Today’s 50th anniversary of Earth Day coincides with the New Moon at 3 Taurus. This is a beautiful time to reconnect to the Divine Feminine and Mother Earth energies. As the first earth sign in the zodiac, Taurus rules Earth, land, fruitfulness, nature, trees, flowers, gardens, food, and property. The New Moon is always an awesome time to revisit your goals and set intentions. You can really manifest something meaningful and enduring that might surprise you! Consider honoring and celebrating the beauty of Gaia, Mother Earth today by enjoying nature, sitting outdoors, gardening or watching the sunset.
Stability and Unpredictability
The New Moon brings the opportunity to plant the seeds for the future. Taurus is an extremely fertile sign that will bring growth, but it will take patience. This is the sign that rules banks, money, and accumulating resources. Taurus also shows us how the need for financial security can impact our emotional and physical well-being. For now, the New Moon is offering a great time to invest in yourself. Instinctively, Taurus energy has a knack for hard work, money, building, saving, and they do so through persistence and a never give up attitude.
There are a few hurdles with this New Moon that emphasizes uncertainty and unpredictability. This can play out through your emotional reactions, relationships, health, job, home, career, and finances. As a long-term planetary transit (Uranus in Taurus), it has the potential to disrupt patterns that no longer serve you. Be mindful of the doors that open and how you can initiate growth.
Taurus is one of the fixed signs, and just like the Bull it can be stubborn and resistant to change. They get attached to the way it was or stuck in a routine that no longer serves their highest good. With the planet of change conjunct this New Moon, there is a long-term trend to mix things up, get out of a rut and switch things up in a big way. What area of your chart does Taurus rule?
Restrictions, Responsibilities, and Discipline
The planet Saturn recently moved into Aquarius and it is creating some friction with this New Moon. Saturn represents restrictions, rules, structure, and self-discipline. It kicks us into gear, makes us commit and play by the rules. This energy is all about doing the work to reach the end goal. With this planet, there are no shortcuts. It emphasizes making plans and sticking to a routine without cutting corners. Yet, in Aquarius it can unleash your inner rebel, or a deep desire to do things differently. It is all about breaking the barriers that you created. For example, this can play out in your love life though a safety net of boundaries that served you in the past, but also kept you single. Or perhaps, you created so many boundaries with your daily routine, that you sidelined a talent or dream?
Look at where Aquarius is in your chart, and you can see where your quirky, inventive, intellectual, unique, and rebellious nature might feel restricted. With the New Moon, you just might have an ah-ha moment, brilliant idea, solution or feel a deep urge to break away and have more freedom. The challenge with Saturn is feeling down and out or depressed by circumstances. It can also bring nervousness and anxiety. Again, this is a great time to infuse mediation and relaxation techniques into your routine.
Your Secret Garden
Not all of us have a green thumb, but you do have practical tools to nurture your values and build for the future. Taurus energy has tremendous willpower to focus on all the steps needed to expand and grow. What dormant talents do you have that you can begin to develop? Taurus vibes are financially conservative, and this New Moon is opening the doors to reevaluate what grounds you, how you manage money, and be consistent in the pursuit of your goals.
Sabian Symbol for the New Moon
The Sabian Symbol is an additional tool created in the early 20th Century by Marc Edmund Jones and clairvoyant Elise Wheeler. There are 360 different symbols that have been referred to an astrological mandala. The Sabian Symbol for 3 degrees Taurus is The Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow. According to Lynda Hill in her book The Sabian Oracle: 360 Degrees of Wisdom, she explains how this degree of the New Moon “speaks about connecting your inner thoughts with your rational conscious mind so you can communicate the feelings you wish to share. Like the ‘Rainbow’, this is not really about the elusive ‘Pot of Gold’ at its end, but rather it speaks of the wonder the rainbow creates as it links heaven and earth. Rewards will come from creative efforts built on talent and application. Good things sometimes just fall out of nowhere. The promise of riches, in whatever form they may be. Creative integration. Goals and ambitions. The search for treasure, fantasies, talent and beauty. Illusions versus reality.”
