The New Moon in Taurus on May 11, 2021 (at 15:00EST) is earthy & fertile.
Be in your body.
Get on the ground.
“humble yourself in the arms of the wild,
you’ve got to lay down low and
humble yourself in the arms of the wild,
you gotta ask her what she knows”
Bend down low.
If you do nothing else today, touch the Earth.
If you do nothing else today, sense your cells.
If you do nothing else today, get dirty. Eat food that grows where you grow. Enjoy the tactile sensations of being incarnate.
incarnate (adj.)
invested with bodily nature and form
Life comes to the Earth through our bodies, and replicates.
Soil, soul, propagation.
New Moons are for setting intentions. Starting new cycles. Planting seeds.
A Taurus New Moon offers rich, succulent soil in which to plant your seeds.
These now-beginnings are sure to take root.
Six months from now, on November 19, 2021, the Full Moon in Taurus (also a Lunar Eclipse!) the seeds we plant today will bear fruit.
Slowly, organically, as-you-feel innately prompted,
Plant seeds of prosperity.
Plant seeds of pleasure.
Plant seeds of resource & abundant return.
Under this Taurus New Moon, check your coffers.
What do you have? How are you resourced?
Is there anything in your care, in your possession, that you can tend to with deeper investment?
Right here, right now, what can you savor?
Are you willing to receive more fully? Are you willing to be received?
Taurus is the archetype of worth, value, and investment.
It is understood that we have the ability to foster growth based on where we collect resources.
We vitalize what is manifest as we spend & invest.
Time is a resource.
Attention is a resource.
Presence is resource.
Use the power of this New Moon to audit habits and, if needed, reset them to reflect your true values.
Where do you spend time? Where do you wish to invest your time?
What do you give attention to? What is worth your attention?
What will it cost you to become more present?
Investing in what you deem truly valuable will likely cost you.
It will cost you familiarity. Comforts. An encrusted sense of identity. Niceties. Falsehoods. The load you have been carrying. The ways you have been repressing or stagnating your evolution and life force.
But to build a life, and a world, out of the raw material of what truly nourishes and sustains you… it will be worth it.
Regardless of whether you are here in your body or gone, what are you banking on?
To what are you truly devoted?
What we are loyal to is what remains.
What we are loyal to is what is sustained.
What we are loyal to is what multiplies.
As for me? I cling to the Earth.
To her flesh. Her soil. Her food.
All that is holy to me. All that is holy to me.
I came from the body of my mother
And to Her flesh, I will return.
This is for you, Mira Lou.
This is for you, Susan Virginia.
This is for you, Virginia Rowley.
This is for you, Julia Braun.
This is for you, all the mothers. The vessels. The flesh and blood of life, river and soil.
Earth is abundant. Earth is forever. Earth is.
