The Seven Aspects of Taurus

MOTTOS:

“I SEE AND WHEN THE EYE IS OPENED, ALL IS LIGHT”.

“LET STRUGGLE BE UNDISMAYED”.

*

ONE*

The vital force, having heard the command given by Aries, rushes towards the goal and overwhelms each obstacle. Its propulsion is impetuous. A rushing current of energy is born and hastens to the goal: it is the incentive to live in form envisaging fulfillment.

TWO

The spatial substance is crossed by a tremor that shakes and renews it. By its nature it does not resist, and is furrowed in all directions by great trails of fire. A great desire is affirmed and answered; the great Mother obeys the heavenly will and arranges to cover it with innumerable forms. 

THREE

All growth processes occur. In the violence of the vital current the program is directed only by aiming at the goal. The eye, an instrument of light, assumes the function of guidance and control.

Its light points to the light in the triumph of light. It is the time of sight and vision, but also of music and sounds.

FOUR

To check the swirling flow of life energy, which rises in all creatures, without dampening it and without being overwhelmed, it is essential to seek and achieve the condition of a plural and dynamic equilibrium. In the great and stormy movement of growth, however, inner peace is possible, from which beauty emerges as a prodigy. This is the key to the sign of Taurus.

All that is young is beautiful, and the same beauty is youthful. The gaze is fixed on the goal, but the heart is full of hope, which is a prelude to the certainty of victory and keeps lit the lamp of joy.

From these notes it is inferred that the fourth quality performs a primary task in Taurus, since the harmony of beauty dissolves contrasts and calms violence without removing force.

FIVE

The motion rushes towards the energetic peak of the year, and goes up forking like a thunderbolt. Life pursues its sole purpose with the only possible method in the formal world: to infinitely multiply the variants of each variant, to move towards innumerable ends passing through as many stages, phases and cycles. Therefore, all flows are subdivided without slowing or losing rhythm. Life flows, full and lovingly, in every channel. Desire is impetuous, but the light of the fifth quality (the five-pointed star), just as it projects into the form, recalls to the world of Fire.

SIX

What ensures cohesion in the execution of the project and prevents confusion and conflict from interfering with the work, while the workers work feverishly, is the initial and final unity conceived in Capricorn. The hands of each, moved by the fifth quality, are free to follow their ways, independent and individual; but the heart is bound to the vision pursued by the eye, which sees consummation.

Such activity, free and supported by joy, while it is carried out externally, is lived inside. The heart coordinates it at all levels, generating broad collaboration aimed at the common Good. The manifest ways thus branch and pass through the most diverse fields, which they supply with life; but all of them lead to the horizon, towards Heaven, where they find themselves united.

SEVEN

In the fury of Tauruseverything appears disordered, and every process shatters into many minor and divergent developments. The earth opens, the seeds sprout, and the forms of life are established and grow on other growing forms.

The turmoil is caused by the igniting of the flame triggered by Aries. But the fire that separates and destroys is always animated by that which unites and creates. In truth, all things and processes are illuminated by the last light, which affirms the Order.

The Order, on closer inspection, is what unites, through development, the beginning to the end; command, execution and completion.
