Taurus

Transmutation of desire into intention. Enlightenment.

4.19  -   5.20

The full moon time is called Wesak in the East, or festival of Buddha.
The key note of Taurus (the Bull) is “ I see and when the eye is opened – all is light.”  This is the higher note of the sign. Taurus is on a Fixed Cross of Heavens. Taurus is an Earth sign. Rays 1 of Will Power and Ray 5 of science pour in through this sign.

Interesting points:
Taurus is the ability to see.
We as personalities are not filled by light. We spread ourselves thin in this world. For example we read hundreds of books, but only two or three work for us, the rest are useless.
The main thing Taurus does is to transmute desire into intention. We have to work on our matter. Desire is not enough for us as disciples. We have to channel light into it. Desire is the atmosphere of the absence of light. For example – the desire to revenge, to be the first one, to be nasty, to have or not to have. We have to learn to lessen our grip on things.
The first approach to this transformation is done using the energy of Venus – that transforms intellect into intuition, thus connecting the pairs of opposites with the non-binding connection. On the second level we use the energy of Vulcan to hammer on our ability to realize things from top to bottom, strengthening the ability of consciousness. Vulcan rules the processes of time that are like an anvil. It deals the blow that casts the metal into what is desired. And it is especially true today.

Taurus is the Piercing Light on the Path. It is the beam of light, poured forth onto the points in Aries and showing the sphere of influence of light.
Egotistic desire                     Enlightened Life                               Aspiration
The Light of Earth                    The Light of Love                                The Light of Life

The lower key note of the sign is – Taurus is rushing about till Sagittarius directs it. In Taurus desire is transmuted into aspiration, darkness gives place to light and inspiration. The eye of the Bull is opened, which is the third spiritual eye, or the “only eye” of the New Testament.


1.         Taurus – unties the lower desires preceding the turn of the Great Wheel in search of personal satisfaction. The prodigal son leaves for far away countries. Mutable Cross.

2.         Taurus – is the desire to overcome desire. Thirst, strong pursuit to achieve liberation. Transmutation of desire into love. Fixed Cross.

3.         Taurus – is the guardian of the secret of light, which brings an initiate a gift of enlightenment. In Taurus – Buddha achieves victory over desire and arrives at illumination. The “eye of the Bull” is the eye of revelation. 

4.         Taurus rules desire and transfers the tests onto the emotional plane. It raises desire-sensitivity from the world of the form into the world of fine perception, which we call the plane of intuition.

5.         As the age of Aquarius enters into manifestation on our planet, humanity – the world’s disciple, begins to come under the influence of Taurus.

6.         Taurus forges the instruments of either useful life or destruction. It hammers the chains that bind, or creates the key, unlocking the secret of life. This process of forging with the noise that accompanies it goes on in our time in the most obvious way.    

7.         This sign – is an earth sign. The carrying out of the Plan or the fulfillment of desire must take place at the outward plane of life. The will or desire must express themselves at the physical plane, be it the surroundings of an individual, a nation, or a group of nations.

8.         The entire secret of divine purpose and planning is hidden in this sign, owing fundamentally to the relations of the Pleiades to the constellation, the Great Bear, and to our solar system.

9.         Taurus brings inner urges onto the outer plane of life. Thus it brings out DESIRE in the masses of men, and WILL to good or purposefulness in a disciple or initiate. This shows as stubbornness in an ordinary man, or as intelligent will motivated by love in an advanced man.

There is at this time, owing to the influx of the Shamballa force, the establishing of a peculiar relation between the constellation Taurus, the planet Pluto, and our Earth. This Shamballa force intensifies the light by removal of the obstructions. It proceeds from far distant places, pouring onto the sorrowful planet, the Earth, impelling the Bull upon its onward rush.

10.       Taurus rules the neck and the thyroid gland.
11.       The rulers of the sign are Venus (exoteric) and Vulcan (esoteric and hierarchical)
12.       The rulers of decanates are Venus, Mercury and Saturn.
