My dear beloved Earthlings,
The time has arrived with this Taurus New Moon on April 27th, for us to ground. There are so many temptations to spend time in our heads and out of our bodies right now. The temptations are fast, furious and full of forcefulness but they are empty.
What has meaning and soul is being grounded on the Earth right now.
We have come through the gauntlet of the Eclipses that were the last two Lunar cycles and are on the other side. All planets are now direct and moving forward. Neptune has moved into Aries and is stirring the warriors in our souls. The weather is warm, flowers are blooming and bees are buzzing. We are being called to action!
But first…… let’s remember to ground and bless the Earth we stand on.
The Taurus New Moon is always a blessed time to run our roots into the ground and feel the strength of our Mother Earth. Turn your attention away from the glaring chaos of the world and focus on getting outside and walking barefoot on the Earth. Listen to the birds and the sounds of nature. Breathe. Be.
Today is certainly a great time to garden. It is also a time to do something deeply pleasurable with NO GUILT!
Taurus season is also about creation since it is a time that the Earth is in full bloom and life is sprouting from the Earth with zeal. This is a particularly potent time to start a creative project that you have been dreaming up but haven’t taken the time to do it.
The old saying “practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty” is very fitting of this season. Taurus is shined on by Venus the planet that represents beauty, creativity, love and pleasure. Those are exactly what a Taurus values.
In honor of this New Moon, I picked up rocks at the beach today to paint. I’ve had a vision to paint them and leave them around in public places as gifts. Today I’m going to start it! Walking on the beach, picking up rocks for a creative act of kindness felt so deliciously in tune.
One word of warning, this New Moon has a volatile aspect with Pluto and Mars so walk lightly on the Earth. You will probably get an opportunity to have a hostile encounter with someone, please breathe and don’t react. This is a bridge burning sort of aspect so think before you get “bull headed” and light the blow torch.
I had this opportunity come up today with someone very dear to me. I’m so pleased I knew about this aspect and relaxed into kindness.
Most importantly, relax into an unhurried day filled with the wonders of nature. Do something that is an Earthly pleasure with no guilt. Turn off media, lay down your phone and feel gratitude for our beautiful Mother Earth and the moment.
