| The Taurus new Moon introduces mid Spring. Taurus is called a "fixed" Sign and fixed simply means the midpoint of Springtime from Aries through Gemini. In Summer, the midpoint or fixed Sign is Leo; in Autumn, the midpoint or fixed Sign is Scorpio; in Winter, the midpoint or fixed Sign is Aquarius. In the cardinal Sign of Aries, Spring can be more like a lion than a lamb. Spring is truly here and fixed in May. In June Spring is changing or mutable while turning into the cardinal/beginning of Cancer Summer. Of course, the seasons are opposite South of the Equator. So, we might say that the Signs are seasonal and relate to the seasons; Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. The new Moon chart can be studied along with the Scorpio full Moon in two weeks, the Taurus Ingress of 29 days, the three month Aries Equinox chart, and the Taurus full Moon chart November 2, 2009. Remember that we experience life through cycles within cycles without end. Also, the study of Astrology is really extending our environment outward into the solar system and, perhaps, beyond. We are a part of the earth who is part of a solar system who is part of a galaxy, who is part of a group of galaxies who are experiencing cycles within cycles without end. See SOUL IS... In Simplified Mundane Astrology, the fact that Saturn is retrograde and the only planet above the horizon says to me that we need patience, wisdom, and practicality during this period of time (which can be in effect until November 2009). I know, I know, we hate to be patient during this whole time period, but that's what the chart indicates. With Saturn in the 9th house and ruler of the 2nd (co-ruler of the 3rd) we especially need to be patient with foreign affairs, legal affairs, and communicating within, not only our country's boundaries, but with foreign nations. The ruler of the Sagittarius rising chart is Jupiter who is conjuncting the healing planets of Chiron and Neptune. All three are squaring Mercury in the 6th House of health. Could this indicate the Swine Flu? |
