The Key Energies with the New Moon in Taurus

With the New Moon in Taurus, we are being guided by the Bull (or Ox).  So much can be learnt from the Bull (or Ox) energy, it represents wealth, potency/fertility, the value of a steady dependable work ethic  done through patience and tenacity and holding true to our values.

We welcome the physical fertility - the cow (female) symbolises motherhood and nourishment through her milk while the bull (male) also symbolises nourishment but it is through the meat is can provide if that is a path you choose. Hence, it is a symbol of fertility through sacrifice.

Bull energy inspires us to focuses on our inner power and the ability to gather strength be it to complete a task or stand by our values\convictions. (When an bull or ox doesn’t want to move  then they will not be moved!).

“Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.”

~Henry David Thoreau

Earth influence

With Taurus we are in the Earth element. ""The ancients knew there was no separation between themselves and Mama Earth. They sensed that natures sacred flora and fauna have the power to awaken the soul. With Earthly Taurus the connection to nature is so strong that the moon is said to be at her best in this fertile sign. In our busy world, it's easy to lose touch with nature. Fortunately with the moon in Taurus you can hear the Earth's call to remind you to engage in the natural world, to reconnect."

The Earth element also connects us with our material world, grounds us in practical action and thought too. 

Venus influence

Taurus is ruled by Venus,  brings appreciation of all beauty and the sensual.  The Venus linked with Taurus (compared to Libra's Venus)  bestows the pleasure in the joys of the material world - art, food, all things enjoyed by the senses, sensuality and all things that make us happy. These may seem materialistic focused, but keep through Venus we are also reminded of the abundant beauty of the world. 

Astrological House influence

With this moon we are in the life area of the 2nd house, this is the house of Wealth, Profession and Values but we are looking deeper than simply material wealth but abundance at all levels inside and out.

This moon cycle is asking you to explore what wealth and abundance feels like for you. 

“Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns it on his(her/their) fellow (hu)man.”

~Kahlil Gibran
