Hi Friends,

Since the moment I realized how useful astrology could be as a tool for self-awareness, timing and empowerment, I’ve been on a mission to share it with you. Many days, it feels like I’m building the plane while it’s already rolling down the runway. I am chuckling as I type this because I’m okay with that. If I waited for my life to settle or for conditions to be perfect, I never would have started.

Similarly, this weekend’s new moon in Taurus guides us to access peace, ease and stability even when tension in the air makes us feel angry, frustrated, stuck or unsettled. Try to channel your inner calm. Protect your peace.

If you find yourself at a crossroads, unsure of which direction to take, spend time reflecting. Let the new moon work with you intuitively.

After this weekend, after you rest and the moon begins to grow in light, it will be time to move your plane down the runway.  You are not moving back toward what feels safe out of habit or fear, but toward the new path that calls you forward. Step into your creative instincts and genius. Come mid-May, many of us will feel the pull to move trusting that we are fully supported in bringing our creative work or a new vision out into the world.  We have the resources we need.

Retrograde Reflection 💭

If you’ve been feeling the retrogrades of Mercury, Venus and Mars these past few months you’re not alone. Many of us have had to slow down to review, reevaluate and revise significant parts of our lives. We are realizing that certain visions or dreams we held onto are not taking form the way we imagined. Whether it is a relationship, a career path or a business idea, it can feel disheartening when what we envisioned does not come to life.

At the same time, we are being shown the ways we are supported and loved. Even through the disappointments, even when the doors we wanted to open closed, other doors are opening.

Some of us are also seeing the rewards from the diligent efforts we’ve made to show up in integrity with ourselves and others.

This New Moon in Taurus brings us back to the basics: 🌱

• How do we relate to ease, stability and our sense of self-worth?
  

• How do we stay grounded in our beliefs and values, and embody them with motion and flow? (Thank you to Winnie for this beautiful reflection prompt.)

• What would it look like to build with what is true right now?

If things have felt heavy lately emotionally, financially and relationally you are not imagining it. The days leading up to this new moon have been thick with tension (especially from others who don’t know how to manage their frustrations or their struggles with a perception of lack of power).  But these days have also been ripe for reflection. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, consider this your confirmation.

Taurus invites you to move intentionally and to tell the truth about where you are.

Taurus helps us create something real and sustainable by staying committed to what matters most instead of forcing or rushing.

The seeds you plant now will grow slowly and steadily, but with strength and staying power.

You do not have to sprint. 

You do not have to be perfect. 

But you do have to start.

How I Can Help 📞

I know many of us are already feeling the post-retrograde shifts. In recent conversations, I’ve heard from friends navigating major life developments since the Virgo eclipse last month.

The Libra full moon on April 12 has been spotlighting our relationships too, showing us what needs to go, or rebalance and rebuild.

If you are feeling stuck or unsure, or if you need confirmation that it’s time for you to move toward the new, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I would love to support you and share tools for working with your astrology chart.

Wishing you a peaceful rest of the weekend.  I hope you give yourself rest and let yourself enjoy something simple and good.

Sent with love,

P.S. The seeds you plant during this new moon matter. Start from truth. Build what supports your peace. Let the rest fall away. If you’re ready to plant with intention, I’d be honored to supply the water. 💦🌱✨
