New Moon in Taurus
Dirt loving, flower sniffing, rolling in the mud, licking off the mango juice, savoring the red wine/dark chocolate/truffle/umami flavor...A Taurus revelry commences tomorrow with the Taurus New Moon on April 30th welcoming in the springtime with full earthy pleasure power. You might want to kneel and kiss the ground to welcome in the time of flowers blooming and bees buzzing, or maybe you’ll want to do your own kind of earth dance, calling up the fire in the earth and letting the star fire showers fall gently down under a night sky. It’s time now in the northern hemisphere where the rains start to ease up and the sun settles in for awhile.
The Aries fire calms as Taurus’ ruling planet Venus buzzes lounges blissfully in the sign of her rulership: Pisces, where she will remain until May 2.
This particular New Moon is forms an eclipse at 10 degrees of Taurus and conjuncts trickster extraordinaire Uranus, also in Taurus. We are awakened, the ground shakes and cracks open, these times demand that search for our center and find our own grounding cord to the earth’s center. How can you find security in the midst of an unprecedented transformation of our earthly reality? This New Moon offers a new doorway into our relationship with the earth and her upheaval. How we approach and reframe our security, comfort, sensuality and embodiment on the earth plane are key as we honor this new moon cycle.
Try Daffodil flower essence now to brush out winter’s cobwebs and welcome back the flowers, the sun and fertility of life. Daffodil brings it’s warmth to our hearts, builds our confidence in creating a future we can believe in and supports our hope and optimism. Walnut flower essence supports ease and gentleness in transitions.
A Rose, Orange and Ylang Ylang Essential oil will orient you even more to the earthy sensuality and awakening warmth of this Taurus New Moon. Blend in coconut, almond or jojobo oil for a DIY perfume and enjoy whenever you need a pleasurable moment or two.
