With tonight’s New Moon in Taurus, it’s time to focus on building a strong foundation. We’ve demolished decrepit structures thanks to Saturn, Pluto, and the South Node, and now have room for sturdier, healthier development. The question is, what do you wish to grow?
If it’s prosperity you’re after, then your values and self-concept must be supportive. If you have low self-worth, then you will have low material worth. If you haven’t clearly defined what is important to you, then you will struggle to build a life full of richness and meaning. In order to live abundantly, you must first know who you are, what you are capable of, and what will truly make you happy.
Do you honor your wants and needs by making time for self-care? Do you regularly nourish all of your senses, luxuriating in the pleasures this Earth has to offer? Taurus shows us that while hard work is important, so is enjoying the fruits of our labor. Many of us were conditioned to feel guilt and shame around what gives us joy (“guilty pleasure,” anyone?). But what if you just said f*ck it? What if you just let yourself taste, see, move, and feel? Moderation is important, of course, but if you haven’t been living fully in your body, now is the time to start.
With Uranus in Taurus and Saturn, Pluto, and the South Node in Capricorn, many of us have been feeling the ground wavering beneath our feet. Connect to Mother Nature to remind yourself that you are safe and loved in her arms. When you see the beauty in her cycles, then you can more easily surrender to yours.
Last, Venus in Aries encourages us to move forward with gusto and courage. Don’t rush, however—Taurus’ pace is slow and steady. Stay practical, focused, and persistent. Should you honor yourself and the tasks at hand, you will surely reach your goals.
