A new flower popped up in my garden this year- chances are high that I planted it- but the seeds are only fruiting now. It is Sweet William (in the picture above)! And it is just beginning to flower right now- it is amazing. I love it! Happy New Moon!
You know, I absolutely love Taurus and I absolutely love its planetary ruler- Venus.
Taurus is a HUGE part of my value system.
Presence. Pleasure. Joy. Embodiment. Sensuality. Slow. Grounded. Determined. Devotion. Nourishment. Fertility. Abundance. Beauty. Luxury. Loyalty. Rhythm. Patience. Perseverance. Verdancy. Organic. Receptivity. Integrity. Magnetic. Creature comforts. Resonance. Sensory richness. Somatic intelligence. Listening. Steadfast. Committed. Safety. Belonging. Juicy existence. Deliciousness. Ripening. Opulence. Wealth. Natural. Stable. Rooted.
Taurus feels life fully through the body- through texture, tone, taste, touch, atmosphere, breath, land, seasonality, and the intelligence of enoughness.
Like all of Nature- our plants, animals, water, soil- none of it questions its right to belong and flourish- because it all just knows it does, it can, it is here to BE HERE NOW! Belonging is inherent. Taurus teaches us this richness of being.
I have been on a bit of a tangent lately- where truth, integrity, alignment, and ultimately congruency (inside to out) is the greatest metric for health and well-being. Beyond what we consume, alignment with our values, ethics, and highest morals generates the highest degree of coherence in our mind-body-soul system.
Which has me moving through an internal audit- do my values, morals, and ethics reflect congruency with my choices and actions and ways of being?
Venus is our values and the relations we cultivate with and through them.
Audit! I dare you. Are you aligned with YOU?
This morning I had a beautiful ah-ha moment- a sweet little revelation. Each astrological sign and its season has keys to unlock.
For Taurus- one of its gifts is teaching us about value, material wealth and abundance, and the ultimate fertility of life.
Typically, when we experience scarcity mindset and the implications that follow that thread or way of being, we feel scarce and like we never have enough. The key to wealth through the lens of Taurus and Venus is to value yourself. What you believe about yourself is reflected into your reality- inside to out! It is also to embody the trust in rhythm- in Nature, there is always more than enough, in fact- overflowing!
So this. But! The revelation.
In January, I was in ceremony. And, on the second night, I had the most blissful night. If you are familiar with Ayahuasca and these kinds of ceremonies- you aren’t always gifted nights where love and bliss are pouring in, out, and through you- so I really cherish this night. It was so special with big lessons on unconditional love and the seed frequency of abundance. This lesson was so clear- it is through JOY and PLEASURE that we attract the abundance we want. We have to become a magnet for this frequency to move toward us.
So this sweet little ah-ha! that popped into my mind this morning was so sweet. Like duh! Why haven’t I put these together before, or maybe I have but forgot- who knows!
Taurus and Venus are wealth, abundance, prosperity, opulence. They are also beauty, pleasure, joy, feeling the absolute perfection of life and energy move through your body. This is the lock and key to attaining all the abundance and all the wealth we desire- it is through our JOY BODY.
And, I love that. So much.
Next- I want to speak about the body. This beautiful, epic, amazing body.
And I want to invite you to spend some time in gratitude and reverence for how absolutely magical your body is. How it functions as optimally as it can within the conditions it is given. Constantly emerging, adapting, and becoming — in sacred relationship with every environment, experience, energy, and body it meets. Your body is always listening, always responding, always reorganizing itself through the information it receives. It learns. It protects. It evolves.
And even through stress, survival, heartbreak, exhaustion, trauma, or disconnection, the body continues to reorient itself back to balance and coherence. It continues to heal... Continues to bring you back into right relationship with yourself.
The body is LOVE.
How it carries you through life with unwavering devotion. How it breathes for you while you sleep, repairs what has been wounded, and communicates through sensation, symptom, rhythm, tension, pulse, and feeling. The body is never working against you. It is your greatest ally on this Earth plane- endlessly intelligent, relational, adaptive, and beautifully ALIVE.
I bow to the body and its immaculate intelligence- every damn day.
Love yourself up. Lift your body- raise it high. You are a living masterpiece, an embodied oracle of great wisdom- and your body is truly your greatest ally.
>> I made a ripe pear, rhubarb, and strawberry crumble. This smell, this simple perfect nourishment- is Taurus vibes. Go bake yourself something that makes you feel LOVE.
For this Taurus New Moon- one of the most auspicious moons for planting seeds- (the soil is oh so fertile!)- AUDIT YOURSELF!
If you could have anything right now, your highest heart desires- what is it?
And does it align with your core values?
Does it make you feel excited, joyful, like dripping honey pleasure YAY?
And are you willing to devote yourself to it? (time, commitment, perseverance)
Go all in on yourself.
I know that MANY of us have been tumbling through a super REAL death + rebirth cycle. Shedding identities. Shedding outdated structures, systems, people etc in our lives.
This is the point where we can start wearing the new clothes. Or trying on the new wings (hey butterfly babe- I see you!)...
One big lesson that I have been contending with is having to face all the places and situations where I lost (or gave away) my value and worth- giving away too much, staying too long, not creating safe and secure enough boundaries for my heart.
There is a big opportunity to recalibrate- and orient back to your original abundant design of wholeness and integrity- INSIDE TO OUT. I am definitely taking this opportunity seriously. Learning the lessons and moving on and up!

Wishing you the sweetest blessings on this juicy love love Taurus New Moon.
Last week, I began the Presence Process, by Michael Brown. This book and process was one that we had to read and participate in back when I was in more focused and dedicated breathwork trainings. It has been a staple that I return to again and again.
Each time I begin, I am reminded of all the ways I try to sabotage my time and experience. The practice is so simple:
Frequency: Twice a day (morning and evening)
Duration: 15 minutes per session
Technique: Consciously connected breathing (breathing in and out without pauses
But the resistance and procrastination is always so present! Which is wild, because I am ALWAYS grateful for having dropped in.
The book is worth reading. The process is worth doing. Join me if you like :)
If you’d like to try: search youtube for “the presence process guided breathing slower version” and you will find a super helpful breath guide for the 15 minute practice. (apparently if I link youtube videos in here- the email gets flagged, otherwise I would have linked it here!)
