This new moon falls in earth sign Taurus, arriving halfway through lovely Taurus Season.

Visualize a dwelling deep in the woods, surrounded by towering, feathery ferns; brilliant fruits; air thick with birdsong; cactus growing into the sky. This is the home of the sacred cow. Taurus nurtures, nests, and feeds. She is the great cosmic goddess of greenery, tending to all life on earth.

Aries season asked us to sketch an outline for the coming year. Ready or not, we have chosen a direction, a faint trail to follow. The New Moon in Taurus is here to build on that foundation. Taurus represents all that is solid and dependable.

How’s the ground beneath your feet?

Fears around lack/scarcity will be triggered by this new moon. Taurus is about value and quality of life. What makes you feel rich, but not in a material sense? It’s true that finance is central to the archetype of Taurus, but we need to look instead at expenditures of time and energy. How can we be wiser with energetic investments?

Other questions to meditate on: are you feeling secure in your home space / domestic life? Are your basic needs taken care of? Are you attracting abundance or scarcity with your thought patterns?

This new moon 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 needs? Listen more closely to internal rhythms. Strike a balance between movement and stillness, work and relaxation.

New moons can make us feel tired, and this is especially true with Taurus. Spend the day outside, surrounded by plants. Most of all, take realllyyy good care of yourself <3

Great news: this new moon will form a supportive sextile to Saturn in Pisces. Saturn’s influence is grounding and stabilizing, very similar to Taurus. His presence indicates that we’re thinking longterm with our plans. Financial and professional success coming our way.

I wish you dreamy, relaxed vibes. 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.
