happy new moon in taurus!

as we begin this gorgeous month of may, we begin to see the earth blossom and unfold right before our very eyes... especially, if we are one of those human beings who are lucky enough to have all four seasons. we can feel spring, see spring and certainly smell spring.

as with any new month, we also are blessed with a gorgeous new moon. this month our new moon took place on tuesday, may 3rd at 1:51 a.m. and is in TAURUS. how did you take it in? did you moon salute to that gorgeous beauty in the sky yet? (no? get on it!)

if you are like me, i set an intention every new moon. i also meet with a group of powerful women during the new moon inside my yoga studio, and we share every dream possible by candlelight. we cry, we laugh and we help each other grow. we pick a goddess card for the month, and set our intentions, while washing away what does not serve us.

as the new moon is in taurus, i am focusing on my future. what i am desiring. i am being held back from my self-doubt, so i am washing that away and riding myself of self-sabotage. i want to be free and i want to live my life with passion, doing what i love.

my intentions for the month lay here. (all information comes from jan spiller's book - new moon astrology.
