Taurus New Moon: LUX EARTH

Published:

Today marks the New Moon in TAURUS – Here’s what it means and how to make it work for you.

Sign by sign, the Moon cycles her way through the zodiac, giving us a New and Full Moon with each passing month – spending 2.5 days in each sign monthly.

In Astrology, the Moon represents our emotional core, our feels. She determines our safety, security and nurturing needs. Look up into the dark heavens, notice what’s drawn to your surface once you quiet your mind.

As the second sign of the zodiac, earth sign Taurus encourages you to take stock, ground, and structure for a firm foundation. She’s immovable (read, stubborn) when she feels harried and likes to get her tasks finished.

Venus ruled, she’s all about acquisition and stabilizing resources. ‘Mine’, is a core motto of Taurus. She loves to OWN things. Tangible, real, high quality, things. Yes, she thinks she owns you!

Manifesting with the Lunar cycle

The New Moon is the moment to plant seeds you want to germinate in your life. Write your intentions down or make a vision board for clarity and focus.

Set your intentions

Here are some examples of intentions using Taurus themes and keywords. Aim for within 24 hours of today, May 5, 8.45 a.m AEST- which is peak New Moon.

“I easily know my worth and value my gifts, effortlessly demanding fair and equal exchange”
“I easily build a solid, secure, financial and emotional base”
“I easily use my resourcefulness to make the most of every situation and challenge”
“I easily see and appreciate the value in everyone I meet, as they see and appreciate the value in me”
“I enjoy all the bounty Earth has to offer”
“I love and respect my body and the pleasure it brings me”
“I handle my resources in ways that are in my overall best interests”
“I easily own and live in comfortable, beautiful and peaceful surroundings”
“I easily find myself keeping my word and being a person others can rely on and trust”
“I consciously and consistently experience feelings of self-worth in every area of my life”

A supportive trine aspect to retrograde Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn, the sign of long-range planning, suggests planting seeds for the long haul. What and where do you want to set down roots that can support your life and vision?

This New Moon has a mystic vibe as it’s in an easy flow with magical Neptune in Pisces. (sextile aspect). So manifesting is potent. Ritual is the earth aspect of manifesting as it grounds intentions.

Join me on Karlas 8-day business motivation and manifestation challenge, beginning May 5 on this New Moon. On day 8 I’ll join you live and you’ll have the chance to win my book Star Power. Learn more and sign up here.

TAURUS NEW MOON In your chart

Look for 14 degrees TAURUS in your birth chart. This new Moon falls in this part of your birth chart revealing where you’re naturally cautious, determined and need to see solid growth. You’ll have an eye and talent for both acquisition and practical or artistic skills.

To learn which area of life this New Moons manifesting is best planted for you – where and how to activate Neptune – where Pluto and Saturn are compelling you to get to the core of and transform your life – book in for a consultation with me or order your recorded astrology reading from my ‘readings’ page.

VESTAL & VIRILE 🌙 Virgo New Moon ’17

Published:

Sept 20, 2017

On New Moons release the past, any habits, conditioning, thoughts, beliefs that aren’t authentic or no longer serve you. At this time the Moon and Sun are united at the exact same degree in the sky, merging both conscious and unconscious aspects of our mind. Energy is bought into a contemplative, reflective and quiet mood.

This makes rich soil for hacking your inner/higher self/subconscious. Get that 95% of your brain on board for future goal setting and planning.
Write down what you are releasing, then burn them as you visualise and feel yourself let go with love and gratitude for how they have served you up until now.

 

New Moons are about Manifesting, so next plant the seeds of intention you want to sew, then water them with action. Write up to 10 intentions or affirmations to bring into your life over the next six months, by the Full Moon in VIRGO. This is when the Sun & Moon are opposite each other facing off in polarity.

 

To take it a step further draw or make a vision board for your plans, make sure you add a fruition date. Add potency by fuelling your vision with strong emotions, work in the positive rather than from a place of lack, fear etc. Seeds you sew in the mix will most likely germinate so make sure you cultivate exactly what you want.

 

Focus on areas and approaches that VIRGO rules, such as:

 

  • Making order from chaos
    Organising
    Health
    Minds affect on the body/bodies affect on the mind
    Digestion
    Assimilation of ideas, experience and nutrients
    Daily routine and ritual
    Inner sanctum
    Self sufficiency
    Service
    Cleanliness
    Perfection

Eg;

  • I easily turn chaos into constructive order in my life
    I easily appreciate what’s working well in my world
    I am so grateful for all the gifts that I have and receive that more continue to come my way
    I easily see and embrace opportunity as it presents
    I easily focus my energy and attention on what’s most practical and useful
    I bring dedicated practical effort, efficiency, routine and order to every area of my life
    I easily establish and maintain healthy daily nutritional and fitness habits.
    I easily find myself in the present moment, using it to make my dreams a reality
    I easily find myself asserting healthy boundaries in a way others hear and respect

 

Earth sign Virgo knows the devil’s in the details, efficiency, exacting focus and practical day to day steps that keep the show on the road.  Following Leos show pony self expression party it’s time to clean up and take stock. Prep for the next sign of Libra.  Have our own backyards ready to meet in equal partnership. Are you up to speed?

This New Moon is in an awkward 3 way (T-square) with terse task master Saturn (square) and wounded healer Chiron. Themes of doing the work and facing the responsibilities it takes to expand our empire, while facing our more sensitised wounds abound. Virgos strength is in analytical and practical service. Survey the field, draw up your game plan and dig in. Get your hands dirty and get the job done.

 

In my own life I’ve had so much change, in all 3 major areas of life. I’ve realised that the most problem and pain has come from attachment to ideas based on other people or externally rather than being in the power I have to take my own reality toward my vision. All we have is now and where we’re at, with what we’ve got, so start here now. I’ve also realised that expanding out of a comfort zone, is, well, uncomfortable. Keep at it and you’ll grow into a new fit or stay and stagnate. Square aspects demand we push through the crusted bitumen of familiar experience into the next phase of our growth cycle. So push and keep pushing, prodding, plodding and plowing. Once you pick up speed you’ll be like a locomotive, no stopping you!

Only you can bring your unique take to what ever you apply yourself. Seek inside for what you truely want to bring into the manifest world. Be at cause not effect. Virgo is about self referencing the inner sanctum, hence the Vestal Virgin tag. Unbalanced

Virgo seeks external validation, however this leads to chaos with eruptions ensuing to get us back to order and step one, self referencing.

Do the work, get the job done.

In love & service,
Vanessa Montgomery

COMFORT ZONE 🌿 Taurus New Moon

Published:

On New Moons release the past, any habits, conditioning, thoughts, beliefs that aren’t authentic or no longer serve you. At this time the Moon and Sun are united at the exact same degree in the sky, both their lights blocked from our sight, merging both conscious and unconscious aspects of our mind. Energy is bought into a contemplative, reflective and quiet mood.
This makes rich soil for contacting your inner/higher self/subconscious, planning and setting foundations and goals for your path.
Write down what you are releasing, then burn them as you visualize and feel yourself let go with love and gratitude for how they have served you up until now.

New Moons are about Manifesting, so next plant the seeds of intention you want to sew, then water them with action. Write up to 10 intentions or affirmations to bring into your life over the next six months, by the Full Moon in TAURUS. This is when the Sun & Moon are opposite each other at their extreme ends of mutual polarity.

To take it a step further, draw or make a vision board for your plans, make sure you add a fruition date.

Focus on areas and approaches that TAURUS rules, such as:

  • Building things of beauty that endure longer than oneself
    Practical beauty, ie the craftsperson/craft
    The senses/ sensual pleasure/pleasure of the flesh
    Property development
    The dollars and cents/wealth accumulation
    Natural resources, skills, and talent
    Smelling the flowers
    Slowly and steadily, step by step, brick by brick
    Taurus rules the neck/throat
  •  Eg
    “I easily express my natural abilities for fair and equal exchange”
    “I easily know my worth and demand fair and equal exchange financially”
    “I easily build a solid financial and emotional base”
    “I easily use my resourcefulness to make the most of every situation and challenge”
    “I easily see the value in everyone I meet as they see the value in me”
    “I enjoy all the bounty Earth has to offer”
    “I love and respect my body and the pleasure it brings me”
    “I handle my resources in ways that are in my overall best interests”
    “I live in comfortable, beautiful and peaceful surroundings”
    “I easily find myself keeping my word and being a person others can rely on and trust”
    “I consciously and consistently experience feelings of self-worth in every area of my life”

This New Moon is a great opportunity to build up any foundations and resources that need attention, both financially and emotionally. The aim here is security. Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign. The first of the Earth signs and only second in the zodiac Taurus is concerned with ‘mine’. The motto is ‘I have’. If its just talk, Taurus isn’t interested. My body, my resources, show me the money.

The financial situation we find ourselves in often reflects our sense of self-worth. We all have natural resources and talents we can trade in fair exchange for a good living, if not a truly lux one! If your self-worth could do with some work, then get to it and bring in the appreciation and gratitude for yourself. Taurus is patient, diligent and works hard. Where do you see yourself? Plan. Set your goals, look at what you have to do to get your abilities on point and to get there, and get started. Step by step is all it takes. Break it down into bite-size steps. Reverse engineer. Trust your gut? Then just get started.

If you self-sabotage or seem to have blocks to money and resources then therapy can often reveal the hidden benefits of not coming into your material power. Coaching can build up where you may not have had the opportunity to develop a strong self-esteem. Go back to the drawing board and draw up a new model that will serve you better.

Taurus is ruled by Venus in her practical manifestation. Any arts you are drawn to? Now’s the time to work on or take up your craft.

The ‘house’ of your natal chart this New Moon falls in tells us where in life you need a solid foundation, employing a step by step approach to achieving goals. It also shows us where you need to stop, smell the flowers and enjoy the material and sensual wealth of this earthly life.

Taurus rules the throat, what area of life do you need to open that larynx and belt out your voice?
Speak your truth, your needs, and your boundaries, or better yet, power ballad it.

This month the New Moon falls in the 12th house of my natal chart, the most unearthly area of life ruling the non-manifest, dreams and the collective unconscious. I’ve been readying the ground to practice lucid dreaming in an effort to move forward into more spiritual practices. Also inspired to build on musical ability as a spiritual practice, step by step (ie express my self vocally beyond the crushing and strangling of ego-very 12th and a big personal struggle when it comes to singing).

Where are you planting your seeds of intention? Any Tauruses out there with some solid guidelines for how best to direct this part of life? Any insider trading on the Taurus mindset, and how to get sh*t done?!

In solidarity,
Vanessa Montgomery

ORDER VS CHAOS : Full Moon in VIRGO

Published:

The Full Moon brings to the surface our instinctual, emotional truth…like sea life drawn to the surface of the water by lunar light.

Look for the fruition of seeds planted 6 months ago on the VIRGO New Moon. What were you dreaming of, or planning for then? What is your harvest looking like now?
Refresh your memory, here’s the last New Moon VIRGO Post.

VIRGO NEW MOON 2016

This Full Moon has some tense aspects as well as a super helpful one.

In short, you’re going to have to do some work to make the most of what it offers.
If you haven’t sorted, tidied and cleaned your way out of any uncomfortable feelings this Moon has bought up, I advise you to do that. As well as reflect and just feel your feelings.
Full Moons are always opposite the Sun. This month the Sun is conjunct Chiron the wounded healer and Mercury the planet of communication, all in watery, nebulous and deep feeling Pisces.

 

The Inner Critic

Chiron conjunct the Sun can mean wounding to the sense of self/ego as well as a person who is a sensitive healer due to their own wounding.

The Sun often represents our Paternal figure. The combo of Sun, Chiron, and Mercury can be read as wounding from the way our Paternal father communicated with us. Perhaps he wasn’t supportive, perhaps he was critical, or for some, he may have been downright nasty. In opposition to this month’s Full Moon, you may experience a reprise of your inner critic, someone triggering old wounds, or they could seem to float up out of the distant past. Either way, its time to heal.

The other side of Chiron Sun is that once you’re conscious of your own wounds you are able to go beyond the wall of self and ego, and recognize in others what you yourself have suffered from and learned to heal, and so heal others. Where are you currently at on this path?

The Sun combo and Moon are in a very tense ‘t-square’ with Saturn in Sagittarius, further emphasizing the paternal connection. The Mood is somber, burdened and there may be either too much responsibility placed on you or you may be struggling to shirk your responsibility which isn’t working either.

Plans or emotional connections may seem blocked, however just do the work, shoulder your load/or set boundaries if someone else isn’t and the work will get you through. Be patient and persistent, yet gentle on yourself.

An easy trine between the Full Moon and Pluto, the planet of regeneration, helps our feelings or some deep truth to surface in a way that helps us clear the path and cut dead wood in order to resurrect into authenticity.

 

To Heal it you’ve got to Feel it 

Since our perception of not only our experience, but of ourselves is simply a collection of memories, and the brain has been proven to be ‘plastic’ (highly adaptive), I want to remind you that you are the master creator of your reality. There is so much reading on that subject matter, with reams of scientific proof crossing into the mystical. If you find yourself repeating situations, critical self-dialogue, feelings or a shitty version of reality or excuses and even you are sick of your own voice, you have a choice. Do the work, or keep complaining, blaming and finding excuses.

Virgo is an innately practical sign of service. Find the key to unchain yourself from any ‘story’ that doesn’t support the best possible you (and be honest about the hidden benefits of your story so far) so that you may be of service to yourself as well as others.

Often it’s the hardest work that reaps the most reward so I see this Full Moon as an opportunity for personal truth, cleansing, and clearing of the soul.

Much compassion beloved,

Vanessa Montgomery
