Welcome to the New Moon in Taurus!

 

Hello dear First name / one,
 

Grab your candles, get clear on your intentions, and manifest those dreams, baby!


Today’s New Moon in Taurus, peaking at 11:59 am PST, is particularly special not just because it has some powerful aspects for intention setting and manifestation—as we do with new moons—but also because coming up we have two eclipses in a row (😱) until July’s New Moon in Cancer. Call me controversial, but I think eclipses are a great time to find closure and set certain kinds of intentions. But more on that in the next Moonsletter...

 

I’m getting ahead of myself, this moon is a juicy one. Remember back in April when everyone was “all jazzed up” about the New Moon in Aries? Tonight is a great time to revisit the beginning of this most recent cycle. What intentions did you set then? What have you seen come to fruition? What cycles are ready to be closed? Engaging in a little clearing before setting your new intentions is also a way to practice gratitude for the process.

 

 

Tonight's New Moon has a powerful sextile to Neptune, which will heighten our intuition and spiritual sensibility. Dreams can be more vivid and leave us with more lasting impressions. Now would be a good time to take notes. Lean into your intuitive gifts or your divination tool of choice (tarot, pendulums, IChing) to gain insight into your next endeavors and receive guidance about the changes you may need to make. Uranus is transiting right behind the moon, in a square with Saturn which are the themes of the limitations to change that we’ve been seeing all year. 

 

It also serves us to look at Black Moon Lilith who is technically a point in the sky, much like the North and South Node, because she will also be conjunct the sun and moon and therefore amplified. Lilith’s energy is an ancient archetype, that of the divine “dark” feminine. She is creativity and destruction, charisma and sexuality. She can also bring up distorted or repressed emotions and energies. She revels in the taboo, plays with shadows, and reminds us that everything is a dance. 

 

Lilith has been in the sign of Taurus since last year and will be there until this July. With her aspect to this moon and the sun, we could be feeling this energy bubbling up inside of us individually as well as in the collective. She could bring up our shadows or deeply buried emotions about our own bodies and our values, what we are keeping in the dark for fear that it's not acceptable. This new moon could be a wonderful opportunity to explore what old narratives about femininity, the body, and your material values that no longer serve you. 

 

Admittedly, I've been on a personal journey with Lilith this last year, and I’m beginning to see the shapes of things to come around the bend both professionally and personally. I’m less afraid of the things that had previously defined my limits, and I look forward to feeling this energy rise in the collective.

 

FOR THE BODY


 

 

Taurus rules the neck, throat, larynx, vocal cords, tonsils and thyroid. These areas might be a little more sensitive or tender during this time.

 

 

 Put on your favorite tunes, doesn't matter if it's Cardi B., Bob Dylan or Shania Twain and indulge in singing along like you're headlining Coachella.

 


If singing isn't your thing, try some therapeutic humming. Find a comfortable position and connect with your breath. Then begin humming one note. Let the vibrations course through your sinuses, your head, your chest and your trunk. Notice if you feel any tension in your vocal cords. Try consciously relaxing them and notice how your pitch changes.
 

 

If it suits your diet, add some iodine with seaweed, liver, kidney beans or eggs.

 

At the end of the day, drink marshmallow or mint tea to soothe those singing muscles.

 

The moon and the sun will be in Gate 23 in Human Design terms. This is the Gate of Assimilation, not of individuals but of information; boiling down complex ideas into digestible pieces. It's a gate in the Throat Center (🐂) that says, “I know." 
 

What do you know, now? 
What is your truth? 

 

This gate speaks from the Ajna's (mind's) ability to organize information as an individual process. It may not follow logic, but there is something you “know” through recent lessons that cannot be defied.
