Being a Taurus born on May 3rd…

 Astrological symbol: Bull. The sign of the Bull represents people born April 20 – May 20, when the Sun is placed in Taurus. It suggests a willful individual with meaningful strength and stamina.

 The Taurus Constellation is one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac, covering visible latitudes between +90° and -65°. It lies between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East on an area of 797 square degrees. The brightest star is called Aldebaran.

 The Bull is named in Latin as Taurus, in Spanish as Tauro while the French name it Taureau.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. This sign as the opposite or complementary of Taurus reveals seriousness and diligence and shows how these two sun signs have similar goals in life but they reach to them differently.

 Modality: Fixed. Suggests how much resolution and change exists in the lives of those born on May 3 and how loyal they are in general.

 Ruling house: The second house. This house rules over all material and non material possessions that are important for an individual and seems to influence Taurians in being so attached and indulging.

 Ruling body: Venus. This planet reflects affection and emotions. It also suggests the friendliness component. The Venus glyph is the upright symbol of Mars, opposing its masculine energy.

 Element: Earth. This element models things with water and fire and incorporates air. Earth signs born on May 3 are dignified, confident and polite intellectuals.

 Lucky day: Friday. Ruled by Venus this day symbolizes beauty and unification and seems to have the same awaited flow as the lives of Taurus individuals.

 Lucky numbers: 2, 5, 11, 16, 21.

 Motto: “I own!”

 People born on May 3 appreciate the preciousness in everything that is around them from people to material things and crave for stability in most settings. They are quick to use their stubbornness to achieve their goals but they dislike heated situations so they are very tactful when they really want to stay out of conflict. They love to spend time in nature, this being one of the places where they can disconnect and relax. They are in a nutshell persevering temperaments, often more patient than tough.

 Positive Traits: These natives are aspiring and unfailing but also don’t overlook the need to be caring with those dearest to them. They are honorable in most regards and can rapidly empathize with those who catch their scrutiny. Those born under this sign seem to have an attentive vision of life but they are also unhesitating to achieve their objectives, of course once they are fully decided which these are.

 Negative Traits: These natives can have quite a narrow vision of things sometimes and their stubbornness gets the best of them. This can in turn lead to feeling frustrated and irritable but also to being all lazy because of lack of motivation. They are avoidant at times and prefer to run from problems until they are certain they can’t run anymore. They need to learn to accept criticism and temper their reactions in such situations.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on May 3 are sensual and passionate. These natives seem to prefer to enter a serious relationship than date around and are happier committed to one person with whom they can share everything.

You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you maintain your individuality and a degree of independence while you keep all your eyes on them but also offer them space. When they are single they don’t seem to mind solitude as they find it easier to delight on the pleasures of life on their own without having to worry about making their partner feel loved and protected.

 They are likely to surprise everyone around them with the passionate love they are capable of if they come across someone that will truly awake their interest. Otherwise they are aware of their attractiveness and this leads them to a tumultuous love life. A creative person and a freedom lover, once decided to settle will invest all their attention in their family and they will probably have brilliant children. Some struggle, trial and error will govern parts of their love life but in the end everything will be worth it. They are most compatible with those born on the 6th, 9th, 15th, 18th, 24th and 27th. May 3 Zodiac people are very attached to the other two earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Taurus is in a constant search for someone attractive and mysterious that can keep their interest alive and the one to offer them this is the native in Scorpio. The lover in Taurus is thought to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

(One Person’s View Point) Fertility Deities of Beltane

Fertility Deities of Beltane

Beltane is a time of great fertility — for the earth itself, for animals, and of course for people as well. This season has been celebrated by cultures going back thousands of years, in a variety of ways, but nearly all shared the fertility aspect. Typically, this is a Sabbat to celebrate gods of the hunt or of the forest, and goddesses of passion and motherhood, as well as agricultural deities. Here are a list of gods and goddesses that can be honored as part of your tradition’s Beltane rituals.

Artemis (Greek): The moon goddess Artemis was associated with the hunt and was seen as a goddess of forests and hillsides. This pastoral connection made her a part of spring celebrations in later periods.

Bes (Egyptian): Worshiped in later dynasties, Bes was a household protection god, and watched over mothers and young children. He and his wife, Beset, were paired up in rituals to cure problems with infertility.

Bacchus (Roman): Considered the equivalent of Greek god Dionysus, Bacchus was the party god — grapes, wine, and general debauchery were his domain. In March each year, Roman women could attend secret ceremonies called the bacchanalia, and he is associated with sexual free-for-alls and fertility.

Cernunnos (Celtic): Cernunnos is a horned god found in Celtic mythology. He is connected with male animals, particularly the stag in rut, and this has led him to be associated with fertility and vegetation. Depictions of Cernunnos are found in many parts of the British Isles and western Europe. He is often portrayed with a beard and wild, shaggy hair — he is, after all, the lord of the forest.

Flora (Roman): This goddess of spring and flowers had her own festival, Floralia, which was celebrated every year between April 28 to May 3. Romans dressed in bright robes and floral wreaths, and attended theater performances and outdoor shows. Offerings of milk and honey were made to the goddess.

Hera (Greek): This goddess of marriage was the equivalent of the Roman Juno, and took it upon herself to bestow good tidings to new brides. A maiden about to marry could make offerings to Hera, in the hopes that she would bless the marriage with fertility. In her earliest forms, she appears to have been a nature goddess, who presides over wildlife and nurses the young animals which she holds in her arms.

Kokopelli (Hopi): This flute-playing, dancing spring god carries unborn children upon his own back, and then passes them out to fertile women. In the Hopi culture, he is part of rites that relate to marriage and childbearing, as well as the reproductive abilities of animals. Often portrayed with rams and stags, symbolic of his fertility, Kokopelli occasionally is seen with his consort, Kokopelmana.

Pan (Greek): This agricultural god watched over shepherds and their flocks. He was a rustic sort of god, spending lots of time roaming the woods and pastures, hunting and playing music on his flute. Pan is typically portrayed as having the hindquarters and horns of a goat, similar to a faun. Because of his connection to fields and the forest, he is often honored as a spring fertility god.

Priapus (Greek): This fairly minor rural god has one giant claim to fame — his permanently erect and enormous phallus. The son of Aphrodite by Dionysus (or possibly Zeus, depending on the source), Priapus was mostly worshiped in homes rather than in an organized cult. Despite his constant lust, most stories portray him as sexually frustrated, or even impotent. However, in agricultural areas he was still regarded as a god of fertility, and at one point he was considered a protective god, who threatened sexual violence against anyone — male or female — who transgressed the boundaries he guarded.

Sheela-na-Gig (Celtic): Although the Sheela-na-Gig is technically the name applied to the carvings of women with exaggerated vulvae that have been found in Ireland and England, there’s a theory that the carvings are representative of a lost pre-Christian goddess. Typically, the Sheela-na-Gig adorns buildings in areas of Ireland that were part of the Anglo-Norman conquests in the 12th century. She is shown as a homely woman with a giant yoni, which is spread wide to accept the seed of the male. Folkloric evidence indicates that the figures are theory that the figures were part of a fertility rite, similar to “birthing stones”, which were used to bring on conception.

Xochiquetzal (Aztec): This fertility goddess was associated with spring, and represented not only flowers but the fruits of life and abundance. She was also the patron goddess of prostitutes and craftsmen.

Some of the Witchcraft/Magickal Correspondence for Beltane

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY CORRESPONDENCES POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

(One Person’s View Point) Beltane Sunset to Sunset. April 30th – May 1st

Beltane honours Life. It represents the peak of Spring and the beginning of Summer. Earth energies are at their strongest and most active. All of life is bursting with potent fertility and at this point in the Wheel of the Year, the potential becomes conception. On May Eve the sexuality of life and the earth is at its peak. Abundant fertility, on all levels, is the central theme. The Maiden goddess has reached her fullness. She is the manifestation of growth and renewal, Flora, the Goddess of Spring, the May Queen, the May Bride. The Young Oak King, as Jack-In-The-Green, as the Green Man, falls in love with her and wins her hand. The union is consummated and the May Queen becomes pregnant. Together the May Queen and the May King are symbols of the Sacred Marriage (or Heiros Gamos), the union of Earth and Sky, and this union has merrily been re-enacted by humans throughout the centuries. For this is the night of the Greenwood Marriage. It is about sexuality and sensuality, passion, vitality and joy. And about conception. A brilliant moment in the Wheel of the Year to bring ideas, hopes and dreams into action. And have some fun…..

Traditions of Beltane

Beltane is a Fire Festival. The word ‘Beltane’ originates from the Celtic God ‘Bel’, meaning ‘the bright one’ and the Gaelic word ‘teine’ meaning fire. Together they make ‘Bright Fire’, or ‘Goodly Fire’ and traditionally bonfires were lit to honour the Sun and encourage the support of Bel and the Sun’s light to nurture the emerging future harvest and protect the community. Bel had to be won over through human effort. Traditionally all fires in the community were put out and a special fire was kindled for Beltane. “This was the Tein-eigen, the need fire. People jumped the fire to purify, cleanse and to bring fertility. Couples jumped the fire together to pledge themselves to each other. Cattle and other animals were driven through the smoke as a protection from disease and to bring fertility. At the end of the evening, the villagers would take some of the Teineigen to start their fires anew.” (From Sacred Celebrations by Glennie Kindred) Green Man – Beltane

Page of Pentacles – Minor Arcana Court Card

The Page of Pentacles shows a young man, standing alone in the middle of fertile land. There was a lush forest of fruit trees behind him, promising a plentiful harvest. He walked slowly and did not know anything about the surrounding area. He focused on nothing but the gold coin in his hands. The sky is bright and everything is going very well on the path leads to his future success.

In Tarot court cards, The Page is a card of new beginnings, inspiration and early stages of a creative project. Pentacles correspond to the element of Earth in Alchemy. Therefore, the fact that the Page treasures the gold coin shows an awareness, appreciating the value of money not only physically but also about the related needs such as health, food, and clothes.

Ifin/Iphin

Io (sometimes Ph) is Ifin or Iphin, the Pine tree. This evergreen was once known as the “sweetest of wood,” and its needles can be brewed into tea which provides a good source of Vitamin C. Pine is associated with clarity of vision, and alleviation of guilt. When Ifin appears, it may indicate feelings of guilt that need to be put aside, or unresolved conflicts that need closure.

In Scotland, the Pine was a symbol of the warrior, and in some stories it was planted over the graves of those fallen in battle. More often than not, the Pine was used as a building material, and it continues to be used as such today.

Ifin Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: When this symbol appears, it means you need to stop beating yourself up over feelings of guilt. Did you say something hurtful, and damage a relationship? Now’s the time to mend it. Make amends for mistreating others, whether it was deliberate or accidental.

Magical Aspects: Use any residual bits of guilt to bring about change. To do this, you’ll need to focus on the root cause of your feelings. Once you find the source of your discomfort or anxiety, channel that negative energy, turn it around, and use it as a tool of transformation. When this symbol appears, it may also be a hint that you’re not seeing things as clearly as you should be. Put aside emotions and look at things from an intellectual standpoint–in other words, don’t let the heart rule over the brain.

Name: Ta Ch’u .

Keyphrase: The taming power of the great.

Formed By The Trigrams: Mountain over Heaven.

General: Wisdom and resources accumulated in a disciplined manner will help you in all future endeavors.

Love: Your relationship will not be helped by being frivolous or impulsive.

Business: Be disciplined in your approach and seek wisdom from those with more experience.

Personal: Focus on building your inner resources and/or strength.

Overview: Ta Ch’u is about accumulating resources. It is not, however, about being miserly and hoarding. Your wealth should be put to work for the benefit of all. Ta Ch’u is also a reminder that there are people around you with more wisdom and experience and that you should not be afraid, or see it as a sign of weakness, to seek their advice. It is also about moderation. Use your resources but use them wisely so that you can take care of those around you.

As you explore the realm of numerology, you’ll discover that the number 26 holds a unique significance, representing a harmonious balance of opposing forces that shape your life’s journey.

By understanding the dynamic interplay of the receptive and nurturing qualities within 26, you’ll gain insight into your life path, spiritual significance, and even your career and life purpose.

Twenty-Six

Angel number 26 carries a powerful message about balancing our earthly needs with spiritual growth. 1 It’s easy to get caught up in just the financial side, but there’s so much more to it.

The 26 number meaning goes beyond money – it’s a gentle reminder to have faith in divine guidance for all areas of our lives. 2 Over my decade-plus of studying numerology and founding Numberology, I’ve come to see how the energies of 2 and 6 combine to create something truly special in this number.

When 26 keeps appearing, it’s as if the angels are tapping us on the shoulder, saying “Hey, don’t worry so much about those worldly concerns.” It’s a cosmic signal to let go of fear and anxiety, having confidence that we’ll be taken care of. 3 The 26 number meaning also encourages us towards positive thinking and gratitude. You know how it goes – focus on the good, and more good tends to come your way. Plus, it just feels better to approach life with appreciation.

“Let go of your fear and know that you are safe and protected at all times”

Whenever you venture into unfamiliar territory it’s quite natural to feel some trepidation. Your mind can create all sorts of scenarios as to what can go wrong. Doubts and uncertainties may arise, and the can seem fraught with challenges and sometimes even danger. You may find yourself stuck at times, fearful about moving ahead. Yet much of what we label as fear isn’t actually fear, True fear is a vital, instinctual response to any life-threatening situation and is triggered not only by circumstances or events, but even more so by what you think about those circumstances or events. Stay relaxed yet vigilant, trusting that nothing can truly harm you and that your body will provide sensory information if there is any actual danger. If there truly is a threat, then your instincts will tell you what to do.

Whenever you feel an exaggerated sense of fear triggered mainly by your thoughts, one that has little or no basis in reality, take a few slow, deep breaths. Call upon spirit helpers who have provided their guidance and protection before. Reach out to close friends or family members for reassurance and to help you feel grounded and centered. Recall those times in the past when you did not feel frightened or were endangered and not only survived, but came through intact. You can also re-label fear and instead call it excitement, as the two emotions are very similar in the way they manifest in the body. Most of all, trust your spirit guides, your instincts, and your friends to watch out for you.

Associations: Protection; Guardianship; Alertness; Kindheartedness; Compassion; Individuality; Compromise; Challenge; Analysis; Illusion; Magic; Sure-footedness; Confidence; Changes; Agility

Othala

Sound: “o” as in “old”
Stands for: Home (or Odla – sacred ancestral land)
Color: Copper (Brown)
Casting meaning: Much like Fehu this is a rune of wealth. But unlike Fehu, Othala represents a wealth that cannot be sold. This is wealth like family, friendships or our culture and heritage that is passed down to us. It represents an enclosure and maintains the existing state of things as they presently are.

The Eye

This rune means to watch, to be spellbound, to probe deeper and discover that which is hidden from view.

It indicates becoming conscious and aware. This can sometimes mean you will be shocked into some awareness.

The Eye Rune implies the inner eye, to bring something into focus, to awaken or startle.

It suggests the all-knowing or all-seeing consciousness.

This rune has everything to do with examination, inspection, exposure and understanding on the deepest level

Eabhadh/Eadha

E is Eadhadh, or Eadha, which is the Aspen, a symbol of endurance and courage. The Aspen is a durable, hardy tree that grows all over North America and Scotland, so when Eadhadh appears, take it as a sign of strong will and success. Challenges may come your way, but you will eventually conquer your adversaries and obstacles.

In folklore and literature, the Aspen is associated with heroes, and many “crowns of Aspen” have been found in ancient burial sites. The sturdy wood was popular for making shields, and were often imbued with magical protective properties. In the Highlands of Scotland, the Aspen was often rumored to be connected to the realm of the Fae.

Eadhadh Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: Like the Aspen, you can be flexible without snapping. No matter what obstacles come, allow yourself to know that these too will be gone eventually. You will be left stronger for the experience, if you can get over your fears and reservations.

Magical Aspects: Don’t give in to the pressures of the material world. Focus instead on your spiritual journey, even if it seems like it would be a lot easier to give up and let things fall by the wayside. Even in the Tarot, the Fool knows he has a long way to go, but the first step is the hardest. When Eadhadh appears, put aside your distractions, and take that first all-important step on your journey.

Hexagram Ten/10

Name: Lu.

Formed By The Trigrams: Heaven over Lake.

General: A successful journey can be assured if one careful step at a time is taken.

Love: Goodwill is the key to solving any relationship issues.

Business: Achieving success within business is best accomplished treating others with courtesy and respect.

Personal: Focus on ridding yourself of any feelings of envy or jealousy.

Overview: Lu relates to the need to develop your social skills and to make sure that they are sincere and not insincere. It indicates a need to make sure that jealousy or envy are not present within your life and if they are, to take steps to resolve them. Lu is all about inequality and the need to avoid it.

Numerology

Eighteen

It is involved with business on an international scale, and it is a discordance between idealism and selfishness. There is a lack of conscious spiritual effort. If the 18 is prominent in your chart, reading and travel will be very beneficial.

Seven Hundred Fourty-Seven

Meaning and Significance

Angel number 747 unites the high vibrations and energies of the number 7 and the number 4. Since the number 7 appears twice, the influence of 7’s energies is doubled in this angel number.

According to numerology, the number 7 signifies wisdom, knowledge, spirituality, determination, and education.

The spiritual significance of number 7 ranges from spiritual knowledge and involvement to spiritual awakening and enlightenment.

The number 7 can be considered a highly spiritual number with a lot to offer for your spiritual development. It relates to the presence of spiritual teachers, and the true potential one person can reach when they become an enlightened spirit.

Spiritually

The spiritual meaning of 747 resonates with all things divine: spiritual knowledge, involvement, awakening, and enlightenment.

You are born into this life with the true purpose of healing this world through your strong spiritual sense, and you are capable of helping people in need.

However, first, you need to believe in your divine mission and start to view success in a different light.

Success is not about riches, and how much you have earned doesn’t determine how successful you are.

It’s your spiritual growth that defines success and what the future holds for you.

Cosmic secrets are waiting to be unlocked, and several meanings of your existence are waiting to be found.

By surrounding yourself with positive energy and looking into your inner self with the eyes of the spirit, you will be able to stay on your spiritual journey and begin building a new life.

You should know that there is no “right time” to implement these changes – the right time is right now!

You must get started immediately to understand how life can work for you and not against you.

The 747 angel number reminds us how little we know of life and how much infinite wisdom is out there waiting for us.

Building a spiritually-inclined life is not that difficult with a bit of determination, hard work, and perseverance.

You just need to start paying attention to the secret messages your guardian angel is sending you. It’s time to take your first steps and follow wherever angel number 747 takes you in the future!

You do not have much patience for pettiness or argumentative people. You love to laugh so you are likely to have a good sense of humor.

Your friends love you! You are the center of their eyes. Everywhere you go, you make a new friend. You love the unusual and you will usually find excitement or drama with a few of your friends. The 22nd April birthday personality loves to live life dangerously or on a larger scale than most. You are extremely generous and you will trade in your player’s card for marriage if and only when you meet the right one.This Taurus birthday person has been known to frown on a public display of affection as you have many friends. Some believe in marriage… some prefer to be single and free. You are in no hurry to wear a ball and chain. You had a traditional childhood with parents who taught values and morals.

Untypical of a parenting Taurus, you give your children free reign to do as they please. This will never work.

(One Person’s View Point) Samhain (Sow-en) – The Celtic roots of Halloween

As millions of children and adults participate in the fun of Halloween on the night of October 31st, few will be aware of its ancient Celtic roots in the Samhain (Samain) festival. In Celtic Ireland about 2,000 years ago, Samhain was the division of the year between the lighter half (summer) and the darker half (winter). At Samhain the division between this world and the otherworld was at its thinnest, allowing spirits to pass through.

The family’s ancestors were honoured and invited home whilst harmful spirits were warded off. People wore costumes and masks to disguise themselves as harmful spirits and thus avoid harm. Bonfires and food played a large part in the festivities. The bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into a communal fire, household fires were extinguished and started again from the bonfire. Food was prepared for the living and the dead, food for the ancestors who were in no position it eat it, was ritually shared with the less well off.

Christianity incorporated the honouring of the dead into the Christian calendar with All Saints (All Hallows) on November 1st, followed by All Souls on November 2nd. The wearing of costumes and masks to ward off harmful spirits survived as Halloween customs. The Irish emigrated to America in great numbers during the 19th century especially around the time of famine in Ireland during the 1840’s. The Irish carried their Halloween traditions to America, where today it is one of the major holidays of the year. Through time other traditions have blended into Halloween, for example the American harvest time tradition of carving pumpkins.

Two hills in the Boyne Valley were associated with Samhain in Celtic Ireland, Tlachtga and Tara. Tlachtga was the location of the Great Fire Festival which begun on the eve of Samhain (Halloween). Tara was also associated with Samhain, however it was secondary to Tlachtga in this respect.

The entrance passage to the Mound of the Hostages on the Hill of Tara is aligned with the rising sun around Samhain. The Mound of the Hostages is… Click here to read the rest of this article about Samhain

Five/5 of Pentacles – Minor Arcana

Loss; unpleasant differences

A man and a woman walk away from each other, each determined that their way or opinion is the only one. Five broken disks with pentacles lie on the ground between them. These disks symbolize life, friendship, cooperation, and/or love built between them, now destroyed because of ego and lack of compromise. Five dragons in the sky above them scream their anger and displeasure. Little dragons hiss at each other over the broken disks. The balance of the spiritual forces they have cultivated with their relationship has been upset, turning positive energies and events into negative ones.

Divinatory Meaning: Take care or there may be a loss of home or job. Differences arise that could divide friends or lovers. There may be a period of deep loneliness.

“Create a sacred space for yourself in your home and/or place of work”

A Sacred Space is an area in your home or work place where you have some privacy for contemplation, mediation, or simply a bit of quite time to think. If this isn’t possible to do at work, it becomes even more imperative that you provide this for yourself in your home. This is a space that is your territory, whether it’s an entire room or a corner of your living room or bedroom. Place a cozy chair or pillow there, and then set up a simple altar, one that contains a few pieces that are both personal and precious. Include a candle in your space that you can light when you’re abiding there. Make your sacred space a comfortable place to hang out, with no agenda or compulsion to do anything. As Buddha said, “Don’t just do something; sit there.”

You may find all sorts of reasons or excuses not to do this, but don’t cave in to these internal objections. Make it important enough for your emotional and mental health and balance to create this kind of private spiritual sanctuary. Be sure to do nothing in particular for a good period of the time you sit there. The increasingly rapid pace of life and growing intensities in the world are even greater cause for doing so. It’s a place for solace, one where you can more closely listen to your inner voice and feelings, and tap into the Life Force inside that’s expressing itself as you.

Associations: Rarity; Vegetarianism; Polarity; Willpower; Solitude; Privacy; Sacred Space; Intuition; Perspective; Gentleness; Strength; Flexibility; Modesty; Economy

St – Straith

This symbol, used for the sound St, is Straith (sometimes seen as Straif), the Blackthorn tree. A symbol of authority and control, the Blackthorn is connected to strength and triumph over adversity. Blackthorn is a tree (although some might argue it’s more of a really big shrub) of winter, and its berries only ripen after the first frost. White flowers appear in the spring, and the bark is black and thorny.

On a medicinal level, Blackthorn berries–sloe berries–are brewed to make a tonic (this is what Sloe Gin is made from). The tonic can be used as a laxative and/or diuretic, as well as a skin astringent. In folklore, the Blackthorn has a fairly unpleasant reputation. An English legend refers to a devastating winter as a “Blackthorn Winter.” It also represents the darker side of magic and witchcraft. Because it’s a plant that becomes hardy when all around it is dying, it is associated with the Dark Mother, the Crone aspect of the Goddess, particularly the Cailleach in some parts of Scotland and Ireland. There is also a strong connection to the Morrighan, because of Blackthorn’s association with the blood and death of warriors. In fact, in early Celtic culture, the Blackthorn was popular for its use in the cudgel shillelagh.

Straith Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: Expect the unexpected, especially when it comes to change. Your plans may be altered, or even destroyed, so plan to deal with it. The appearance of Straith often indicates the influence of external forces.

Magical Aspects: You’re at the beginning of a new journey, and there will be some surprises–possibly unpleasant ones–along the way. Overcoming these obstacles will give you strength. Realize that you–and your life–are changing.

I Ching

As a Taurus born on April 20th…

 Astrological symbol: Bull. The sign of the Bull represents people born April 20 – May 20, when the Sun is placed in Taurus. It suggests tact, strength, confidence and abundance.

 The Taurus Constellation, one of the 12 zodiac constellations is spread on an area of 797 sq degrees and its visible latitudes are +90° to -65°. The brightest star is Aldebaran and its neighboring constellations are Aries to the West and Gemini to the East.

 The Bull is named from the Latin Taurus, the zodiac sign for April 20. In Italy it is named Toro while the Spanish call it Tauro.

 Opposite sign: Scorpio. This is relevant in astrology because it shows that partnerships between the Taurus and Scorpio sun signs are beneficial and highlight positivity and emotions.

 Modality: Fixed. Presents how much bravery and control exists in the lives of those born on April 20 and how amicable they are in general.

 Ruling house: The second house. This means that Taurians are twice influenced in their quest for personal possessions and a life of luxury as this house deals with everything that is important to an individual in life.

 Ruling body: Venus. This planet signifies beauty and caution and also suggests a excitement nature. Venus represents feminine energy opposing the masculine energy of Mars.

 Element: Earth. This is an element that brings structure and the sense of practicality in the lives of those born under the April 20 zodiac. Earth associated to the other three elements models or heats up.

 Lucky day: Friday. This day is under the governing of Venus and symbolizes generosity and charm. It also identifies with the positive nature of Taurus natives.

 Lucky numbers: 2, 9, 14, 18, 24.

 Motto: “I own!”

People born on April 20 are relentless and pragmatic and know exactly when to play their bull headedness and when to use patience and tact in accomplishing their objectives. They are the ones to truly appreciate the joy in material things or enterprises such as watching a good movie or reading an enticing book. However, when they are installed in their own convenience, they hate being disturbed in any way or being hurried, especially when this is happening for something that they don’t consider relevant.

 Positive Traits: We’re talking about people who are aspiring but don’t forget to be unfailing and caring to those they care about. Taurus people are usually empathetic and honorable to anyone who wins their recognition, although this happens really hard. Those born under this sign have also an attentive vision of life that is coupled with a forceful temper to achieve their objectives, once they decide which those objectives are. And this usually takes some time for Taurus people.

 Negative Traits: These individuals need to understand that they should stop being so hesitant and so rapid to take on judgment. On the other hand, there is no need to feel as easily harmed as they do and they should try and worry less about these things that seems to get on their nerves. They are also extremely self promoting and they should put higher demands to themselves because surely they can achieve them. If they want to achieve that satisfying life they crave for, they should also learn to end settling for less than they feel they deserve.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on April 20 are passionate and adventurous. They prefer to form serious relationships rather than date around so they do find accomplishment when they settle down. They are attracted to refined but enthusiastic persons, they love to spoil their partner but in the same time they need to feel like they can also depend on the other person, for better or worse. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you give them enough space but also if you maintain your personality and lively spirit. The single Taurus knows how to enjoy their personal time and is not in any hurry to enter a relationship unless they really want to.

 They are prudent and circumspect lovers and although not passionate their gentleness and honesty compensate. Their relationships are likely to grow on friendships as they need time to know the person that stays beside them. They offer everything they have to their loved one and ask for the same. Gentle and loving daydreamers now, but when time comes they will prove to be very dedicated to their family and they are likely to sacrifice many of their dreams for their loved one’s sake. They are most compatible with those born on the 2nd, 5th, 9th, 11th, 14th, 18th, 20th, 23rd, 27th and 29th. April 20 Zodiac people are most attached to the other two earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Taurus is in a constant search for someone who is as mysterious and attractive as to keep their interest alive and the best to offer them this is the native in Scorpio. The least compatible with people born on April 20 are those born under Aries. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

Lucky Color: The color considered to be representative for Taurus natives with April 20 is green.

April 20 Taurus at Their Best: Powerful, inspirational, exciting

April 20 Taurus at Their Worst: Delusional, melodramatic, desperate

What to Eat: Taurus lives for sensual pleasure, so deliver it with several courses of creamy, rich and savory dishes — and don’t forget the wine!

Who to Invite: Taurus might pretend to not care who comes, but unless you invite everybody on this territorial person’s buddy list, you could be in for some sulking.

Where to Go: Pick a venue that at least looks posh. Taurus always likes to experience a nothing but the best kind of birthday.

IF YOU ARE BORN ON April 20, you are an Aries birthday individual who is capable of being very logical and considerate. In certain situations, you remain calm when other people would go nuts. That kind of collectiveness is certainly useful in management positions or while parenting.

If today is your birthday, you are likely to think with your heart sometimes instead of your brain. This can give people the impression that you are spacey or wishy-washy even.

The April 20th birthday personality seems to like the tranquility of peaceful and undisclosed settings. This Arian likes to take his or her time and tends to have a soft-spoken and pleasing disposition. You do not like massive crowds nor do you like to be hurried. Some may think that you are a little precarious or moody because of it.

Most of your friends love your warm and caring attitude but more so your imagination. You have always been a curious individual and like to be in control over your state of affairs.

However, there are times when you get a little depressed and feel out of sorts. Nothing, not even a day out with your favorite people would cure you. Treating yourself to a spa day or a picnic would change your mood in no time.

The 20th April birthday horoscope predicts that you are close to your friends and family. You are a valued loved one but there could be a lot of pressure associated with these relationships. Arians born today want to live by their own set of rules and may have developed other values than what was forced upon them as a child.

As an Aries born on this zodiac birthday, you love to be chased. This is unlike most other Arians. In a relationship you look for someone who is loyal, has emotional maturity, and who has compelling urges for momentary pleasures.

The April 20 birthday astrology rightly shows that you can be taxing, at times, persistent and controlling but you try to remain realistic. You give your word… people can count on it. You, as a rule, do not go around making impossible promises.

You who are born on this day have ambitions. With your mind set on living a worry-free lifestyle, you work on achieving financial goals. You know how to use the salary you were given to your advantage but you will accept the highest paid position offered.

oney management is one your best assets. You know when to buy and when to save. Some say that money is evil but you believe that not having enough makes people do desperate things.

The 20 April birthday meanings show that you need to have a balance between eating nutritious meals and fitness. Since you are usually active, you need to eat better food than what they serve at the drive-thru windows. Stay away from those tantalizing dessert trays and make regular appointments with all health care physicians.

Those of you born this day have careers that come with stress so be watchful of signs that something may be wrong. Working out or meditation will be useful tools to help with nervous tension. In addition, it will help maintain that youthful appearance you desire.

The 20th April birthday personality is said to live in their own world. You have the ability to stay calm during stressful times or crises. You have problems, however, staying away from junk foods. Your image is important to you, as you want to live the tranquil life of one who is respected and successful.

This Aries prefer the peaceful sounds of the country rather than the hustle and bustle of city life. If you were born on April 20, your birthday characteristics show that you are good with handling money.

You know how to save for rainy days, as you are no stranger to disappointment and setbacks. Aside from bouts with slight depression, you are in excellent mental health.

“It’s time to strike out on your own and relinquish your over dependency on others.”

It’s so easy to slip into a comfortable dependency with anything or anyone, from simple dependencies that can be healthy and restorative (such as daily exercise) to destructive and hard-core dependencies, such as an addiction. You may find yourself so totally hooked on another person that you lose yourself, always turning to that individual to either make decisions for you or to validate your own. This can apply to organizations as well.

Those dependencies that you’re most familiar with are most likely born out of habit rather than conscious choice. To make truly autonomous decisions, don’t get caught up in the polarities of being dependent or independent. Instead, make those choices from a place where you maintain your own authority and power, and accept 100 percent responsibility for those choices and their consequences. Now is the time to review the people and things upon which you excessively and habitually dependent: Step back from them, identify the areas where you need to make some adjustments, and act accordingly. Practice setting boundaries, asking for what you want, and making decisions based on your own internal authority and autonomy.

Saille/Suil

S is for Saille, pronounced sahl-yeh, and is associated with the Willow tree. The Willow is often found near water, and when nourished it will grow rapidly. This symbol is representative of knowledge and spiritual growth, as well as being connected with the month of April. Willows offer protection and healing, and is closely connected to the cycles of the moon. Likewise, this symbol is tied to women’s mysteries and cycles.

In folk medicine, Willow has long been connected with healing. A tea of willow bark was used to treat fevers, rheumatism, coughs, and other inflammatory conditions. Nineteenth century scientists discovered that the Willow contains salicylic acid, a synthetic version of which is the primary pain-relief ingredient in Aspirin. In addition to its use as a healing herb, Willow was also harvested for wicker work. Baskets, small curricles, and even bee hives were constructed with this bendable, flexible wood.

Saille Correspondences

Mundane Aspects: One cannot evolve without changing. Realize that part of life’s journey includes learning lessons–even unpleasant ones. This is a natural part of the human experience.

Magical Aspects: Give yourself a break periodically, and take time to rest spiritually. Know that change will come when you are ready for it. Allow yourself some flexibility in your spiritual life as well.

Love: You need to behave in a compassionate fashion towards your partner.

Business: Your ideas are sound but you need to take time to thoroughly plan out your strategy for making them work.

Personal: You need to take time out to relax and enjoy life more.

Overview: Ch’ien is pure yang energy. Being pure yang it indicates a time when you are in a good position to achieve your objectives (whatever they may be). However, it is a time of potential as there is a lack of yin influence. So now is the time to make those plans and get ready to put them into action. Plan thoroughly and don’t be impatient. Although Ch’ien is an auspicious hexagram, for your plans to have a lasting effect and value your motives need to be virtuous. Be compassionate when you move forward. If you are arrogant you will only breed complacency or resentment in those around you.

THE PRIMAL FORCE

From a spiritual perspective, the 1 is the number of creation – the primal force from which all other numbers spring forth. Some say once you truly understand the place and function of this elemental number, enlightenment will be yours.

This statement doesn’t apply to a Numerologist’s perspective alone, but perhaps it’s a good place to start since the personality of the number 1 aligns nicely with its elevated spiritual symbolism.

The 1 is a doer, a powerful force that produces results.

The 1 is aggressive – a necessary trait for creating, and not allowing anything to limit its potential. The 1 is the spearhead, always in the forefront directing and leading others.

The shape of this number reflects its meaning; the 1 walks upright with pride and purpose – strong, determined, and unwavering with a specific goal in mind. The 1 is capable of turning ideas into reality – pushing obstacles aside or simply drilling right through them.

The 1 tends to have a simple, straightforward view of life, heedless of its many complexities.

An individual with the dynamic 1 trusts their ability to separate right from wrong, doesn’t waste time on abstract ideas, and rarely follows a path that isn’t in line with their result-oriented goal. The 1 is no preacher, no philosopher, spiritual explorer, nor dreamer – and certainly not an idealist. They are pragmatic, ruthless conquerors, and warriors extraordinaire. The 1 is individualistic and independent to a fault. They will attempt to force their viewpoint on you but have no desire to hear yours.

The 1 can be confrontational, jealous, and exceedingly stubborn, but also courageous and willing to try anything new (with promise) even at great risk. They have a sense of honor and responsibility that demands respect and are the first to defend injustice and hypocrisy.

Befriend a 1 and you have a friend for life.

Fortunately, the 1 has a great capacity for humor, often self-depreciating, so you can poke fun at your friend and not worry about hurt feelings. But don’t cater to them to win love or friendship or you will lose their respect. Stand up to a 1 and you may lose the fight, but you’ll gain admiration. Working for a 1 you will be pushed to the limit, abused at all hours, and incapable of living up to unreasonable expectations. But you will also become the best you can be.

When in trouble, you want a friend with a strong 1 on your side, and you won’t find a braver partner or a more dedicated protector. But, if the 1 is your enemy, you could be crushed without mercy. And be forewarned, the number 1 is the most difficult of all lovers, demanding, jealous, confrontational, and impatient.

If you have a 1 in your core numbers, your happiness and sense of satisfaction will come from your work more than any other source.

Knight of Pentacles – Court Card

This is the card of new career adventure and an auspicious occasion. There is energy and enthusiasm for the new project or new job. There may be some kind of progression in training involved, as with levels of skilled craftmanship from apprentice to master. The indication is that there is an auspicious change on the horizon, something sought and approached with unbound eagerness. The card could refer to a new job, or even entry to the military service where one may learn a skill or trade.

Here the Knight of Pentacles is a young woman. Leaving the farm and freshly plowed fields behind her, she rides her muscular workhorse and carries her earned pay in a pouch on her belt. She is excited and determined to make her way in the wider world, earning a living through her hard work, for with her draft horse she can hire out to plow fields at different farms. This card indicates a useful person who offers stability and approaches work in a reliable and methodical manner, yet is able to implement new ideas and carry them through to a satisfactory conclusion.

Peonies, flowers for business and opportunities, are carried by the Knight of Pentacles. A flacon, a symbol of loyalty, security, and communication, flies near the knight.

Meaning: Job opportunity, auspicious occasion, useful person, responsible, and competent worker, new career advancement, enthusiasm, reliable worker, goal achieved, beginning of a new stage of work or career, diligent service, consistent effort applied to tasks, gentle and methodical, good business sense, self-reliant.

Prompt Words: Job opportunity, new career adventure.

Scythe: the reaping, death, waning, end of an era, releasing and clearing

The scythe may seem scary to some, like the Death card in a tarot reading. BUT the scythe also means an end to something that needs to be released. It could mean clearing and letting go.

Ogham

Huath/Uathe

H is for Huath, or Uatha, and is symbolic of the Hawthorn tree. This prickly-thorned tree is associated with cleansing, protection and defense. Tie a thorn with a red ribbon and use it as a protective amulet in your home, or place a bundle of thorns under a baby’s crib to keep bad energy away. Because the Hawthorn typically blooms around Beltane, it is also strongly connected with fertility, masculine energy, and fire.

In folklore, the Hawthorn is associated with the land of the Fae. Thomas the Rhymer met the Faerie Queen under a Hawthorn tree and ended up in the Faerie realm for seven years. Despite its connection with female and goddess-centered pre-Christian belief, it’s considered unlucky to bring Hawthorn into your home. This may stem from the fact that some species of Hawthorn give off a particularly unpleasant –almost corpse-like–scent after they’ve been cut. No one wants their home to smell like death.

In Glastonbury, England, there’s a famous Hawthorn tree known as the Holy Thorn. The tree that stands there today is supposed to be a descendant of one that stood on Glastonbury Tor two thousand years ago, when Joseph of Arimathea brought the Grail to England from the Holy Land. When Joseph thrust his staff into the ground, it turned into a Hawthorn tree.

Hexagram Sixty-Three/ 63

Name: Chi Chi.

Keyphrase: After completion.

Formed By The Trigrams: Water over Fire.

General: Every triumph brings new challenges.

Love: Your relationship will move into a deeper phase.

Business: Celebrate your achievements but be sure to consolidate your success.

Overview: Chi Chi relates to successful completion and what comes next. It is now a time that you have achieved great success and have every right to celebrate. Chi Chi reminds you though, that all things change and that you need to be alert for anything that will undermine your current success. Avoid becoming complacent, or arrogant. If you want your success to endure you must immediately take steps to consolidate it. It is important for you to realize that this is the conclusion of a chapter in your life. A new chapter awaits.

Number 1 literally suggests being number 1 in the things you’re doing. If it’s business, then number 1 shows your admirable leadership ability, your charisma when showing others the way, and in turn, people’s natural, innate desire to trust your lead. If you decide to own your business or be a manager at a company, you’ll succeed greatly. Just remember, not every other person is a number 1! It will help to have patience and understanding for those who’re born to be followers.

In matters of love, it’s easy for you to be on your own and not feel lonely. You love being in a relationship but you also enjoy being single – sometimes too much! When you’re going for a long-term commitment, make sure your partner doesn’t have co-dependency issues, as it will be a deal-breaker for you.

If a certain date adds up to number 1, that day is a great day to start new projects, to go out on a first date, to get a new haircut, and to plan ahead.
