New Moon at 21 Degrees Taurus - Today 5/11 11:59am

The Moon will position itself right in front of the Sun (from our point of view), blending their energies together to mark a new cycle. The Sun will be fueling the Moon feeding directly into us Earthlings, highlighting our responsiveness, instinctual patterns & emotional, manifesting nature. Uranus is also in close proximity so unexpected shifts/happenings are possible. This New Moon is in the Sign of Taurus, Fixed 🜃 Earth, all about grounding, soothing, preservation & enjoyment. This is the time for planting seeds of longevity, immersing yourself in the nature & beauty of this world, & standing your ground. Especially after all of the excavating & weeding out we’ve been doing from the Scorpio Full Moon.

Things that may be heightened during this time include (but not limited to): physical senses, lethargy, sensuality, stubbornness, mood eating, desire to splurge, possible unexpected changes to resources/money, artistry, possessiveness, materialistic desires & comfortability.

As you align and settle into your being during this New Moon, add tangible aspects to your rituals such as tending to your plants or literally planting new seeds, utilize your crystals by adding them in your water bottle or putting them under your pillow, cook &/or share a hearty meal, get a massage, play soothing music etc. whatever is it tap into all of your practical senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch) & honor your full human experience in this physical realm.

You may find yourself wanting to take things slower & even feeling sluggish. Listen to you body & give it what it wants, pamper yourself. Take your time in whatever you do & find the enjoyment in the process. Hastiness & impatience during this time can lead to unnecessary mistakes & frustrations. If you are feeling stagnant, dig a little deeper into yourself to understand - are you actually stagnant or are you needing to stop & reflect. If it is stagnation, what is wrapped around that needing some tending to? Fear, pain, perfectionism leading to procrastination? Investigate deeper into yourself. What in you needs some tenderness &/or tough love.

The other side of this transit can show up as possessiveness, gluttony & jealousy. Tend to your own grass so you don’t even have time to focus on others. Pour into & affirm yourself so that your self worth & value comes from your core & not materials or other peoples opinions of you. Get so sure & set within, that everything outside of you becomes tools & extras you can enjoy & utilize when necessary but also let go of when they no longer serve their purpose.

Utilize this time to really hone in on your values and desires, this Taurus New Moon brings such potent physical manifestation powers, longevity is in whatever comes from this (good or bad) so take your time & focus in on the beautiful aspects of your life that you can continue to build with & on. Don’t waste a minute of this energy on anything negative unless you’re healing it!
