⊚ Solar Eclipse 9° Taurus ~> April 29th _/✿\_

KARMA MULTIPLIED day (positive or negative)

The cosmic ring of fire that surrounds the New Taurus Moon SOLar eclipse early Tuesday morning at 7:13am BST (2:13pmEST) is only visible in the remote regions of southern Antarctica. Though a partial eclipse will be seen in Australia, as this feminine and fecund, earthy Taurus Sun Moon Mercury & Earth align with the powerful and karmic Dragon’s tail, otherwise known as ‘Ketu’ or the ‘south node’.

Astrology associates the Dragon’s tail to past-life energy and the often difficult influences/issues/states of mind – kleshas - we bring with us from previous incarnations. Buddhism notes three main kleshas as being attachment (desire), aversion (anger), and ignorance, from whence all our problems in this life, and past and future lives emit. Thus Ketu, currently conjunct and ruled by fiery Mars, retrograde and in fall in Libra, is Karma Control: In union with the sensuous Taurus Sun and Moon, Karma Control emphasizes the need to observe the aggressive desire nature and to be mindful of impulses.

This is a solar eclipse to set a positive intention towards stabilizing the mind to rest in the inner-peace Buddha would do in Earth-Touching mudra meditation. Dynamically balancing delicate beauty within a peaceful heart-mind also takes active training and discipline. Be kind to yourself, remember the Taurean Buddha sat under a tree for years before his enlightenment. Taurus is practical and patient; and when not being indulgent or lazy is currently capable of transforming the most reticent mind into appreciating the richness of Spirit at One with nature, showing loving kindness in every thought, gesture or word - with a love that even stabilizes spiritual devotion and understanding.

Wishing you all good practice, my friends _/\_

ૐ Dakini Day! _/♥\_ૐ April 24th ~> onwards to the Solar Eclipse!

April 24th ~> Dakini Day! _/♥\_ૐ With the Goddess always committed to spiritual care, it is during this intense time of the Cardinal Cross of the Central Spiritual Sun that honoring the Divine Feminine now blesses all enlightened activity.

These last few weeks in April/May have astrally marked a major shift in consciousness, albeit on a deeply subtle level for many. Now the sensitive Moon in Pisces (conjunct Neptune) makes her last strong and sacred aspect to the Taurus Sun, before joining forces with the New Taurus Moon Solar eclipse on Tuesday 29th, to create core stability that aids staying on center during the upcoming solar eclipse and Grand Cross activity. This is a profoundly feminine combination of ‘The Lights’ accenting heartfelt devotion (to helping self to help others). It is worthwhile noting that La Luna makes mainly positive aspects while she transitions through this waning Moon phase. Only on Sunday the 27th does the Dark Aries Moon activate the Grand Cardinal Cross, and the four yang planets indicating the guards of the gates of the four square mandala: Uranus in Aries (east), Jupiter in Cancer (south), Mars in Libra (west) & Pluto in Capricorn (north). The Moon in worldly astrology represents the people; and as the Moon now enters the mandala through the Eastern gate associated with the Year of the Horse, we can all sense something big is happening. And it’s true, with beneficent Jupiter, planet of freedom, truth and expansion also the natural synthesizer of this Cardinal Cross.a natural kind of magic is developing - almost out of the blue. And manifesting Divinity into matter is not just a wistful whim of the imagination, but a dramatic realization that by relaxing into the refuge of the flowering heart, we discover the blessed joy of great delight. _/♥\_ૐ

Solar Eclipse 19° Taurus ~> May 9th/10th _/✿\_

KARMA MULITPLIED dayS x 100,000,000 ~> _/♥\_ૐ

In the northern hemisphere, Gaia now stirs the senses, spring flowers burst forth as nature performs spontaneous acts of love with new forms and shapes growing quickly day by day; colour, sounds and smells vividly stimulate a curious heart essence to blossom and bloom. In the southern hemisphere a new kind of freshness brings a different vision, beckoning one inward towards an intimate kind of warmth.

And so it is at each monthly conjunction of Sun and Moon, another lunation begins and a sense of the new begins to stir. With Sun and Moon now in fertile Taurus forming a Solar Eclipse on Friday morning at 1:27am BST (8:27pmEST 9thMay), a cosmic kind of consciousness has the potential to ride the celestial waves that flow between Sun-Moon and Earth to nourish body and soul, as well as dramatically innovate and stimulate the mindstream into blissful pristine awareness. Eclipses present a rare moment suspended in time, where the bounty of eternal beauty comes from aligning the dynamic Sun with our reflective Moon and Mother Earth.

It is at this point when the earthy Taurean equanimity of a determined male Sun and bountiful female Moon conjoin (energetically at third eye). In meditation we can create a sacred internal space that opens a powerful portal for magical human realization; worldly concerns can melt away and pale into insignificance. If you are in the Pacific, on a cloudless day you will see the Moon in front of the Sun, surrounded by a golden glow emanating the Sun’s light of intelligence. Wherever we are we can still tune-into and feel this very special phenomenon, when actions, thoughts and words take on a great karmic significance.

This Taurean lunation is the second of three eclipses. The previous was lunar, revealing the importance of letting-go of all that no longer serves, at the same time accepting personal responsibility for personal happiness. The next full moon will be another Lunar Eclipse, on May 25th. It will also be SakaDawa, celebrating Lord Buddha’s birth, enlightenment and Paranirvana. And now we have a Solar eclipse, accenting the light of Spirit being supported either side between these two yin Full Moons. These are potent weeks: While we have the cosmic tools to be mindful of the present, past-life and future life visions can deja-vu.

Yet still we might find the suffering we see around us touches that tender place within. Then we know the transformation of the heart is a personal journey, one that witnesses pain and still remain grounded and centred – engaged in goodness, but not overwhelmed by sadness. With six celestial markers in Taurus, the good life invites us to live more simply: give thanks, eat well, sleep well and practice well_/ ✿\_

Sun & Moon are also conjunct explosive Mars, informative Mercury, AND Pallas Athena, warrior woman strategist, bringing active plans into focus. But seeing as combative Mars is also stirring up action best cover all bases, and at least look at the pros and cons of plan B.
