Taurus New Moon Solar Eclipse Tuesday April 29, 2014 1:15 AM CDT

Our New Moon in Taurus heralds a fresh start with a banging Solar Eclipse Tuesday April 29, 2014 after Midnight at 1:15 am CDT. A Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and when the Moon partially or fully blocks the Sun, better known as "oculting" the Sun. This is a very deeply magical time for all of us who are into mysticism, honoring our ancestors, and the occult. With the Moon passing between the Sun and Earth it is like the Moon removing the blinders and restrictions society has placed upon us and illuminated our souls to remember what was originally encoded upon our star creation. It is a message from our Mother Moon to honor our powers, gifts and to utilize these tools while on our everyday paths. This beautiful New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs after a powerful Blood Moon, the first of 4 Lunar Eclipses that has not occured in over 500 years! This New Moon ushers the way for newness after the Blood Moon shook up and released those things that served us no purpose. Another important factor for this sacred event is the Big Grand Crossing. We've been in the energy of the Grand Cross all this year yet it peaks on the 23rd of April. It is the fusion of all elements and the zodiacal leader of the elements Aries/fire, Cancer/water, Libra/air, Capricorn/earth. The four major planets involved are the heavy hitters in our lives that bring out the warrior in us, and forces us to change into our dreams faster than what we could impose, Uranus the awakener, Pluto the transformation, Mars our power, and Jupiter our optimism. All of these forces are surrounding us, we are literally in the middle, this is why you may feel stuck because we are forced to harmonize with all of these different elements that seem so different yet fits together perfectly. It is the best time to really co~exist as we would say with nature, not just paying attention to water and earth but to all of the elements for complete balance. I would say customize some basic re~birthing rituals for yourself. You are half way through the Sun calendar year and have accomplished so much but have alot more to go, not to mention blockages to knoock down and step over. Each of the rituals you put together during this time should include all four of the elements and all four of the energies of the above mentioned planets, if you have 1 ritual focusing on Pluto and deep emotional healing it would leave out all other necessary energies and still not properly heal you in this moment. This is a challenge that will pull out and activate all of your necessary gifts and powers that you may not have known was present before. This is going to be awesomely fun! So more good news! The New Moon falls in Taurus, an Earth loving, romantic and financially abundant sign. Taurus is all about stability through money, real loyal passionate love, and being in harmony with the entire Earth. The Moon and Sun are in 8' Taurus in the 3rd house. The 3rd house represents communication verbally and written within the spiritual, cosmic and physical realms. It also denotes short journeys, how we think, learn, study, teach, and analyze things. With the Moon in Taurus it brings about deep and fufilling love and feelings of marriage. I can say I am very much an independent Goddess and for the past week I've finally been leaning more towards accepting marriage! Oh my this has to be a powerful New Moon to get me to change my views on marriage! There are more feelings of good heartedness and the want, need and desire to be around friends and family more. So spare of the moment lunch dates, social gatherings, and dinner parties are great during this phase. This position with the Moon and Taurus favors all occupations dealing with the land, Earth and her products. This could mean if you are a first time gardener, you may notice you're falling in love with the Earth and all that she produces. If you are an experienced gardener you may find new ways of working with the Earth becoming more sustainable, while utilizing recycling to show love, appreciation and respect to the Earth. If your natal chart is in harmony with this transition you may find financial assistance, gain or a buisness opportunity through the opposite sex. If you have been working on your hygeine and beauty since the Virgo full Moon this position supports a healthy and beautiful life. A makeover, buying yourself new clothes, or re-decorating your home/work envioronment are all ideal during this time. Places near water have an extra abundant energy during this phase and yields more success for those who have connections to large bodies of water. With the Sun nice and snug in Taurus we feel more determined, persistent and self-reliant. We appreciate the stability we have created in our lives and become more careful and cautious of choices we making sure not to jeopardize what we have accomplished thus far with our finances, love and home base. If you are usually an anxious head strong person, you may notice yourself being more patient in waiting for your goals or endeavors to mature and come to fruitation. Taurus energy does not like pain or dissapointment and will wait a long time for plans to manifest properly. I am also feeling this energy. I usually utilize my quick powers of magic to manifest what I want as soon as I want it. Because this Taurus energy is so strong I've decided not to hurry into my magic bag for the current success of my goal in fear that if I rush, it will be a regreted mistake. Instead I am taking my time to allow things to manifest divinely as it should, how's that for some Taurus patience?! You will notice this will be a very secret and reserved period, very gentle. However if you are rubbed the wrong way you may notice a different type of anger, very strong, powerful and unyielding. So be mindful of what you say and do and how you react to what others may say or do to you. This is an excellent time for psychics, mediums and healers. With the focus on connecting to the land and love, all of the powers of the Earth and our ancestral spirits are released to the mature and ready. It is a sacred time of magical nature and spiritual endeavors. You may find yourself more endowed in the music, the arts, and nature more so than normal. Enjoy it! This phase will yield more power than you have seen this year if you pay extra close attention to your health. If you are keen to having a moderate eating habit, meditation/silent/prayer time and some form of exercise (tai chi, qi gong, walking, yoga etc.) you will notice a heightened state of awareness like you are high on the powers of the heavens. You may feel yourself paying more attention to how your body feels after eating certain things followed by an very unsilent conscious message, warning you before you take another bite if it's somethinf un-healthy for you. Listen to the signs of your body if your spiritual life and connection to the heavens is of any importance to you. The more restrictions your body has due to any health issues the more difficult it may be for you to tap into the power the Moon is releasing. There is a really awesome New Moon Diet to help your body tune into the watery flow our closest celestial body will transmit to us. If you find it to hard to alter your health habits at this time, try just for 24 hours or 3 days to cleanse and renew yourself. Enjoy this New Moon, there will never be another one just like it!
