Venus, the planet of love and the New Moon are in the earthy, grounded and sensual sign of Taurus, spreading cosmic love across the sky. Plant seeds for things you love and want and for the things and people you hold dearly. Take time now to think about what you really value and deeply need. Plant desires. Catch your wishes.
☽ Protection
A lovely white warrior goddess stands balanced between two swans. I love when a new moon appears in a card drawn for a new moon reading. It's the ultimate confirmation of connection to divine consciousness and the spiritual and magical connection we have to the Earth and her moon cycles. We always have one foot here and one in Spirit.
Swans, a feminine symbol of the moon, are associated with Aphrodite the goddess of love. A sword stands ready for action behind one of the swans, underneath the new moon. It's a call to action. A call to aim and create. Space is open underneath this goddess' other hand to signify the space for creation, the void.
Swans are a symbol of the world in between where our dreams live, our fertile and powerful subconscious mind. In manifestation we create by becoming clear and asking for what we want, then letting God❥dess take care of the "how" of it all. Her etheric angel wings or fairy wings depending on how you see it, show again that we are in this world but not of it. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
☽ Sanctuary
Our Taurus muse wears a regal but earthly headpiece and peacock cape. Peacocks are ancient symbols of royalty and protection. She holds her beautiful necklace. She loves the finer things and oozes sensuality. Dress in your sexy and sensual, but comfortable clothes this new moon. Wear treasured rings and pretty jewelry. Eat good food and celebrate life.
The green tones of this image represent the earth element of Taurus, as an earth sign in astrology. Bulls as they are often called like to think things through before making decisions. They don't like to be pushed. They aren't stubborn they just need to consider things deeply.
If you feel pushed right now by someone or something in your life, retreat to sanctuary to figure things out and muse over them. This is a big new moon with Venus in Taurus for relationships. Consider the feelings and opinions of others. Consider your own feelings and opinions. True love stems from love. Taurus asks us to consider our own values but to not push them on others. If there is someone you need to forgive or let go of, make this one of your new moon intentions. Then let the big "U" step in.
During this new moon phase you may feel possessive of your loved ones and your things. It might be time to go through old stuff that you have been holding too, that at one time was of great value to you. Doing this also moves energy in a positive direction.
Taurus people have beautiful, comfortable and sometimes super-lush abodes. Their home is their sanctuary and they fiercely protect it. It's time to create your own sanctuary. Oh how lovely life is when we can take a break, even if it is for five minutes for a short meditation or time outside. We all have different ideas of what sanctuary is. It might be connecting to nature, or a special spiritual place. While it is wonderful to be able to leave life and go away, sometimes we don't have that luxury. The good news is we don't have to go very far, because we can be renewed by cultivating sanctuary within.
☽ Grace
This lovely image glows with the colors of Taurus, reds, yellows and oranges. A lovely maiden takes pleasures in the sensuality of the earth. She is surrounded by flowers and showered with the sun's love. Grace is always present for us in the present moment. Right now we are deeply considering what is very important to us. Do our values serve us? Have we gotten away from the our center? Or stuck in the past? I recommend starting with 5 things that are very important to you as your new moon intentions.
Taurus is a good energy for money-manifesting. Be specific about your financial goals. I want $5000 to take a trip, or I want to increase my monthly salary by this amount of money. It might be time to review your budget, or start monthly savings. It also might mean spending time and money on yourself, especially for women. We change the culture by the choices we make. I heard a man say once that his friend's wife didn't cook and somehow that was wrong. Don't get me started...
We don't need to always push to make things happen. Invite life in. Cultivate "the good life". Nurture yourself so you can nurture your beloveds. Get yourself flowers. Go very Taurean and get a massage and buy a new handbag, shoes or lush throw blanket.
