Austin Coppock refers to the image of the key as the key to success itself but reframes success as the marriage of discipline and passion. Taurus II is a decan of balance, abundance and generative union: the fertilisation of land and the harvest that follows, the key and lock that open the door to beyond. With abundance comes stability, and here we find the fixed decan of the fixed earth sign. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTiming is intrinsic to this face. The Horae or “Hours” are the presiding deities of Taurus II. They are guardians of the gates to Olympus, responsible for the turning of seasons, time and the cycles of all things. Placements in this decan do well to be guided by the notion that there is a time for everything. Attuning to cyclical time is a profound way to reap an abundant harvest. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMultiple sources speak to the ripeness of a moment, to seed both earth and womb we have to be in tune with the moment of a cycle (the seasons\/the ovulation window). Taurus II is supported by the Horai in its ability to find and meet these moments. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThis attunement to cycles is further supported by the co-rulers of the decan; the moon and mercury. As the two fastest moving planets, the moon is the representative of cyclical time and, as Kyra Ryberg puts it, mercury in their retrograde cycle teaches us the value of slowing down to move forward. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe images for this face are full of euphemisms, the key being one of them. Beyond sex, there is a sensuality to this decan. Abundance endows us with stability, and stability grants more spaciousness for our sensuality. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe tarot card for this decan is the 6 of Pentacles which depicts a benevolent man sharing his resources with others. Balance is depicted in the generosity of someone sharing their resources, knowledge and success. The movement from Taurus I to II is a reminder that in this life we will all occupy positions of both giver \u0026amp; receiver.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e_____\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTaurus II talisman is made of brass and sterling silver with a moonstone, consecrated during the moons hour. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eStrung on 18in. sterling silver chain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"muddied hands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48269924434142,"sku":null,"price":440.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/3227\/4398\/files\/0B13EE98-61AC-4E53-8439-053376FDB041.jpg?v=1779313442","url":"https:\/\/muddiedhands.com\/products\/taurus-ii","provider":"muddied hands","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
