EARTHLY QUEEN

 

Sigil of the Bull

The Taurean Bull of course can be tracked back to the ancient Egyptian Apis Bull and his partner. The Apis Bull was the sacred symbol of Osiris and through him of his partner Isis/Hathor who sometimes sports the cow head. It is quite debatable which had the most authority, but it is highly suspicious that it was Isis who was the goddess to give birth to the child Horos or Hour.  Horos or Hour, a segment of time-space and symbol of the creative qualities as the Great Mother Goddess. However, make no mistake that Isis would remain barren without the stimulation, seeding and support of Osiris. It does and always will take two to tango or in other words a polarity to create a third condition generated out of that polarity. Think carefully upon these words, said the master.

 

Isis and Osiris are the cosmic polarities of the ‘All’; the male and female principles of life, and their story is retold by Plutarch. Plutarch had learnt a lot from the High Priestess Clea.

Venus is the planet most associated with the Earth sign Taurus. Venus is symbolised in the ancient Goddess Hathor. Hathor wears the cow head symbolised in the horns of potency and the disk of creation.

 

The other image of Venus is the classical Greek goddess Aphrodite, an image that over emphasises the feminine. And yet one can still sense some yang energies to be present and to keep the balance going.  Aphrodite has absolute ‘feminine’ appeal, yet with a hidden stress of being her own person. 

Aphrodite of Greece

In fact, Aphrodite can be quite harsh in her search for equality, balance, harmony, and justice. When these desires are harnessed to the Bullish qualities of Taurus, there is not likely to be a middle path towards achieving that peace according to the Taurean will; a will-power that is strong and determined yet ready to play ball with the opponent if good practical reason is given and the production of harmony is sensed as the end product. Image assaulting the earth in order to planet a rose tree. The rose tree blooms and reminds us of the beauty of life well lived in balance.

 

Equally, we will see this drive in the Libran Venus. If Venus cannot be bothered with all the inconvenience of war then she is likely to sit down and refuse to move or to be concerned about the state of things. We will come to this in the October sign of Libra who also is strongly associated with the planet Venus.

The month of May is the time of year to pay homage to the Queen of Mother Earth, the goddess Flora or her associate Persephone the daughter of Demeter. Flowers are one of the attributes of the planet Venus symbolising the love of nature in its beautiful and harmonious aspect.
