HARNESSING THE CELESTIAL POWER OF THE TAURUS NEW MOON

It’s time to embrace the start of another Moon cycle, with the divine grace commencing her next phase at 4.59am AEST on Wednesday 12 May. This Moon cycle also coincides with an apogee, where the Moon is positioned at the furthest location from Earth in her orbit for all of 2021. This means that to us, this Moon will appear much smaller and dimmer than usual. But don’t be fooled – her powers are still radiating stronger than ever and are available for us to embrace with open arms.

This time, the Moon is transitioning through the generous, security-conscious and somewhat possessive zodiac sign of Taurus. The Taurean energy is all about what we have and value in this life – how much money we have, what material possessions we own or desire, and what creature comforts or securities we need to be at peace in our life. So, it should not be surprising that the message is clear at the time of this Taurus new Moon – it’s time to face up, own up, and take a long, hard look at our financial situation!

Use this opportunity to take a non-judgemental look at where you stand financially at this particular moment in time, and how this interacts with where you would like to be by the end of the year. Consider how much you are saving, spending and generously donating. Does this correlate with your financial goals and values? Could you be saving more? Or is it time to make a big purchase that you have been delaying for the ‘right time’?

The Taurus energy is also about seizing the impacts of our senses, and finding ways to relax, unwind and find contentment. Consider each of your heightened senses including touch, smell, taste, sight and audio, and make a list of the five things that you value most in this lifetime. What brings you the most comfort and security? This may be anything from your loved ones and furry friends, to a weekend camping trip, a good boogie to Midnight Oil, or a box of Roses chocolates after a long day at the office! Whatever it is, don’t judge what comes up for you… Let your heart speak and tell you what it truly aspires.

Now use the energy of this Taurus new Moon to add a little magic into your life. Whatever it is that you value – do more of that. Find the time to make your heart sing and fill with gratitude. Open up wide and embrace it!
