April 19, 2024 ~ Sun moved into Taurus
Taurus is a sign of self-interest (Fixed). Self-interest as in creating a strong personal will. Taurus is the initiator into the joys of sensual pleasure and intimacy. Taurus explores intimacy as an art form and brings spirit into matter for pure enjoyment. Taurus explores healthy receivership, intimacy and pleasure for its own sake and goes into the moment to extend that moment for as long as possible.
April 20, 2024 ~ Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction 21Taurus49
Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, symbolizes expansion, possibilities, and aligning with our purpose.
Jupiter activates, amplifies and expands what it touches, usually through Optimism, Faith, Renewal and Good Fortune.
Jupiter represents our fastest path to attaining our current life goal.
Uranus brings themes of unplanned and unexpected events of extreme novelty. Uranus brings greater dynamic energy and acts as a catalyzer. He also widens one’s perspective. He is eccentric and unconventional, and serves to break apart limits and barriers to bring dramatic change. He brings uncontrollable events taking us a new direction.
We can imagine this transit has the potential to be the change agent in restoring the sacredness of sexuality, the feminine body, and honoring the sanctity of the feminine principle, and the Earth Mother herself.
April 23, 2024 ~ Scorpio Full Moon
Exact 7:49 p.m. EST, 4Scorpio18 Full Moon opposes Sun 4Taurus18
Scorpio is the Sorceress, Mistress of Magic and Enchantress that brings knowing though feeling, and the complete experience and command of generating and embracing life force energy. She releases what feels dead, creates magic, and has the courage to go beyond known edges to explore aliveness. She goes for passion, intensity and ecstatic bliss for its own sake. She is a catalyst. She dives deep, honoring all of her feelings, from agony to ecstasy. Scorpio reveals where we are shedding an old skin in order to grow, and how light, love, and truth always dispel the darkness.
The 1983 novel “The Mists of Avalon” by Marion Zimmer Bradley is a grand narrative encompassing themes of love, loyalty, betrayal, kingship, and magic. This monumental retelling delves into the mystical saga of the women intertwined with King Arthur’s legacy. The story delves deep into the poignant clash between Christianity and the ancient Goddess religion.
I envision Viviane – known as the Lady of the Lake – embodying the role of the Scorpion Goddess. She is the Enchantress and the Mistress of Magic, having served as the High Priestess of the Goddess on the mythical Island of Avalon. Viviane utilized her magic to safeguard the future of Avalon and protect the Great Goddess from being overpowered by Christianity and Patriarchy.
