The Taurus New Moon

The Taurus New Moon occurs early in the sign and it is a little different this year then what one would expect from this earthy, solid, conservative, security and pleasure oriented sign.  That's because the degree of this new moon is close to the planet Uranus.  So instead of delving deeper into traditional modes of expressing the pleasure principle and accruing financial wealth the planet Uranus says its time to shake things up a bit and do something opposite the traditional Taurus energy.  Rebellion is in the air these days and this new moon can trigger more rallies, marches and protests as people feel their freedom is being limited and restricted.  There is social upheaval and challenges to the established order.  

Money is one of the big talking points of this sign.  Everyone's income and earning potential has been turned upside down.  For many that has been an extreme income reversal in the loss of work, but there are others that surprisingly have had an uptick in finances because of the nature of their profession.  Those that have been lucky should use the humanitarian Uranian energy to share their good fortune with others.

Everyone has to be more innovative in discovering how to sustain or revive their earning potential.  It's time to plant the seeds to try to insure the future.  This new moon is much more psychological this year because we all must delve deep into our inner resources and discover what reserves of talent lie deep in the soul that have heretofore been untapped or neglected.  It's time to take the sap out of the tree and make something sweet with it.  

On a practical level if you've had cabin fever and have over indulged in Taurus pastimes of overeating, being a couch potato, watching too much TV, and laying in your pajamas all day, then reverse the trend by getting outside to experience the glory of Mother Nature.  Awaken the body and the physical senses.  Walk in the mountains, by the water, bask in the sun and spend time listening to the birds, watching the sky and observing life unfolding all around you.  Our lives may have been halted temporarily but nature lives on, and spring is in full bloom expressing her beauty and bounty, so observe and take a lesson from Mother Nature's notebook.  Get your body moving again!

Because there's a lot of volatility in the sky the next few days watch for sudden unexpected outburst and fits of temper.  Watch how the Earth might reflect that energy through storms, earthquakes and volcanos.
