Let
this Taurus New Moon stimulate your senses and draw
you into the magic of your ordinary world. Do you
feel a quickening in your body? A desire to experience
even more earthly delights? Ritual is a time-honored
way to attract invisible assistance in manifesting
your desires. And it’s a wonderful way to play with
the creative earth energy of Taurus. That’s why every
Spring, on an auspicious Friday, during the Venus-ruled
Taurus season, I perform the Santeria Venus ritual....

Taurus New Moon:
Celebrate the Sensual
by Simone Butler
Marriage
is suddenly in the air. I can barely remember the last
wedding I attended, yet I've recently been invited to
four. Most of these marriages are of friends over 40 who've
been around the block with relationships, and finally
found their life mate. It stirs hope in my still-unwed
soul. These marital announcements foreshadowed the entry

Goddess at this turning point of the wheel.....

Each

Full Moon asks us to halt our hedonistic Spring
revels and take a moment to remember those unhappy
truths we would prefer to ignore, such as suffering,
destruction, and mortality. But this year, I’m
learning something new: namely, the same penetrating
Scorpio insight that needles us with inconvenient
truths can also make us keenly, ecstatically aware
of our blessings....

Message for the Scorpio Full Moon:
The Descent of the
Buddha
by Julia Bondi
So
often it seems that we are stuck, restricted,
unprepared and unable to move forward toward
that greatest desire we cherish somewhere
within us. The shadowy doubts, fears and
recriminations of our unconscious haunt
us as we move through our days. The challenge
of this Scorpio moon is to stop running
from these frightening shadows allowing
them to emerge and have their say. It is
this dialogue with our greatest fears and
doubts that will provide the fuel to energize
a renewed commitment to authentic living,
loving and growing....
