New moon in Taurus
11.05.2021
First context as always to help connect the dots between the moon cycles
The last full moon in Scorpio 2 weeks ago was an emotional unearthing of past experiences that can feel utterly haunting and daunting when they arise. It was a powerful super moon so if things are still arising and swirling for you now please know you are not alone. We are all affected by the moon and this one was no fucking exception. Scorpio and the moon are not best pals, but this combination can be a total medicine once the trigger discharges and clarity floods through tears or a new idea of how you can be with your past without it running the show for your future. Scorpio gives us a burning torch and key saying do you really want to be free? Well here is a dark door down some ancient stairs, come with me and let’s go down together to see what you need to see and feel what you need to feel without fixing or judging it. It can be a lot. Shadow work always is when scorpio is around. Any human I know who is really conscious and embodied does this work. We have to be able to be with our grit as much our grace. This is life and it all has its place.
Scorpio is a very heady energy as well as emotional, it can pull us into old wound states and they can get stuck in our present body-minds and our electromagnetic field. This is when the balancing force of Taurus comes in.
Taurus Medicine
Scorpio can bring up a lot of pain. Taurus really wants us to feel some peace and pleasure. The steady, slow, earthy, grounding and stable energy of Taurus. Ah even writing that makes me breathe a sigh of relief. I invite you to pause and take one right now for yourself.
We are in Taurus season and this new moon in Taurus is about re-earthing what has been unearthed by cultivating some new solid ground now there is way less scorpionic intensity around. Taurus is an earth sign all about the body, and being able to rest in your body as a sensual sanctuary to experience deep pleasure, safety, comfort and security.
As someone with a propensity towards intensity and an airy scattered mind, Taurus is a trusted anchor to me. All my Taurus friends I utterly adore for their really calm, patient nervous systems and deep capacity for listening and slow conscious relating.
EMBODIED MANIFESTATION (without spiritually bypassing)
Taurus rules the material world, the land we live on as well physical things like money. Taurus is the season for instant manifestation and this is a new moon which is all about calling in what we desire and literally planting a seed into the earth to grow over a 6-12 month cycle. Depending on how big the dream is it can take longer. Taurus is all about committing to the long game.
Desire as a Spiritual Path
The last few years of my life have been in deep reverence to the long term shape I want my life to take. I used to be so hungry for instant gratification, I would swing between high highs and low lows on a regular basis. A very scorpio shadow. I had absolutely no idea how to hold the energy of wanting something in my body without burning out or burning others out trying to get it. It takes so much practice and skill to do this. To be able to contain desire and be deeply fed by the act of ‘wanting’ itself. I haven’t spoken about this much publicly as it has been my private personal practice since early 2019. However in recent months life is calling me to share it more and more.
Intimacy and Desire as a Spiritual Path and Love as Art has been the most life changing thing.
We all have desires whether it be more freedom, to be truly seen and heard, to live your creative calling, to have financial stability. To be able to say I long for a deeply committed relationship whilst being so fulfilled by the feeling of that longing and the journey I’m on before it manifests is truly the most incredible thing I could never dream of mastering a couple of years ago. Desire as an art form.
I am being called to begin to really share these practices with you now.
I want to teach you how to hold the charge of what you want in your body and be so fulfilled by the wanting before you actually have it. To live life in the slow burn lane is truly beautiful when you touch how it feels in your nervous system.
We cannot think our visions into reality. Our body has to be the vessel of reality so the body can HOLD that reality. The Body can RECEIVE that reality.
The Taurus archetype is literally a bull grazing and resting in a field, but not just any field. If there was a film to describe Taurus it would be ‘The Field of Dreams’. Taurus goes for its goals and is one of the most hard-working signs of the zodiac with dedication, patience and perseverance a Taurus always achieves its dreams.
The material life of your dreams can only be created externally if it is a skin you are already living in internally. To live in the field that you dream, you have to BE the dream before you see it manifest. The reality of receiving everything you ever wanted is not something you can just will into being. It’s something you have to first be WILLING TO BE to get the results you want to see. It’s not about going out there to get it. You have to create it inside first. And thunterhis is utterly magnetic.
Taurus does not action things from the mind.
Taurus is ruled by Venus. Venus is all about attraction, but this is nothing to do with the Law of Attraction. It goes way beyond that and I can’t wait to share a practice with you.
Let me help you get out of your head and into your body like beautiful Venus dripping in gold pictured above.
This is about cultivating a deep sense of feeling really good in the journey of getting what you want and it’s giving me chills. It takes daily practice, effort and skill.
Please note this is not a woo woo mainstream manifestation gathering. We honour social inequality and people’s unique lived experiences to ground the work into reality without spiritually bypassing.
We will do an energetic clearing practice that works in two parts to clear the heart and body for a new start, as well as a guided visualisation ritual that is maybe one of the most beautiful images that came to me during a yoga nidra meditation recently. As always, Mirror Medicine which is all about community relating to bring our feelings into the material world instead of being stuck in our heads. We heal and thrive together in conscious relationship.
Come and experience states of pleasure beyond measure.
From an artist in the first year of truly beginning to see the fruits of my hard work grow, I cannot thank you enough for helping me bring the vision into reality.
I cherish you all for being here.
