Welcome to New Moon in Taurus. Taurus is the sign of the bull, so you can probably guess what some of its’ characteristics are.
Bulls are known for standing their ground. They have four feet firmly planted. They often have resistance to change, fear change and may have a lack of trust.
Four feet means that they are well grounded and earth bound. They enjoy the earthly pleasures provided by the senses. Physical comfort is important. Having a massage, wearing cashmere or silk, using fragrant oils would appeal to Taurus.
People born under this sign either have or need to develop (are developing) a strong sense of self-worth. Setting boundaries, understanding your value system and living by it and accepting yourself exactly as you are, are things we are supported to learn through the energy of Taurus.
During Aries we planted our seeds, getting ready for new growth. When we move into Taurus, sometimes there is resistance to that growth. Taurus can be afraid to let go, but we need to let go of the old to make room to make room for the new. This involves surrender and trust, a releasing that can soften the heart. There is no mistake in this is the season of Spring Cleaning. We need to let go of all the “stuff” that no longer serves us on the physical level by cleaning house and cleaning our bodies. This is liver cleanse season to clean internally. We also need to give up those emotions and behaviours that no longer serve us.
Taurus is a sign of patience and dependability. This is the energy of taking one step at a time and experiencing life fully. Taurus has a great appreciation and gratitude for the simple pleasures.
So this is a time to be methodical and patient. It is a time to face our fears, let go of resistance, and trust that things will work out. Don’t forget to enjoy the journey, take time for simple pleasures and be grateful for this life.
If you are setting intent this New Moon, here are some samples:
- I am asking for the courage to let go of whatever no longer serves me on all levels.
- I am asking to open my heart by surrendering and trusting.
- I am asking to develop a healthy sense of self-worth, while acknowledging the worth of those around me.
