It’s time for some
riddles.
#1, Pretend our
minds our mushrooms. Our perceptions, then, are mycelia, extending through the
world around us, the conversations we engage in, and all the other information
we take in. Our memories and dreams are also mycelia, and thus our mushroom
minds span through various layers of time - past, present and future - as well
as various layers of reality - material, emotional, mental and creative. Like
mycelia in the forest, our mental mycelia simultaneously digest and weave a web
throughout their environment. The questions, then, are where does the fruiting
body - that thing we visualize when we think of the word “mushroom” - show up,
and what form does it take?
#2, Can your mind
travel over, under, around and/or through matter?
#3, Does matter have
a mind of its own?
This month, the
impalpable mind collides with the material plane. Keep your ears open, and you
just might hear the din of that impact. Below, you’ll find clues to help you
unravel these riddles.

Sun in Taurus: 4/20/15 -
5/21/15
The operative word
during the solar month of Taurus is “matter” in all senses of the word. Taurus
is firmly rooted in the substance of reality, enthralled with what can be
perceived through the physical senses, and utterly devoted to relating to
everyone and everything it perceives. That covers the physical matter aspect,
but then there’s the question of...
What matters to you?
What do you love to
do, eat, read, listen to, and smell?
Where do you love to
be, and how do you like to get there?
Whom do you love to
be with?
Do you love
yourself?
Do you believe you
matter?
The sun’s yearly
transit through Taurus also marks the height of spring, when the natural world
is in full bloom. It’s a great time to remind yourself you are a part of
nature, which brings forth the obvious questions of...
What part of you is
blossoming right now?
What parts of your
life - work, relationships, projects, etc - are blossoming right now.
The flowers of
spring are followed by the fruits of autumn, unless, of course, you nip
something in the bud. Fertilize and prune as you see fit.
Full Scorpio Moon: 5/3/15
The moon culminates
in eagle-eyed Scorpio, opposing the Sun in Taurus, and thus offering a deeper
perspective on what truly matters. Jupiter squares both of the luminaries from
Leo, creating a tense, fixed T-square in the heavens.
What blossoms bring
you the most joy?
What blossoms bring
you the most attention, praise, and abundance?
What is your
relationship with those various blossoms?
What blossoms need
to be cut from your rose bush so the others can thrive?
Also on the day of
the full moon, Mercury (mind) opposes Saturn (matter), and is about to enter
the fore-shadow of his retrograde. It’s time to take your...
pre-Mercury retrograde
precautions:
Get your cars and
bikes tuned up.
Back up your phones
and computers.
Finalize travel
plans.
Take note of any
issues that start brewing in your communications and perceptions.
And above all, get
ready to be flexible.
Mercury Retrograde:
5/18/15 - 6/11/15
About 20 hours after
the new Taurus moon, Mercury stations retrograde in his home sign of Gemini.
New moons impart an internal focus, and Taurus is a sign that appreciates
slowness and stillness, all of which mingle well with the apparent pause of the
solar system’s speediest planet. The more you can let go of your familiar
perspectives in the three and a half weeks of this retrograde, and open your
mind to allow space for new perspectives, the smoother things will go for you.
What do you
perceive?
How does that shape
what you believe?
How does what you
believe shape what you perceive?
How does this create
a closed loop of belief and perception?
What happens if you
allow yourself to notice things you don’t normally notice?
In the words of cosmologist, Carl Sagan, “Somewhere, there is
something incredible waiting to be known." What is that
something for you? Can you find it? Open your ears. Open your eyes. Open your
heart. Open your mind.
Coming Soon:
Next month’s report
on the solar month of Gemini will offer insights into Saturn’s re-entry into
Scorpio and other surprises. Feel free to like and repost this report as you see fit. Until next
time, wishing you a heart-ful month. Thanks for reading,
