Hindsight Conversation: Major Aspects for the Taurus New Moon

Of the four fixed signs, Taurus the Bull is considered the sign most connected to $ and his ruling planet Venus is not only linked to pleasure of the senses but to currency. Few would argue that the sign Taurus at times the most materialistic, possesive, decadent and the most prone to being attached to ownership. On thursday May 27th we began a new moon in Taurus where the lunation and the subsequent solar transits create a powerful venue for this sometimes lazy and often times productive stubborn attitude.
Thursday's lunation gifted us with combo of Major Aspects some Positive and Others Difficult and another not so often seen.
tight Yod - with the fingers of destiny pointing at the Apex an Ascendant @ 17*Virgo with Mercury @ 16* Aries and Neptune@ 19* Aquarius - the media colors communications around active fantasy with discrimation (represented by Virgo) offering the way to truth.
(2)Three TSQ to raise the planetary challenges to an even higher dimension:
Jupiter opp Chiron TSQ Sun and Moon (challenge to accept and integrate the expanding wounds of the previously invisible immegrant community)
Uranus opp ASC TSQ MC (15*Gemini) The high price we are all paying for oil to have a career.
Chiron opp Saturn TSQ Sun and Moon Here the challenge of the disenfranchised and oppressed human community to have all the advantages of everyone else.
A Grand Trine is always the hallmark of creative energy in action.
Our Grand Water Trine is no exception with Mars in Cancer applying toward closest point of the trine with Jupiter in Scorpio and Uranus in Pisces on May 7th
Water Grand Trines seem to be the most intense, sensitive, feeling and if not caught in the depths of hysteria and emotionalism can help heal and nurture.
The thing about Grand Trines is that they are easy and flow toward our comfort zones - yes we can be creative in a sort of uncconcious manner not really grabbing our full mantle of destiny and making that extra effort to move forward.
The Kite Formation Disregard the planets represented in this template.


Well along comes a Taurus Sun/Moon to add to that Grand Trine and create a Kite Formation. In this our lunation becomes the 4th planet or point in Opposition (180 degrees) Jupiter one of the triangle points and forms Sextile aspects (60 degrees) to Mars and Uranus (which can open the door to acts of courage and foolish accidents). This formation looks visually like a kite (hence its name). The stress of the Opposition aspect may increase the likelihood of the Grand Trine being utilized (not just taken for granted). Ain't that a kick, all that leisurely slow, scented candle sensuous Taurus energy is just enough to get the big Huelga, Strike, No Shop Day or whatever it is being called grounded into physicallity. Or could we also be seeing the duality of major defensiveness and stress about the Grand Water Trine energy?
On May 1st with Moon in tribal, sensitive Cancer, the $ machine called commerce and consumerism will have a pause just as the last new moon in Aries pushed everything to the forefront this lunation in Taurus will create a pause, a stop, taking some time out to smell the roses.
