Happy New Moon in Taurus, my sweet babes!
New Moons are a time of beginnings, a time of fresh starts. They are a period of welcoming in fresh energy so that we can continue stepping into our dream life. New moons are powerful times of manifestation – of calling in change or anything that will serve us in our most authentic selves right now. This is a Super New Moon, meaning that this new moon is happening closer to the Earth than usual. This brings even more potency to fresh starts and beginnings. Emotions and feelings can feel a little stronger than usual. Can you feel the magic in the air?
This New Moon officially closes the eclipse portal that we have been in since March 14. Enjoy the clarity that comes with the planets being in direct alignment right now.
Taurus season is upon us -a season of delighting our taste buds, deepening our trust within ourselves, moving slowly, and nurturing our creative side. Taurus is known as a sensual sign, as they move slowly the world, appreciating all around them.
Taurus, a fixed, earthy sign, is a sign all about developing our relationship with ourselves, including our emotional side, our physical bodies, and our sexuality. This is the second sign in the zodiac wheel, signifying awareness between emotional states and physical sensations.
Bulls love the finer things in life, both materialistically and spiritually. They pay attention to the small details – including in their home, their actions, and what they eat and drink. While they can be incredibly stubborn and hard in their ways, bulls are also loyal to their people and are very ambitious.
This new moon, consider how you might slow down in your life. Are there times where you are doing three (or even five) things at the same time? While it may feel impressive to juggle as much as you can, consider how it might feel to slow down and do one thing at a time. Cook with a more relaxed feel – give yourself time to put the meal together. Eat without the TV playing to truly savor every single bite. Watch a show with your phone out of the room so you aren’t tempted to look at it. Wake up ten minutes early to luxuriously stretch and move about in bed instead of jumping up. Slow down and appreciate all that is around you. Go for a walk simply just to look around you – without music playing, or without an agenda to get somewhere.
Taurus is a grounded sign – inviting us to slow down, return to our roots, and be present with the moment and our emotions. Reconnect with the earth around you – with the signs of spring and the natural world coming alive. Delight in your senses – look at all the colors surrounding you, feel the warmth against your skin, the grass beneath your bare feet, and the coolness of the night air. Slow down and delight at the same time – and feel how easy it is to be present in the moment when you do this.
Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, Taurus is a sensual sign. This earthy sign loves comfort and the finer things, as well as being in love, creating beauty around them, and being in touch with one’s sexuality. How is your sexual relationship to yourself? How comfortable are you with expressing and embracing your sensual side? This season, encourage yourself to deepen your relationship with this side as well. Take long showers – soap your body all over and tell yourself and every single part of your body how much you love yourself. Look in the mirror – make eye contact – and tell yourself how beautiful you are. Deepen this intimate relationship and watch your magic expand in all aspects of your life.
Taurus is a sign all about comfort and security – use this energy to redefine what security means in your life while also letting go of control and trusting yourself. How can you deepen you connection within yourself, trust your intuition, so that you can learn to let go?
Use all this loving energy with yourself to continue stepping into your dream life. What are you feeling inspired to call in right now? How can you incorporate more luxury into your life? Remember, rituals are luxury. Putting a slice of lemon in your water feels like luxury. Lighting a candle when you wash a face gives it more of a spa feel. There are lots of ways to increase luxury with what we already have surrounding us. Slow down and notice what you have – and what can happen with a few minutes of effort.
ALIGNED ACTION
Gift yourself some time to slow down. Whether this is a full day, an afternoon, or even an hour. Gift yourself the time and space to truly slow down and move about your space slowly - or to go for a walk with no agenda. Start your day with a few extra minutes to read in bed, stretch, eat breakfast. Even if this means setting your alarm earlier - what a gift to treat yourself to the morning. Spend the day without an agenda, without plans, and treat yourself as much as you can. This does not need to mean with money - but instead, with drinking delicious water, putting our your favorite fancy outfit (just because), making tea, lighting a candle, reading your favorite book, going for a walk with a friend. Get ready for bed luxuriously - put on the playlist you want to listen to, put your phone away, wash your face with more time than normal. Whatever your gift is of slowing down to yourself - practice it. Try it out. Note how you feel. Note the luxury that surrounds you with staying present and focusing on just one or two things at a time.
