Thursday – May 13 – 9:04pm (PST)
Mercury in Taurus until June 11, 2010.
This May New Moon is in the sign of Taurus, the first earth sign, and one that has a healthy relationship with Mother Earth. Taurus is considered to be the consummate gardener and a good steward to the natural world as it seeks to cultivate the best personal values as well as needed resources with the four ‘P’s namely; practicality, patience, persistence and perseverance.
We must look to the qualities of Taurus mentioned above and become urban spiritual warriors. We must search for alternative methods of caring for ourselves, our loved ones and our planet. Supporting your local economy and slowing down your lifestyle are methods that can be easily integrated into your consciousness. See www.slowmoney.com and www.slowfood.com for ideas.
As we globally continue to experience natural as well as financial disasters we will require a much different unified awareness. We are already finding it necessary to search for new ways of doing business as these disasters unfold and demonstrate that what we took for granted with regards to what Mother Nature provided at no cost, will now be costly in ways we never could have imagined.
On a personal level, this New Moon in Taurus can be the start of a new garden for your overall life. Think about what you want to plant. Healthy soil, organic seeds, clear clean water, good sunlight. These are all necessary ingredients for a rich garden. The same applies to your life. Taurus moves slowly and steadily; always with practicality in mind. Start by thinking of ways of simplifying your life. What is practical here? What and how much do you really need? How can you become more productive and still live with a richness of spirit.
Make a list of what you want to plant in your life’s garden. Better food spiritually, emotionally and for your physical body. More time to celebrate you. A true commitment to living simply and unencumbered. Giving back to Mother Earth. Coming from a place of wealth rather than poverty.
Embrace the four ‘P’s.
