How
to Treat your Aries |
|
|
|
Your
Aries is a highly intuitive, fiery, fast-acting, independent person
who needs freedom above all. Aries people can stand alone in the
world, and take pride in their ability to go through life without
leaning on others. They always have a plan of action. If your Aries
is not moving fast physically, you can be sure that mind is brimming
with ideas. For Aries, the head is what it's all about, and Aries
wants to put every idea into motion.
Let
your Aries know how wonderful and special she/he is. In spite of
that bold, confident appearance, or perhaps because of it, Aries can
be somewhat the loner and not get support when needed. Also, your
Aries may never feel truly complete or accomplished at anything
because of the high standards he sets for himself. So, feed him with
praise to boost his ego, and offer your loving encouragement to fan
her passionate fire. Then, allow your Aries to follow those dreams,
and offer helpful pointers and solutions wherever needed. You might
feel invisible and unappreciated, but don't despair. Your Aries feels
as if you are a part of her, and so may not understand the need to
show gratitude. Just notice the way she glows inside when you give
your advice, or the loving looks he gives you, and his determination
to do even more. To Aries, this is the biggest thank you of all.
Most
importantly, do everything possible to make your Aries feel
unfettered. Like all fire signs, Aries can't stand to be led around
or confined - unless as a means to an end. Let your Aries come up
with the idea first, if possible. Otherwise, if you want your Aries
to do something, ask gently!
Your
Aries has a passionate heart and the best of intentions, yet is a
very sensitive, instinctual and intuitive individual. Your thoughtful
love will be rewarded with heroic efforts and a proud devotion to
your needs.

How
to Treat your Taurus |
|
|
|
Taurus
looks strong on the outside - sturdy and sensual, but is a truly
needy individual. What your Taurus needs, day in and day out is love
and nurturing - in the form of food and comfort, a peaceful or
artistic atmosphere, and music.
The
Taurus thrives on creature comforts and beauty. That is why money is
considered to be important to Taureans. It is merely a means to an
end! More money amounts to more cozy and luxurious surroundings for
our soft hearted friend.
If
you watch cows, you'll understand Taurus. Taurus looks tough and
unapproachable, but has those soft, sweetly soothing eyes that you
just have to love. Taurus eats, then mosies off to get comfortable
and wait patiently for attention to come her way. Taurus does not
want to work very hard, and will always find the most expedient way
to get what she wants - even if it means turning into a hot-tempered bull.
The
Taurus will fool you into believing that he's perfectly content, but
watch out! He patiently waits for what he needs, then - assuming you
are aware of his every desire - he blows up unexpectedly over some
tiny oversight when patience suddenly runs out. That's why it's good
to check in on your Taurus frequently to make sure he feels cared for
in every way... no sense testing him to the limit!
Feed
your Taurus with good food, romantic music, respectful pampering and
your undying devotion and loyalty. Don't make sudden moves or
changes, and don't disturb your Taureans peaceful or comfortable
moments. Remind your Taurus that you need pampering too - Taurus just
loves to spoil you! You will be rewarded with a passionate, romantic,
sensuous and eternal love.

The
Priest & Priestess in the Tarot |
|
|
|
The
Heirophant (Priest) in the Tarot is associated with Taurus.
~
Counselors ~
I
like the way this deck portrays the Priest and Priestess from a
distance - somewhat removed from others, objective and wise. These
people, in their purest form, are to be treated with the utmost
respect - they are humble servants of humanity. They represent our
counselors, guides, friends and advisors. The aura of spirituality
and even religious imagery that surrounds them is a deliberate
attempt to conjure up a feeling of awe, respect and reverence.
When
you ask a friend for advice, it is best to be honest about your
concerns - confess all - and to truly listen to what your advisor has
to say. That is assuming that this one is a worthy advisor! The
Priest and Priestess must truly care about you.
There
are some dangers inherent in these archetypes. The seeker may depend
too much on the advisor's help, thus relinquishing his/her own power
in the world. Or, the advisor may become too powerful or egotistical,
and forget the needs of those who seek her/him out. Some advisors
become very dogmatic and stern - lost in the details and particulars
of ritual practice. Even a psychologist or spiritual advisor can
become too pat and repetitive and lose site of the true objective. To
listen, understand, and advise with wisdom and kindness, and to
gently guide the seeker to find his/her own way is often a much more
powerful way of counseling than merely prescribing a few prayers,
practices or rituals. This is not to demean the power of ritual and
prayer - they certainly have their place, and may quite possibly be
the answer to everything!
Most
of us, at some time or other, seek a Priestess or Priest to help
guide us through powerful passages in our lives. The road to finding
deeper meaning is much easier when we have a human, compassionate
ear, an intermediary between the mundane and spiritual worlds, and
perhaps some ritual to help keep our spirits alive. We all sometimes
need the gentle, patient guidance and wisdom that an elder, spirit-
guide, dear friend or counselor can provide.

The
Outer Planets - Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and the Lunar Nodes

Uranus
in Pisces! ... Uranus will stay in the Sign of the Fish 'til
2011! Spiritual Revolution you say?? Yes, that would describe it
well. What can we expect with Uranus in Pisces? Perhaps our ideas
about death, sacrifice, the fantastic and impossible, transcendence
and service to humanity will take some dramatic and innovative turns.
We can hope that humanitarianism will take on new meaning and
purpose, and that service to others may become a more integral part
of our social order. With this placement, Uranus can become quite
reclusive or fanatical. Scientists who may have been hiding out for
years in research can bring new and surprising inventions and
discoveries into our midst, and Political Messiahs may come out of
the woodwork. With Uranus and Neptune in mutual reception - they will
rely upon each other more than usual, and herald perhaps a renewed
and revolutionary (Uranus) vision for humanity (Neptune) The cost may
be a certain amount of turmoil and confusion regarding just where we
are going for humanity, and will probably not be without conflict.
Neptune
in Aquarius (til 2012) is helping to set our expressions of love
and creativity into positive, innovative motion. A change in the
prevailing style in movies, fashion and art will be seen in the
months and years to come - probably bringing much more in the realm
of the unusual, shocking, rebellious, and inter-cultural.
Pluto
is in Capricorn now until 2024. The very fabric of society may
begin to be re-woven - but not before old structures are dismantled.
Capricorn is about authority, success, achievement and social order.
Pluto is about death and regeneration. Pluto asks us to dig deep and
USE what is best in our world to create something much better. We
need to avail ourselves of and share our brightest and most
humanistic minds (Uranus in Pisces, Neptune in Aquarius!!),
and not descend into blind destructiveness, greed or desperation.
The
powerful Neptune/Pluto septile, exact on Dec 1, 2006 and Feb.
21, 2007 will last (going in and out of close orb) into 2011! For
those of us who are very creative, tremendous inspiration can bring
influential, explosive, mind-blowing creations. In love - the
potential for making inspired changes is heightened - yet there also
exists the possibility of getting lost in confusion. Avoid falling
into a pit of despair, or indulging in self-destructive activities.
Getting nowhere fast? Look for Creative and Healthy, Inspired, Loving
outlets to save your skin! Get involved in helping others.... this is
especially important now! Neptune/Pluto can bring a fanaticism wthat
has not been seen since the last such aspect at the beginning of
WWII. Yet - this aspect is also very positive for creating lasting,
humanitarian changes throughout the world.
The
North and South Nodes are now on the Aquarius/Leo axis ('til
8/21/09). This node placement brings positive connections based on
love for humanity and the quest for social equality, along with
healing in the area of self-love and love for loyalty's sake. This is
a good time to examine our motives, use our egos wisely, and take the
high road - or face karmic consequences!
Chiron
in Aquarius... This archetype of human compassion will be
passing nonstop through Aquarius from January 06 til Feb. 2011,
bringing a period of higher inspiration in the realm of healing. We
may look forward to greater cooperation worldwide in the healing
sciences, and perhaps going back to tradition - those time honored
ways that our ancestors enjoyed and practiced in harmony with nature.
Perhaps we may find more and more "health" foods (ie
unaltered and unprocessed) on our grocery shelves, greater acceptance
of mind-body healing approaches, and some brave new ideas to surface, too.

Mewsings
from Venus & Mars... April 2009 |
|
 |
|
Venus
is in Aries from 2/3 to 4/11 and 4/25 to 6/6. This Venus is
impulsive and even aggressive in love, preferring to take charge.
Adventure and risk- taking may be on the menu, and personal goals
will become especially important.
Mars
in Pisces from 3/15 to 4/22 is concerned with intangibles, and
those deep feelings that well up and impel us to act. We may feel a
need to fight for those who cannot, or perhaps a greater desire to
withdraw from the cares of the world. This Mars is passionate and
sensitive, and seeks true caring and compassion above all.
Venus
is retro in late Pisces from 4/12-4/24, joining Mars/Uranus.
Those who fight passionately for a cause are likely to fight all the
harder, perhaps with surprising results!
On
4/23, Mars is in Aries until 5/31. We may see a lot of
headstrong and even aggressive behavior - a good time to cultivate
extra patience!
FUTURE
FORECAST FOR LOVE
During
the first week in April, Venus squares Pluto, and Mars
quintiles Pluto (4/3) and opposes Saturn (4/4). Jupiter/Pluto are
octile and Venus/Jupiter as well- bringing a desire to work
out differences on major issues, perhaps through abrupt endings or
adjustments to long term goals. We may see more impulsive/compulsive
behavior. This is a good time to give up what one does not really
want or need. Focus on LOVE to avoid unnecessary conflict, and
practice patience!
The
second and third week have Mars conjunct Uranus (15th)
followed by Venus joining Mars (21st). We might expect more
inspired, ingenious and/or heroic (or perhaps just foolhardy)
actions. The previous week could be a lead up to sudden relationship
breakups, and/or hookups!
During
the fourth week, Mars squares Pluto(26th) and Jupiter
conjuncts Neptune, adding some outright tension, softened (or
complicated) by extreme optimism or escapism. I recommend using this
week to get creative, (but not too lost)
~
The Big Guys ~
Jupiter
is in Aquarius til 1/18/2010. Lucky, expansive Jupiter will be
crossing and re- crossing Chiron and Neptune during 2009, helping to
bring us new ideas in spirituality, religious openness, tolerance and
healing forms of justice.
Saturn
in Virgo 'til July 21, 2010 brings our focus to the things of
the earth.. the cleanliness and purity of our physical environment.
These coming years can bring a stronger sense of purpose and
responsibility within our social institutions, government and from
authority figures regarding the sanctity and protection of our mother
earth. A wonderful time this can be!! Let's make conscious
guardianship of our world the central focus for all we do!
