New Moon in Taurus
Reconnect with the Seeds of your becoming
New Moons are the time when the seed of a new evolution of an aspect of ourselves is being sparked into germination
One little Star Seed - soul aspect- (of the many that you received at birth) will germinate at this New Moon to grow over the next six months and then be born into expression at the November Full Moon in Taurus.
New Moon in Taurus is an invitation to allow the light of these stars to germinate our Soul Truth.
Taurus ignites the liberation of our Soul Voice.
I invite you to take the time of this New Moon in Taurus to get out your journal from the 12 Nights of Winter and reflect on the information and the dreams you received on the 5th night as the seeds of what wants to come into expression this year was activated.
Even if you didn’t sit consciously with the 12 Nights last year, these seeds were activated and are within you.
During this New Moon we want to welcome the light to shine on these seeds, to encourage our ability to release our personal attachment ( Allow that what is to exist) and further develop our senses for our highest purpose ( cultivate our capacity ) to grow into its fullest expression.
So maybe take some time and create a sacred space. Light a candle, maybe burn your favorite herbs( or use your favorite fragrance), make an offering to the spirits of Summer and Earth, and welcome the light of Taurus infused Sun into your body to spark the germination of the star seed wanting to grow into expression now.
What this time is all about
These next two weeks are a time when your Ground wants to be cultivated so that your Soul Voice can grow strong and vibrant over the next 6 months.
The star seeds of our Soul aspects are like the seeds of Earth. Each one has the potential to grow and blossom into expression. But an acorn will only grow into the Oak it has the potential to be when it falls on fertile ground and the conditions are right.
What are the right conditions necessary for our star seeds to grow strong?
What does cultivating our Ground entail?
What this means for your body/mind
The seed on which the Taurus New Moon is shining its light needs comfort and contact nutrition.
We nurture our Ground with contact nutrition.
The gift of contact nutrition is accessed through the wetness of our eyes, the tremble and warmth of our voices, our hugs, and the tea and quietude we share.
Contact Nutrition is how we co-regulate.
It’s how we collect each other.
It’s how we attach.
It’s how we attune.
This is the only language our body understands- the language of relations.
If we have frozen energy (trauma) in our belly, if we couldn't digest what happened to us or is happening in the world around us, then our anxiety may be amplified. Caring for ourselves and providing a strong, stable nest for our Spirits may be challenging. So the more we can focus on co-regulation with other humans, and other-than-human-people, the more we gain the ability to care for ourselves in ways that nourish our life force.
Engaging in pleasurable ingestion behaviors is co-regulating through contact nutrition
Supportive practices for Taurus Season
We all need daily rituals and practices of care to create safety and security, nourish and focus our Soul Fire, and bring it into Right Expression—for our brilliance to rise in clarity and compassion and meet life as a regenerative force in this transitional time.
Practices, routines, and rituals that support our feeling of being safe (enough) and our sense of belonging are essential to our ability to create and nourish our boundaries.
Here are some of the ways we can support feeling Safe Enough and Belonging:
Contact Nutrition:
Sharing kind eye gaze (looking at someone or being looked at with crinkly eyes ☺️)
Expressive vocal modulation (hearing and speaking in friendly tones)
Safe, non-sexual touch (a hand on an arm, hugs, cuddles, massage…)
Synchronized movement & shared rhythm (such as chopping vegetables together, co-working with someone, group exercise…)
Relaxed and mindful ingestion behaviors (at minimum, eating without screens or distractions)
Track Your Cycles Through The Seasons
Tracking how we're feeling throughout the month gives us valuable knowledge we can use to plan for the times we regularly feel strong, stable, and creative, AND allows us to understand and support ourselves when we're not.
When you track your personal cycles you see how your own body’s energy responds to the ebb and flow of the days of the month and the seasons of the year and can plan and align your days in a way that is most powerful for you. You also begin to attune to the rhythms of nature and gain a deeper understanding of your place in the cosmos, as well as how to bring the most potent energy possible to what you wish to create in your life.
