The New Moon in Taurus
The New Moon occurs when the Moon and the Sun are exactly aligned in the same Constellation. When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun, we cannot see the lighted half at all, and the undetectable Moon is declared a'New Moon'. This is also referred to as 'the Dark of the Moon' because there is no Moon visible in the night sky.
Nevertheless, during the New Moon phase, the Moon's gravitational pull on the Earth is at its strongest. In accordance our receptivity is more sensitised, therefore unconscious instinctual behavioural patterns often manifest more obviously during this time, The New Moon ushers in NEW themes and cycles of activity that come to fruition at the Full Moon (about 14 days later).
If this is new to you, let me try to explain it as if I was speaking to you. Hypothetically, imagine your day is divided into 4 quarters. The first quarter of our day we'll call the morning. We are gearing up and getting ready for the day.
The second quarter is the afternoon. We are really in the swing of things, momentum is happening.
The third part of our day is the evening. We are winding down, maybe feeling tired and wrapping up the end of the day, perhaps even preparing for the following day. The fourth and last quarter is characterized hopefully by sleep, rest and rejuvenation.
Now if we apply the same analogy to the moon: The New Moon signifies new beginnings, planting the proverbial seeds, a freshness, a whole new cycle. The first 7 days of the New Moon embody this fresh new start energy much like morning energy.
The second 7 days of the New Moon leading up the Full Moon are akin to the afternoon. The seeds planted are sprouting. Any tasks you have started are in full swing, there is a lot of momentum and forward motion.
From the Full Moon to next 7 days is the Third Quarter. This energy feels like evening energy. It's a slowing down of momentum, a kind of releasing energy. You might actually feel yourself crying for no reason at all. (It's releasing of collective unconsiousness, I will talk about that another time).
Finally the next 7 days are the remaining days of detoxing and renewal just like sleep. Until the next New Moon comes and it's time to cycle through again.

"This New Moon in the sign of Taurus NATURALLY rules the 2nd house of self-worth and we gain our self-worth through our morals and our values. For instance an individual with high self-worth would certainly not be coupling up with someone that made them feel bad about themselves, nor would they be eating and drinking themselves into diabetes or liver disease. They just would not do it. In fact, they would be living their Life with higher standards. It is our morals and values that dictate how we spend money, who we associate with and what physical possessions we cling that give us our sense of self-worth or identity. This is why it is important to know how you spend your money because how you spend money reveals what you think about yourself. Check you receipts and you will see what your self-worth is. For instance, those who are constantly spending money (knowing they do not have it to spare) will invariably run out of money thereby keeping themselves in a state of lack, which is evidence of low self-worth. That behavior turns into a vicious cycle of chasing a buck instead of having a buck.
The most important thing for you to remember during this New Moon in Taurus is SELF-WORTH because this New Moon in Taurus wants to increase your self-worth! All too often individuals will look at the 2nd house (that Taurus naturally rules) and see that as the house of personal money. Well it is, but most importantly, it is self-worth because it is what you feel you are worth that dictates what kind of pay you will receive. Folks, this Taurus Moon DOES NOT SETTLE for less! It just isn't. Taurus is not a settler (like in the Geico commercials). You see, Taurus' really get a bad rap for being stubborn and they really aren't stubborn as much as they know what they want and what they don't want. Period, end of story! You can't talk Taurus energy into what it doesn't want. Forget about it!"
