Blue Taurus Moon – Day 719

Mystic Art Medicine Oracle Cards by Cher Lyn – “Dreamtime”

Blue Taurus Moon

I’m sure most of us are aware that in less than ten hours (10:49 a.m. E.T. on Saturday, October 31, 2020), we will be experiencing a full moon in the sign of Taurus. It’s in Taurus because the sun is in Scorpio – and a full moon occurs when the sun and moon are in opposition, or on opposite sides of the zodiac (opposite each other from the perspective of Earth). And to make this day even more powerful, it’s actually a blue Taurus moon because it is the second full moon occurring within the same month.

I actually wrote about this month’s ‘first’ full moon, which occurred on October 1st (in the sign of Aries, since the sun was in Libra). One of my suggestions in that post was to pay attention to what was unfolding in our lives at the beginning of each week, because numerologically, each week in October can bring a foreshadowing of what we might expect in each of the quarters of the coming year.

To be honest, I didn’t consciously think about what was unfolding at each quarter phase of the moon this month, but I’ve left myself some clues (these posts being at least somewhat of a reference point, as well as my journal entries). I’m hoping all of you are keeping journals too, or are at the very least jotting down on a calendar or something a few memories or reference points to important experiences you’re having throughout these extraordinary times.

I know I’m like a broken record on this subject, but I promise you, your future self will never regret that you left it mnemonic breadcrumbs. Never.

Full Moon and Weekend Focus

I pulled two cards for us in contemplation of the power of this full moon, landing as it is on Halloween, and this being the final weekend before this momentous election on Tuesday.

What should we be focusing upon, I asked Spirit. I consulted the Mystic Art Medicine Oracle Cards by Cher Lyn, which have been such powerful guideposts for us these past several months.

Dreamtime

The top card I chose was Dreamtime.

Dreamtime – “Aboriginal Dream”

Dream into your world with a song

Awaken your Heart’s vibration…

You do belong…

Cosmic Stars shine from above…

The Earth’s held in balance,

The Earth’s held in love.

The Aboriginal sends his sounds

Through the didgeridoo

Into the Earth, me and you…

—Cher Lyn

“Aboriginal people believe the true source of the mind is in the inspirational reality of the Dreamtime. In the painting of “Aboriginal Dream,” the Aborigine’s body is ceremonially decorated. He holds his didgeridoo connecting Earth and sky through vibration. He sends energy into the Earth symbolizing the integration of light into matter. Healing happens through the ancestors’ love all working together with the Goddess of Creation to help bring us back into harmony. The Aboriginal Dreamtime medicine is in the Earth’s heart and spirals, rocks, the oceans, cosmic universe and the sky.

It is important to take notice of your dreams. There lie within hidden messages. (…)

Choosing this medicine cards suggests you follow the Aboriginal into the Dreamtime and explore the otherworldly mysteries unfolding for you. The power to dream is the power to participate in the creation matrix that is only found within you. Hidden messages from ancient times cross over through and into your past, present and future time continuum. Awaken in your Dreamtime wisdom. Create and play in infinite potential.”

Mystic Art Medicine Oracle Cards by Cher Lyn – “Integration”

Integration

The “foundation” card I chose (which is what I call the card that’s on the bottom of the deck when I make a selection) was Integration.

Integration – “Rainbow Blesser”

A command for our souls, all parts to return.

I call in God’s tribes to integrate these sides,

Easily and gently, let peace within reside.

—Cher Lyn

“The image shown is from the upper portion of the painting “Rainbow Blesser.” An Indigenous profile of a man wears his Godhead as a headdress. His vertebra surrounding the spinal cord is aligned with vibrant colors associated with the chakras. His healing hand tattooed with a six-pointed star is integrated with a heart, sending love energies to the Earth’s children. The vision of Rainbow Blesser brings in the birth of the rainbow tribe creating healing, unity, and Integration into One.

The Hopi Indians believe that each of the world’s religions contains a thread and that these threads are always seeking each other. Integrally woven like a rope that will pull us out of this dark world and into the next. We all share an identical need to feel love. No matter what color the skin or how different the dress and how you perceive the behavior, there is no real significant division between others and us. Our basic nature is the same.

Inside each and every one of us, our core is entirely whole and complete. Yet, on the exterior everything is fragmented and appearances can seem strange. (…)

You do not need a new dogma to believe in. Inside at your core, you are perfect. You can always cultivate a stronger sense of compassion and tolerance towards yourself and others. Inspire unity in your consciousness. Each of us carries an aspect, clue, or piece of existence on how Creation works. Individually first, then collectively we come together to bring humanity into wholeness.

My Take

Yet again, we’re being asked to dream our reality into being. This is important for us to do this weekend, particularly at the powerful time of this blue moon.

At the very foundation of what we’re dreaming into being is our knowledge, at our core, that WE are the RAINBOW TRIBE that yearns to bring humanity together.

We can do this.

New Moon and Lyrids – Day 527

New Moon and Lyrids

I know; I’m sorry. I should’ve written a day or two ago about the Lyrids – the meteor shower that is peaking tonight. I’m hoping you may have seen their arrival mentioned on social media. But if you didn’t, and if you’re actually saner than I am and therefore sleeping as I write this, take heart. Even though they’re peaking tonight, there should be a fair number continuing to streak through the sky over the next few days.

And if you happen to be an extremely early bird (you know who you are and I know you’re out there!), it might be worth your while to nip outside in the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday the 22nd to ‘see what you can see.’

The good news is that, since we’re in new moon territory (reaching its fullest darkness at 10:26 p.m. EDT tomorrow), the stars – and any passing meteors – should be brilliantly apparent to our searching eyes.

New Moon in Taurus

Before I even read this thoughtful essay by Chani on tomorrow’s new moon, I was feeling a palpable shift. It’s weird (in a good way) when all of a sudden you just sense a difference in the way things feel. Sort of like a weight has been lifted or a blockage removed. Believe me, I’m hoping those feelings persist.

And while it is true I know only a smattering of astrology, I must admit that the conjunction of tomorrow’s new moon with Uranus (and as I said, in Taurus), makes me feel as though the stars are predicting that new ways of being and living here on Earth are demanding to be ‘unearthed.’

We keep hearing that people want to ‘return to normal.’ And if you’re like me, you see articles and essays and advertisements all over the place demanding us to decide whether we even want to return to normal (whatever that is or was) and perhaps even more importantly if we can return to that so-called normal.

Old Normal

Probably the first thing we need to do, if we’re honest with ourselves, is figure out just what in the world we consider to be ‘normal.’ That’s the ‘old’ normal, which we can figure out by describing (in a journal or wherever you routinely catch random thoughts and wrestle them into submission) how our lives used to play out on a daily basis.

And when we write out the details of our old normal, it’s essential to pay attention to how we feel. How is our body reacting to our description of our old normal? With warm fuzzies of affection? A knot in our stomach? Dread? Sadness? Anticipation?

New Normal

After we’ve described what our lives used to be like, it’s important to describe what we crave, deep down, to truly have return to our lives. (Perhaps, if we’re honest, for the first time.)

Tomorrow, and the next day, are especially powerful days for us to envision what we want to create in our lives and plant the seeds in our consciousness and intention to create that new reality.

If we don’t dream big now, when will we allow ourselves to envision our new normal? When will we ever have another opportunity like we’re being offered right now? Almost everything has come to a screeching halt. We’re seeing the precariousness of so much that we believed was a juggernaut of indescribable power.

Things are changing. It’s up to us to make up our minds that we’re not going to go back to business as usual. It’s a new moon; let’s dream a new world into being.

Uranus Enters Taurus – Day 116

Uranus Entered Taurus Yesterday

I mentioned this astrological event in my post yesterday, along with the new moon that occurred in Pisces, but I didn’t say all that much about it.

The movement of Uranus into Taurus, however, has a lot more long-term significance than the waxing and waning of the moon, since Uranus has an orbit of 84 years. Indeed, the last time Uranus moved into Taurus was 1934.

It Takes Uranus 84 Years to Move Through All 12 Signs of the Zodiac

That means that Uranus takes seven years to move through each individual sign. Thus, for the past seven years, it has been transiting through Aries, which is the first sign of the natural zodiac. So, if you happen to be an Aries, then Uranus has been impacting your 1st house over the past seven years: so you may have experienced opportunities to revolutionize or innovate your concept of yourself, how you present yourself to the world, or sudden changes to how you think about yourself, etc.

In order to help you know which house of the zodiac Uranus is impacting, you need to refer back to those two basic and essential aspects of your chart that I wrote about a while ago: your sun sign, and your rising or “ascendant” sign.

Uranus Brings Change – Often the Sudden and Unpredictable Kind

Uranus is a planet that is often associated with sudden change, innovation, and creative insights. Change is a really huge aspect of Uranus, and whatever house it is traveling through for us is where we will probably see the most intense change or shift in our status quo. For me, I always associate the image of a lightning strike with Uranus.

Of course, it helps if you can figure out which houses in particular of yours Uranus is in when it moves into Taurus. You can find that out by reading your sun sign and your ascendant sign in this excellent article by Chani from May 2018, when Uranus first moved into Taurus.

It just so happens that Uranus actually entered Taurus on May 15th of 2018 and stayed in that sign until this past November. So it’s possible that we may have had a preview of what the next seven years will bring us if we look back on how things unfolded for us in that six month period of May – November of 2018.

Uranus Retrograded Into Aries From November 2018 through 6 March 2019

As Chani actually explains in the article linked just above, in November 2018, Uranus went retrograde and returned to Aries for one last kiss goodbye. This retrograde into Aries lasted from November through yesterday – March 6th, 2019.

Just as a point of interest? Following is an assessment from 2011 of what Uranus moving into Aries might bring. Remember, Uranus moved into Aries in 2011. When I read this, I find the possibilities mentioned, knowing what actually did happen, pretty fascinating.

Now, however, Uranus is in Taurus, for good, until April 2026.

I don’t know about you, but when I contemplate these longer transits, I can’t help but wonder how life will change, both personally and globally, for each of us. It is fascinating to track whether the changes we all inevitably experience in life bear some correlation to the ‘house’ through which Uranus is moving in our chart.

My life certainly was struck by lightning in 2011 – and I’ll never think of myself in quite the same way again. I’m an Aries, so the transit that began in 2011 was in my 1st house. The house of Who I Am.
