“Navigating out of the Abyss, One Step at a Time”

Saturday’s Taurus New Moon has us reassessing how to effectively navigate out of the darkness. It occurs right before Mercury, Mars and Venus all prepare to change signs (into Gemini, Taurus, and Cancer respectively). With Mars and Venus in a sextile and Mercury powerfully connecting with Uranus and trining Pluto/sextiling Neptune, there is supportive energy for the light of a new direction to emerge after this lunation.

The Tarot Majors associated with this New Moon include The Hierophant (Taurus), The Empress (Venus rules Taurus), and The World (Saturn rules Taurus’ 3rd decan). This decan also holds the strategic power of the King of Swords and the effort-evaluating energy of the 7 of Pentacles. Together, they tell a story of strategic planning and reassessing options as one chapter ends and another is in its gestation phase.

The Sun and Moon meet in the Depth Sabian Expression in Taurus 26 – A man serenading his love. This symbol speaks to doing (and caring) what’s appropriate or expected of us and using our voice to sway to hearts and minds of others. What’s still unknown is what outcome or reaction will come of our efforts.

The I Ching activation falls in Line 2 of Hexagram 8, Holding Together, which reminds us not to worship the undeserving. Stand firm in your own inner truth and know what you truly want before coveting attention or favors from others. This line changes Hex 8 into Hexagram 29, The Abysmal, which describes the beginning of an awakening journey out of an abyss/pitfall and advises caution and seeking only small gains.

Use this stability-focused Taurus New Moon to carefully and strategically craft plans for a brighter, more abundant future. Illuminating insights are incoming.
