“Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” Rumi
Your body is Earth’s body.
Earth’s body is your body.
Savor each precious moment.
Earth wisdom is your birthright.
Embody your center,
sanctuary in the sanctity of your senses.
Bring your attention
to the source and substance upon which you stand.
Your feet touch holy ground.
This precious lifetime,
your animal body.
The earth meets you and supports you.
Your roots are deeper than you know.
Bow to the elements,
within you and all around you.
Your vibrant core is central
in the incomprehensible web of life.
“If we surrendered to earth’s intelligence, we could rise up rooted, like trees.” Rainer Maria Rilke
In communion with the Earth,
be nourished through beauty and pleasure.
Your body is your matrix.
Your body is your compass.
There are hundreds of ways
to kneel and kiss the ground.
Your body is Earth’s body.
Earth’s body is your body.
Savor each precious moment.
Taurus New Moon: Earth Wisdom
May 15, 2018 4:47 am PDT
Taurus is the first earth sign of the zodiac. Fertile, loyal, steady and calm are qualities that are fed by this lunation. This is the time of year for each of us to affirm our connection with our earthy senses. Sensuality, security and comfort. From this center of self-awareness, we are renewed with strength and determination.
Uranus enters Taurus
Only hours after the new moon forms, Uranus enters Taurus where it will be for the next eight years (retrograde in Aries November 6, 2018 – March 6, 2019). Uranus is the Awakener, one of the transpersonal planets that spans a generation of collective change. The tempo and tone is rapid, unexpected and often chaotic. In Taurus, we’re likely to see this reflected in drastic changes in the earth. The volcanic activity in Hawaii has this hallmark of this ingress. In the years ahead, areas of potential innovation and instability include agriculture, the food industry and distribution, corporate machines of earth destruction such as fracking and pipelines. Innovation in the technology of security. Global banking, all forms of how we tender earthly resources are up for radical change.
For individuals who are prone to self-sacrifice, the Uranus in Taurus years offer opportunities to focus on personal freedom and one’s own desires. Attachment to things (physical objects) from a place of scarcity and fear can suddenly be released. Simplicity and practicality are revolutionary. For those who are overly self-absorbed with personal gratification there may be a renewed insistence on greed.
Venus, the ruler of Taurus, will retrograde later this fall, another indication of a reconsideration of finances and relationships. Together with the roller coaster quality of Uranus in Taurus, many are sure to see a fluctuation of desires and a change in values during this year. One thing leads to another. What is emerging from your subconscious?
“An old image holds the Earth to be like a great drum. When we walk on it, especially if we walk with consciousness and an instinctive awareness of the gift of life that we have each received, then we are playing the drum of the Earth with our feet. If that sense of consciousness and awareness can be awakened in enough people, a kind of intensification of being could occur and we could find ourselves coming closer together and being closer to the beating heart of the Earth itself.” Michael Meade
One more note considering this new moon and the days following: Mars enters Aquarius on May 15 and proceeds to square Uranus through Saturday May 19. A raw and explosive combination. The pace of life accelerates this week. The fight for rights, anger, pushiness and impatience can be disruptive. Reread the first part of this post and take it to heart. Root your intentions for your new moon. Peace be with you.
