New Moon in Taurus: Time to Begin (Again)

Apologies for the delay. I was finishing up a five-day "retreat" and re-emerging into the world on the 19th, and the re-emergence was much more intense than I had anticipated! I have a free moment to post now, and the vibe is still present. So, Onward!

The Taurus New Moon arrived on the 19th. The energy here is markedly different than the Aries New Moon: where Aries is a jolt of energy perfect for a sprint, Taurus is a time release best suited for a marathon. Projects started with this energy tend to have legs and stability and deliver returns over longer intervals of time. This new moon is a perfect time to begin anew - or begin again.

If we continue the theme of the Passion Project, which we started last month, we zeroed in on a passion project with the new moon and cleared away obstacles around it by the light of the full moon, once the eclipse had passed. Now we commit to implementing our passion project, and consider some of the other Astrology surrounding this moment...

The Sun has moved into Gemini, which sparkles with curiosity. We are encouraged not to jump in to the deep end feet first, but to research, to experiment, to play: how can we best express ourselves in our passion projects? Which is the better foot to put forward to begin the journey?

Action planet Mars has just entered Leo. Here, the image is of the Decorated Warrior, someone recognized for fighting and living to tell the tale. Where Mars in Leo may have good advice, his feathers can get ruffled if he feels that advice is not taken seriously. 

Lingering in the background is Pluto's retrograde journey. Fears and hesitations that might have been missed in our previous investigations might come to the surface, whispering what-ifs at the edge of our awareness. When those whispers become too distracting, leaning into the stability of Taurus and the inquisitiveness of Gemini (Earth and Air signs, respectively) will help calm the fears and return the focus to the present moment. 

Momentum is on our side as well, as we move closer to Litha, the Solstice, in mid-June (the global north's Midsummer Sabbat). If we take a chance to put up our sails, we just might find them filling with the ocean breeze and be sent upon our journey for the (rest of) the year, where the New meets the Now.

An opportunity for the New to meet the Now will be on the first weekend of June, with the Intuitive Oracular Reading for the month! Watch this space for the reveal...
