MINANGKABAU // matriarchal tribe in West Sumatra, Indonesia + Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Tikuluak Tanduk - Headdress worn by ladies in the tribe distinctively worn to showcase their tribe’s culture history connected to water buffalo. Derive from 2 words
Minang // Victorious
Kabau // Water Buffalo
The Minangkabaus are known for their successful trading & entrepreneurial skills and continue to strive until present day both in Malaysia and Indonesia. The Taurus season reminds me of Minangkabau culture & history.
WELCOME TO TAURUS SEASON
I have had THE WEEK. What is going on in the sphere?
Astrological action: May 15 - 21
Jupiter entered Taurus 16th of May
New Moon eclipse May 19th
Who is this Jupiter person? Jupiter is the planet that represent expansion, materials, achievements, good fortune. In Chinese Astrology Tai Sui or Jupiter’s placement is the first location to check when doing a prediction as this placement is considered crucial to ensure life’s choices and stability. Where is your fortune?
As the natural rotation of zodiac rotates and yours ends up in the opposition to Jupiter? You would have to appease to him by doing offerings or getting a Feng Shui person to guide around the obstacle.
“On the 8th day of the first lunar month is an important time to pray to Fan Tai Sui. This is because the 8th day is believed to be when the God of the Year arrives and begins to exert its influence on the world” (article written by The Chinese Zodiac.org)
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the enchanting planet that governs love, beauty, and money. When Jupiter is in Taurus, it prospers ..it flows. The BULL (Taurus) graces the meadows and enjoys serenity. Earth bound Taurean’s connects to all qualities related to feeling grounded, solid & wealth.
I have been a little quiet lately because I have been facing my worse nightmare - getting a Driver’s licence…. OMFG. I am deeply rooted in not owning too many things except what i have in my head (knowledge) & on my body (materials), I feel all the problems we have comes from the things we have. I battle with that all the time.
I have travelled the world and lived in many countries and have had crazy experiences without having a car, house or anything fancy. I have made a living out of being ME. The current situation with the war, I thought the license fit in very well. I’ll do it for Putin’s sake. I have been having deep convo with myself and here’s what happen
May 8th I failed 1st Kunskap / Theori Test
May 9th I failed 2nd time
May 12th I passed
Then I realised my Swedish understanding is super poor + I am not good with exams so I chose to do the 3rd one in English, gave myself space & I actually studied // another MIRACLE. During this entire time I started losing hair & no sleep 0-0. I thought to myself this is really hard and it is stressing me out. I had to study everything all over again in English and prep for the worse. Deep breath I went in, qued like a cow in the slaughter house, sweat dripped down my back, my face flushed. I look a very red rat.
1 was given desk #3 … I am suddenly hopeful. 3 is the number of expansion and growth, I thought to myself … I might actually pass. To my surprise I finished it under 25mins, went back & re checked my answers and found 3 mistakes and finished it 3 mins before time & I passed. I passed exactly 52 (70 Q & passing mark is 52) it’s MIRACLE!
3 is a magic number ….. YES it is!! REJOICE! So now I have to pass the driving test. I due on May 17th at 8.15am
