My Moon Musings

The last Aries new moon came to help you to start a whole new life journey and begin again. Then, to illuminate your fears and desires was the Scorpio full moon. Now, to help you to get regulated and rooted so that you can rise is the Taurus new moon.

This new moon is the biggest call to freedom and awakening, but from a place of being anchored and rooted in who you are, what you’re here for and what you want.

I often use the phrase ‘root to rise’ when talking about the Taurus moon but it could not be truer than right now, and I’ll also add regulated.

The world as we know is getting quicker and louder and with Uranus recent move into Gemini, especially as Uranus is in an out-of-sign conjunction with Mercury and the moon, it’s likely to feel quicker at this moon.

You may feel a real sense of overwhelm, overload and agitation and as though you are being pulled in too many different directions by too many different demands on you and your time and attention, and the truth is that you are and this moon wants to show you that. 

The world is not going to get any slower or quieter as it crumbles and remember I’ve told you that the greatest currency nowadays is your attention, as this is how they keep us looking outside of ourselves for answers, worth, happiness and purpose and in a perpetual scroll state.

This moon wants you to take back your attention from anywhere it’s scattered. When your attention is scattered your power and awareness leaks and this is when we are more likely to feel lost, uncertain, confused and afraid and further look to the outside world for assurances, certainty and a sense of safety.

This moon wants you find all of this within you. True safety and security can only ever be found within you, anything outside of you can be taken away or change in any moment and when we find our anchor in these things’ life can never truly feel stable, which causes us to further try to control and seek stability from ‘out there’ and on the cycle goes.

The only way we can ever truly be free – to be ourselves, make a change, take a leap or a risk, set a boundary, do something different, step outside the norm or anchor in our soul desires – is when we feel safe, and that safety comes from within us, not from outside.

This moon is asking you to root into a new spiritual presence and power, into deeper self-trust, into slower more intentional living, so that from here you can receive and anchor in the new frequencies coming into earth and rise.
