Contrary to the doom-posters, what faces us now is not famine versus abundance.
No, that would be too easy. “Just do this one weird trick and you’ll be inflation-proof.”
What we’re immersing ourselves in is a deeper spiritual test.
This solar eclipse in Taurus is the struggle between “great”—and “good enough.”
How crazy is that?
You can have success—almost fall ass-backwards right into it. But does that really hit your sweet tooth or is that just settling for a Hostess fruit pie copped at 2AM from the corner store?
The reason that people settle is two-fold. First, inertia. We’re going to dive into the inertia of habits a lot here.
But the additional reason—which feeds that personal inertia—is that we subscribe to collective definitions of success. This breeds fear of failure. A journey never begins.
If everyone is just gorging on Hostess fruit pies while proclaiming there’s about to be a global sugar shortage, of course you pimp out your own values and succumb, succumb, succumb.
Because when that sugar is rushing through your veins, all you can think is you got a hit of sweetness, thank God you’re not left out in the cold.
You got yours.
Oh...but did you?
Maybe you got a template, a cardboard cut-out version of pleasure. This is known as a simulacrum. A pre-fabricated pleasure that has no concern whether fruit pies are you most favorite thing in the world or not.
You could’ve discovered your own Land of Fruit and Plenty—a cornucopia designed just for you, like a soulmate breathed into life by God Himself. Plucked sweetness straight from the source, fresher than fresh, no middleman needed.
But you went for “good enough” instead of sweating it out for “great.”
And all it would’ve taken was a little self-validation of your own path. Not some Herculean labor. You only had to break through inertia and silence that little voice persuading you to outsource personal definitions of success.
You just had to give “new” and “different” a chance. Just a tiny bit of sweat equity for major dividends.
Ready to find your abundance for this eclipse? Ok, let’s dive in and explore this theme.
Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste
Our old conceptions of plenty and abundance are going out the window during this eclipse.
Which is to say: if you don’t roll with the change, then the change will come for you.
Maybe you’ll even get certain things “taken” from you. You’ll realize you can walk this garden of forking paths rather than be like a sitting duck, hit with a disruptive crisis.
That’s really what’s at issue here. Taurus is stable, it deals with worth. Typically a lot of Taurus in a chart would indicate a dependable slow earner. It is not a wasteful energy. Quality over quantity.
But Ouranos—the planet of epiphanies and emergent crises—is in Taurus now, and dead fused with this eclipse.
Crisis is coming for all of our dependable habits, showing us where a “good thing” can become inertia. And by embracing breakthrough change, we can see “greatness” take the place of old sentimental habits.
Never let a crisis go to waste—isn’t that what Taurus would really do?
Let go of attachments to that sunny field you’re sitting in, Taurus bull. Enjoy the process of change, wandering from one clover patch to another.
Find the freshest of the fresh, if you can simply get over the ego enough to budge.
So much of our conceptions of success are inherited. We think we’re being true to ourselves by not budging, but really we’re digging our heels in on ground that’s not really even ours. It’s some group consensus of what constitutes “the sweetest thing.”
There’s truly nothing finer than saying, “This is fully me and mine, this is MY patch in the Sun.”
Half measures don’t really work in this process. You’re either in or you’re out. Just dipping a single toe into that cool clover bed isn’t going to bring you greatness and abundance. You have to go investigate, at the very least, before you go back to the tried and true.
You know why? Because that inertia is going to feed your hesitation. You’ll focus on the errors and not all the base hits you’re getting.
Folks, we’re trying to go on a hero’s adventure—not a half-assed Sunday drive!
“Nom nom nom, yes, my homemade lemon poppyseed muffin is incredible…but it just doesn’t hit the same as those old fruit pies down at the store we used to go to…what a crisis this is!”
Embrace the crisis. It can put your eyes on uncanny abundance—an experience you’d never have unless you looked farther afield and took the plunge.
It’s not about taking old things for granted. Or punishing yourself in some weird way with: “You never know what you’ve got until it’s gone.”
This is about not getting hung up on the ghost of failure. You cannot receive abundance when you’re thinking, “This experiment didn’t go the way I expected, why did I ever try anything different?”
Let’s keep going.
Sugar Rush
Above the gates to a better land, there’s a flag with this motto: momentum comes in many flavors.
This is how freedom works: you go out and take it for yourself.
You could stay rigid enough to accomplish everything you want to, in a single-minded way, but if you surrender to the flow of abundance, success can unfold even more easily.
We don’t always know the full range of our palette. That’s the beauty of being an individual. How sweet does a new dessert taste until you actually place it on the tongue?
Imagination is no match for experience in this case.
“Oh my gosh, walnut cherry chocolate was my true favorite flavor the whole time…and I never knew, until I tried it, because I thought I’d go my whole life being Mr. Vanilla! What a rush!”
Again, this isn’t just an excuse to let your freak flag fly for a weekend. This is about the power of contrast. Even if you go back to being a veteran vanilla connoisseur, you can embrace this desire more fully after taking a walk on the wild side.
Subverting our built-in prejudices is hard work, but it’s so simple at the same time. And for better or worse, we now live in an age when the common man is going to be woken up to experiences outside his own bubble. World gone mad.
So, again: ride the chaos.
That’s the funny thing about this eclipse. Our palette, our experience of pleasure is so intangible—but we root it so much to the tangible object, or tangible goals like fame.
How much freedom, how much wealth can we feed ourselves with when we honor and focus on the intangible gains we make?
Gains upon gains, kicked off by a voyage of self-experimentation and discovery.
Welcome to the new Land of Fruit and Plenty, friends. It’s about to be a very interesting spring and summer.
