Cosmic confirmation, spiritual direction. 

It's moments like this, when I'm seated in my home, working through a moment of desperation, when suddenly I come across tangible confirmation of my intuitive inklings...these are the moments that I live for. 

I'm talking about what this New Moon in Taurus stands for in this season of our lives, and how it directly correlates to what I said during our Virtual Soul Circle a few Saturdays ago. (If you haven't watched the replay, you should.) Now, this is direct confirmation of my divine guidance, but what does it mean for you specifically? Let's break down this cosmic energy and how we can flow with it as self-care for our mind, body, and spirit.

Let us join the Sun and Moon in welcoming Taurus season. Taurus is the astrological earth sign most connected to nature and ruled by Venus, ruler of all things love, beauty, connection, and pleasure. Before we dive into Venus and what she has in store for us this spring though, let's talk ab11111out Uranus and Saturn who are very active in conjunction with this New Moon.

Uranus is the rebellious planet of change and transformation (emphasis of rebellion), and Saturn is the patient planet of stability and structure. Both energies would seem to be working at odds, influencing all of the energy in our lives conflict our collective desire to heal and excel, but that's not the case at all.

We can definitely expect the unexpected with Uranus tearing through expired versions of our core, our mindsets, and mental programming, while Saturn reminds us of the importance of returning to ourselves for optimal alignment and stability. Basically, Uranus is tired of the shit we keep putting ourselves through because we're comfortable. If you're experiencing shifts, possibly painful shifts of cosmic proportions, that's Uranus giving us the opportunity to come to know what truly serves our expansion more intimately and getting rid of the rest for good. Saturn's energy is working in tandem to remind us that all of these adjustments serve the purpose of aligning us with an experience that is better suited for our individual purpose on earth.

We're all here to do things, experience certain breakthroughs, love and lose certain people, and create unchangeable ripples in the waters of life. As a collective, we've been taking all of it for granted. As the pandemic is starting to smooth out, the cosmos just don't want us to come out of this unchanged. It was the resistance to evolution that got us here in the first place. 

Now, back to Venus. She'll be in retrograde from May 13 – June 25. I know that the word "retrograde" sends chills down most people's spines (thanks, millennial internet), but the call to action is slowing down and evaluating the condition and quality of our relationships and the input and output regarding them. 

This New Moon period, and really for the next couple of weeks, calm your spirit with lovely Taurian, comfy home activities, and calibrate your psyche to flowing with the aforementioned energy. As a reminder, manifestation does not start and end – we are always manifesting on the frequency to which we vibrate. So as you embrace the cleansing of Uranus, alignment of Saturn, and reevaluation of Venus, ask yourself:

What do you want to manifest? Fear, loss, resistance, pain? Or faith, creativity, hope, and love?

1. What life-changing experiences should I be giving my grace through right now?
    
2. What feels heavy to me right now? What patterns and programming are being revealed to be released?
    
3. How can I nurture my mind, body, and spirit on my way back home to myself?

If you want to set intentions with a New Moon Ritual, you have until Saturday, April 25 at 10:25 PM EST | 7:25 PM PST to use the most potent moon energy.

• "Create some space, hold an intention for the life that you wish to lead. Step out of your present situation for a moment and ask yourself, what can I become? How does my journey progress from this point forward?" 
  
  "Uranus, the planet of change is very active under this New Moon. Uranus likes to shake things in order to awaken us, but its presence can also feel upsetting and chaotic. Along with Uranus being active, we also have Saturn active too. If Uranus is about shaking things up, Saturn is about keeping things the same and honoring the traditions of the past.
  
  These two seemingly opposite energies are both going to be highlighted at this time. We may feel this duality within us, but we may also see it playing out on the world stage." –  Forever Conscious

• "Bless all inconvenience as an invitation for necessary change. This is a good time to work with the quantum field in setting some “what if” questions that will guide your future." 
  
  "Remember that like attracts like. In this potent time, what do you wish to attract? Negativity, resistance, anger, disappointment, fear, lack, despair? Or love, hope, abundance, fertility, inspiration and beauty?" – The Power Path
   
• "The Sun, Moon and Uranus will square Saturn in Aquarius at this New Moon. This kicks off a cycle of progressive change for the next two years, when we’ll need to stay patient and focus on what matters most, and commit anew to Gaia. Uranus and Aquarius are associated with the angelic realm, so it’s safe to say that higher beings are working overtime on our behalf right now, and innovative ideas and solutions are available for the asking." – Moon Circles
   

• I bless anything that feels like a disturbance, transforming my mindset and acknowledging its presence as necessary to my evolution. 
   
• I flow with the healing energy being surged through the Universe right now.
   
• Everything that does not serve me or my abundant life sheds itself in divine time, leaving space for opportunity and blessings to enter. 
   
• I give my mind, body, and soul grace through my process. 
   
• I transform the aspects of my mental, physical, and spiritual self that keep me latched onto fear. I am connected to the Universe, therefore I already have the guidance I need to excel on my path.
   
• I trust the inner workings of the Universe. I question nothing because I am infinitely blessed with opportunities beyond my human dreams.
