The New Moon @ 7 degrees Taurus
-April 27th, 2025-
The energies and nature of the the FIXED SIGNS -Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius - are highlighted through tension under this new moon.
The fixed signs are energies that have to do with power (from my teacher, Judith Hill). Taurus accumulates resources of power. Leo is the expression of creative power. Scorpio is the manipulation of power. Aquarius is the power of creative thought - it is power to the people.
And so these powerful signs rule parts of the body where massive amounts of energy accumulate and that we associate as the "chakras" or homes of our significant energy centers:
The Throat- Taurus
The Heart - Leo
The Pelvis & organs of sex and elimination: Scorpio
The Mind/Mental Body/Creative Thought - Aquarius
The energy of these signs is holding, stabilizing, penetrating, intensifying on the one end, and so on the other, can tend toward stagnancy, toxin build up or inner tension that builds until it is given an outlet to break/blow/transform or evolve.
Under this new moon and the tension present in the cosmos, there is an invitation to break habits (even if it is the habit of not getting or asking for help) and break free. There is an invitation to feel into these primary energetic centers and consider what is balanced/unbalanced - where do you feel under tension, on edge or feel there is a surplus of energy building that is not being used for your highest creativity and expression?
There is a LOT of strength available for us here. Tension and irritation or other emotional imbalance is a signal that fasting is needed. This is an excellent day/weekend for a fast. A fast from anything that might be causing tension or toxic build up should be eliminated with discipline.
Perhaps that is very literal and physical, for example: engating in a food fast. It may feel more energetic/mental and in that case - a social media fast orfasting from certain energies/people/situations may be more useful.
On the other end, if feeling strong, dynamic and intense - creative outlets, demonstrations and celebrations of your strength through movement or activity or competition are supported for this weekend.
The Full Moon @ 22 degrees SCORPIO
May 12th, 2025
Health wise, when the Scorpio (pelvis/organs of elimination and sex) and Taurus (throat) polarity axis are highlighted (polarities are signs that sit opposite of each other are represent a process in the human body that is interconnected)- it can be a great time good sex, pelvic massage or a coffee enema/colon cleanse. How we express and our willingness to share our most benevolent energies and self can shift us up or down on our spiritual journey. Very creative, very powerful. Do Release. Do enjoy.
If something health wise feels very activated or imbalanced for you around this time - a thyroid, colon, mouth/tooth (assess for infection) and/or pelvic health check would be wise.
TAURUS SEASON HEALTH ENERGETICS
- a deeper dive - *or skip to health recs below :)
Taurus is an Earth element sign and considered "fixed" energy - which is energy that is stable, drawing and concentrating in nature. When a sign is "fixed" that means it is a period of time that occurs in the middle of one the 4 big earth seasons (in this case Spring). The energy is neither starting (cardinal energy) nor transitioning (mutable energy) into something else. It is certainly mid-spring and that is undeniable - such is the power of the fixed signs.
In Aries, the Life Force "springs" up and outward after winter - the first seedlings begin to pop their heads up through the cold winter ground and reach for the Sun. This is (one of the reasons) why Aries is associated with the head in humans. In Taurus, the energy and Life Force shifts from outward moving Fire element to feminine Earth element which makes the energy magnetic and drawing. This pulls the energy down from the top of the head into the realm of Taurus: the mouth and throat.
As this sign rules the beautiful mid-spring months, the mouth and throat in humans and is also ruled by the planet Venus- we can see why this sign is associated with the sensual beauty of the material world, pleasure, good food, the gathering and accumulation of resources of power (food, money, the value and quality of what we ingest and use to build our body, homes, material lives, lineage, legacy)
General body rulerships & emphasis during this season:
>Lower head and mouth - especially associated with the lower 1/2 of the teeth and jaw
>Neck, throat and cervical spine & blood flow within that area
>Large influence over the thyroid gland
>Co-influence of the ears, hearing and tongue.
*Natural health practices for your physical, energetic and spiritual evolution in Taurus Season :
Part of properly preparing for the things we have asked and/or prayed for is the process of releasing the things, habits, behaviors and ways of thinking/being/doing that DO NOT align with the person we want to be when we meet our dream and wish. Who do we wish and envision ourselves to be when we meet the lover, job, opportunity, mountain, life or whatever it is that we are hoping to build? And will we have prepared or been readying ourselves to take on the responsibility, attention, devotion and level of integrity that this precious thing we've prayed for will undoubtedly ask of us? This inquiry can help guide us to see ourselves more clearly and the parts of our lives we actually do want to evolve and work on next. This should be exciting to get clarity on! Of course, this inquiry is not about perfection - this is about growth, grit, development and the evolution of our spirit!
If you want to gain, build and grow something beautiful (Taurus), you must be willing to recognize, release, let go, transform, detox and eliminate (Scorpio) the parts of yourself that have become toxic or are the weakest links.
This zodiac season, Nature guides us to consider the nature of how we use our own "fixed" energy, or in other words - what is the current status of our own habits and habitual behaviors, thoughts, actions, words and routines? How are our habits and what we consume (food, thoughts, media, environmental energies) impacting the health of our lives and what we are wanting to build for ourselves? Under this energy habits can be really empowered and solidified (so choose wisely) and others can be broken if we are willing to overcome serious tension, discomfort and pain that fixed energy will ask us to conquer when we set off to end a habit. Dig your heels in!!
We can use this energy proactively by identifying habits we would like to solidify and that match the actions the of future, amazing and exalted vision we have of ourselves. This energy will help us create deep roots into the things, thoughts, actions and behaviors we know we want and need to do and get moving on / serious about.
In terms of bad habits - it's time for a detox. If you see it (if you are willing to SEE it) this is a nice season to go ahead and climb the mountain and overcome. Rip the roots out. Face the pathetic part of your mind (**we all have one) & analyze where your comforts and pleasures have become poisons and conveniences have become prisons.
In the physical body, an imbalance in Taurus energy- and what we are talking about above - can look like the over ingestion of and/or lack of release and unwillingness to eliminate toxins. This energy draws in, but is not always strong with elimination (Scorpio) - which translates simply as difficulties with metabolism, detoxification, transformation, and elimination of what is being consumed. The liver, colon/bowel movements, weight, metabolism, thyroid health and dietary habits should be reviewed this season supported to prevent toxicity (and weight) from building in the body.
Whether in body, mind or energetic/spiritual: habits and excessively holding on to that which has become toxic, can be released through practical supports for the physical body that balance and exalt Taurus energy. Focusing on your liver health, diet, metabolism, exercise/weight lifting, bowel health and detoxification are keys to changing your mind, elevating your spirit and nourishing your physical body this season! Bowel and liver cleanses are advised!
TAURUS SEASON HERBS TO WORK WITH:
ROOTS - Burdock, Dandelion, Yellow dock
Supporting digestion, the liver and colon and the processes of toxin removal and elimination during this season are indicated to move stagnancy, bloating/retention and holding of toxins that can happen under this energy both mentally, energetically and physically. We are not treating anything with these recommendations, but simply using Natures flow and Seasons to guide us in ways to work with herbs, the Earth and our body to support the natural flow of life force and promote health both within and without
These herbs are some of my favorites and are so lovely to help reduce bloating, improve digestion of meals and with general liver and bowel function - the weak points of Taurus energy that fall under the rulership of its opposite, Scorpio.
RED MOON HERBS has a tincture called DEEP ROOTS - that I almost always have handy or in a bag somewhere near me. You can use code: DRJAZ for a discount :)
****Always use common sense, take radical responsibility for yourself and body and research properly or make an appointment with a practitioner before starting new herbs or supplements if that is the right thing for you to do or you have any actual medical/health concerns or take other medicines/pharmaceuticals
TAURUS SEASON MOVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS:
Taurus is a sign known for its strength, endurance (some may say stubbornness), stability and holding power. This is the season to add in more frequent weight/resistance training practices in your weekly training. Classic lifts like squats, deadlifts and bench press are the lifts of Taurus.
For other options or alternatives: longer isometric holds such as planks, wall squats, or even holding prolonged stretches (especially for the pelvis and hips) for at least 2-3 minutes are great ways to work with this energy.
Any activity that opens and cultivates the energy of patience and perseverance and that push into certain levels of discomfort or emotional release are all great options.
TAURUS SEASON PLAYLIST :
This season I aimed to showcase the magnetic sound that Taurus season is known for due the concentration of life force that pulls to the throat and vocal cords. While a singer like Adele is a classic and exalted Taurus and example of the "sound of Taurus," this playlist is aimed more at touching on the themes of this period of time, our habits, mindsets, the accumulation of resources, our sense of the devil and the overcoming of the devils, habits and addictions within.
WORDS OF TAURUS:
“I realize that under the circumstances you have described you feel the need to see clearly.
But your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart.
Without, everything seems discordant; only within does it coalesce into unity.
Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakes.”
-Carl Jung- (Taurus Moon)
***I want to thank and honor my teachers Judith Hill and Kira Sutherland who have given me a strong foundation in all of the work I do and the work I share here.
GET PREPARED, GET READY, GET RID OF, GET GOING, GET FOR-REAL WITH YOURSELF! 'Tis the season!
Thank you all - happy Taurus season - I hope you found something useful and beautiful to explore about your own cosmic body this season.
In Joy,
Jaz
