during this new moon in taurus, we are being called to align with our core values (what we need versus what we want), look at where stability lies internally (how we ground ourselves, mental & emotional programming) vs externally (spending habits, attachment to wealth, relationships/partnerships), discover ways we can feel more secure, solid, safe with every aspect of our life (especially finances and connections), conserving our energy (choosing what does or doesnt deserve your time and energy, making peace with your triggers through healing and mindfulness), moving from a place of stagnation and comfortability (choosing to evolve and expand, surrendering the urge to procrastinate).

taurus new moon message
as i mentioned in the full moon in libra post, "the time now is timeless. you’re floating into uncertainty. there’s no return; no going “back to normal”. you are moving from the known to the unknown and to actually do that, you are required to leave the past behind you - cut out the unnecessary."
the eternal child and flame card come to us as reassurance that the way to move through this time of shift is to revert back to when we felt the most optimistic, faithful, pure and magical; when time was timeless and abundance was within our reach at all times. what keeps us connected to this energy is our inner child.
now this message is not intended to be spoken from a place of love and light, fantasy, or a form of escape from our current reality, but it is a reminder for us to seek the joy, creativity, and wealth that can still be found outside of materialistic possession and values. we are able to create from what we have and make do.
the wheel of fortune card also speaks a very prominent message during this time to remind us that life is constantly moving, shifting, and changing and sometimes we're not able to control or prevent situations from happening to us, but we are able to control how we deal with it. the same abundance that i mentioned can be found within our reach are the same opportunities or solutions that never crossed our mind can become available to us if we think beyond our programming and expectations.
other messages:
spirit wants me to emphasize that we are being encourage to be authentic with our emotional expression. do not deny your true feelings, do not pretend like everything is ok when it's not, do not ignore the warnings/red flags/or the cold hard facts, do not stay stuck and be afraid of the outcome of your decisions.
spirit reveals that some of us will experience sudden changes and disruption of plans, events and situations coming to you as a surprise, routines being shaken up, chaos, eruption of anger, experiencing what feels like your world crashing, sudden realization, exposure of underlying truths and hidden truths, letting things go, and seeing through illusions.
