Saturday afternoon's New Moon in Taurus lands at just shy of 26 degrees of the sign of the Bull. New Moons happen when the Sun and Moon join at the same place in the sky, signifying a "new beginning" of sorts. In the dark of the New Moon, the purpose and individual will of the Sun meet the architecture of emotional needs and responses that the Moon signifies and they express through the archetype of the sign they are in. (Oh, is that all?)

Taurus is the fixed earth sign. It is practical, stable, steady, and predictable. It follows Aries. Aries energy wants to move - the faster the better. It wants to start things, take action, express itself, boldly go where no one has gone before. Taurus energy takes what Aries started and first, decides if it has value. Is this worth giving my energy to? Is it a good use of resources? Will it serve a recognizable purpose? If the endeavor meets this criteria, Taurus will consider what is needed to build a strong and stable foundation for the project. It will gather resources, formulate a plan, probably develop a timeline and then, when everything is available, it will begin the work of bringing the idea into material existence. And it will keep at it until the project is completed. Deliberately. Intentionally. Consistently.
