Today, April 28/29, 2014 (11:14 pm PT, 2:14 am ET) we have a new moon solar eclipse
in the earthy, yin sign of Taurus.
During the New Moon solar eclipse in Taurus, we can expect
TO RECEIVE - and give - the unexpected and it will more than likely have to do with material pleasures, comforts, or adjustments. It is a good time to internalize
the philosophy and practice of Wu-Chi (or tadasana – mountain pose – if you’re
a hatha yogi). This mental and physical posture of potent, expectant, and aware receptivity will
empower you to receive the gifts coming out of nowhere, headed in your
direction, and assist you to not be blown off course.
Whatever pleasures arise and pass away: no good, no bad – It simply Is.
Momentary satisfaction.
Receive, experience, release.

Taurus is a springtime earth sign, the sign of the Bull,
ruled by pleasure-loving Venus. Taurus can be a placid, grass-munching bovine sauntering
across the flower-dappled hillside. And fixed earth sign Taurus can be stubborn
and testing with its “dig-in-your-heels” nature, unmoo-ving like a Himalayan
mountain. One thing's for sure: Taurean energy
is ultra-grounded and celebrates the sensual, material realm of maya, mata, mater,
matter…Earth Mother. Pachamama.
In the days surrounding the New Moon in Taurus, our six senses are
drawn to the physical, embodied realm of our lives: what we have, what we
desire, what makes us happy. This is, of course, an individual preference, this
question of pleasure. For some of us, a fridge full of fresh organic veggies or a home-cooked meal with friends means the
world to us. For others, we won’t feel full-filled until we see our bank
account burgeoning with gold.
Preference. What does Satisfaction mean to you?
Usually with New Moon energy, we’re planting new seeds and
new beginnings. And that is the case here, too; however, the “something new” that
wants to come through now is going to be a bolt from the blue: With a solar
eclipse, we can expect the unexpected. “SURPRISE!” shouts the universe, like a
big party thrown out of nowhere. I had this last night, right around the
eclipse build-up: my housemate had two unexpected visitors come through,
feminist friends she hadn’t seen in years. These two earth women-of-the-land (one with a Taurus Moon, I found out) were
driving their RV from their Mendocino home base to tend to a farm in Ohio, by
way of the Arizona desert. They needed to park their rig outside our house in the hills for the night. I was tired
from a long day, but intuitively I knew that it was best to participate, not
bow out. After all, “The guest is God/dess,” as they teach in the East.Preference. What does Satisfaction mean to you?
Our communal household spontaneously cooked up a big veggie stir fry using a heap of kale,
coriander and chard from our popping garden.
Another earth-mama pal stopped by in the middle of it all: a gypsy female singer-songwriter who played
her latest music video for us, "Older Ladies!" which celebrates the beauty and vitality of women past menopause. (Taurus also rules the throat, and singing.) During dinner prep, we
were surrounded by the animal element, our guests' three huge dogs: a gigantic standard
poodle, a vicious Anatolian shepherd in heat, and our lovable black lab mutt.
While we were enjoying our meal, the three dogs were running circles around the house
having their own fun: playing tug of war with a kangaroo skin provided by my
Aussie boyfriend. After supper: fresh strawberries and mango with vanilla yogurt for
dessert, served alongside Bengal Spice tea. The night was topped off with a few
laughter-filled rounds of gin rummy (with actual hand-held cards, people!) at the kitchen table. Dishes
done and good-nights given, I finally rolled into bed next to my sweetheart, satiated and exhausted
with the juiciness of life. And that’s why your forecast is a wee bit late
today!
There are worldly pleasures you can plan for – a week in
Hawaii, a night out with your friends, a spa massage. And then there are earthy
pleasures that arise out of nowhere. These are often the best: their only
requirement is that we remain open and ready to the goodness that flows our
way, like an impromptu dinner gathering.
RECEIVE EVERYTHING FROM NOTHING
There is a Chi Gung (qigong) practice called Wu-Chi (wuji) that describes this posture of
RECEPTIVE BEING: passive and active at the same time. Wu-Chi is a martial art posture
that ensures you are ready and prepared, but not wasting energy or expending it
until it is time to do so. Wu Chi is a Taoist term that means something akin to
“the emptiness within which fullness flows.” It is the emptiness full of
potency, and is similar to Mountain Pose (tadasana) in yoga practice. Both
postures create a flow of energy from root to crown, up the spine. It starts in
the feet and flows out the top of the head to return and renew, again and
again.
During the New Moon solar eclipse in Taurus, we can expect
TO RECEIVE - and give - the unexpected and it will more than likely have to do with material pleasures, comforts, or adjustments. It is a good time to internalize
the philosophy and practice of Wu-Chi (or tadasana – mountain pose – if you’re

New Moon in Taurus –
solar eclipse

UNIVERSAL CARD (for
everyone):
TEN
OF PENTACLES - ABUNDANCE
Notice how abundant we are in every
way! You may have a full belly, a home, a garden, a dog or cat, a mate or
partner, a vehicle or gilded chariot, meaningful work or an interesting project
– look around! See all that you have.
You want “more,” you say? Wow, well, that’s a tall order. How do you add
fullness to fullness? Everything is already here, at your cosmic fingertips. Remember
that wherever there is a true need, the Universe provides, and so it is. A
masterful person knows this. Now is the time to notice that we have PLENTY and
it’s time to use and distribute what you have. Share, and delight!
ARIES:
PAGE
OF WANDS
So you want to hit the road or climb
a virtual mountain, Ram? Your personal gold now comes to you through being on
the move in some way, on a quest. You need to pursue your next idea now. Go
toward your flashes of brilliance. Get going, as you’re already feeling revved up
and ready to pursue!
TAURUS:
KING OF CUPS
“Sittin’ on the dock of the bay,
watchin’ the clouds roll away… mm-hmm.” That’s you now, Taurus, resting and
enjoying. Maybe you don’t feel motivated to action right now. Or you’re skeptical
as to where to put your time and energy. No worries. Just wait calmly and know
that a voice of authority – either your own or another’s – will soon come
through to advise you as to the best use of your talents. In the meantime: practice wu-chi.
QUEEN OF CUPS
Your nervous system is easily fried,
buzzy Gemini. You’re always on the go, go, go and usually you’re interacting
with a phone, computer, or a person, talking their ear off. You’re getting more
information and your synapses are firing all the time. Great! But now, you need
to decompress a little. You need to sit by, near, or in some body of water,
bath or spa. You need calm. Step away from the adrenaline edge by nursing your frazzled
brain back to health.
CANCER:
PAGE OF SWORDS
Communication is not always a strong
suit for you, Cancer. You get a bit hung up either by your uber-sensitivity,
or you find yourself clobbered by internal criticism. Externally, you
can’t seem to get the Truth of what you want and need out of your mouth. Now is
the time to be gentle with your self and others, remembering that you’re still
learning the art of negotiation and holding difficult discussions, especially when it
comes to meeting your material needs.
LEO:
NINE OF CUPS
Leo, you’re in the catbird seat
right now. Make your big material money idea or goal explicit to the universe and
do a little ceremony of acknowledgement. Write down on a piece of paper exactly
what you wish for, and offer it up to the angels, to a deity, God, or even a
tree. See how within the next nine days your desire is granted. Trust!
FIVE OF PENTACLES
Sometimes, Virgo can be overly
focused on what isn’t right or what needs improving. You may be harping on how
there’s imperfections that are driving you nuts! If this feeling arises of
late, you need to get back to the Source within, the eternal flame that never
disappoints. Make a spiritually rich connection to bolster your heart and mind.
LIBRA:
THE DEVIL
Libra, you can be so concerned about
what others think, and about looking good and having things be smooth as silk.
We love you for that. But the choices that you makes toward that end can be
binding or limiting instead of balancing and healing. Be willing to say no to
external expenditures of time, love, or money that unnecessarily keep you indebted.
SCORPIO:
SEVEN OF PENTACLES
You have access to so much raw life
force power, Serpent Eagle Scorpio, that you rarely feel doubtful of your
capability to have what you need. But for some reason, lately you’ve been
questioning, “Is there enough?” You bet there is! You only need to dig in the
dirt a little deeper. Have confidence. You will unearth buried treasure.
SAGITTARIUS:
SAGITTARIUS:
TWO OF PENTACLES
You are not, by nature, a super
materialistic sign, Sag, yet you know you need enough funds to keep playing and
affording all those great adventures you adore.You will see now that there’s
plenty in them thar coffers if you just tweak your spending and accounts in
slight ways. This spring and summer offer you loads of fun and you can take the
time and money to make that happen. Vacation, anyone?
CAPRICORN:
KNIGHT OF SWORDS
You’re feeling more impulsive and mentally restless than usual, Capricorn, and that’s because you’re meant to get out and about more. Move around your neighborhood, community, and world. Disperse all your pent up practical mind power and exchange new ideas and energy with other people. You’re filled with hot air that needs to be vented.

AQUARIUS:
PAGE OF CUPS
Sweetness ‘n light – that’s the
theme for you now, Water Bearer. Perhaps you’ve recently been through the mill,
or you’ve endured a huge bout of change. Or you’re prepping for a big future
move. Or you’re cleaning up the past. Regardless, it’s been a lot of work and
you’ve been on the front lines of consciousness. Take a load off now, Aquarius,
and nurture the sweet, creative joys of your inner child or artist.
PISCES:
FOUR OF SWORDS
Your mind is in a fragile state.
Have you been in too much busy-ness of late? Take time out. Get a four-day
weekend in. Take a holiday soon. Maybe you can take a four-month sabbatical if
you’re a lucky Fish. You need to rest, big time. Find a way to turn off the
phone and the world for at least four days. Particularly stressed and busy
Fish? Take a four-hour spa treatment. Only rest.
