The New Moon in Taurus and the killing of Bin Laden

How incredible that as we welcome a New Moon in Taurus for its sensual and earthbound qualities, we wake up to the news of Bin Laden having been killed right on the New Moon.

This is the magic of life. We never know and we always learn something new.

As Mars, God of War, links with Jupiter, the planet that rules Sagittarius, and the 9th house, of our beliefs and our connexion with what lies beyond our conscious limits this religious fanatic, is killed. This conjunction happened in Aries, the sign ruled by Mars.

If we look at the chart of the operation that ended with Bin Laden being killed, drawn for 11 o’clock pm, in Abbottabad, Pakistan we can see the conjunction happens right at the IC with Pluto rising.

As we know, what ever gets triggered at a New Moon, will be resumed or completed at the following Full Moon, which happens to be a Scorpio Full Moon on the 17th of May. Let’s hope nothing happens then. But, if anyone were to take reprisals that would be a dangerous time.

There is no doubt that Mars plays an important roll in this operation,  since the transiting Moon in its way to meet the Sun in Taurus, was just passing by the Mars-Jupiter conjunction at 24º Aries, and it is also curious that Barack Obama’s Mars opposes Osama Bin Laden’s Mars. Saturn is opposing Venus almost exactly, the ruler of this New Moon.

In the birthchart we have of Bin Laden drawn for March 10th, 1957, apparently a date that he gave in an interview, there are many interesting connexions that resonate with his character and life.

The incredible Neptune trines to most of his planets in Pisces, speak for his religious persona, and the fact that most of us, projected upon him all these different characters typical of Neptune: savior, martyr, religious leader, victim, fraud, etc. The squares that Saturn makes to these planets and including the Sun, speaks volumes about his estrangement from his family and the fact that he was disowned by his father, and lost  his citizenship in Saudi Arabia. The Mars Pluto square evokes his eternal power struggle with the most powerful country in the world. He seemed to have felt he was the true savior of his people, a very Piscean delusion.

For the rest of us, a bit of an antichrist, which curiously became very active as Pluto entered Sagittarius in 1995. HE has very much represented that position of Pluto for the collective, living in caves and remaining truly invisible for all this time, and causing a lot of death, as a  true ruler of the Underworld.

He remains invisible even now, since we haven’t been able to see him dead, as the US refuses to show the pictures of his shot body.

So what are we to think? Are there enough proofs that he is dead?

This New Moon in Taurus for most of us, remind us of the magic of Taurus and its archetypes. Whenever I think of this sign, I imagine young maidens with flowers in their hair, running wild through some enchanted forest in a sensual and floaty manner.

Yet, Taurus is much less ethereal than that. Taurus likes security and beauty. Good food and wine and pleasure!

A new Moon in Taurus is a great opportunity to rethink what gives us pleasure and if we provide ourselves of it enough. An I don’t mean just sex. I mean pleasure in all its forms.

Venus finds it easy to stroll through Taurus, it’s the perfect play ground for her.

Venus, Taurus and this New Moon’s ruler is in Aries as well as Uranus, Mercury, Jupiter and Mars. We may need to look for what gives us pleasure in a more detached and forceful way. The need to seduce and be seduced is a part of our psyche which needs to be unleashed and explored, since this new Moon is in trine to Pluto. But it also makes a quincux to Saturn, so we might need to confront our physical and financial reality. Good opportunity to pay off some debts or be paid.

Our finances is a critical point of this lunation, we should pay attention to them and try to find solutions. Virgo and Capricorn will get the opportunities they needed. Look for Taurus in your birth-chart and you’ll know in which area of your life, opportunities might come.

Finally this lunation make a square to the asteroids Pallas and Vesta, which are together in Aquarius. These two are real virgins, not because they do not enjoy sex, but because they choose not to belong u obey a man.

Interesting combination!
