Setting Intentions with the Taurus New Moon
Monday, May 2, 11:50 p.m. PDT / 2:50 a.m. EDT
12 degrees and 30 minutes of Taurus

The Moon will be in the sign of Taurus all day on Monday and Tuesday. When the Moon travels through Taurus we are each given an opportunity to honor all things earthly.  In the sign of the bull, the Moon is ruled by Venus and becomes dignified as it grants Venusian prospects of good fortune.  Under Taurus’ lunar influence we may want to take time off, relax, and experience the finer things in life.  You may find yourself seeking emotional security, comfort and the sensual pleasures of gourmet food, fine wine and chocolate.

Because Taurus is associated with security and what we value, it is connected Astrologically to our personal financial security. In our Western world we often find ourselves associating our personal value and self-worth with our growing or diminishing financial status.  Therefore, you may ponder your personal values and self-worth during this potent lunar phase.

Taurus New Moon phases are auspicious times to contemplate and initiate new intentions for the following:

• Developing an appreciation and enjoyment of beauty and the finer things in life without the desired need to possess or own.
• Honoring and nurturing your precious time based on your individual gifts and values.
• Cultivating self-worth that radiates inner security regardless of your financial status.

(The next Full Moon Ceremony Maria Alvarez and I co-facilitate will occur under the powerful sign of Scorpio on Sunday, May 15, at 4pm.)
