Recently we had TWO new moons in Aries, astrological new year x2. This upcoming new moon is in earth sign Taurus, arriving at the end of yet another lovely Taurus Season.

Visualize a dwelling deep in the woods. Leafy green vegetation; brilliant fruits; a cacophony of birdsong; tranquility. This is the home of the sacred cow.

Aries season asks us to do, create, move. As a result, some cosmic sketch takes form for the coming year. Ready or not, we have chosen a direction, an outline, a hint of a trail to follow. The New Moon in Taurus is here to build it, to solidify the intention. Everything about Taurus is solid and dependable. She nurtures, waters, and feeds. She is the Great Cosmic Mother, tending to all living organisms on earth.

New moons can make us feel tired, and this is especially true with Taurus. The bull holds us close in flowery landscapes, yet something stagnant lingers. The best thing to do is channel this earth energy directly into our homes and bodies. It’s essential that we enjoy being in our home space. Meditate on art, aesthetic, comfort, harmony.

Fears around lack and scarcity may be triggered by this new moon. Taurus is all about security, value, quality. What makes you feel rich, and not just in a material sense? It’s true that finance is central to the archetype of Taurus, but let’s take a closer look at expenditures of time and energy too. How can we be wiser and more efficient with energetic investments?

This moon phases also brings attention to food and nutrition. It’s time to reflect on our diet and body clock. Are you giving your body what it really needs? Listen deeply to the rhythm of your body. Strike a balance between movement and stillness, work and udder ;) relaxation.

Take realllyyy good care of yourself before and after this new moon to avoid Taurus pitfalls like feeling super lethargic or unmotivated. This is especially important because this moon phase will form a friendly (but very very sleepy) sextile to Mars in Cancer.

I wish you dreamy, relaxed vibes. Get creative. Pick up a pen and draw yourself in your dream home, or hanging from a tree in the rainforest. Take long walks, play in the dirt, lay in the grass, watch the clouds. In meditation, focus on the heart chakra. Savor the moment with Taurus Yoga. To find your personal moon sign, click here.
