Venus in Taurus from May 28th to June 23rd


2014 Astro-Note:  Venus chillaxes briefly in Taurus, a sign the love planet rules, from May 28th to June 23rd.  In manic times like these, follow Venus' desires to what feels simply good.  Invest in what will sustain you and your loved ones, and even grow.  Take pleasure in nature's delights, and stack up memories that engage all the senses.  
Slowing Down
The love rhythm is laid-back, as Taurus is renown as a sign that takes its sweet time.  If you're in a new love or friendship, Taurus (Venus) is the inspiration for settling into "something more."  
In the exhaust fumes of Venus' propulsive time in Aries, comes the immovable feast of Taurus.  Now it's time to root in, and savor the sensual moment.  The pleasure is sharing the luscious fruits of the season.
Earth sign Taurus is a lover of the physical 3D experience -- the world of the five senses.  And Venus is to do with desire, what makes life worth living.  If you're running a deficit in (simply) good times, watch for clues and make the most of whole-self indulgences.  If you've been up in your head, vow to sneak off to a spot wild with nature, feast on beauty or revive your inner epicurean. 
Flourishing
Amore of the Taurus variety flows best when in sync with natural laws.  It's hard to move a Taurus (Venus) native, if there's no interest.  That spirit trickles into the waters of relationship and creative endeavor, too.  What comes naturally to you?  Has this changed?  Find your organic groove!
Taurus (Venus) has instincts for what will grow, and we can pick those up in the atmosphere.  What will nourish you as an artist, as a friend, a lover? 
The short flash-surges of Aries undergo a sea change in the constant fixed sign nature of Taurus.  The garden has been seeded.  Watch now what blooms and what is crying out for some tender loving care. 
Venus is the muse for all things that issue forth from your creative wellspring.  When Venus is in Taurus, take your wild idea to the hands-on making stage.  Dig into the process, and flesh it out. 
Taurus is tactile and has a patience for craft.  This makes Venus Taurus time one for taking pleasure in the process, not just the end result.  Discover and acquire skills in a new medium or field.   Venus as builder (Taurus) bestows the gift of knowing what works and what's enduring. 
Sur-Thrival
Venus is symbolically linked to the energy flow of livelihood.  So think on this time as one for inviting abundance from many angles.  The printed paper is just one kind of currency, with bartering being a growing way to exchange on a person-to-person basis.  
A wise investment under this Venus-sky is into things that continue to go forth and multiply.  An example is heirloom seeds for a garden patch, or mushroom spores that become culinary embellishments.  When making purchases, the Venus Taurus eye is on quality.  You might, for example, find sturdier materials in the thrift shop, than on the retail rack.  With the patience of the Bull to spot high-quality bargains, frugal living syncs up with living abundantly.
There's pleasure in cultivating an eye for what has value, in a consignment shop or antique mall.  It takes patience and a sense of materials.  These traits of valuating are in effect, and become a guide to what's worth investing in. 
  Venus Taurus Happenings
  • Relax into your aesthetic -- seek new music, put up alluring images, sneak into a matinee. 
  • Experiment in the kitchen.  Drop a new spice into your dishes, like the "Golden Goddess" turmeric.
  • Take your passion, and fall in love with the craft that goes with it.
  • Indulge your senses with aromatic wafts, smells of nature, oils and lotions.
  • Eat what's in season, rediscover an old favorite with its memory-triggering taste, smell and texture.
  • Redecorate or rearrange your space with comfort, artful-appeal in mind.

Abundance for everyone! I like the fact that Venus is so complex; most people only think of love and sex when they hear "Venus" but this planet is also about growth, abundance, and so much more.

I think I would like rearranging the life, not just a room or two at home.

Ceres and Our Inner Emotional Life

Ceres connections in synastry can reveal how one person accepts (or doesn’t) their partner’s nurturing. “Nurturing” is defined as caring for someone, and fostering their growth. Ceres (or Demeter) is named after the Goddess of the crops. She had a daughter (Persephone) and they were close. So close, in fact, that Ceres never wanted to let her go. Then Pluto (or Hades) kidnapped Persephone and dragged her off to the Underworld. Ceres’ grief was intense. In retaliation, she denied mankind their food by making the crops wither and die; she was hurting, so everyone else would as well. A deal was eventually struck with Pluto, and Persephone was allowed to spend part of the year above ground, with her mother. This was when Ceres allowed the crops to grow. When Persephone spent the rest of the year below ground, the crops were dormant. So Ceres’ cycle of growth and loss reflects the cycle of life. In your chart, her sickle-shaped glyph describes how you handle that cycle.Aspects to Cer

When You Should Get Your Birth Chart Done

Have you ever gotten your 'chart done'? In the field of astrology, a 'chart' is a representation that demonstrates the position of the planets, Sun and moon at a particular moment in time. The position of each planet, its movement and relationship with other celestial bodies can give an astrologer insight as to the influences in play at that particular time. There are 5 times in life when you should consider having a chart drawn up. When You Discover Astrology Once you discover the field of astrology, it’s a worthwhile investment to get a natal chart done. Everyone’s chart is unique because a full chart deals with not just your birth date, but the specific minute and location of your birth. Some people try to draw up their own natal charts using a website or book—and while this might give you an accurate plotting of the chart, only someone trained and experienced in astrology can truly interpret it. There is more to interpreting a chart than just reading a l

Essential Oils That are Harmful to Dogs.

On a Saturday night, a dog owner arrived home late and noticed that their dog was acting strange and did not recognize them. The owner initially thought that the dog was experiencing a night terror, but the odd behavior continued into Sunday. Upon realizing that a new diffuser had been running in the home, the owner turned it off, and the dog's condition improved on Sunday afternoon. However, the next day, the dog sitter reported that the animal was hiding under the bed and acting abnormally. The owner left work early to check on the dog and discovered that it was still disoriented and confused. The owner decided to take the dog to the emergency vet, where it was discovered that the tea tree oil used in the diffuser was toxic for dogs. Fortunately, the dog's liver was not damaged, but the animal required fluids to remove the toxins from its system. The vet and poison control specialists advised that they have seen an increase in similar cases as the use of essential oils grows
