New Moon at 7* Taurus
The Queen Builder
Today’s new Moon is ripe with possibility and grace, the most potent new Moon of the year. It’s also a new Moon that asks a lot from us to access these higher trajectories.
It’s a crossroad of timelines. Will you go up or will you go down?
This is written in the chart by the Grand T-square formed with Mars and Pluto as the arms, and the new Moon/Sun at the apex, the point of the arrow that charts the direction.
Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius were exactly conjunct for the third and final time yesterday. This brings completion energy to the story in play since last November. Mars is pulling away from Pluto a new being, having his ego put in check by the Lord of the Underworld. The base impulses that are self-aggrandizing within each of us have been pushed and prodded to uncomfortable depths.
Our motives of Will are tender, maybe even pulverized, as we stand at this new Moon. We’ve been shown that nothing built before now that is not on higher ground can remain standing. This is humbling.
And, being filled with humility is the best place start anew.
With all planets out of their retrograde cycles now, we can feel the emergence of something wanting to be formed, something solid, something lasting, something Divine.
This is where Taurus energy shines. She is fixed Earth energy, therefore the stable feminine. Taurus is the Queen builder. Ruled by Venus, she talks to us about a better feminine way, one that’s lead by the heart and all things Love.
Where base Mars wants to war, higher Venus says collaborate and create beauty.
A Venus-filled Moon cycle in Taurus is a chance to find your footing on a new path, one that takes you to wondrous places…
To do this will require masculine Mars be put into the service of the feminine Moon. Mars in Leo (fixed fire) can keep the fires of devotion burning, but only for a good cause, one that’s True.
The work is within each of us to surrender to the higher heart, to put our actions toward the new sparks coming in that seem too good to be real but are, in fact, where our beautiful Earth now resides and is calling us forward.
This work requires we devote ourselves to the Queen of our hearts, the things and people that bring excitement, hope and joy. Every moment we turn our eyes away from what’s dying toward the new life that wants to be built here is a small victory.
This is Taurus’ strength; step-by-step, unwavering focus until the end goal is achieved. This is not hard work, it’s steady work filled with promise.

The flowers blooming now remind us what happens when we follow the formula of the Divine.
They bloom after a fallow winter, after plants were laid to rest in autumn. They bloom once the Sun returns for longer periods of daylight and nourishing water feeds their roots. They show us what all the waiting was for and that the end result can be glorious if we just stay the course.
Let yourself line up with the Divine energies of renewal in play now.
Take all you’ve learned about yourself during the retrogrades, all the space created from what you’ve released with the eclipses, all the tender parts and begin again on a new path,
one filled with excitement,
and hope.
***
Follow the small sparks surrounding you (they’re everywhere) and if you don’t see them yet, get still and tune into your intuition.
We are the Queen builders (all genders) here in the garden of Earth. We let our Mind and our Will bow to our Heart.
New paradigms are being built as you read this, inspired by each of us making new choices and sticking with them until something beautiful emerges.
Take heart, dear Souls, and get to work!
With great excitement,
Kimberly
