New Moon in Pisces: Feeding Spirit

Happy New Moon in Pisces!

As it goes in astrology, New Moons are an auspicious occasion for setting intentions to manifest something wonderful. With today's New Moon occurring in the dreamy, watery energy of Pisces,  we can produce the best results by focusing our desires on creating a space for more creativity and spiritual centeredness in our everyday lives. As many of us have witnessed or experienced firsthand, there is much pain and suffering in the world. However, the truth of Pisces is that while things sometimes fall apart around us, many times beyond our control, we preserve and buoy ourselves through a trust and embodiment of all that is still good (faith + intuition +compassion+ unabashed creativity). In Pisces, we go with the flow instead of resisting or control freaking. Here, we take simplicity as our mantra and indulge in anything that nourishes the soul.

While we still have so many planets in water signs (plus Mercury Retrograde) many of us may be feeling sluggish or overwhelmed. Much of this may be a side effect of trying to do too much during a time (Pisces Season) when we should be unplugging, resting, and replenishing. This is a perfect time to seek out the healers, those gifted with the powers to calm and strengthen the mind, body, and spirit. Aries season will be upon us soon and with the fiery energy that the time of The Warrior will bring, we will need all the strength we have to keep up with our daily demands. Consider this New Moon a special gift from the Universe to (finally) take care of the tender parts of you and act on inspiration. Then watch what magic unfolds for you over the next six months.

Taurus Season: Planting the Seeds

Happy Birthday, Taurus!

The sun has officially begun its tour of Taurus where it will remain up until around May 21st. For many of us Taurus energy represents the areas of our lives where we seek out and create physical comfort, as Taurus represents an earthy, palpable kind of mojo. Taurus wants to give you something you can feel--something you can hold on to (cue Bilal please )--like the stem of a Riedel wine glass, the curve of a hip or a shoulder, a moral code, a Basquiat, a homemade meal.

I think it's fitting we get a New Moon in Taurus on April 21st to kick of this season. Coming in right after Aries, Taurus sits near the beginning of the zodiac, providing a stabilization or continuity to the fresh, regenerative energy brought in from its fire sign cousin. In keeping with the theme of newness and fresh beginnings (think springtime!), the New Moon combined with Taurean energy adds a favorable element to the cosmic mix creating the perfect time for us all to plant seeds for our next initiative.

And since this is Taurus we are talking about, that initiative should be something to boost our resources (financial, physical, etc.)--something we can build steadily over time and enjoy in this material world. If we use the power of this New Moon to set our intentions into action, we should begin to see results of our labor in a relatively short period of time. The seeds that have been planted will bloom.
