Lunar Digest: New Moon in Taurus

Working with my menstrual cycle, the Wheel of the Year, and the lunar cycle have served me so well over the last 7-8 eight years. The Moon in particular supports me throughout the month in re-committing to my intentions, taking inspired action and shedding whatever doesn't support the woman I am becoming. I do my own Full and New Moon rituals, and lead The Sisterhood Of The Moon New Moon Circles online in groups and have helped numerous women to maximise their manifestation potential by allowing 'Lady Luna' to inspire their day-to-day lives. The Lunar Digest is a bi-monthly blog post sharing the main themes of the upcoming lunation, my own take on what The Moon has in store, a practice to engage with, an affirmation for The Moon, and a journaling prompt. I hope you enjoy!

The New Moon in Taurus - 7/5/2024

Main themes: 

• Vibrance

• Good fortune

• Inspiration

• Personal luxury

My take: 

New Moons are always the dreamiest time to manifest... But when the New Moon is in Taurus, that is upgraded exponentially. Why? Because Taurus is ruled by the planet of love, creation and abundance, Venus!

That being the case, this Moon provides us with an opportunity which we really can't miss. This is a time to work on our sense of deserving, and very deliberately declare the comfort, luxury and abundance that we are calling in.

Now, this can be tricky, especially if we have soul-limiting beliefs around the themes of comfort, luxury and abundance. We might think, "Why would I be energetically blocking that? Why would I have contracted myself to never have those things? Why wouldn't I get out of my own way and let myself receive?" And those questions are super valid, because if we're all being honest, of COURSE we want riches in our lives (keeping in mind, that 'riches' means something different to everyone). So why on Earth would we be condemning ourselves to the opposite?

Well, our childhoods have a lot to answer for, especially if we were told cliches such as, "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit," "there's only so much money to go around," "we may not be rich but at least we are good people", "more money, more problems", "money doesn't grow on trees", "people like us don't have a lot of money" etc. These cliches can become self-fulfilling prophecies, and although they were often delivered by our families who may have had the best of intentions, often the way that all pans out is that it becomes a negative thought pattern, a way of life, which we struggle to break free of. And that's without even going into past-life or ancestral patterns which may be the same.

So this is a great month to work on breaking free of the shackles which bind us to those sorts of beliefs. Again, astrology is supporting us with this, not just because of the New Moon itself, but also because Uranus and Jupiter are activated this month too: the planet of quick change and the planet of luck! When we talk about quantum leaps, THIS MOON is what we're talking about!

So focus on gratitude, intention-setting, clearing soul-limiting beliefs around what you deserve, declaring your desires to the Universe and committing to taking inspired action. I can't wait to see what happens for us all over the next 72 hours.

Affirmations:

"I trust that the Universe is always conspiring in my favour. Magic courses through my very veins, I am here to share it with the world. I deserve to receive a taste of my own generosity... I treat myself like a Queen on the daily."

Journaling prompt:

If your day tomorrow could include  more of your home comforts, personal luxuries and preferred iIf your day tomorrow could include  more of your home comforts, personal luxuries and preferred indulgences, what would that look like?

Practice: 

Again, commit yourself to two practices this month: The first is to make one tweak per day this week, to move closer towards a more comfortable, indulgent and luxury way of living! eg. frothing the milk for your coffee, putting oils in your bath, wearing your ‘best’ jewellery. The second is to engage in a morning meditation practice specifically focused to manifestation... Chapter 3 of The Morning Meditation Challenge book (which I just published last month!) will be perfect for this. Then, head to The Soul-Led Sisterhood Experience: Lifestyle Upgrades for Fierce Females free facebook group so we can celebrate your commitments and hold you accountable.

I'm in such a creative process at the moment... I've been working on content for social media (specifically around the upcoming Spring Clean Your Soul Immersion), sales brochures (working on pitching my book to independent book stores, and putting out a new corporate offering) and creating opportunities for my son.

Walter is home educated/alternative schooled/world-schooled but the system isn't set up for that, so it takes a lot of intentional planning and effort to ensure that he gets the most out of the experience. I absolutely love that side of things, and am a passionate educator myself, so we've been having a lot of fun with it. However, it is also a TRIP to say the least! At the moment, his education consists of a combination of things: forest school, drama and dance classes, computer skills, art sessions, science experiments, music education, Lego/building skills and sports clubs, plus the usual numeracy, literacy/phonics/writing, and history learning. As you can imagine, it is a lot for me especially as a huge chunk of it is a completely new routine as of this month (some of which involves me driving a two-hour round-trip twice a week with him!) I'm 100% confident that I'm doing the right thing for us, and that is reflected in his growing confidence, talent, information retention, big smiles and peaceful sleeps. It's just, a lot :)

That being said, this month, I'm excited to be diving back into my manifestation practices: being creative is who I am these days, so its time to apply it to myself and my business specifically!

With grace and grit,

Gabriella
