"Of all signs of the Zodiac, Taurus is the sign that represents Mother Earth... Taurus is wild nature, our wild nature, which is more aligned with the Earth than with the Heavens.

"This lunar month is about embodiment, sensuality and manifestation. It's about being here on earth in a body - enjoying it AND at the same time staying aligned with the path of integrity, spiritual mastery, mastery.

"We are being given the opportunity to truly understand that this is all the Divine Play of life and that we can not integrate it all until we have experienced and embodied it all - light and shadow.

"The good news is that the downs, outs, bad and shadow are definitely less present this month than in the last two - almost like the Universe giving us a little reprieve and reward for all the hard work done in recent months."

Hear this Cathy? This is for you, sister dear! Enjoy!

"It's a time to ground down, take care of ourselves physically, enjoy life, relax and retreat a little, and give thanks for being given the opportunity to be here now at this pivotal time on planet earth.

"Taurus embodies peace - finding your inner contentment and satisfaction. All of nature is Taurus' ally; Taurus is the fixed, power sign for the element earth - feminine and yin in quality, so naturally she partakes of the big power of nature to balance her energy.

"This is the third Super Moon in a row. This Moon will tug on you. It may affect your consciousness. It could intensify your feelings... Bringing to light your true feelings.

"There are times to take action. There are times to wait and listen. Trust your intuition. Trust your instincts. This is not the time to push. Flow with the energy and see where it takes you.

"The Taurus New Moon reveals your talents and gifts... Your gifts can create great abundance for you. They reveal your past life attainment that you have brought forth into this life... Love you. You are precious. There is only one of you. Never forget that truth."

And I wanted to know, what is a Super Moon exactly? So here it is: "A super moon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disc as seen from the Earth. The technical name is THE PERIGEE-SYZYGY OF THE EARTH-MOON-SUN SYSTEM."

YES! That's what it's called. Lovely, isn't it?

"A full moon at perigee is visually larger up to 14% in diameter or about 30% in area and shines 30% more light than one on its farthest point, or apogee."

Having said all this, I wish all of you a very happy perigee-syzygy Taurus New Moon in the merry month of May.

Blessings,
