Taurus New Moon:
Mud Magic
By Simone Butler
If you had one goal, and that was to feel good, you would live successfully and happily, fulfilling your life's purpose ever after."
---Abraham/Hicks
Up to my elbows in mud one fine New Mexico day, I had an epiphany. A feeling of bliss shot through my body as heaven and earth joined in me. Helping to build an adobe wall, I had somehow tapped into the higher realms.
Do you remember blissfully playing in the mud as a child? Well, it turns out it was actually good for you! Dirt is a natural antidepressant. New research shows that friendly bacteria in the soil actually boost serotonin levels that make us happy. Yet in this culture we avoid getting dirty like the plague. Could there be a correlation between our germ-phobic, sanitized ways and our neglect of the Earth Mother herself?
Now that the Sun is in the sensual earth sign of Taurus, it's time to honor nature and the body. In Taurus we let our senses reign and engage the physical pleasures through taste, smell and touch. This Venus-ruled sign urges us to slow down and commune with the beauty around us.
The New Moon on May 16 makes a square to nebulous Neptune. That magical planet is potent all month as it slows down to turn retrograde on the 24th. Spirit is working in mysterious ways. It can bring you what your heart desires, if you don't succumb to fear and despair. Yes, scary things are happening on the planet as the evolution of consciousness picks up its pace. The high frequencies of change may cause some of us to act in crazy ways. But it's also a time of liberation in which the Earth Mother is shaking off her shackles. Mighty Jupiter just squared chaotic Uranus in visionary Pisces on the 10th, making breakthroughs likely. Decide what most needs to change in your life or the world at large. Then, be ready at the New Moon to take a step in that direction.
The New Moon in Taurus is the "creator moon" because creation springs from pleasure: the pleasure of imagining and attracting what we want. To create something, you must feel yourself inside it, experiencing it fully. Imagine the feeling of your true love's kiss on your neck as you awaken, and inevitably that person will appear in the flesh. Or, follow my lead and imagine awakening together inside the elegant, earthen eco-home that you built together to honor your love and the Earth.
At this New Moon, remember you are a co-creator with Spirit and harness Neptune's imaginative, intuitive powers to dream up something divine. Create something just for the fun of it, without any agendas. Try Abraham's lighthearted technique in Ask and it is Given: "Wouldn't it be nice if.I finished my work in time to go for a hike?" Or, "Wouldn't it be nice if.my mate and I got along really well today?" Or even, "Wouldn't it be nice if. I won the lottery?"
Neptune is a watery energy; mixed with earthy Taurus, it produces mud. Why not celebrate with a mud bath at a local hot springs? Creation can be nearly effortless now. Make art, plant a garden, launch a money-making project, build an earthen home, visualize world peace. Dream it! Feel it! It can be yours.
