TAURUS NEW MOON – A DOOR INTO THE NEW YOU. 16.5.26

Moon in Taurus, Sun in Taurus, Sun conjunct Mercury, Nodes squaring the Sun. Nodes squaring Uranus.

A beautiful New Moon in Taurus arrives. We kind of expected it in more ways than one! There has been such a profound build up to this Moon and I feel there will be to the next Full Moon in two weeks that will be a Blue Moon in Sagittarius. As this is the second full Moon in a month it is considered what is known as a Blue Moon. This new Moon in Taurus comes with the Sun conjunct Mercury and the Nodes (Karma and destiny) squaring to the Sun in Taurus. This is a heady mix of looking deeply into the past and letting it go but also to seeing how we have learned through the patterns we formed in the past. The conditions around those patterns have changed considerably and we no longer know we need to repeat them. We might not be entirely sure of how or why we do not need to repeat them but we are entirely sure something is done! It is actually finished. This could be a way of living in your day to day routine (Taurus) or a way you looked at how you lived or why you felt compelled to repeat certain patterns in life. It is a calling. Something in you wants to say – hey enjoy this life. Just live it. Looking for the reasons why we are here and what we are to do is all very well but just enjoy moments when you throw your head back and have a good old belly laugh! Play. Be someone who just is you – and this is the clincher – you may not have presented that part of you to the world yet. It takes a lot of guts to say hang on I have been pretending so I could fit in!!! Well beloved, this is your curtain call! The on going Pluto/Aquarius retrograde as I wrote about earlier in the month – is a very good teacher. Its going to unravel a lot of what you thought was absolutely essential to your day to day life but also to how we perceive the World in general. You know it – you might not have proof in the good old black and white lol – but you have something more Beloved, you have the cosmic instinct of someone who has come here many times to travel the Earth and find out where you left parts of the human psyche when you were here before. Its basically a clean up operation but with benefits! You get to create a brand new YOU. When all of the house keeping is done of course we go back to where it all began but while we are here we have so many beautiful memories to create but also remember. Ask yourself why do you like the things you do? What has singled you out from your friends and family perhaps that does not fit in to their patterns? Why did you rebel or fight your way out of situations? Because you always knew something deeper called you and you wanted to reject it in some ways as it means a journey of going the opposite way of a lot of people. But you love people and family etc. But you also have a karmic imprint (this is the North and South Nodes) that you follow. It is not a burden. In fact if seen correctly as we grow and mature we realise it is a barometer to help us balance the head and the heart. The past and the future. Heaven and Earth. Look into a deeper part of you – without the patterns of guilt, fear or anger – and it is a wonderful mix of rainbow colours waiting to be painted or created. It forms a world within you that you have to share. It does not have to be with the world but even day to day in your own world Beloved. If you overthink it – you suffer! Suffering is really sitting in the head and creating a lot of stories we thought were true to one day realise we were part of the bigger plan of creating stories that help us all grow. Be kind right now and this next while. Be very kind. It will serve you well in the creation of your own world within. When you dip – and you will of course from time to time – come to realise that is when we go back into the past of what was. To sit with something we think has to be completed in a future we have yet to create. We do not need to create fear stories for each other but of course some will. But thats all part of the story too as we now realise.

The Taurus New Moon is talking to you like an old friend who knows you well but still loves you anyway lol:

‘Hello. How have you been? Well you didnt think you could just ignore the music of the song you had been creating? It does not work that way Beloved. You created the journey so far. Its hard to believe it or even contemplate it. Others create theirs too and we cannot affect them by what we have created – only if we create with them in mind. What you want for yourself may not be what your closest family or loved ones want. So you see the importance now under this new Moon of putting a new expression on what you feel about creating. It is a complex yet somewhat simple procedure depending on how you look at it. Complex in that it requires you to realise you are always responsible for how you react. How you react will go on to create your future. How you resolve anything will help you restore parts of you that suffered through over thinking or worrying. The Moon in Taurus welcomes you to your new World. But it only means its a cycle of you finding out that the answers you need to make a move in day to day living means you have to trust the moments of clarity that come. They only come when you put down the picture of how you think things should be. Thats a dogma all its own. Venus rules Taurus – its the harmonic note of a light hearted being who knows that after all is said and done – and indeed written – what remains is love.’

HAPPY NEW MOON IN TAURUS

HAPPY NEW YOU.
