The Sun and the Moon are dancing together at 25 degrees ♉︎ Taurus.

This is the realm of sensual embodiment & self-love rituals. The soft earth beneath your feet, rose petals opening & the gentle medicine of hawthorn & damiana.

On the new moon, the energy turns toward heart opening & now is the time to create as you are entering a new lunar cycle of light gaining.

I invite you to go out into nature and breathe in the sensuality that exists all around us. This is a time to create rituals and spell-casting for deep emotional healing of the heart,

Call in the softness and beauty - to invoke love of self that is powerful yet transformative.

Invoke the archetype of the Empress Lover ♀ to inspire radical change in your life and to embrace the innovative freedom of a new expression of love showing up in your life.

Rider Waite Tarot - The Empress

The gift is resurrection in the heart of love & the grace of coming home to oneself.

Remember to check with your agency of self, as not all astrology is predictive with the planetary interpretation - you may have a fabulous experience of release and lightness through this new moon!

Much love from the wild woods…
