Defiance is not what we expect when we hear Taurus New Moon, but here it is precisely the defiance of the perceived fatedness of our collective and individual lives that is written all over this new moon.
I have few spots available for astrology consultations in May, after which I take a pause from one on one work for a while.
The New Moon in Taurus in conjunction with a fixed star Algol is a wheel of fortune kind of lunation, it can go up and go down depending on our ability to see the inevitability of change and step into it despite the layers of accumulated fear. This is the space of either moving ourselves out of the fixed, familiar, not fully animate life patterns or further calcifying within those patterns. Algol is considered to be a difficult star, it sheds a light on what has been hardened when it was meant to become gentler, softer, where true values were sacrificed for the preservation of illusionary reality. A great deal of hidden material is revealed when we can identify the moments when we choose, consciously or unconsciously, to become more rigid, more set in our ways and beliefs. What this lunation offers is an opportunity to soften the edges of the beliefs and attitudes that we carry around, to turn the wheel. What is not evolving, what is illusionary turns into stone, just like in the myth of Medusa Gorgona which is associated with Algol.
Taurus is a sign of Moon’s exaltation, it is here the form yearns for fullness, for plentitude of what is valuable and durable. But if this form is only filled with even more matter, more things, it loses the plot. This container, a place of abundance and plenty, has to be also a place for spirit to manifest. If that doesn’t happen the form with all its riches is nothing but an empty vessel.
This is Venus ruled lunation, and Venus is currently in Gemini. There is a need for an effort to re-invent, to liberate oneself from the narratives that feel fated or doomed, to adopt more lightness as we move forward. Taurus is a deeply creative sign, and most importantly it understands co-creation as it is closely associated with nature and cycles. There is a need to stretch your imagination and tap into what you desire beyond the material, beyond safety and survival. What would you like to co-create because it brings value that infuses matter with spirit. To do that, with this lunation we need to look at what we are afraid to lose if we allow creation to take over our lives, we need to look at the fears around survival and safety.
This lunation sits closely to Mercury, and there is a mutual reception between Mercury and Venus. We need to align our thinking patterns, ideas and connections with our values. This is a passage, an opportunity to move something that has been immovable for a very long time through a mental shift about what holds significance in the new world that no one will build if we don’t. And the last Mars/Chiron conjunction in Aries that perfects during the New Moon, draws our attention to the wound of energy and capability. The courage is required to stop telling yourself a story about being not ready and being powerless. Change right now is not smooth sailing, it is a Count Monte Christo level of defiance of the narratives you were fed and rules of engagement you accepted.
