“I Seek My Self Through What I
Have”
Symbolized
by the Bull, Taurus is the second sign of the Zodiac. “The Penetrating Light of
the Path,” Taurus seeks to establish a deeper meaning and value in life through
lessons of non-attachment.
Connected
to the principle of Illumination and the Archetype of the Artist, its task is
to cast light upon the physical world with beauty and harmony through form. In
doing so, it raises the energetic vibration of the physical plane freeing
itself from the nature of desire to attachment. Its challenge is not to become
trapped by the very same physical plane from which it seeks to transform.
The
initial stage of Taurus is an instinctive attachment to the material realm.
Motivated by practical outcomes it gives greater significance to literal mind
action than intuitive inspiration. Willfully seeking the desires of earthly
pleasures its pursuits to have more of everything directs “blind will” thus
determining personal value(s) in one’s life.
As
consciousness develops the urge to release the desire to possess is confronted.
The ego struggles to transform to “conscious” life by virtue of the soul.
As Taurus
awakens to a more holistic expression of itself it gives meaning to “the art of
living.” Its creative expression grows into spiritual aspiration where Divine
will becomes focused. Desire gives
way and enslavement becomes liberation from attachment.
The
Archetype of Taurus teaches us to illuminate our lives. Since personal desire
and what we value determine where our energies and will are directed, our need
to “posses” can be illuminated here more clearly. And asking ourselves how we
can supplicate Divine Beauty and Harmony to infuse matter (form) with Spirit to
restore and heal the planet is our work for us here in Taurus.
Transcending
the physical plane is “Harmony through Conflict.”
Beautiful job, Teresa. Most fascinating. How I love it that our roles have reversed after 35 years, and you are now my teacher.
