You did it! You made it through one of the more challenging four to eight weeks we’ve had!
Many of our lives look significantly different than they did a month or two ago. Many of us have been in survival mode, making it up as we go, doing our best to stay empowered, and learning all about personal responsibility and sovereignty.
Now it is time to get back into our bodies, come to our senses, feel our feet on the ground, and do everything we can to stabilize, regulate, and remember what our skills, talents, resources, and values actually are.
However, chances are that it’s not a simple snap of the fingers. There are places where we may be hurting. Sometimes it might feel as if the world is out to get us, but it’s actually our world that is in need of our attention. We may be recovering from survival response, trauma response, defense response, or an aversion to respond. But things on a global level are not easing up in any significant way anytime soon. How do we find peace in this crazy world? How do we find peace in ourselves? How do we heal the rifts in relationship or finance or community or career that we may be feeling? We give thanks for this New Taurus Moon.

Henry David Thoreau gave us the great suggestion to “live at least one day as deliberately as Nature and not be thrown off the rails by every nutshell and mosquito wing which befalls it.”
I am suggesting that we make that our intention for this next month. With all of the artificial intelligence rapidly encroaching on and permeating so many facets of our life, it is important that we use this next month to remember our natural intelligence.
Natural intelligence reminds us that the growth cycle of Nature contains all of the information that we need to survive and thrive happily on this planet. It is very, very simple.
We set an intention. That intention is tested. We infuse that intention with enthusiasm and inspiration. We take action on it. We stabilize it. We ask the right questions and allow it to diversify. We nurture and nourish and cultivate the growth of that intention. We allow it to ripen. We begin to harvest the fruits of our intention. We share the fruits. We allow that which has served its purpose to return to the Earth. And then we do our best to extract what wisdom we can from the experience and allow that to fuel and inspire our next intention.
Each sentence in that progression is an exact reflection of the seasons from Capricorn to Sagittarius. That is one example of human life reflected in the seasonal progression. We plant a seed, encourage its growth, allow it to ripen, and harvest its fruits. The growth cycle of nature is the intelligence behind life. When we allow this process to unfold in our lives, then life becomes easier. It becomes simpler. We slow down. We breathe. We re-stabilize and ground ourselves. We have been developing the courage to reclaim our ability to do all of this.
The intensity does not stop. That does not change. We change. We release our reflexive defensiveness. We wake up in the morning and write down or speak out loud what we are grateful for. We chop wood and carry water and live as deliberately as nature-because we are the creative force in Nature. We have the ability to bring our imagination into form.
With this New Moon, set the intention for returning to your core Nature. Simplify. Focus on that which is most important and most valuable to you. Remember that every moment is sacred and worthy of your complete attention. Stretch and exercise your body. Feed it well. Your imagination is spirit. Your body is the Earth. Cultivate your blossoming in both realms, and all will be well.
