Date Posted: 10:59:23 05/03/09 Sun In reply to: 's message, "***All About Taurus + Starcast & Astrolesson" on 14:13:09 04/19/09 Sun This Saturn retrograde has tested me in EVERY Area in my life! And I can't wait until it goes back to direct on May 16th! It can't get here fast enough, uuugggghhhh. ~ Autumn >** All about Taurus > >All those rumors about Taureans being stubborn? >They're true. But lest you begin to think that >stubbornness is a bad trait, consider the way people >talk about those who don't stick to what they believe >in: wishy-washy, scattered, distracted. Isn't stubborn >better? Of course, there are other words that suit the >average Taurus quite well and have a nicer ring to >them: focused, grounded and stable, to name just a >few. In other words, if there's an important task to >be accomplished, you'll want a Bull for the job. > >But there's a lot more to that Taurean nature than the >ability to make a decision and keep to it -- innate >sensuality, for example. These folks are the >touchmeisters of the zodiac; so if it smells, tastes, >looks, sounds or feels good, they're there. Just step >into the home of the nearest Taurus for ample proof. >You may not find the Mona Lisa on the living room wall >or a bottle of Dom in the fridge, but you'll come >across something that looks just as elegant and tastes >just as good -- and you're in luck, too, because the >Bull is more than happy to share, as long as the >company is of equal quality. > >When it comes to relationships, in fact, the one thing >a Taurus absolutely insists on is that they have >something to share. They're very big on getting a >return on their investments, no matter what they've >invested or how -- and that goes for time, energy and >resources. If you're involved with a Taurus on a >one-on-one basis, it's not just unbelievably >pleasurable -- it's also a tremendous compliment! With >Venus as its ruler, this sign settles for nothing less >than the best of everything; if a Taurus isn't sure >their partner answers that description on many levels, >they wouldn't waste their time. So if you're a Bull >yourself, those thoughts might go through your mind >every time you and your sweetie get into an argument >that leaves you trying to decide whether or not to >walk out and stay gone. You know that you wouldn't be >with them for this long if they weren't the best -- >just be true to yourself, and your decisions are sure >to be as solid as you are. > >** Your Starcast for April 19 to May 19 > >Take stock of where you are and what you want while >the Sun transits through practical Taurus! You will >get plenty of help with Mars entering its own sign on >April 22 when you'll have all the energy you'll need >to get your plans in motion. Venus joins Mars in bold >Aries on the 24th, so make sure you get out of the >house. If you are single, you just may meet the love >of your life. The new Moon in Taurus on April 24 marks >a new beginning and reminds you to plan sensibly. >Leave the wild and crazy schemes for more stable >times. Pluto's trine to this new Moon shows that >people in powerful positions can be helpful to you. >Keep your eyes open. On April 26, Mars squares Pluto. >Watch for pushy behavior, whether it come from you or >someone else. Stay on your path and sidestep control >freaks. The pace of life picks up as Mercury enters >Gemini on April 30. It seems like everybody has >something to say! Then love planet Venus squares Pluto >on May 3, and the intensity level rises. Don't shy >away from the deeper issues. They are surfacing for >you to clear them out. Any conversations you have been >having over the last couple of weeks are going to get >a return visit now as Mercury turns retrograde on May >6. And although the full Moon in Scorpio on May 8 will >intensify your emotions, use this time to clear the >air. Then stand back and assess how far you've come, >and use the power of this Moon to put finishing >touches on your plans. Retrograde Mercury returns to >determined Taurus on May 13; and then on May 16, the >Sun offers three different points of view as it >squares Jupiter, sextiles Uranus and squares Neptune. >Take the time to separate fact from fiction and you'll >know what to do. As Saturn turns direct on May 16, >you'll be able to create a firm foundation for success. > >April 19: Sun enters Taurus > >Gather your pennies, put your money in a safe place >and analyze how you can improve your security. Whether >you get a job to save for college expenses or make a >sensible plan for retirement, this is the time to take >stock of where you are and what you want. You will get >all the help you need with the Sun's transit through >earthy, practical Taurus. Determination, loyalty and >stubbornness are Taurus characteristics that you can >put to good use now. > >April 22: Mars enters Aries > >As Mars leaves soul-searching Pisces and enters the >fiery sign it rules, you may feel like a ram that has >been let loose on land after swimming around in the >ocean for a while!

Otherwise, you may find >yourself getting argumentative for no good reason. >Although Aries is the sign of the pioneer, both Mars >and Aries are, in mythology, the names for the god of >war. If you stay focused on yourself and what you want >to achieve, you'll go far. > >April 24: Venus enters Aries > >Now direct, the planet of love enters Aries for the >second time this year. When Venus entered this >enthusiastic sign on February 2, it was time for bold >moves. Venus turned retrograde in Aries on March 6 and >returned to Pisces on April 11, finally turning direct >on April 17. Your love-life has seen plenty of twists >and turns over these last couple of months. Now it's >time to start again in the first sign of the zodiac. >This is not a stay-at-home placement.

It is the doing that sparks love -- >so get moving! > >April 24: New Moon in Taurus > >The new Moon in Taurus emphasizes the themes you've >already been focused on since the Sun entered Taurus a >few days ago. This is the sign that rules money and >values, and your material life in general. You are >especially grounded and clear now, which gives you the >ability to plan sensibly. Pluto's trine to this new >Moon shows that people in powerful positions can be >helpful to you. > >This new Moon will most affect those born April 23-27, >July 26-30, October 27-31 and January 24-28. > >April 26: Mars square Pluto > >From 1996 until now, while Pluto was in belief-driven >Sagittarius, when Mars squared Pluto, it was from >sensitive Pisces or hardworking Virgo.

Pay >close attention to any war-like, pushy behavior -- >whether it comes from you or someone else. When >challenged by those who have power, your tendency may >be to lash out. How you handle challenges and >disagreements says a lot about you now. Ask yourself >if you have to have everybody's support to do what you >believe is right for you. > >April 30: Mercury enters Gemini > >Mercury enjoys being in its home-sign Gemini! This is >the premiere communication planet, so expect to hatch >plans, gather information and chat with others to >sound out your ideas. This is a beneficial time to >cast a wide net as you explore different avenues of >thought, engage in interesting conversations and clip >favorite articles from magazines. Remember to bookmark >your favorite sites! > >May 3: Venus square Pluto > >Matters of the heart can get a bit intense at times. >When Venus in gallant Aries bumps into a square with >Pluto, the Transformer, you'll need to figure out what >you can let go of. Maybe you have an idea about what >should happen, or perhaps you are pursuing a >relationship that isn't a good fit. Whether it's your >best friend or the love of your life, from time to >time we need to descend into the deeper, messier >realms to test the authenticity and staying power of >our most important relationships. Power games may >surface; attempts to control will backfire. Cool your >jets, be thoughtful and regroup to make the most of >this transit. > >May 6: Mercury turns retrograde > >It's time for a thorough review as Mercury turns >retrograde in its own sign, Gemini. All of the normal >rules apply: don't sign contracts; do not buy products >that are communication-related, such as phones, mp3 >players, and computers. The same goes for anything >travel-related, such as cars and plane tickets. That >said -- life doesn't always cooperate with Mercury >retrograde periods! So if you must sign a contract, >build in escape clauses; safeguard the receipts for >products bought and double-check reservations. Most >importantly, go back to conversations and ideas that >you did not fully explore. > >May 8: Full Moon in Scorpio > >Full Moons are known for being a time of heightened >emotion, and when in a sign as passionate as Scorpio, >you're likely to feel strongly about everything! The >new Moon in Taurus last month on April 24 prompted you >to get a financial plan together and to build more >material security into your life. Now, at this time of >culmination with the Sun and Moon in opposition, you >have a chance to stand back and assess how far you've >come. Use the power of this Moon to put finishing >touches on your plans. This full Moon will most affect >those born May 7-11, August 9-13, November 9-13 and >February 5-9. > >May 13: Mercury enters Taurus > >In Gemini, Mercury has a million ideas. In Taurus, >practicality reigns and your thought process turns >sensible. Certainly, nothing needs to be decided right >now with Mercury retrograde, so take your time and be >deliberate and patient as you mull over your options. >Figure out what will realistically work and what >won't. Let that be your guide as you ride out the rest >of this retrograde period that lasts until May 30. > >May 16: Sun squares Jupiter; Sun sextiles Uranus; Sun >squares Neptune > >This much input on one day keeps life interesting! >First, the Sun in earthy Taurus in a square to Jupiter >in Aquarius, an air sign, challenges you to be >practical while also taking into account the social >environment and the needs of others. But, with the Sun >also squaring Neptune today (Neptune and Jupiter are >close enough to conjunct later this month), figuring >out what you want may feel confusing now. See if you >can find a quiet place to relax and carefully think >things through. Keep in mind though, opportunities to >make creative changes that enhance your life are >indicated by the Sun's sextile to Uranus. It's time >for a change! > >May 16: Saturn turns direct > >Are you feeling a sense of anticipation? Saturn's >change in direction after a long retrograde lowers >barriers and opens the door to forward movement. In >Virgo, all of your plans to get organized and embark >upon a sensible health and fitness plan get the green >light. It will be easier now to create a firm >foundation for success.

Check your own chart for more >information about how this important transit is >affecting you. > >Enjoy the Sun's transit in Taurus! > >** Astrolesson: Retrograde Saturn > >Since Saturn turns direct during this Taurus solar >period, let's review what it means when this 'builder' >planet is retrograde for several months each year. >This current period began when Saturn turned >retrograde on the last day of last year: December 31. >Saturn turns direct on May 16 of this year. > >Think of Saturn as a schoolteacher.

Facing limitations, those of the world and >your own capacity to limit yourself, is a signature of >Saturn. Saturn always represents our responsibilities, >our rules-for-living, how we construct our lives, and >where we need to put our boundaries. > >If you think of a retrograde Saturn as reviewing >whether or not you've been structuring your life in a >healthy way, you'll do just fine during this time. >Listen to this master builder and the construction >team, who are your current teachers. Don't take any >short cuts! Don't rush anything. Instead, take your >time to build slowly and thoroughly and you will reap >plenty of rewards down the road.
