Opportunity to build a new foundation: Taurus new moon

New moon in Taurus

This new moon in Taurus has the following major aspects:

  • Conjunct Mercury in Taurus
  • Conjunct Uranus in Gemini
  • Sextile Jupiter in Cancer
  • Sextile Neptune in Aries

This New Moon, depending on which house in your natal chart, will open a door to the opportunity to lay a more enduring foundation and point of presence and security in your life. This may come through a deeper analysis of your values and how you want to express them in the area of your chart as indicated when projected onto the nativity chart.

Pluto is trine the Mercury and Uranus conjunction helping us to really pull out old thought forms, extricate them by the roots; and, that is part of the process for laying the new foundation with the Taurus new moon. Uranus lends the archetype for out-of-the-box thinking and unusual inspiration.

With the Venus and Neptune square at this new moon, there’s still a question around what possibilities can exist for which delusions and illusions are influencing your experience, how to enlighten these remaining questions around relationships, finances and values, is rooted in beliefs and perceptual overlay (Neptune).

Overall this New Moon is like a welcome mat to the new domain of a more enduring and unshakeable foundation within your life, one that is palpable, concrete, and able to discern.

During a time with so much chaos, uncertainty and unknown, there’s a place within your life is inviting you deeper into your solid knowing and inner core. This can be further activated with Taurean themes such as music and vocalizing, using the voice and getting your hands deep into the soil/soul of a garden. This can be opening your senses further to the vibrations of the cosmos that are ever more permeating the Earth experience with more awareness at the collective level. Feeling out the dance steps to a favorite song can be another way to boost your knowing and embodied experience of this New Moon and strengthen its potential to help you manifest and experience more solid ground.

Many blessings! May all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering. May we all move closer to our authentic beingness with each lunation, as we are part of the process of the awakening for all. W

e are the one being, each uniquely flavored aspects of this on-going creation, fulfilling our purposes and sharing our experience as we can, will, and do. Blessed be. blessed be!

Eclipse window widens at Virgo Full Moon

Pisces energy dominates this full moon/eclipse chart, especially with the touch of ‘fire’ of modern Pisces ruler Neptune newly established in Aries. We are in a full surrender to the moments that we have no control around–which we could argue are all of the moments. I don’t need to mention the world events because the destruction and chaos is clearly happening and we are in the dynamics of massive change. Months ago, I spoke of end of February and the dynamic of Neptune and Saturn conjunction in Aries for the longer stays–Neptune being the longest at approx 14 years. We knew that a punctuated event would take place within the vicinity of the timeframe of the astrological transits, which is why astrology is so helpful to bring more awareness. It’s a mirror/mandala and a way to reflect. While it does not dictate the future, it can share with you the future’s weather in terms of the energies at play. I want to dial into more personally how we can benefit from this information. We each have our own ways that we relate to the impact of the whole.

The gift of this eclipse at Virgo is that we can more keenly respond bodily to the sensations of our awareness. Using the body as a tool for awareness and sensation, we can more immediately figure out how to apply care for our personal needs. Our routines and rituals can find grounded expression with meditation, exercise, and our spiritual practices. Spiritual practice can be a place to land when the energies are so intense and deeply impacted through fear, worry, or nervous system chaos in reaction to the lack of control. Breathing strategies can bring more sensation into the body and away from the mind such as box breath, oven this pursed-lip breathing as described below.

Jupiter features here while in retrograde, but it is forming a harmonious aspect to the Sun and the Moon in this eclipse. This means that Jupiter can amplify the intensity for better or for worse. Jupiter can bring us into our faith as well as to challenge it. Ultimately the bigger picture is in question when Jupiter is active in a chart. Jupiter can also symbolize the spiritual teacher and guidance. One looks to the “Guru” for removing the obstacles that obscure truth, reality, and by reuniting us beyond our inner suffering, to touch the infinite hope that cannot be extinguished.

May all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering. This message as all my messages are sent with love and respect for your unique journeys. May you be well. May you experience peace.

Embody

i am silent

because 

only felt pulses live 

in the dark sensations of

what “knowing” actually is:

a brief, ephemeral glimpse of

a much grander scheme 

that has open ends.  

EMBODIMENT is fresh and full, 

more like a river or a lake with edges that wax and wane

responding to changes in environment.

It’s not a face, nor a definition: not an identity. 

‘Knowing’ is not loud, screaming, underlined. 

Not out-lined in bold, 

dot-pointed, close-toed

tight-lipped, buttoned, scheduled. Clipboard authority. 

But it’s still precise

It’s a silent holding of temperature and form,

a collection of discrete matter. You sense its presence,

because you are also

presence. 

(…and that is the only real reason)

How it formed is not important

nor does “Why does it live and die?” 

It is eternal, I am.

‘Embodiment’ pulses, like an electron—

almost not there, but here, full, open, and pregnant with an observed breath. 

I am silent because of this.
