Happy New Moon in Taurus!
New moons are a delicious time of fresh beginnings. They feel like big, deep belly breaths as you walk through doors of opportunity. It may feel easier to try something new during this time, without the weight of the past holding you back. Lean into the energetics of anything is possible - because it truly is.
As this new moon is in Taurus, the energy is all about connecting inward. The fast pace and rush of springtime is surrounding us, making us feel like it’s go time. Longer days and shorter nights are so fun and fleeting and wonderful - remember that it is important to take care of yourself, first and foremost. Earthy Taurus reminds us to ground down, plant our feet in soil, and listen. Listen to the roots that will connect us to our roots within.
Turning inward and learning what an authentic yes feels like is the best way to welcome in more aligned opportunities. It shows the universe that you know what you are willing to spend your precious time on and why you want to pour love into it.
The way that we can reach our goals and dream life is to be connected with our intuition. You will grow and expand in the fastest (and the most sustainable) way by connecting with yourself internally. Ground down as you continue to level up your life.
Taurus is all about nurturing yourself. Ruled by Venus, Taurus season encourages us to indulge the senses and to treat yourself like the royalty you are. Notice every sensation and what you can do to make it even more beautiful for yourself. How can you find more delight as you move through your day? Remember that the human experience is about experiencing. You deserve to savor that piece of chocolate a little bit longer. Gasp as you step into freezing creek and feel the shock radiate upwards. Feel the soil between your toes, the grass beneath your feet. Enjoy the first glass of water in the morning and notice how it travels through you, waking up your entire body. Slow down and pay attention to all the details happening around you.
Nourish your inner world. Tend to it like you would tend to the most beautiful garden. Revel in the flowers. Lay in the grass. What can you water so that new flowers (opportunities) can pop up?
Remember that beautiful flowers start as tiny seeds below the surface. A lot of growth happens before the world starts to see even the tiniest bit of new life pop up. The magic of growing, pushing, expanding and contracting is always there.
ALIGNED ACTION
Devote a day to the senses. As you move about your day, notice as much as you can. The delicious first stretch in the morning. The feel of your favorite mug in your hand. The laughter of a stranger. The wind on your face and the warm hug that is your car after it has been soaking up the sun. Life is art, and the way you choose to experience life is art. Practice setting up more aesthetics for yourself to enjoy. See what comes from putting more magic into the details. This might be sending a text to a friend when they pop into your mind. ‘I’m thinking about you.’ It might be baking a fruity, delicious treat just because you wanted dessert for breakfast. It might be going for a walk and exclaiming over all the beauty you see, whether urban or rural. Stop and smell all the lilacs. Notice how the day felt different at the end, when you slowed down enough to experience.

What is one way I can notice more of the world around me?
What door do I want to open in my life? Check in with yourself. Are you sure it’s not open right now?
as always, thank you to the Moon for giving us guidance and clarity throughout our life.
