1st Quarter Moon in Virgo 2012 ~> Tara Moon

First quarter Moon May 28th = Medicine Buddha ~ Tara Moon ~> HEALING crisis in ACTION _(♥)_

Virgo Moon seeks perfection daily ♥ Conjunct dynamic Mars, Goddess Luna is the ideal mother and caretaker, actively protecting with practical logic and hands-on action; but in T-square to Gemini Mercury and opposition to Neptune, intuition rules and our emotional drive is towards spiritual realms, beyond limits of boundary-centred existence, in chaotically ordered fractal bliss.

♥ With only a week to go until SakaDawa, Full Sagittarius Moon on June 4th, the Tibetan festival of Buddha's birth, death and paranirvana _(♥)_ the awakening heart Venus transit to the Sun is only a day after, June 5/6 ♥

~> Spare a thought/prayer for all beings, nations, families and friends to enjoy heartfelt love & cordial relations, as well as for Earth herself with treasured flora and fauna; during this 1st Quarter Moon, Spirit Sun & communicating Mercury pick-up the very same Gemini degree at which Venus Goddess of LOVE goes forward at the end of June, applying Plato's dictum that 'Love is the pursuit of the Whole' _/♥\_ ૐ

Gemini Solar Eclipse ~> Breathing into Being

Sensitivity and quick reaction accompany the cosmic interplay between Sun, Moon & Earth, intensifies this weekend with a Gemini Solar Eclipse 20th/21st May (00:47bst on the 21st). Eclipses mark dramatic shifts, both within one's personal life, and without, as in the world around. And in Gemini, any change tends to be fast.

Intellectual Gemini is a dualistic sign that governs communication, thought, and how the mind perceives. As an Air sign, versatile Gemini has the ability to go with the flow, ride the wind, and breathe new-life into old ideas. Breath is also the heart-mind’s all-important vehicle to Spirit. During an eclipse meditation (which may be emotionally heightened as Sun and Moon square-up to the current Neptune/Chiron conjunction) our connection to Spirit is direct and focused; with the heaven’s advising to guard the Bodhi mind’s treasure and to be aware of breath as it fills the body with pure prana (universal energy), one is enabled to swiftly recognise separate realities and pacify any chaotic thoughts, to calm, protect, and centre the heart-mind dwelling in the magical mystery of true presence, even in the midst of a continual change _(♥)_

This solar eclipse begins a lunation which culminates in a Gemini-Sagittarius lunar eclipse at Saka Dawa, on June 4th, when Tibetans celebrate the birth, death and paranirvana of Sakyamuni Buddha. Swiftly following the full moon, Venus will transit of the Sun _(♥)_

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.” Buddha

Vesek 2012 Buddha Purnima Beltane Full Moon

Get ready to touch base with magnificent and magnified shining Buddha nature, as the year’s biggest supermoon is on the rise! And in the radiant light of this brilliant Full Scorpio Moon, Buddhists across Asia also celebrate ‘Vesak’, or ‘Buddha Purnima’ as it is called in India, commemorating the birth, death and paranirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha.

When Lord Buddha was born 2500+ years ago, as the son of a King, an astrologer predicted Prince Gothama Siddhartha would achieve great powers: if Siddhartha followed a spiritual path, he would become an enlightened saint or, if he followed his regal father into the world of materialistic desire, he would be a renowned ruler. Either way, Buddha Shakyamuni was destined for greatness – such is the formidable command of the fixed and determined Taurus-Scorpio Sun-Moon alignment. Thankfully, after years of meditation and realising the true nature of reality, Buddha chose to leave the palace and walk the dharma path, to remind how our own enlightenment sparkles. No matter how much we obscure the innate spiritual treasure we are all born with, this particular sun-moon phase raises our vibration for the unconditional love-light to shine (which some in the west might call this soul-awareness Christ consciousness) that also helps one to appreciate the value of having the karma to be blessed with a precious human rebirth.

Full Moon is exact at 3:35 London on Sunday 6thMay; 9:05 Delhi; May 5th 23:35 New York, 8:35 LA ~> May your meditation, drum, dance & song during this powerful interaction between the Beltane Sun, Earth, and the Perigee Moon, lead to full realisation and heartfelt love _(♥)_

Planets in transit: technical astrospeak...

Practical Taurus Sun exemplifies a grounded spirit; opposite an alchemical Scorpio Moon, personal sensitivity is profoundly transformational. Both Sun and Moon now at 16 degrees also make good aspects to other planets. The Beltane fixed-earth Venus-ruled Taurus Sun next to auspicious Jupiter, and Earth Mother, Ceres (aka Demetre), indicates a potentially good harvest for all that has been metaphorically sown during the previous two weeks, from new moon to full.

As soon as La Luna is full, she begins to wane towards the new moon solar eclipse on May 20^th at 0 Gemini. This will then mark another important lunation, as Venus in Gemini will also be in retrograde motion (think back 8 years to June 2004 to reconnect with this other incredibly rare 121-year occultation, a phenomena which occurs in pairs). This retrograde of the Love Goddess is perfect to tame the mind and restore self–love.
