This reminds me of the artwork of The Empress tarot card. The Empress isn't running around all ragged and stressed out. She is in the receptive state- She is fertile by her nature. Her state of mind generates harmony with her surroundings and abundance is hers!

I know this pandemic has most of us locked up inside longing for the hustle and bustle that once was. But really if we embrace the Mystic's perspective during this time... we would see that this is really the perfect time for us to slow down and really prioritize ourselves and our pleasure. Since, the New Moon in Taurus. We find ourselves slowing down and aligning with the art of cultivating pleasure, especially the simple pleasures in life. So go ahead and take that long 3 hour bath, read that book you haven't gotten to yet, sleep until noon (if you can) or just sit outside and listen. Whatever makes you happy! This is your time for you!

The Spirit of Bees / New Moon in Taurus / The Pleasure Moon

How many of us step outside and freeze when we hear that deep buzzing sound anywhere near us? How many of us overlook the significance and symbolism of bees because of the fear of being stung? But did you know that bees are a symbol of Pleasure? The bee is the reminder to extract the honey of life and to make our lives fertile while the sun shines.

For me, this spring I have been obsessed with bees for some uncanny reason. My uncanny bee obsession has lead me to buying bee jewelry, making a bee purse, being tempted in buying many bee printed t-shirts lol, and actually being gifted bee candle molds (which I adore!). Like, I know bees are great for gardening and making delicious honey and I know we need them or the Earth would literally die, but I honestly never really took the time to look at them on a deeper level...until now.

"Bees have been mythical symbols throughout the world. In Hinduism, depending upon how depicted, the bee could relate to Vishnu, Krishna, or even Kama, the god of love. In Egypt it denoted royalty. In Greece, it was used in the symbology of the Eleusinian Mysteries, and the Celts associated it with hidden wisdom. Probably the most significant and consistent symbolism is that of sexuality and fertility, due primarily to its stinger and its part in pollination. Bees are also long-time symbols for accomplishing the impossible.

For many years, scientists were unable to determine how bees were able to fly. Aerodynamically, the body was too large for the wings. It has only been in more recent times that science has determined that bees move their wings at such a high rate of speed that it makes flight possible. Still, it remains to many as a symbol of accomplishing quests that appeared to be impossible. All bees are essentially “honey” bees. They gather and pollinate. Bees are often considered the busiest and most useful of insects. Without them, no flowers and many fruits would never blossom. It occurs through the pollination. As the bees land upon one flower, collecting its nectar, pollen also attaches itself to the leg fibers. It is then transferred to other flowers, creating a fertilization process. Pollination is just one productive process the bee participates in. It also furnishes food, i.e. honey, and it also preys on other insects, helping to keep the insect population in balance. Bees that build their homes in the ground help turn over the soil, often much better than the earthworm itself.

If a bee has shown up in your life, examine your own productivity. Are you doing all you can to make your life more fertile? Are you busy enough? Are you taking time to savor the honey of your endeavors or are you being a workaholic? Are you attempting to do too much? Are you keeping your desires in check so they can be more productive? The legs of bees are one of their most sensitive organs. A bee actually tastes through its legs. It is able to determine if there is nectar in the flower it lands upon. Are you taking time to enjoy the labors and activities you involve yourself in?

The bee helps remind us that activities are more productive and sweeter if we take time to enjoy them. The stinger is often seen as a phallic symbol. Most bees only sting once. There is a barb attached to the stinger, which pulls the stinger off when used. The queen can sting more than once, but it only fights when another queen is born. Most bees have organized communities. This is most evident in the bumblebee family. There are the queen, the drones, and the workers. The first brood the queen lays become workers, and they take over the building and maintenance of the nest. Bees, like ants, are excellent builders. The honeycombs are constructed in a six-sided shape, called a hexagon. This geometric shape has had long mystical significance associated with it. It is a symbol of the heart and the sweetness of life found within our own hearts. It is a symbol of the sun and all the energies associated with it.

The bee is the reminder to extract the honey of life and to make our lives fertile while the sun shines. The bee reminds us that no matter how great the dream there is the promise of fulfillment if we pursue it. The elixir of life is as sweet as honey, and the bee is a symbol that promises us that the opportunity to drink of it is ours if we but pursue our dreams." - Animal Speak by: Ted Andrews

The bee symbolism in your life is not all about work. This spirit guide wants you to appreciate the importance of the pleasure of leisure. After a hard day’s job, you need to sit back to relish the victory.

So, maybe next time when you hear that buzzing or see a little bee flying flower to flower remember that you deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labor. If there’s anyone who should enjoy the little pleasures of life, that person is you!
