NEW superMOON Blessings: Grounding – Appreciating – Manifesting

NEW MOON in TAURUS

Taurus it’s your new beginning!  However, before you go charging off, remember that we are in a Snake year so steady progress, patience and quiet determination will get you much further than trying to go at it like a bull in a china shop.

For all of us, Taurus brings us the grounding we need after the whirlwind that was Aries season not to mention the effect the Eclipses, retrogrades and cosmic power surges had on us.  Taurus reminds us to slow down and savour the good things in life.  Taurus believes in quality over quantity and reminds us that we deserve to have and enjoy the best of things. 

I saw the image of a tree, standing tall strong and mature with an abundance of green leaves.  Taurus reminds you that your body is like a tree, it’s a bridge between heaven and earth, between giving and receiving.  It reminds you to connect with your body more, to listen to it and not override its messages.  Taurus also reminds you of your connection to Nature and encourages you to get outside and connect with the green and growing kingdom.

"The old people came literally to love the soil and they sat or reclined on the ground with a feeling of being close to a mothering power.

The soil was soothing, strengthening, cleansing and healing."

Luther Standing Bear (Oglala Sioux nation)

If you’ve been feeling a bit lost lately and finding it hard to concentrate, the New Moon energy will help you to relax, let yourself tune into your inner guidance and allow things to unfold organically, in their own time.  There’s no need to rush, there is plenty of time for all that you desire to manifest.  Get grounded first and make time to sit in the silence, so that you can hear the guidance that’s waiting to come through.  Cloud gazing is a great way to do this.

Taurus is practical and not afraid to put the hard work in to achieve what it desires.  This New Moon gives you a confidence boost and reminder that you deserve to have your dreams and goals come true.  Be confident in yourself, Grandmother Moon believes in you and I believe in you.  Taurus is powerful manifestation energy.  If you believe it, you will see it.  So, get off your butt and start making it happen.

Taurus reminds you that you are already surrounded in abundance, take a look around and give thanks for all that you already have.  Give thanks too for the people in your life who love you and believe in you.  It’s time to let those old ‘I’m not good enough’ stories go, this New Moon is giving you the boost you need to get going on those plans and dreams.  Gratitude is the key to manifesting more to be grateful for.

The challenge of this New Moon is that it highlights whether you are living authentically and truthfully or just pretending to, or lazily coasting along, it’s time to get real with yourself.  We are now living in the Era of Truth and deep down you already know what needs to change, you already know whether you are living truthfully.  It doesn’t have to be anything major (although it will for some), it could be simply changing the way your live your day-to-day life, the way you give away your power, the way you speak about yourself, or allowing people to push your boundaries.

If you’ve been feeling depleted, why is this?  What needs to change to help you fill yourself up again?  It’s a time of getting your priorities right, a time to take charge, a time to fill yourself up with what delights your Soul, feeds your Spirit and nourishes your body.

NEW MOON Ritual ideas

🌱Go outside in Nature and stand with your feet slightly apart, see if you can feel the heartbeat of Mother Earth through your feet.

🌿Breathe in the healing green energy of the plants and shrubs, fill your senses with Nature.

🌳Lean against a tree and tune into its vibration and strength.

💚Lie face down on the Earth, and feel your Sacral area connecting with Mother Earth, (you may feel a slight tug as your spiritual umbilical cord reconnects with the Earth mother and a pulsing sensation). Feel your Sacral being recharged.

📝Write your New Moon Commitment and Manifestation List, write the changes you know you need to make and how you will do this, write down what you will commit to in order to live your life truthfully and authentically, and the steps you will take towards that.  Write all that you wish to manifest. (28/29 April best days to do this).

🪴Buy a new plant to represent the growth of your dreams and treat it with tender loving care (and remember to treat yourself with tender loving care).

NEW MOON Affirmations

I commit to living truthfully and authentically

I take responsibility for the changes I need to make and I make them joyfully

 I believe in myself, I know that my dreams will come true slowly, steadily, delightfully

I know that I am worth all of this and even better

One of my favourite Native American Prayers comes from the Diné/Navajo nation,

Beauty to the left of me

Beauty to the right of me

Beauty in front of me

Beauty behind me

Beauty above me

Beauty below me

May I always walk in Beauty

It’s a great reminder of how to live your life.  ‘Beauty’ here means living your life in a sacred (beautiful) way - being aware of your footsteps and the impression you leave behind you (i.e. being responsible for the energy you emit and share), being aware and giving thanks for the beauty and abundance that is all around you, choosing to live in a beauty-full way.

May you always Walk In Beauty.
