Love & Liberation in Taurus
As Jupiter meets Sol today in the last degrees of Taurus, I am thinking about how we may clarify our virtues in Venus’s earthen home. Taurus, a fixed, Venusian, earth sign, seeks to sustain love, pleasure, and harmony through the senses and grounding into land/earth/physical reality. Luna, who gives body to spirit, is honored in Taurus, making this last hekekatti, or new moon, a particularly potent time to plant seeds in the Taurean areas of our lives. Hekekatti’s influence is still present, and as I shared in a gathering I held last night with itai’no, this is an opportune time to commit to an enduring embodiment of our love and values.
The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction took place here in Taurus, and remain present here: we may be seeking liberation by digging our heels in and remaining steadfast in the name of love, just as students and activists across the country have done. Many notable activists have prominent placements in Taurus– this is a fixed sign that does not back down and is absolutely committed to Venusian virtues of love and peace.
Where is Taurus in your chart? We can look to this place and ask ourselves: how might we materially, physically, tangibly, embody our love, our virtues, our values in service of collective and personal liberation?
