This week’s New Moon and game-changing shift of radical planet Uranus into Taurus signal major upgrades in our willingness to ask directly and deliciously for what we really want, and to have the courage to recognize that we fully deserve it.
To truly settle in for this feast, we’ve first got to release what’s no longer tasty. Taurus represents the fixed earth goddess energy of endurance — the sweet, solid ground under our feet, and the sense that we will always be fully fed. Uranus wants to electrify this earth and split us open for reinvention. When these forces combine, we’re asked to find the still point amidst change. What do you know to be true through space and time? What has been with you since the beginning? Whatever it is, treat it like a tiny eternal lighthouse that steers your soul from deep within.
We’re closing a cycle consciously and deliberately this week, and being asked to surrender sources of sustenance that are no longer building our beautiful bodies up. Kiss what’s already leaving you straight on the lips so you can be ripe and ready to snack on what’s coming your way…
# TAURUS
Rallying Cry:
A consciousness-shifting 180 is within my grasp.
Power Moves:
The cosmos has served up some major changes for you this year and this week offers a taste of the consciousness upgrades that are available when you submit to these shifts. And while you may find yourself feeling a bit nervous about the unknown reveals, you have the opportunity to shift this nervousness into pure excitement. You simply can’t continue the way you’ve been going, Taurus, and this breaking point is actually a breakthrough point to the other side. Listen in for newness is every form — whether it’s a shift in color palette or a completely game-changing attitude swap. You’re ready to show new diamond facets of yourself that you’ve been keeping under wraps. Let all parts of yourself catch the light, Taurus.
# GEMINI
Rallying Cry:
I have the courage to receive the full bounty.
Power Moves:
Lay back into the silks, Gemstone, and open wide to the good stuff. The New Moon ignites your zone of dreamy receiving and moonlit allowing, and you’re entering into a mastery with the concept of flow. This is distinctive from passivity and that distinction is where you’re being asked to focus your attention, Gemmy. There’s a easier way to travel right now. A responsiveness you can cultivate after you get clear on the reality you’d like to birth. Dream it big and then dive into the sheets and let the world do its work.
# CANCER
Rallying Cry:
I keep pace with the future that’s already headed my way.
Power Moves:
This is a rhythmic week for you Cancer, and with New Moon energy entering your house of long-range vision and future scheming, you’re being gifted the opportunity to slow down and pan out. There are undeniable changes unfolding for you, and what you thought you wanted and the way you’ve been moving towards those goals is up for review. Let yourself catch a pause in the action right now and check in to see how you want to move. You’re quite literally being asked to sync up your body with these future plans. How do you want this new life to feel in your bones, Cancer? Start with gut sensations and grow from there.
# LEO
Rallying Cry:
When I commit to conscious endings, I can show up for bold beginnings.
Power Moves:
With the New Moon and Uranus igniting your zone of self-sufficient wilderness survival, this is a potent week for seizing your sense of competence. And this starts with the power of no, and the willingness to cut the chords that are already untangling their grip around you. You know exactly what pattern is ready to be purged, and consciously celebrating and even ritualizing this ending is necessary, Leo. Honor the cycles of your life. Grieve what’s releasing if you need to. And then feel into a deeper belief that there are no clear endings or beginnings, just endless transformation. Peak into the ash and see what’s ready to rise again.
# VIRGO
Rallying Cry:
The love that I’ve given is the love that I need.
Power Moves:
You’re one of the zodiac’s most powerful space holders, sweet Virgo, and you show up for others without a second thought. This week asks you to hold that same space for yourself, and to see all of the love you’ve poured into projects and relationships as an energetic reserve that’s also meant for you. The New Moon magnifies your zone of faith, luck, and rolling the dice, and you’re invited to dazzle yourself and take a metaphorical mini trip to Vegas to indulge all your senses. Get “selfish” if you need to. And trust that filling your own cup completely will allow you to show up for others from a place of absolute fullness.
# LIBRA
Rallying Cry:
Dancing with the emotional tides reminds me that no feeling lasts forever.
Power Moves:
As the zodiac’s fiercest idealist, you’ve been in a mastery with the messier bits lately Libra, and may be wondering if there’s reason to lose faith in all that’s shiny and beautiful. But this week offers you something better and more complex than either/or, lightness/darkness. With the New Moon gracing your zone of underground feeling work, you’re being asked to honor all your emotional passages, and to notice that no single sensation is actually built to endure. It’s what makes the sweetest glow so precious, and the most painful moments tolerable. Just watch these fluctuations and give yourself over to a trust in the timing you can’t control.
# SCORPIO
Rallying Cry:
My partnerships are a mirror for every gorgeous part of me.
Power Moves:
You’re stepping out onto the ballroom dance floor this week, Scorpio, as the power of partnership takes center stage. With the New Moon igniting your relationship axis, you’re being asked to look at how you tolerate change in this realm. Are you ready to burn down a friendship or romance at the slightest signs that the other person is pulling away? Just notice any steely guards on your heart, and the sometimes compulsive patterning that seems to be “doing” you. And then get curious about the space between yourself and others — the moments of levity where you can both be yourselves completely without that feeling like a threat. It takes two fully intact souls to make a thing go right.
# SAGITTARIUS
Rallying Cry:
When I act with integrity, my life lines itself up with ease.
Power Moves:
This is a big body week for you, Sag, as the earthy New Moon slides into your zone of ritual and well-being. And while you’re a fire babe who often denies all forms of earthbound limitation, the container this provides right now is offering you ease rather than stale oppression. Your sense of integrity starts in your body, and you can figure out what you really want by tracking how it echoes in your physical form. Listen in for the smallest signals, and value this biofeedback above all else. Your body is reminding you of your internal code. Open up to a flavor of decision making that springs from your core.
# CAPRICORN
Rallying Cry:
Taking the time to celebrate is medicine for my soul.
Power Moves:
Take a load off, Cappy. With this week’s New Moon shedding sunlight on your house of passion and play, there’s an easier way to be right now. And it starts with summoning the courage to actually enjoy your life. While this may sound somewhat ridiculous, it’s a precious reminder of the deep need to treat yourself more kindly, Capricorn. There’s harshness you’re not even aware of, because you’ve become so habituated to speaking to yourself and “getting things done” in this way. Let it come undone right now. Leave the dishes in the sink. And treat yourself like you deserve to be here completely.
# AQUARIUS
Rallying Cry:
Acting on instinct fuels creative growth.
Power Moves:
With Mars entering your sign this week, and the New Moon sliding into your arena of emotional security and creative roots, you’re being invited back to source, Aquarius. Open yourself wide to the dreams and visions that first fueled your mission. What did you want to be when you were a astro kid? What wild fantasies did you entertain then that you could give some more air time to right now? You’re here to show the rest of us what’s possible Aquarius, and this week calls for some necessary retreat to reconnect to these utopian schemes.
# PISCES
Rallying Cry:
Choosing my words shifts my reality.
Power Moves:
With the New Moon and Uranus shining light on your zone of perspective and voice, you’re doing some juicy communication work this week, Pisces. Exercise the art of the precious pause before you let the words come tumbling down. You can be extremely deliberate about what you choose to share right now. Words are spells, and when you speak them into being you literally create your reality from the ground up. Start by letting this be a secret mission. Make a list of your favorite sounds. Write yourself a love letter. Draft a time capsule message with everything you want yourself to hear 1 year from now. And then, when you’re good and ready, you can speak it all out loud.
# ARIES
Rallying Cry:
My worthiness never needs to be proved.
Power Moves:
Rest on your laurels, little lamb. This week’s New Moon in your zone of snacks and steadiness emphasizes the power you can draw from just being, rather than having to do anything at all. For a Mars-ruled , this could feel uncomfy at first. Just notice how your mind starts to spin with all the things you think you have to accomplish and effort and “make happen.” And then push through this discomfort to the other side, where a vacation in stillness awaits you. You are already more than enough without having to sweat it out and force your hand, Aries. Remember that your mere existence is an undeniable gift.
