On May 5th, we'll bask in the deep waters of the lunar eclipse in Scorpio.
This lunation is a mirror, reflecting back to us our own relationship with liminal space — the unknown and the unknowable, stillness and rest, curiosity and doubt. Be gentle with yourself as you gaze into this void, but challenge yourself to show up in authenticity. How do you treat yourself when you don't know the answer? What power do you have access to, aside
from intellectual knowing? This Scorpio full moon, we're being asked to sit with our the fullness of our shadow; cultivate the support you need to show up to this meeting with care and vulnerability.
Scorpio is less interested in forward motion than they are in inward momentum. This full moon, allow yourself to be present with the memory beneath the memory. What has happened to your heart this eclipse season? In the simplest of terms, what has occurred? Reach into the radiant depth of your emotional landscape for answers, but don't be surprised if you come away with more questions than clarity. This is a moon for feeling, not
knowing.
This lunar eclipse shifts the tide, calling you away from familiar shores and back into your innate mysteries. Let your body drift unanchored, babe. This full moon is an especially potent time for ritual baths and
showers: indulge in the purifying magic of epsom salts, black stones, incense smoke, and candle light.
The new moon in Taurus arrives on May 19th, Venus day, here to beckon us back towards solid ground. Now is the time to root down into magical sanctuary, set your juiciest tools out to charge on your altar, and reflect on the foundation your pleasure practice is built on. Taurus, like Libra, is ruled by Venus—tender Taurus feels most at home surrounded by beauty, care, and all things soft and supple. But where
Libra tends to float in dreamland, Taurus digs deep into the material realm. This is a sign fueled by sensual routines, sumptuous structure, and a deep need for ritual. Are you ready to introduce your desire to material action this lunation?
Whatever you do this Taurus new moon, do it with pleasure in mind. Surround yourself with potent magical allies at every turn, and make the mundane magical. Taurus is infinitely practical, but they know how when prioritize luxury. Now is a time to reach for material delight without hesitation. Spend an extra five minutes after your morning shower rubbing body oil into the soles of your feet, drape yourself in silk or velvet, put three spoonfuls of honey in
your tea, kiss a flower, and recite a love poem to yourself in the mirror. Romancing your senses is a tender act of self-care.
Whatever is calling out to be cultivated this new moon, allow Taurus
to spur you towards heart-centered action. Trust that you have safety nets in place, and allow your desires to leap into the next phase, babe! Sow that seed, then have faith in it—allow your hopes to grow their own roots. These dreams will blossom on their own time.
