Beauty and the Being: The Gate of Taurus

Gates: 3 - 27 - 24 - 2 - 23 - 8
Emerging from the fire of Aries like a phoenix from the ashes, Taurus season roots us into our individual sensibilities. Roots take hold and grow deeper into the loam of our lives, fed by embodied soul. Fed by what is known and unknown and the relationships arriving from the void of creation. Aries was a choice, whether consciously or not, we are human if not because we choose our humanity with every breath we take.
EVERY decision we make in our lives either upturns and replenishes from what has gone before or depletes and disorients us from our sense of selves. Every decision matters, deeply. What we think, who we spend our time with, what we put into our bodies. All of this creates and entangles with what we are made of. When we are not deeply attuned to the individual nature of our existence, we slowly forget and disconnect from the intelligence of choice.
Taurus season reminds us that WE HAVE CHOICE. Endless choice. All the choices. Choice emerges from the relationship we have to our individuality. From being deeply, delicately connected to what we came here to make love with/to/from. Love experienced as the magnetism of opposing/complimentary forces that weaves reality together. A glistening web of interconnected jewels, Indra’s net. Our choices create this net. Artfully, creatively, stylistically expressing a core essence of the love we came from and emerge into.
The first 2 gates of Taurus begin in the Sacral center, attuning us to the pulse of life force, gauging the energetic stores that keep us anchored in the ecosystems that accentuate our evolution into divine will, individuated consciousness. 3 is a format energy that creates and pulses life force up and through difficulty to create from the dark below. We cannot be a singular self without fully acknowledging our connected roots. Creation taking root, tender beginnings and the life force needed to nurture innocence.
Gate 24 in the Ajna is an individual awareness where mental aptitude is clarified into inventive synthesis. Where the regenerative life force of the Sacral fortifies the human capacity to design reality. Where perceptual participation is internally contrived by a sense of embodied connection with creation itself. This awareness precedes the receptive orientation back to Gate 2’s influence of magnetic forces that bring us into contact with that which consecrates our lives into what we are becoming. An altar that directs the emanation of our Cosmic Synthesis into beingness with the world.
We prepare for Gemini’s journey through the manifesting potentiality of the Throat center at the tail end of our Taurus season, where alignment meets expression. Where beauty meets Being. Where clarity turns creation. The Throat manipulates and moves reality. We are happening to life while life is happening to us. In a constant co-creation driven by the essence of love that emanates from within. Gate 8 is the individual expression of Style that expresses and designs reality from speaking life into becoming. This expression emerges forth through us. A natural response to what has been nurtured in our expressions.
Taurus season reconnects us to the inner sanctuary of essentialism, shining light within our most delicate inner worlds. The most vulnerable pieces of who we are. The Taurus of our Heavenly Bodies informs the roots that we sink into. The structures that hold us, the orientation with which the mirror of reality refracts the prism of our soul. The structure thus becomes strategy. Strategy to imbibe and conjure spirit into form, to take root and quench the thirst of art and love and life bursting through us. Grounding us in the essence to express what is arriving. It’s fixed and it’s always been there. Pieces of us specific and differentiated. Taurus knows how to engage with the living world in a way that loudly exclaims with its trinkets and arts “THIS IS WHAT MY SOUL LOOKS LIKE, SEE IT HERE?!?!”
Our strategy therefore becomes something different, something deeper and rooted. Our strategy is a constellation. It is nuanced, and has become a structure that can only consist of what we are. An incantation of the spirit that seeks to be seen and recognized in embodied glory. Our strategy is emergent, a natural consequence of signaling to the living world what we are made of. When we align to this inner sanctuary, decisions, circumstances and relationships become a natural consequences to what has been tended and rooted into.

It has been my experience that the corresponding body systems become activated by the transiting seasons accompanying these Gates. Pay attention to what is coming up in your body as these Gates transition through the season to its corresponding physical attribute.

This month in The Observatory we will be expanding our ideas and understandings about “Strategy” and reviewing how the emergence of the individuality structures our reality (aka the decisions we make, the way we engage the world).
