New Moon in Taurus: On the Precipice of Change

Tomorrow night we are having a New Moon in Taurus. Taurus is an earth sign, so how appropriate that it's Earth Day as well! 

We have been through so much lately, life has been weird and the astrology harsh. This New Moon offers an energy of reset. A fresh energy for the month ahead. It's time to find new stability with where you're at. To build new foundations. To plant new seeds. It's time to have a fresh start where you enjoy life and feel good about yourself. Taurus is about sensuality; the senses. Taking things a bit slowly in a way and enjoying them. It's about value and self-worth. So for this re-fresh besides finding new stability and building new foundations, find new ways to feel good. Decide to start a new cycle of greater self-worth. It could be a new cycle where your values are different and new. 

This New Moon is caught between two major aspects. The first is that it's moving away from a square with Saturn in Aquarius that the Sun had formed exact a couple days prior and moving towards a conjunction with Uranus the Sun will make in a few days. We're moving away from restriction and into change. The sense of restriction could still feel present. Reality and structures are different with Saturn in Aquarius. You may have recently felt quite constrained by them. Yet, you must find new stability, foundations, self-worth and just a sense of feeling good within these circumstances because things are about to change! Perhaps quite unexpectedly with the conjunction to Uranus approaching. Things could feel restricted or stagnant, but they most definitely are not and the winds of change shall be blowing through. 

New Moon in Taurus 🌱

Since March 20th we've been dealing with some interesting lunar cycles what with two Full Moons in Libra. Relationships and our own independence and identity have been front and center. People were dealing with so many different scenarios and turning points. Now that phase has come to an end and we have reached a point where we can start fresh with this New Moon in Taurus on May 4th ( at 3:45 PM PST). 

New Moons represent a time where we can plant seeds and really start fresh. The New Moon in Taurus in the northern hemisphere seems to have an extra emphasis on starting fresh since it takes place during the height of spring right after May Day. With the fertile earthy energy of Taurus we can really ground in new energy in our realities. It's prime time to manifest what we'd like in our physical lives. 

During the last month or so we may have ended some phases that weren't right for us, had some realizations about what we'd like in relationships (both romantic and otherwise) and made significant discoveries about our personal journeys and identities. Perhaps we feel clearer about what we want or perhaps some things are still being revealed. Regardless, now we can start fresh in a way. 

This energy could impact any area of your life depending on your personal chart. Since Taurus is a physical sign however this is of course a good time for tangible new beginnings related to work, finances etc. Taurus has to do with the foundations of your physical world. Since we've been dealing with lots of relationship energy and Taurus is ruled by Venus there can definitely be new beginnings in love. Venus is in Aries right now and with Venus being the first sign in the zodiac, I'd say there is definitely a lot of new, fresh energy in that department. Also, with Venus in Aries our relationship to our own selves and our independence is of the utmost importance. We may have new beginnings in terms of how good we feel within our own identities and self-worth. Also, with any new beginnings in relationships we are going to want ones where our own selves are honored. Where two individuals can share, but never give up their own selves. 

While the New Moon isn't exactly aspecting all the Capricorn energy, it's flowing with it quite nicely. This really shows that we are really able to ground new things into our realties and create new structures at this time. There's been lots of changes and old things falling away, now we get to start building the new. 

~It's so nice to be at this New Moon phase. Spring is in full swing and just like the flowers, we can start to see new things blooming in our lives. It's a fertile and fresh time. ~

New Moon in Taurus the Same Day Uranus Moves into Taurus!!!

Tomorrow (May 15th 2018 ) we have a New Moon in Taurus! New Moons are the time of fresh starts every month. This one is particularly significant though because it's happening the same day Uranus is changing signs. Uranus was in Aries since 2010 and now it's moving into Taurus till 2026. We're wrapping up a big cycle and with the New Moon we are starting a new one! Change is in the air! It could be unexpected as well. 

✨We have a New Moon in Taurus every year, although the circumstances around it are always different. This year is very intense! Let's talk about the Taurus energy in general though.✨

 Taurus is the first earth sign of the zodiac. With this New Moon we are taking a look at our material/physical worlds. What would you like to manifest in your world? Aries says 'I am' while Taurus says 'I want' and 'I have". Well what do you want?/ What do you want to have? What do you want to do with the stuff, situations, relationships, jobs, talents etc. that you already have in your life?

Taurus represents what you own. It's like opening up your closet and looking at what you have in there. What can you do with the things you already have? What things would you like to see added in there? What things perhaps need to change and just don't fit you anymore? 

Taurus is the sign that represents finances. Your finances could be an area of focus at this time. How would you like your financial situation to look? What would you like to manifest in that area? How can you live a more abundant lifestyle? 

Taurus is your body as well. Perhaps you would like to start something new that would be better for your body. Taurus is ruled by Venus. There's a focus on beauty and pleasure. Perhaps you change something up that makes you feel more beautiful. Perhaps it's just changing your mind set to think of yourself as beautiful. Our self worth is something we own too. Do you have good self worth? Or is it something you need to work on at this time? Pleasure wise it could be time to start something new too. Good time to make it a point to pamper your body more. To feed it healthy delicious foods. To perhaps change something up sexually. 

Taurus is also about what you value. Perhaps your values are changing. You should decide at this time what it is you value and therefore what you want in your earthly existence. Decide what kind of life would be in alignment with your values, that would make you feel stable, yet give you pleasure as well. 

⭐Uranus Going Into Taurus The Same Day!⭐

It's quite a big deal that Uranus changes signs the same day as the New Moon. This New Moon isn't just setting a tone for the next month, it's starting to set a tone for a cycle lasting until 2026. All the Taurus things talked about already you shouldn't just question for the short term, but for the long term. I want to talk about the specifics of Uranus in Taurus in a separate blog post seeing as how it's a big deal, so look out for that! What you need to know at this time is that change is here. Unexpected things could happen around this New Moon. Taurus is a stable sign that does not like change! You could use Taurus's stability to help you out at this time of change with finding inner stability. Although many may be digging in and hanging on for their lives. Of course it would be easier to just go with this electrical new Uranian energy. We are all human though. It's tough to let go of things. Just know that your world may be rocked a bit. 

New Moon in Taurus: Time to Lay a Foundation

On April 26th 2017 (5:16 AM PST) there will be a New Moon in Taurus. Slow and steady will be the theme with this one as Mercury is still retrograde. 

As the Moon wanes we might be more contemplative and reclusive than usual. Then once the Moon hits that dark New Moon point it's time to plant your seeds and watch the new beginnings bloom in your life. Of course this New Moon we have to take it slow because Mercury is still retrograde. We can still get the ball rolling however for when it does go direct. 

With the New Moon in Taurus it's a great time to really build some foundations in your life and to plan for the things you would like to create. Taurus is very grounded in the material plane as a fixed earth sign, so perhaps there may be some new beginnings coming to fruition for some people in the material plane. Venus rules Taurus, so now that Venus is direct there could be some new beginnings in the relationship stories that have been unfolding and affecting everyone differently. 

Around the New Moon there are a couple aspects to note. One is that Mercury is about to conjunct Uranus. This may bring some unexpected things to the table as you are trying to build new things into your life. Unexpected bits of information could surface that could change the direction you go in. This could have to do with something from the past since Mercury is in retrograde. 

The second aspect is a square between Chiron and Saturn. This may bring with it some vulnerability and sensitivity. Some people may be feeling hurt as some wounds resurface. This could also make some people feel lonely or isolated. Saturn keeps squaring planets lately and bringing up that kind of feeling. So there is just a need to acknowledge that and work through it and try to deal with our wounds as they come up. Healing our wounds is an important part of building a foundation for wonderful things in our life during this New Moon phase.

~New beginnings are right around the corner in our lives. We've been dealing with some intense retrograde energy since March and once May hits we will finally be able to move forward. This New Moon is what gets the ball rolling. It's time to lay the foundations for what we would like to see in our lives. ~

New Moon in Taurus: Stability, Pleasure and Manifestation

On May 17th 2015 at 9:13 PM (PST) there will be a New Moon in Taurus. This will be a rather calm New Moon as there is not a whole lot going on around it. 

New Moons are times of new beginnings. They are like a ray of sunshine after Full Moons, which are usually intense. The last Full Moon we had was in Scorpio and it was particularly intense. It was all about releasing deep-seated issues and transforming. Now that that's over the New Moon in Taurus will help us regain some stability in our lives. We can plant the seeds of what we would like in our lives and watch them grow as this is a great time to manifest. 

Taurus is ruled by Venus the planet of love and pleasure. This means that this New Moon you may feel the love that is all around you and you may want to partake in some material and physical pleasures. This is a good time to enjoy good food, spend time with a loved one,  go on long walks, take naps in the sun or tend to your garden if you have one. This New Moon is basically really pleasant and you can sit back and enjoy yourself. Mercury turns retrograde the day after the New Moon, so communication could get a bit weird. If you take it slow, which is easy to do when there is Taurus energy, you should be able to enjoy yourself and not be too affected by the slow communication. 

Overall this is a lovely New Moon, so take advantage! Let yourself enjoy the pleasures that life has to offer, let yourself find some stability in your life, and plant the seeds of what you would like to manifest in your life during this New Moon.
