Your values speak before you do

BY GARCIA AKUA

Peace, love and light family. I hope Taurus season has been treating you well. Venus governs Taurus season, it’s a time of self-love, pleasure and luxury. It is also a season of values and self worth; Taurus also influences our finances and material possessions.

We celebrated Mother’s Day, last weekend as well, which is fitting with the fertile energy this season brings. Mothers are the epitome of Divine Feminine energy. They take a seed (sperm) and turn it into life. The fruit they bear in us continues to bear fruit for others. Mother or not, we are all being called to plant seeds in this season to bear fruit not just for ourselves but the collective as a whole.

What we plant will be based on our values. Last year around this time, I had advised many of my clients to focus on home/family dynamics, stacking up on resources and budgeting accordingly. We were new to the pandemic restrictions with many itching to go back to a form of normalcy. Fast-forward a year later, many businesses have been forced to shut down, many have lost jobs and many relationships have broken down. In these uncertain times, your only certainty is you. When I was saying secure the bag, you are the bag.

Our values impact our lives a lot more than many think. If you value keeping up with the Joneses you might get left behind. This further hits your self-esteem and affects your self-worth. When you value yourself and your own goals, you only have to keep up with you. You set goals that are beneficial to your self-growth and worth.

Kale may be trending but does that mean we plant a field of only kale? What does your body need? What does your spirit need? What does your family need?  Focus on that. As we get closer to Gemini season, the voices will get louder. Gemini is all about communication. It’s time to get clear on what your needs are, what your values are, and then communicate those needs with people that can support your growth.

There is a great divide happening in society right now. As the current system undergoes major changes, which are highlighted now with Pluto retrograde, many are still fighting to hold on to the old way of doing things and will do anything to keep up with what’s trending, but to what cost?

We have a New Moon in Taurus on May 11^th; this gives us an opportunity to plant new seeds and goals that reflect our values.  What are you planting for emotional, spiritual and financial security?  What are you hoping to grow for you and your household?  What will your values say about you six months from now, a year from now?

You are the bag, you are the most luxurious bag you have, secure yourself. Retrograde season will also intensify at the end of this month. It will be a period of going within and reflecting our boundaries, cycles that need to end and how we reclaim our power.  Our values will heavily impact how we move through these transits.

We have an amazing opportunity for deep healing which results in a healthy harvest. We can listen to everyone else’s noise, needs and plant confusion. Or we can get still, get grounded, go within and plant what we need to maintain and sustain our own ideas of luxury.  It will all come down to your values.  What are your values saying about you?
