FULL MOON IN TAURUS , THURSDAY NOVEMBER 6, 2014

Is it me or is time moving faster? Seems like I wrote a Full Moon message not too long ago. Well here we are again Beloveds, another Full Moon, this time in Taurus, the fixed earth sign that says "I have".  My sleep pattern changes every time there's a Full or New Moon.  I also notice tension in my body upon waking and that people seem to be driving faster or not paying attention when they're at the wheel.  Yesterday even my grandchild made a remark when someone swerved in front of the car "what's the matter with her?" was her question. I resorted back to the fun thing I used to do with my children when driving in New York and some rude person would blow the horn at us..."oh she's in a hurry, maybe she has to pee!"  That crazy remark would break the tension and bring a comedic element to the equation.  But this time the 6 year old who is sometimes older and wiser than her years answered "well she better be careful cause the way she's driving she's not gonna make it to the bathroom!"  

CASE IN POINT

So I'm taking the advice from the little one.Even though the Full Moon is two days away, I'm going to slow down and remember that others might be driving chaotically because they don't know it's Full Moon time. I'm going to be like the Bull, the symbol for Taurus, and slowly but deliberately stay on point. There's no reason to speed or rush around. I'm going to take my time and do what's necessary to complete my goals.  

FULL MOON IN TAURUS

The signs that will be feeling the Taurus energy more personally, are Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, the other fixed (sometimes stubborn) signs.   Thankfully, we're in the 2nd day of the 21 day meditation cycle presented by Oprah and Deepak Chopra. I always participate because the daily reminders that come with these free meditations help to center me and keep me focused on spiritual truths.  Taurus is the money sign and it rules the 2nd House of personal resources and money in the astrological chart.  Yesterday I noticed people in the supermarket looking sad as they shopped. Some had lists, others were leafing through coupons trying to get the best price for the things they needed.  My mind went to the affirmation that is always shared at Agape Spiritual Center.  I could hear Rev. Beckwith saying "repeat after me...all my needs are met." Thank you Rev. Michael. This affirmation helped me to switch from feeling sorry or depressed when I thought about the money in my wallet. Yes all our needs are met, one way or another and we need to be grateful for what we have.  Then we ran into a friend from the neighborhood who also has a 6 year old child.  She invited us for pizza and of course my 6 year old wanted to go.  She's friends with the other 6 year old and both  children were jumping for joy at the thought of spending time together.  All my needs are met. I stopped mentally counting up the dollars in my wallet and said "yes".  While we were waiting for our pizza, the 6 year olds used their imaginations to creatively play inside the booths, first hide and seek, then they played "waiter" taking turns and pretending to take orders. My friend remarked "children will always find a way to play". and yes, we're taught that we should be more like them.  They laughed, giggled and enjoyed themselves. They intuitively know that "all their needs are met".  I used to be cynical about the fact that children seem to always want to play, laugh and giggle. "oh they don't have any bills or big people worries". But in fact we do have to lighten up and sometimes remember "all my needs are met".  Children are in the moment, spontaneous and free, not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow...just free.

If we know spiritual truth, we have that option too.  Staying in the present moment is not easy, but it's doable, with practice. 

TAURUS GOOD/TAURUS BAD

As you know there are two sides to every sign and we get the choice as to which side we're going to exhibit. Good Taurus traits are that they are steadfast, hardworking, divinely creative, trustworthy and dependable.  The other side can be opinionated, stubborn, judgmental, and attached to material things. The choice is yours and  as my teacher would add, "but choice there must be." 

MAKING IT THROUGH

With the  increased build up of Moon in Taurus energy, you can make it through if you just stay on point. Don't allow someone else's emotions, trigger you.  You can choose to be the calm in the midst of the storm.  Today is election day. I'm going to vote in spite of the things I know about politicians/politics. Instead of joining the ranks of the "inactive-activists" who whine and complain about the "system", I'm going to exercise my right to vote while I still have the right (smile).  Love You All, Ayesha
