Today’s New Moon in Taurus begins 30-day cycle of focusing on wealth, family structures, and other solid themes in your life. For the next 30 days you may be tempted to sell your values short and compromise too much in order to maintain structure and stability. However, now is a good time to feel that solid ground beneath your feet. Slow down and be present. Enjoy beauty, friends, and family this month.
The Nakshatra of this Full Moon is Rohini, which literally means “growth” or “growing.” It shows the natural tendency in human beings to be creative and to find the joy in creativity.
June 7-12
Jupiter is in Scorpio and is exactly retrograde. At the very least, look up in the sky and feel that radiant joy of higher teaching and expansion. This comes from Jupiter. Now is the time to take those inspiring teachings into the depths of your heart and soul. This supports spiritual devotion. The presence of Jupiter in Scorpio transforms the vulnerability and emotional triggering of Scorpio to a deeper devotional state.
June 15-16
There is a Jupiter / Moon conjunction in Scorpio today, aspected by Venus. Gaze up in the night sky and see that beautiful moon, almost full, next to Jupiter. This configuration also promotes deeper devotion, and embodying higher wisdom, especially the wisdom that comes from what you are able to learn from and change in your lives as a result of facing your fears.
Since the Full Moon is approaching, emotions are running high. Be careful of the toxic ones. The aspects of Venus from Taurus reveal some important life lessons in relationships and perhaps money or values.
