WE'RE EXPERIENCING SHIPPING DELAYS ~ PLEASE ALLOW 4-5 DAYS FOR YOUR ORDER TO PROCESS
May 09, 2018
This is the fourth episode of our MOONSHINE series, where we invite intuitive astrologer Kristina Wingeier to share her wisdom by providing us with a full lunar report (complete with a quick-reference cosmic calendar, breakdown of themes we can expect + luna-inspired rituals). Interested in how this all can be connected to flowers? We get into that too. ; )
The themes for this lunar cycle: grounding, adaptation, big visioning = radical shifts + shake-up of values.
This New Moon in Taurus is ruled by Venus in Gemini. Remember all the inspirations from the previous lunar cycle last month? This new moon is all about grounding into + integrating the insights we've gained through exploration with play, inner child work, depth of values + aligning with the things that light us up!
New Moon in Taurus will have us investigating:
The shadow side of Taurus includes stubbornness, possessiveness, attachment + stagnation + resistance to change ... so watch for these themes to take center stage this week.
Friendly astro-warning: you may feel lots of pressure to change with the all of the planetary shifts this week. Several planets are moving into different signs:
If you are feeling destabilized by all the change, consider taking a pace that is sustainable. Slow down, look to nature for support and connect with your 6 senses. Tend to the body.
First Quarter Moon in Virgo will inspire mind expansion + big-picture visioning. It's a powerful time to start getting good systems in place and create habits + patterns that support your health + wellness.
Jupiter in Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces this week ~ so prep yourself for deep emotions + intuitive abilities, and watch out for amplified delusion + obsession.
Ruled by Jupiter, the Full Fire Moon in Sagittarius will remind us of the importance of adventure + travel, spiritual awakening/mind expansion + Truth with a capital T. This is the time to focus on the big picture of your vision + consider how your actions will have a lasting impact. Sag is an Archer ~ so dream big, take aim + fire.
And with light, there is of course always shadow. During the week, there may be a tendency to take short cuts, make assumptions or communicate bluntly. Slow down + consider the ripple effect of your actions.
Fun luminary fact: The Sun + the Moon are both conjunct a Royal, or fixed, star at this Full Moon.
In astrology, the Royal Stars of Persia are Aldebaran, Regulus, Antares and Fomalhaut. They were regarded as the guardians of the sky in approximately 3000 BCE during the time of the Ancient Persians in the area of modern-day Iran. The Persians believed that the sky was divided into four districts with each district being guarded by one of the four Royal Stars. The stars were believed to hold both good and evil power and the Persians looked upon them for guidance in scientific calculations of the sky, such as the calendar and lunar/solar cycles, and for predictions about the future.
2 of the 4 Royal Stars of Persia involved in this Full Moon:
Sun in Gemini conjunct Aldebaran ~ Eye of the Bull. Principle: Integrity at all times. Honesty without being an asshole, especially with communications.
Moon in Sagittarius conjunct Antares ~ Heart of the Scorpion. Principle: Obsessive passion. Observe emotional turmoil without getting caught up in the narrative or shadow projection.
Last Quarter Moon in Pisces will guide you in dissolving any obstacles that are holding you back. The Sun + Mercury in Gemini want logic and reason in contrast to the Moon + Neptune in Pisces which wants to daydream the day away. Feel your way into the darkness of this last week of the lunar cycle, releasing self-deceptions as you go.
