May 19th, 2023: Taurus New Moon
Hello, beautiful soul!
As you know, I’m a lover of Astrology. I love how Astrology offers me a language to read a story in the stars.
It’s amazing how new energy seems to be born in every new moon. Then it grows, reaches a climax and withdraws, reaching the end. And then we come to another story, and each one is like a chapter of a greater story: the story of our souls.
On May 19th, 2023, we begin a new chapter. This is the Taurus New Moon, a time to nurture your soul.

The new moon taking place in the last degrees of Taurus is symbolic of the mastery of our sense of self worth and value. It is also helping us uncover our personal abundance in this life.
We can actively work with this energy by setting an intention for ourselves to increase our personal strength and resources. The house of your chart that has Taurus in its beginning is the area of your life’s experiences which can benefit from this energy. This is where you should concentrate now.
You may realize what you need to grow, what you need to become stronger and more abundant. And the universe is totally helping us now with planets mostly in Earth and Water signs, which is symbolic of a pretty nurturing and fertilizing energy. It favors whatever it is that we are trying to increase in our lives.

This new moon also favors the transformation of the scarcity mindset, greed and excessive materialism. This is helping us become aware of the real wealth, the resources around us and how we can benefit from it.
The Earth is abundant and plentiful of resources that sustain life on the planet. Still, humanity has created scarcity. Because of greed and excessive materialism, we have created a scarcity mindset and an insatiable hunger for money and stuff that we don’t really need,
or don’t really do us any good.
Ultimately, real wealth is not about money although money can buy many things. It is about resourcefulness. This means having what you need to nurture your soul, to be abundant in what nurtures you, what makes you stronger, so you can go through the hard times with more ease.
Your soul needs resourcefulness. To be resourceful is to have what it is needed for your soul to grow, for your life to be abundant. And there are always resources available to us, even if we can’t see it.
This isn’t just a matter of money but plentifulness. This is about attracting to you what you really need at a certain time. It is about a strong power of attraction which we all have and it is symbolized by Venus in your astrological chart. It can bring to you exactly what you need and want, what is nurturing to your soul, if you really feel deserving of it.
Now, if you don’t feel deserving of what you need and want, then you’re never going to get it. So, this is a time to work on your sense of personal value and self-worth.
You’ve got to acknowledge your qualities, your gifts and creative potential, so you can love yourself for who you are! Also, you’ve got to acknowledge your ugly parts so you can begin to transform them. And this is what the last lunar cycle was all about, culminating with the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse and its unfoldings.

This lunar cycle is ruled by Venus, the astrological symbol for the power of attraction. In this cycle, we can activate it by getting in touch with our emotional needs.
This is about finding out what you really need to feel supported and loved. And by choosing and nurturing this emotional fulfillment that you deeply need, that’s how you can start to manifest the abundance of your soul now.

During this cycle, there will be an opportunity for you to strongly align with your emotional needs. You may come to realize how important it is to have a comfortable nest for your soul, so you can feel protected, supported and loved.
It is so important that we come to terms now with possible emotional battles or childish fears that we may have, even if just for a while. We should try to feel more at
ease with ourselves, more connected to our inner self now.

Along with the emotional mood, we may also feel an inspiring energy in the air during this phase.
There will be an opportunity for you to be imaginative and idealistic, and this may help you visualize the greatest possibilities you actually have in this life, and how you can achieve them.
Some of your dreams can come true under this inspiring energy. So, pay attention to the signs and opportunities coming your way!

There will be a message you receive, or maybe you’re the one to get in contact with someone that will open some doors for you. It could also be that you finally articulate something that takes you to the next level.
This is life-changing!
One word, one thought or maybe one signature will change everything now.
This is something that can ultimately make you more mature, more reliable and responsible in your life. It can help you build your soul purpose.
That’s how big this energy is! So, don’t miss it! This means: do not let your fears stop you and do not let the challenges stop you either. Just keep going, patiently and persistently, and you will get there.

This is also a time to master your desires. You may realize now that some of your drives have been just nonsense, and you may have been unconscious of your true will. Maybe you have been taking actions in an unconscious, merely emotional, manner, without a definite purpose for what you’re doing.
Well, this is a time to change that. We must take the right actions, and this means purposeful actions, authentic actions which are aligned with our essential beings. If you don’t align your actions with your true will, with who you really are, then you will be manipulated by others now.

This is a time for a life-changing decision. It is a threshold where we must stop and reflect on which path we want to take. Are you keeping your will power to yourself or are you giving it away to others? Are you choosing what you want or are you letting others decide it for you? Are you giving away your personal resourcefulness?
This is a test to your will, a test of your personal power and strength.
Are you ready to embrace the soul warrior in you? Are you ready to empower yourself?

Of course, to choose one path or another, we have to be brutally honest with ourselves, and be willing to accept the consequences and challenges of each path.
The universe is so intelligent that it also
provides us with what we need to make
the right decisions: the expansion of our minds!
It may feel like it is too much, really. But I’m sure you will have at least a glimpse of the right path for you, for me, for us all beautiful souls now, which actually is: choose your will power, your own choices! And it also means: be ready to rely upon yourself and not others. Rely upon your personal resourcefulness and strengths and not other people’s.
