Grandtrines

Remember that Void Moon times during retrograde Mercury are doubly demanding of our awareness and presence in our daily life activities.

Moon points to Neptune in Pisces (tropical zodiac).  The Moon rises at 5am and can be seen in daylight.  Where you see the Moon, Neptune is at the same area of the sky.
Time to share your artistic side.

Celtic Wheel of the Year, with Ostara / Spring Equinox, BELTANE, Litha, Lughnassad, Mabon, Samhain, Yule, and Imbolc.

BELTANE, the mid Spring Celtic, Pagan festival on April 30 / May 1 (in the middle of TAURUS) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beltane traditionally honours and celebrates fertility and fecundity of Nature!

The Green Man appears, May Pole dances weave the masculine and feminine energies together, and jumping over the Beltane (which means ‘bright fire’) bonfires kindles passion and fertility, while the Beltane ashes have protective powers.

A friend who is a local Victoria Morris dancer (check out this video from England: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V72qxbTu5ao ) sent out an invitation to the Morris Dance Beltane celebration at sunrise. Let’s see if I get myself out there at 5:30 am, or whether the Taurean bed comfort wins 🙂

Here’s one of their songs:

“Heel and toe, jolly ramble-o
We were up, long before the day-o
To welcome in the summer,
To…

This week the Sun is in an earthy Grand Trine alignment with Jupiter and Pluto, bringing with it tremendous opportunity for personal growth and insight.

The Sun is within 3 degrees of an exact 120 degree trine alignment with Jupiter today and at its usual rate of 1 degree a day, will be exact by Tuesday 3 May. It then moves toward an exact trine alignment with Pluto on Saturday 7 May. So for this entire week the influence of the Grand Trine will be available to us as a boost to our lives.

When two planets align at this angle in the same elemental signs – this time earthy Taurus and Virgo – it’s called a trine, which facilitates a healthy blending of the two planetary archetypes concerned. But when three planets align like this all in the mutual elements, it’s called a Grand Trine, and the three planetary…

Love comes in many forms, but many agree mother’s love  comes close to ideal. Venus represents love, Taurus is the sign of endurance, long term commitment and staying the course no matter what.

For a short while to celebrate Venus is Taurus. send an email to anyasastrology@yahoo.com for a FREE answer to one question using astrology. Please include your date, exact time, and place of birth.

Today, as Venus is in the first degree of the earth sign Taurus, it’s good to remember love in all its forms. It’s not just mother love, of course, but anyone finding someone to love in the same way as the ideal mother love is very fortunate.

Cats are known to be excellent moms. While love is not just about taking physical care of someone as in nurturing, in the sign of Taurus it comes closely to mind.

Cat also symbolizes the unknown, instinctual, sensual side…

The Sun moved into Taurus on April 19.

Taurus is ruled by planet Venus. In our journey around the zodiac, after asserting our spiritual essence into human form via Mars in Aries, our Venus sets about establishing a stable connection to the physical world. This includes how we relate to our body, to physical resources like food, clothes and shelter, and to nature. At the same time we learn to enjoy the beauty and miracle of being in a body, to delight in our five senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch. This is fundamental to surviving on the physical plane. We strengthen our commitment to building and maintaining a self, claiming territory for our ego to grow.

Think of a planted seed. Its life force is there, ready to grow and eventually bare fruit. Taurus is the early stage of the seed sprouting…

A good time to: Relax, but get out and enjoy Nature by the fire and figuratively burn away all the hectic thoughts.

Challenges:  Previously unrecognized aspects between the female and male principles may come up for you this period.

Balance:  Realizing that even rotten vegetation can produce a beneficial pure spirit (alcohol) with your help. Anything you’re fermenting deep down in yourself is a sign of something good laying within. It can be purified and coaxed to the surface (consciousness) where it can be useful.

Moon in Capricorn, laboratory process of Fermentation – emotionally reserved

Keywords:
Sun in Aries – persistent, aggressive = enterprising
Moon in Capricorn – changes, retentive = emotionally reserved – Cardinal Earth
Mercury in Aries – mental, aggressive = impulsive
Venus in Pisces – pleasant, relaxative = compassionate
Mars in Scorpio – impulsive, solidifying = explosive
Jupiter in Leo – fortunate…
