The New Moon at 1°of Taurus in Kritika Nakshatra finds its strength amplified in the house owned by Venus.
In the darkest phase of this exalted Moon is where we are being asked to review how we have limited our growth with our fear based thoughts, where we’ve contracted in an attempt to stay safe.
Taurus is a sign that truly understand all the comforts that life has to offer, it is the embodiment grounded self worth and resources. The Moon governs the manas, our feeling based sensory system of the mind it is our intuit. Cradling the dark Moon is the brilliant and discriminating Kritika nakshatra, cutting right to the the heart of the matter with quickness and clarity. Ruled by Agni (fire deity) it illuminates what was unseen and creates a path in which we put ourselves first.
This is a not tender Moon it is more of a laser Moon, whose agenda is interested in the shifting our relationship with abundance and prosperity, renewing it with inspiration, focusing on material stability, harmony and the improvement of our surroundings. Igniting new structures that are born out of unsentimental re-arrangement and decisive action, the creation of streamlined systems/patterns in our lives, the editing written material, what we own and in some cases the editing our relationships.
Happily the Moon is free from affliction by malefic planets helping to bring comfort to our mind and to our senses, as we push forward to do the work we need with the willingness to accomplish our projects and goals.
I send you love and luck in the new Moon cycle
