Honoring
Taurus
The 2000 Taurus Alignment - What
do you value most in your life?
According to astrologer Richard Idemon, the ancient Greeks had a
saying that when passing by the temple of a god, you must honor the
god by quickly making the appropriate sacrifice at the appropriate
time. One should never offend the gods by ignoring them.
In the case of the Zodiacal sign of Taurus ruled by Venus, what
is the appropriate sacrifice required? How do we as individuals and
collectively as a society begin to properly acknowledge and honor
the unknown visitor of Taurus?
Taurus
Archetypically, Taurus ruled by Venus is a concrete world of reality
and sensory perception - with roots solidly built on earthy, physical
sensations and practicality. One of the many ancient images evoked
by the sign of Taurus is the paradisal Garden of Eden. Paradise
from the Greek paradeisos - means the garden, enclosed park, paradise.
Taurus feels the most solid, stable, and comfortable when surrounded
with its pleasurable world of the five senses...
Taurus
is the archetypal Zodiacal sign reflecting physical pleasures and
comfort,
the joys and beauty of unspoiled virgin nature, staying power,
the elemental forces of gravity, Mother Earth, values, meaning
in life, and our possessions...
The Hard Question
Individually and collectively, during the next twenty years, Taurus
ruled by Venus will be asking us the hard question, "What
do you value most in your life?" Whether on a societal or
individual level - honoring the Taurean energies contained in this
great planetary alignment will involve:
* the offering up of our values
* the reevaluation of our values
* and then the fortitude and slow, steady, staying power required to stand
solidly behind what we have chosen to value.
How will you choose to greet this planetary alignment in Taurus?
Will you choose to keep your door open or will you turn the unknown
visitor away? Called or not called, the god will be there...
