As the sun seeds the moon at the start of another lunar cycle, the sky folds in a number of energies contrasting the pure energy of sun and moon in Taurus. The first is nearby Uranus, mad scientist of the planetary panoply, enlivening the steady, fertile ground of the bull with flashes of radical inspiration and disturbance. From early Aquarius, Saturn is square to the new moon, suggesting some burgeoning sense of embodiment unique to the new and unusual structures of reality at play since late March.

This is our opportunity to plant seeds from within this radically different form life has taken on Earth during the last lunar cycle. Sextile the north node in Cancer, there is positive potential for this new seed to grow towards a more nurturing way of sharing resources on and with this planet and each other. Uranus so near this lunation in Taurus contributes to our capacity to think and act outside the box with regard to these innovations in our lifestyles and approach to a more, grounded, present and sustainable way of existing aboard this glorious earthly home.

Taurus is the earth sign ruled by Venus. The earthier archetypes of the goddess come alive during this time, manifesting in the northern regions as springtime unfurling. The textures, colors and aromas of so many sprouts and blossoms seduce us from the ground and trees. Early crops remind us of the profound, visceral connection we have to Earth. It is her body that nourishes our bodies on all levels. From cellular nourishment to visual, sensual, energetic nourishment, we are so beautifully fed by Gaia.

During this extremely out of the ordinary pause in the goings on of life, this new moon in Taurus invites us to slow ourselves down as much as possible. When our pace approaches stillness, a depth of presence arrives out of which we can truly, completely enjoy the simple pleasures of embodiment. This rooted presence and appreciation of earthly blessings are the radical shift made available by this unforeseen turn of events.

Root deep through breath. Take time to revel in your senses!
