I noticed Guccis Love Parade Campaign this week, with its theme of a hedonistic dinner party, I thought, classic Taurus!! As it turns out most of the featured stars have prominent Taurus placements–well cast-especially for a luxury label.
△Miley Cyrus> Taurus asc
△Snoop Dogg> Taurus asc
△Jared Leto> Taurus asc
△Liu Wen > Taurus Moon
△Beanie Feldstein > Venus in Taurus

△The original Guccio Gucci had a beautiful placement of Venus conjunct Neptune in Taurus, with Pluto in Taurus as well. He certainly built to last!
△Personally, I’m forever sporting a creature comfort-loving, practical, arts and beauty appreciator/creator, open to hedonism and velvet-covered everything, long vegan lunches that merge into dinner time, Taurus rising! What area of your chart is lit up by the Sun’s light over Taurus season? Note what this luminary reveals on its annual sojourn.

That said, with a nose for quality Taurus does adore luxury as much as it appreciates rustic, bucolic, pastoral delights..dirt cheap. If there’s something Taurus likes, it’s a bargain!! Taurus likes growth- to accumulate if not hoard, not spend. So don’t think you’ll be emptying the coffers this season just because it’s ruled by Taurus. Eco, upcycling and slow practical arts are all themes we’ll continue to see as cottage core grounds in over the Uranus through Taurus era. So start kneading that sourdough and fermenting your homegrown organic cabbage; I hear it’s especially lovely with dill.

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.

YOU HAD ME AT HELLO ⭐️ Venus in Taurus ’17

Published:

June 2017

Venus has moved from her fiery Warrior Goddess incarnation in Aries to Earthy Goddess vibes in sensual Taurus.

From an Astrological perspective, the planet Venus signifies how we relate, & what we’re attracted to. In general, she has ‘rulership’ over areas such as values and therefore finance, art, romantic love and what we find pleasurable. (Know this and its a great way to win hearts and therefore minds 😉❤️). The sign hosting Venus adds a filter or overlay. In Taurus, the overlay is one of both pleasure and the practical hard work that goes into setting up a solid material foundation for your flavor of pleasure. Taurus Venus likes to indulge in and enjoy all those things she’s worked so hard for.

This month Venus in Taurus can help us plan and make practical steps toward manifesting our desires as well as enjoying the many pleasures in our daily lives. Since Taurus is co-ruled by Venus, this combo is as smooth and creamy as melted Belgian chocolate.

Venus begins her sojourn by reigning in the fire from a grand trine (super cosmic ease & gifts) from Make-it-happen Saturn in Sagittarius & The North Node of Destiny in self-expressive Leo. This cosmic hook-up enables Venus to ground some solid moves so make the most of the cosmic energy and either say yes when opportunity knocks or knock on doors and make your own!

It’s all about the collab with Venus, who can you partner with to move you both toward your dreams? Uranus is still conjoined with Venus, hot-wiring a jump to the next level. Push your usual comfort zone, 💫 TIP- do things differently for new and different results.

The ‘house’ Venus is gracing in your birth chart shows us where to expect this smooth operator to be serenading us, for example ; either we’ll meet her in the form of a neighbour (3rd house) colleague (6th house), or we’ll be the one working the charm with networking career moves (10th house). I’m hosting her in my 12th house so I’m expecting some fab dreams, smooth progressive meditations and practical/financially viable downloads from the collective conscious.
With pleasure,

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

Taurus is an Earth sign and rules the natural world, Earth, nature, our bodies.

Touch. Taste. Smell. 

Natural, organic food that nourishes the body..beautiful scented natural oils..you get the picture.
A hangover from Christian, if not many religions generally, is one of distrusting the natural world, and especially our bodies. If you’ve internalized any of this body shame, or find you project it onto others, this is the time to reclaim your power. Value your body as the microcosm and our Earth as the Macrocosm for what it truly is..the vehicle and temple that houses our soul and allows us to experience this material realm. In short, a world where individuals can love themselves is a world where that respect is passed on to all around us. It’s no coincidence that our world is as polluted and disrespected as our bodies. When as individuals we can be happy with, and accept ourselves exactly as we are, well, hello liberation!

In terms of resources, how can you be of service to others if you can barely get by yourself? Another religious hangover is the concept of duality…to be abundant spiritually is perceived as separate to being abundant on the material plane. As long as duality exists we will continually strive away from, or toward, rather than encompass the entire spectrum that is true reality. Use this New Moon energy to be in the NOW. Appreciate and be open to the flow of creative energy that powers all material things so you can allow it into your life, and therefore be a great resource for service on a scale that can make the kind of difference you know you would love to make.

For the more adept Star Gazers, look at the sign on your 2nd house, plus the aspects to its ruler…you’ll be able to pinpoint exactly why your highest values are what they are.

Eg I have Gemini on my 2nd house cusp, so information and ideas are high on my values list, the ruler Mercury is conjunct Venus, so I want to inform women..that Venus/Mercury (in Sag) conjunction is square Pluto..so I want to empower women through information and education…and it’s true, lifelong wish right there.
The sign on your second house cusp points to your values, natural resources, and self-worth. It’s your ‘money’ house.

What are your highest values, and what do you need to do to bring yourself into alignment with them?

With warmth and regard beloved,

Vanessa Montgomery
