Welcome to Episode 9 of "Cycles of Time," where we delve into the richness of ancient celestial cycles and their profound connections to our modern lives.

In today's episode, we'll explore the enigmatic new moon in Taurus and its intriguing alignment with Human Design Gate 2, a time of surrender and receptivity. We're embracing the themes of receiving and the beauty of simply being in a world that often prioritizes relentless creation.

We will also descend into the mythic labyrinth of the Minotaur, unearthing the sacred and peaceful bull revered in early Cretan culture, which stands in stark contrast to later depictions of aggression and battle. This reflection on myth and archetype leads us into a discussion on the gentle power of Taurus, historically aligned with the spring equinox and the vibrant life force of spring.

Join me as I unpack the wisdom of the medicine wheel and the dynamic Wuxing cycle between wood and fire. We also feature insights from Dr. Jennifer Grenz' compelling book, "The Medicine Wheel for the Planet: Journey toward Personal and Ecological Healing," which challenges modern restoration ecology and invites us into a deeper communion with our environment.

We conclude with an invitation to our listeners: to pause, receive, and foster a spirit of receptivity in your own lives. Whether through walks without destinations, soaking in art, or reading without purpose, we encourage you to embrace this time of potent stillness.

So, as we navigate from the fertile darkness of the new moon to the contemplative space of Gate 2, let’s collectively attune to the rhythms of the earth and stars, welcoming the transformative energies this cycle brings. Stay tuned and join us on this journey of discovery and alignment.
