Blog Post 22 April 2020
On 22/23 April 2020 we have a New Moon in Taurus and an opportunity for new beginnings. New Moons always symbolise a new start and they are our monthly opportunity to set our intentions and put out there what we wish to achieve over the next 28 days. This New Moon will align with both Uranus and the Sun already sitting in Taurus bringing support and innovation to our month ahead.
Taurean energy is not known for its spontaneity, its lightning fast reactions or a need to stand up and be heard, but one thing it knows is that once its mind is made up, it can be very difficult to change it. It is open to long and in-depth study and learning, and it understands that the best things in life come through focus, work and taking things one step at a time. It also truly understands how to value and take care of what means the most to it.
We have all had many weeks now of isolation, social distancing and other restrictions and during this time we have all been gifted the opportunity to go within and look at who we are and what is important to us. With this New Moon, we can now set our intentions for the month ahead and we can do so with the support of the Sun which will allow us to prioritise our focus, and with the help of Uranus, who will bring up and make us aware of solutions and insights that may not have been apparent to us before.
Taurus energy is very sensitive and very stubborn, and it also enjoys to learn and educate itself. However, it can very easily become stuck when it comes across something that it does not agree with or that does not appeal to it. Taurean souls, for instance, are usually very generous people, however, they tend to be generous with everything except their time. Over this last month or so we have had plenty of “time” full stop and it was designed to allow us to re-set our lives, our values, our beliefs and our perceptions.
Self-care becomes a real priority this lunar month as well. Whilst in lockdown we may not have been able to indulge in our usual self-care as we know it, but we have had every opportunity to do a spring-clean of our inner world and take a good look into our feelings, motivations, understandings and thoughts. It is within our own minds that we often do the most damage to ourselves and Uranus, the Sun and the Moon will be making us very aware of all of this over the month ahead. Self-care means YOU being kind to YOU and as the Moon rules our emotional body, NOW is the time to set your intention for not just the month ahead, but for your entire life to be one of peace and kindness to yourself, as well as to the rest of the planet.
So as the Moon and the Sun now move to put us in place to slowly and methodically work towards our goals and move ourselves back to “normality”, Uranus is going to make sure that whatever direction, belief or area we are moving into will be different to what it was before, and that our eyes are wide open. Uranus brings in the curveballs and opens our minds to other ways of looking at things, at what we may not be aware of, and he encourages us to think and look outside the box for our solutions in life.
We can all use this steady Taurean Sun energy to calmly and carefully look at ALL that is being presented to us in the world at present, and then we can use the energy of Uranus to allow ourselves to think a little differently and open our minds to the bigger picture, and then we can call on the New Moon to allow us to intuitively feel what is right or wrong for us as individuals and as a collective.
We cannot go back to the old ways and expect our lives to go back to “normal”. The ways in which we were living were not normal to start with, they were out-dated, corrupt, patriarchal and only serve the few rather than the masses. At this New Moon, the most powerful thing we can all do is to take the time to visualise a world of equality, fairness and abundance for all – a New World where we are free to be who we are and where we are not controlled by fear and the mighty dollar. So, I ask you all at the time of this New Moon to set your intentions for the type of world that you would like to live in and the type of world that you would want your children and grandchildren to also live in. At a time when it is easy to feel powerless and unable to actively contribute to the outside world, we can still make a difference in our own worlds and when these are in order, the energy they then give out enables communities, countries and the world to change too. New Moon Blessings to you all xox
