A new moon always represents the ending of one cycle and the beginning of a new one. On April 22, we will experience a new moon in the sign of Taurus. Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac and is ruled by Venus. Venus loves comfort, is grounded and has a love of finer things. At this time we want our lives to be steady, calm and reliable. Taurus represents our body and the moon represents our feelings and emotions, so we will want to feel secure, grounded and stable within our relationships and finances at this time. This new moon gives us an invigorating burst of energy and initiative. This is an excellent time for sitting and connecting. Take time to find a quiet space to meditate. If possible, go outside. Some call this Earthing or Grounding. Connect with mother Earth. Envision nature and ground yourself. This will raise your vibration and help heal us from within. Use this Taurus energy to its fullest to upgrade your frequency and energy! This Taurus moon is conjunct Uranus. Uranus wants to upset, shake up, break up, awaken! It is about shocks and surprises. This can be literal or figurative. So, we may experience excitement, unexpected change and possible rebellion or disruption. You may have a strong urge to break free from routine and restriction. You may be feeling restless and impatient. Use caution to not react impulsively. Be flexible and open-minded to adapt to changing conditions. We have an opportunity to upgrade our experience of the "material world" ...from bare necessities (lack of) to creature comforts, from our own bodies to the body of Gaia, Mother Earth. Take time to center and ground yourself in nature as much as our weather permits. This is also a time to nourish our relationships with friends and family, so stay connected. This Taurus new moon isn't just about us enriching ourselves. It is about sharing what we have...time, energy, knowledge, money and other resources - in the hopes of improving both our personal and collective fortunes. I see many examples of this in everyday life...people reaching out to help others in need. We are in this together and will come out in the end stronger.
