This month's New Moon in Taurus is a solid grounding and starting point in the year, especially in contrast to the instability of past weeks (with the eclipse season/retrograde overlaps). Hopefully, you have come out with some vital revisions and reconceptions, fresh ways of approaching plans, projects, and objectives.
With the fixed nature of Taurus and its ruler, Venus, still slowly moving through the Saturn-Neptune alignment, this New Moon does not bring about a strong sense of certainly in relation to tackling our goals or desires. There is likely some heavy ambivalence or even a strong sense of restrictiveness around what's possible.
This New Moon will likely feel like a sobering assessment of the current circumstances and issues we're faced with. It can prompt us to continue with the trend of reflection and reassessment. There is also a highly practical side of this lunation that can be useful for tightening up a financial situation or more carefully strategizing a project or health goal.
There is a deeper glimpse in the broader Saturn-Neptune era coming more intensely into collective focus that may involve a harsh look at our ideals, dreams, and spiritual beliefs. Yet also, there is a level of awakening to something vaster and more true, but we can also feel that on a soul level as a mix of excitement along with fear or even grief.
The paradox of Saturn-Neptune can require reconciling our resentment of certain limitations in the world alongside an appreciation for how they contain truths and realities that may be too much to process or manage. Certain boundaries need to dissolve now, but also, we may realize how vital and important others are.
Pluto and Mars' opposition also forms a t-square to this New Moon, so there is a level of conflict and tension here, but ultimately, it gives us a green light for action, especially with anything we've had to backtrack with earlier this year. Amid some of the constrictive side of this lunation, keep your eye out for more open space and resolution regarding how to move ahead with specific goals. This is fertile ground, and we can mindfully and carefully seed new potentials. We might overlook that if we're too focused on the limitations and restrictions we may be more aware of.
