New Moon in Taurus: Manifest Your Abundance
The New Moon in Taurus is happening on Saturday, May 16th at 4:02pm EST. New Moon's are the first phase in the lunar cycle and symbolize a time for new beginnings, planting seeds, and manifesting your goals for the lunar cycle.
The Sun and Moon are both in Taurus, the grounded earth sign of stability, determination, resourcefulness, and material security. This combination is the perfect energy to manifest your financial and material dreams. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and finances. The moon is also exalted in Taurus, it feels comfortable being there, it thrives there. So this energy of loving, beautifying Venus and the happy, comfortable moon helps to push your planted seeds into fruition.
This New Moon is also conjunct (right next to) Mercury, the planet of communication. This is the time to speak your goals into existence. Don't think small. Let your wildest, biggest dreams come to the forefront of your mind. Where do you see yourself in 6 months? What do you want to create, attract, and manifest? Write it out. Speak it out. The universe speaks in "yes" language, so talk about your dreams as if they've already been accomplished and created and the universe will respond with YES.
Scripting can be a very powerful manifesting tool during this time. Scripting is the act of writing out your goals, in PAST tense, as if they already happened. Write them out as if you're journaling or telling a friend about everything that's happened in the "past" ( but actually the next) 6 months or 1 years time.
Mars, the planet of energy and drive, and Chiron, the asteroid called the "wounded healer" which represents our deepest wounds and greatest strengths, are also conjunct - right next to each other during this New Moon. So there's an energy around triggers and old wounds that need to be healed and let go of. The Taurus New Moon is a very healing moon, so let this activation help you honor, acknowledge the past in order to make room for the new energies you're manifesting during this time.
