There are themes I often reference when certain signs begin. Take for example Taurus which started today. Taurus aligns with Spring not just in the transitional sense of the elements, but in the sense of freedom. First we find what I call The Call of the Wild Syndrome - the need for personal freedom when relationships that are dysfunctional, boring, and in general no longer work, end. This can be a short-term relationship in which one or both people realize it's not in their best interests and want someone new or to be alone. Then there's the outdated/outmoded long-term relationship whose issues run deep where at least one of the parties realizes they need to move on. This can be accompanied by children finishing their education which often sets parents free.

Taurus is ruled by Venus - so we want to be in love and feel that emotion as it chemically ignites and catalyzes our journey into awareness.

I have also found that people who suffer from depression disorders will move away from obligations at this time - leaving jobs, relations, and do a lot of "nothing" - often saying they are soul searching. Trips are planned. Interesting also that this theme corresponds with Weed Day. We all know the deal with smoking weed - positive and negative - legal and illegal - as one of many ways to justify self-medication. One good thing about realizing that the program of our reality is breaking down - is facing the truth about mental illnesses and substance-abuse. There is so much information out there - including the obvious look at one's genetic codes. Denial no longer works and people know that.

Taurus is also a time for making decisions as new things enter our lives in April, May and June. This can include job, relocation, romance, creativity, and all the good things that make life more meaningful in our crazy world. This can also bring closure to things we have been waiting for such as the sale of a home and completion of school.

We need the changes that come with the seasons and the zodiac signs. They bring definition and show us the way. They shake us up from an otherwise boring dream reality.
