Imagine a gentle breeze blowing over you, refreshing and calming your senses, and open your eyes slowly.
This simple exercise will help you stay grounded throughout your life and align you with the energy of this New Moon in Taurus.
New Moon and Emotions
People can find themselves reminiscing about their past, digging in the old memories, watching old videotapes and photos. This might happen because the zodiac Taurus likes to remember his past and view it romantically. Single people may find themselves texting their exes or stalking their crush. Don’t overdo it too much as it is just the lingering impact of this New Moon. Emotions felt will be light and pleasant.
If you have to forgive someone and move past the subject, here is how you can make use of this New Moon in Taurus. Sit in a cross-legged posture or on a chair or wherever you are comfortable and imagine the person who did some bad stuff to you. Try to remember the things they did to hurt you and pain you. Exhale sharply when needed if it pains remembering all the stuff. Imagine a gentle breeze blow over your face and remind yourself that what happened belongs to the past, not to the present. Remind yourself that you are in the present moment and the past cannot hurt you anymore. Remind yourself that you do not have to carry the burden of a memory of a person who hurt. Now, slowly drop it and feel yourself getting relaxed and lax. Slowly open your eyes when you are ready and smile.
You are free from the past.
New Moon and Love Relationships
It is not recommended to get into any kind of relationship during New Moons as in ancient times people talked about solitude and immersing themselves in it specifically on New Moons to harness the spiritual power that resides in each one of us. The New Moon in Taurus will impact people’s love relationships in that they will try to showcase one another their love through physical affection, being gentle, holding honest conversations, etc. So do not be surprised if your wife or your husband calls you out of the blue to hold a conversation over a cup of tea about something honest and simple like making a sweater!
The Universe works in a million different ways we are not aware of. Just like the Moon is part of this cosmos, we are a tiny part of this cosmos. Now, if all the tides rise in an ocean, who are we to resist the change that Moon brings about in our system? People may call Astrology is pseudoscience but we must remember that it is the knowledge that can be used to enhance one’s life, pseudoscience or not. Enjoy this New Moon and be conscious of what kind of change(s) it shall create.
