto retrograde in Capricorn square Uranus in Aries can force one to discover something new about their relationship, their partnership. It will most likely involve being responsible for shared ideas or how one treats another on the surface where the shared ideas were assumed to be correct because they were so wide spread socially. This responsibility will be related to how the individual is also responsible for their own state of being grounded. Being grounded here implies how one's spirit is in their body. When one is liked or loved in a relationship it typically indicates that their is some self love here to trigger the external parallel, being liked by another. Self liking is a good way to remain in our body, to be grounded. If you don't like something then it is difficult to stay around it or in it. As the square (Pluto Uranus) breaks up old patterns on a community level, old beliefs of a more local or personal concern are left without external world foundation. For a moment the individual can feel either lost, or free, or some mix of lost and free at the same time. It is actually an opportune moment as the individual has the choice to see their identities as sort of make believe, and as such can evolve their awareness by reducing their need to grip onto an identity, an identity which falls apart if it is not some how qualified by external events, external relationship experiences. If an individual experiences some sort of physical challenge during this period they may want to take note that they are being set-up to self observe their ongoing sense of relationship responsibility.

07 Wednesday May 22nd - Moon enters Scorpio 4:56 PM
The relationship between one's own fundamental beliefs and those of another who they partner with are potentially lined up such that they become relative to each other. Ideally there will be a harmonic between individuals where an individuals sense of self governing, self confidence, has within it's makeup a place for the sharing of energy. Challenges now can be made to advantage as they will most definitely parallel other challenges the individual has left unresolved in their past. Nothing inconsequential is occurring as the success one experiences now and in their near future is directly related to their ability to demonstrate a reformed sense of responsibility. Here characteristics like responsibility and maturity are by-products of awareness, one's ability to notice things. This can be challenging as the moment of insight may occur during an actual interaction. The issue will likely involved how things are shared, things which lead an individual to feel safe and secure, includes property and financial security. Sensual security can also be involved and interestingly will potentially parallel financial issues. These external world events do parallel internal ongoing dynamics which pop into one's day to day feelings or dreams. As such this is an ideal time to discover one's limitation in terms of what one has been obsessively gripping onto.

08 Friday May 24th - Moon enters Sagittarius 5:50 PM
Full Moon in Sagittarius Saturday May 25th 12:26 AM
The value in good communications has likely showed itself lately, whether it be for work and business or for family and friends. When the congruency between ideas of several people begins to merge in a mutually supportive fashion the benefits for those involved grows. Here again the communication becomes necessary and functional as an adherence to one's commitment compliments the motive and commitment of another. When things are not as ideal then there are typically distractions which can distance an individual from group or team effort. As Jupiter will soon finish it's Gemini transit before the end of June these last twelve months have likely been good for expediting the communication portion of relationships. This was and is most likely affecting business opportunities in a positive way. With the Moon in Sagittarius, Sagittarius being the opposite or complimentary zodiac sign to Gemini, and also the full Moon in Sagittarius, the testing or the measuring of communication value occurs as the outcome of emotional reaction. Possible emotional reactions can occur as the idea or notion of one's public or professional reputation become apart of their current dynamic, for example an expected validation of one's assumed position is short of expected. Ultimately feeling reactions can assist one in their intuitive take on public or professional matters, for example self confidence translates to friendly, effective, to the point discussions.

09 Sunday May 26th - Moon enters Capricorn 5:30 PM
The 12 month period delineated by Jupiter's transit through Gemini will soon end when Jupiter makes the Cancer ingress on June 25th. During this Moon transit through Capricorn Jupiter makes a conjunction with both Mercury and Venus in Gemini. The magnifying affect of Jupiter has been developing in Gemini for the last year and now augments the Mercury Venus conjunction. The natural ability to be clear minded in one's communication and to be drawn to communication as a preferred way to relate to others is increased, supported. This can be considered a peak or sweet moment in Jupiter's transit through Gemini. It may feel as if some agenda is assisted by a dedicated and directed communication. Ideas are urged such that they epitomize responsibility and serving one's duty as indicated by the current active Earth signs Taurus and Capricorn. Maintaining the steady foundational quality of Taurus the ideas which are supported through communications of various types can be seen as extensions of this foundational steadiness. This is also suggested as Venus is the planetary ruler of Taurus. By valuing emotional sensitivity and one's sensual nature one is able to find and apply a single stable foundation to apparent diverse realities. Look for opportunities to gain increased mental clarity as diversity of ideas can more easily be settled into a singular foundational intention as opposed to being lost in over thinking or over analyzing via talk and opinion.

10 Tuesday May 28th - Moon enters Aquarius 5:49 PM
The effectiveness of personal foundational boundaries is shown to us through the emotional comfort experienced when serviceing the public through work or employment. The quality of our inner steadiness is certainly the theme here as we carry on through the Taurus Moon cycle. Our sense of being fair with others as we attend to that which we are paid to do leads our professional confidence. The Sun is now in Gemini along with Venus which is currently in conjunction with Jupiter. The foundational confidence we are adapting or possible learning this Moon cycle will translate nicely to an ability to expand upon one's ideas, especially ideas which play into one's profession. Currently in the bigger picture the bigger window time wise, there are some important lessons being learned regarding personal and social survival as well as financial survival and security for families and even communities and cultures. Everything is connected and it must be serviced from the perspective of allowing old systems to move into the past and new systems to come forward. These will be family systems, community systems, and larger scale social systems. Specifically it is infrastructure on physical foundation which is being referred to here. As a new foundation, in terms of beliefs, begins to grow they will translate into actual social infrastructure foundation and it is this social growing which can, at times, be painful. This is why it is such a good idea, a good plan, to allow oneself to connect to others, neighbors, family, community, when an opportunity occurs. The true value of sharing experiences and energy may not typically be known yet it will stand in the end as the ultimate road to confront and security in our future.

11 Thursday May 30th - Moon enters Pisces 8:31 PM
Mercury ingress Cancer Friday May 31st 3:08 AM
Mars ingress Gemini Friday May 31st 6:40 AM
It may seem that one's idea or intention to create steadiness and security in their life requires an assertion of rules directed toward a partnership. A relationship may seem to play into one's concerns as they individually attempt to simplify their life. As the Moon transits Pisces the individual may want to take it easy as far as being assertive goes, especially within a partnership scenario. Pisces, and ruling planet Neptune which is currently transiting Pisces, will become increasingly dominate in the years to come and so now can be seen as a preliminary or trial period where compassion and feelings are elevated in their perceived relevance. If one were to continue some sort of hard direct control through dictation of rules they may run into some difficulty as the boundaries they imply are important can become dissipated like disappearing lines in a sunny noon time sky. There is a certain sense of compassion directed to friends and the public in general which may also be felt now. The good feeling of doing volunteer work for example can connect one to this "future energy" of increased social compassion, in a sense it is as if the future self is prompting and pulling one forward into this future. Once the Moon finishes this Pisces transit and makes an Aries ingress a definite shift of energy occurs, it's back to being assertive, if this applies.

12 Sunday June 2nd - Moon enters Aries 2:35 AM
Venus ingress Cancer Sunday June 2nd 10:14 PM
Today one is motivated to speak up. Even the reserved type personality can break through and say the unexpected. Perhaps something which needs to be done cannot be put off any longer. There is even an element of fear potentially involved. What makes this a take verbal action day is the Sun in Gemini will be sextile to Uranus in Aries while the Moon transits Aries. Uranus as the ruler to Aquarius triggers social freedom and in Aries, which it has been since March of 2011, denotes actions, social actions related to freedom. Aries, and ruling planet Mars are associated with an individual's ego and so we see the connection to how one sees themselves socially. The manner and effectiveness which one applies to their responsibilities can be shown to them now as this effectiveness translates to value the individual brings to community. It's as if actions directed toward their personal responsibilities has community affects. Ideally this is the case, an individual's personal responsibilities add to or support public harmony. A lack of this type of congruency, personal motivations being in harmony with community, will also be shown to the individual. With this being a "Moon transit Aries" period emotional reactions can trigger physical actions. If one feels they are of no value to their community this can trigger a fear which can lead to destructive actions. The individual is mistaken to believe that we who make up a community are separate, we are very much connected and it is the degree of awareness of this connection which the individual responds to which plays out here. The bottom line, the more one deals with personal responsibilities the more valuable they are to community.

13 Tuesday June 4th - Moon enters Taurus 11:55 AM
Dark Moon begins Thursday June 6th 2:36 AM
Even though it has become important to establish a personal foundation there is also the need to be aware of others, how they are affected, supported, or challenged by our actions. The Moon's nodal axis transit though Scorpio/Taurus is no small detail and with this being a Taurus Moon cycle, and the Moon now returning to Taurus, the effect of this nodal axis has no doubt been experienced. Also it must be noted that Saturn, currently retrograde, is transiting Scorpio. Shake-ups affecting security, and this would include financial security as this is how individuals measure or experience security from an ego level, have been occurring and it is this Moon cycle in Taurus where the individual has hopefully obtained for themselves an expanded insight as to where and how life provides for them. The ability to insist that each party benefit equally from an arrangement which involves the use of each individual's energy, and money here can be considered energy, leads to opportunities which in the past may have been over looked. It is interesting to note that what is driving successful arrangements between business partners, or any partners for that matter, is the allowing of inspiration into the choice and decision process, it is the great feeling one gets when they can clearly see and feel how their actions are beneficial to others. Many things are beginning now, not from greed or hoarding, they are beginning from the vision of being involved with others, from sharing energy. The Taurus Moon cycle shows in a matter of fact realistic way, a physical way, how ideas of this good nature can be translated into real outcomes. A new steady foundation for the individual may well have gained significant ground.

14 Thursday June 6th - Moon enters Gemini 11:33 PM
Neptune retrograde Friday June 7th 4:26 AM
Once a foundation has been established the communication of ideas can truly expedite an agenda. There is much inventiveness in how ideas are actively communicated as indicated by the Pallas Athena Mars conjunction in Gemini. This past Moon cycle has been a wonderful opportunity for those who were ripe for a new journey to establish a very solid grounding for it. The thing that makes this special is the belief the individuals involved have regarding how things are shared. For those who are motivated to support sharing energy as a priority, they may have just established something special for themselves and their community. Many may benefit and have happy times as consideration for others is the basic ingredient for a new community foundation. Appreciation as such can be amplified and it is to remember, when the time calls for it, that others are not so dissimilar to self and they too love to share energy by being involved with others. Enthusiasm can be contagious and running like a flood over a newly established terrain. When things become challenging, and they always do at some point, it is to remember what has been established. The manner in which one communicates indicates how their enthusiasm stands, for good times or bad times. It's all in cycles and so good or bad it can all be made to work once we are crystal that we are in this together.
