A Relaxed New Moon in Taurus! + Monday’s Creative Jolt ⚡🍓
Hiya Friend,
This week in the Cosmos, it's "All-Taurus-All-Day!" We've got four planets in the sign of the Bull — the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus. 🐮🌸
And just last night, we had the New Moon in Taurus at 8.21pm PT, further emphasizing the sign.
Ruled by the planet Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, Taurus brings sensuality and harmony into the material world and how we participate with or express ourselves in the world of form — those tangible things you can touch and hold and take pleasure or comfort in.
You can think of Taurus as "embodying Spirit."
I use the term "embodying" intentionally because Taurus actually represents the most fundamental aspect of our lives here on Earth: We possess a human body. 🤸
Our bodies have biological needs — eating, sleeping and sex to name a few. Taurus reminds us that life's necessary activities can also be a sensual, pleasurable experience.
When we luxuriate or delight in earthly pleasures, like the taste of champagne, a supremely soft blanket or the embrace of a beloved, we are experiencing the physical expression of Taurus's Venusian side.
For sure you're feeling this energy now, firstname, especially since we're still under the New Moon!
Here are a few Bull-inspired inquiries to align with Luna's new phase and maximize the remainder of Taurus Season:
🌸 Do you reserve time in your schedule to commune with nature?
Whether that's gardening, bird watching or eating a meal outside under the sky — when was the last time you literally stopped and smelled the roses?
💪 What's your body saying to you right now?
Do a body scan of any duration. Where does your body need more care? Is it time to eat healthier? Get a massage? Is there chronic tension held in one part of your body that needs your attention?
😴 Do you take time to rest and relax and to simply BE?
Are you running any stories about why you can't rest? Are you "shoulding" all over yourself because you've got a long to-do list or some other thing that prevents you from stopping? Does your frazzled pace serve as an escape from sitting with the emotion that will arise when quiet descends?
This is one of Taurus's gifts: The reminder to slooooow down your pace; to come back into the body and root yourself firmly on Mama Earth so that you can enjoy — and not just utilize — the bounty and beauty she so freely gives.
⚡ The AstroLogical Forecast! ⚡
There's just two other aspects I want to mention for this week.
🌙 🤩 Today, Wednesday, we have our monthly Moon-Jupiter conjunction — when emotional Luna meets jolly Jupiter (in Taurus).
I've been tracking these days for the last many months and I find that they're always easier and smoother than others.
Jupiter is prone to bringing an optimistic vibe to the party, which predisposes the Moon to be happier and more sympathetic to whatever life presents.
>> Take advantage of it by tackling something you've been avoiding or procrastinating on. Moon-Jupiter days usually put pep in your step and place you on an open road. Have fun!
☀️⚡Mark Your Calendar! On Monday at 2.13am PT, the Sun and Uranus come together for their annual meeting.
Outer planet Uranus moves quite slowly, so this pair meets in the same sign for about seven years in a row. Since Uranus has been in Taurus since March 2019, this will be our fifth year of the Sun-Uranus conjunction in Taurus.
☀️ The Sun represents our life purpose and finding the courage to follow our hearts and take action to express ourselves creatively.
⚡Uranus, on the other hand, disrupts the status quo by bestowing flashes of insight that shift perspectives. (I think of Uranus as the fresh air breathing new life into a "room" that's been long closed and forgotten.)
Finally, you read all about Taurus at the beginning of this post. But to add to what's already been stated, you can think of this archetype as helping you learn the following karmic lessons:
♉ Identifying and aligning with your values and your value system
♉ How to be self-sufficient
♉ Attuning to your sense of self-worth (which underlies the previous two lessons)
When the Sun finds Uranus on his annual trip around the zodiac, we can expect a day that is extra-ordinary or somehow unusual.
Since the sensitive Moon and dreamy Neptune are also involved, it's likely to be another great day. 🔱
>> If your creative expression or life purpose are topics of importance, then I suggest you carve out time on Monday to spend in solitude either contemplating or actively working on these endeavors.
Uranus can likely provide the "ah-ha!" breakthrough moment you need, so don't miss it by moving through Monday mindlessly!
Keep in mind that these events are happening under the backdrop of Taurus Season, which reminds us that our material reality is an embodiment of Spirit, or the creative expression of the universe. 🎵
If you're looking to cultivate a relationship with Divine, then I invite you to bring conscious awareness to how you interact with both your body and the environment around you.
Can you see or sense Spirit flowing through your body and the Earth body and all her creatures? 🐝
During Taurus Season you're given the opportunity to reconnect with and embody the creative Spirit that permeates all life.

P.S. In the next month, I'm going to be presenting a class + workshop on ASPECTS. If you're curious about the aspects in your chart and what they mean, then you won't want to miss it. Date TBA soon.
