New Moon in Taurus
3:30 p.m.
Sun in Taurus
I breathe out exhaling
And thousands of fiery
Stars burst forth.
Each light is the pulsing
Of my celestial body.
Each silently issues the
Sacred sound of universal
Sky held in timeless magick.
I inhale and all of Earth’s
Fertility is drawn into me
Moving in ecstatic joy as
The starry heaven of my body
And the fecundity of earth
Join as one.
I breathe and my lover stretches
Upward in embrace seeking the
Perfection of our profound union.
I breathe and the Cosmos speaks
My Name and the star-filled
Breath of its calling becomes the
All of creation.
We just celebrated the Sacred Union of Beltane's Lord and Lady, so it is fitting that this New Moon in the astrological sign of Taurus is one of beginnings that may flow through all of our manifest endeavors. I have chosen the Egyptian Goddess Nuit as the image and energy for this New Moon. She is an ancient Goddess of the Heavens and her brother, Geb lay beneath her as the embodiment of the Earth. Her body is that of the blackened starry night and within that mantle lay the potential of planet and luminary to shine as they will adorning her form.
The union of Geb/Earth and Nuit/Sky held the space of the between from which life and the quickening of form drawn down into fertile space of ground could become. The cloak of Taurus calls us to be present in all of our physical workings.; and as it adorns the strength of the Solar God it illumines the way for what this bull of longevity and commitment chooses as its focus of protection. Nuit wearing the veiling of Taurus provides the promise "as above, so below" that bodes the nurturing of the cosmos and the life contained within her.
The Moon lay hidden; embedded in Nuit's creative waters. Sun and Moon find their way, entwining and moving in the ecstasy of promised union. This is the calling of a new moon's beginnings. This is the space of breath just before the exhale that gently feeds what will blossom forth in fullness in the weeks ahead. Look up to the blackness of the night sky, knowing that Nuit's Moon surrounds you. You, who stand on the form of her lover, Geb and for a moment in time, seed and womb becomes as one. What will you manifest this night?
