AstroFlash! Taurus New Moon May 16, 2007 12:28 pm PDT

Taste, touch
pleasure sense.
common sense.
practical sensibility.
Appetite,
immediate desires
gratification mmmm
indulgence.
Resistance.
Commitments.
Aspiration, ambition
the real thing
comfort, stability.
All wrapped up in this New Moon.
Taurus moon is a fertile seed
where creativity blooms
and desire flowers in pleasures garden.
Intentions infused with ideals
nourish our aspirations from root to flower.
A critical eye to keep on track
or too much will wither in shame.
In communion with the Earth,
nourished through beauty,
guided by instincts.
Your body is your compass.
Sensing, listening.
Your body is Earth's body.
Earth's body is your body.
Savor each precious moment.


In this hectic rush of modern life, the natural cycle of Sun and Moon brings us to this New Moon in Taurus, the first earth sign of the zodiac. This is the time of year for each of us to affirm our connection with our earthy senses. Sensuality, sexuality, intuition, security and comfort. From this center of self-awareness, we work with strength and determination.

Venus, Taurus' ruler is in Cancer, emphasizing creativity, nurturing and sensitivity. Venus will go retrograde this summer (July 27), we'll take a journey to re-evaluate our desires. Now, this New Moon is a good time to listen to the ground of our core desires and delights. Heart's wisdom flowers.

5/19-20 Mercury opposite Jupiter square Uranus: optimism, wild ideas, radical statements, discovery, awakening, agitation. 5/24 Neptune begins retrograde, groundlessness is emphasized. We're moving toward the final passage of Neptune opposite Saturn (June 25). The tension of making concrete changes while the infrastructure dissolves.

~ Taurus New Moon Contemplations and Actions ~
Rather than asking questions, Listen.
Listen to your heartbeat, your breath, your digestion.
Take off your shoes and stand or walk on the earth.
Notice the flowering plants and inhale their fragrance.
Listen to the birds, the wind.
Move your body, follow your senses.
