In this somewhat stabilizing New SolLunar Cycle, the Sun and Moon align in mid-sidereal Taurus which is an earth sign that rules the throat chakra and aspects of our physical realms like our bodies, resources, finances, Earth itself. In addition, this New Moon is conjunct the star of Aldebaran, a star of visionary possibilities brought down to Earth through our collective endeavors. This cosmic activation is about motivating individuals to step forward in their field of leadership and influence. Everyone has a way to serve the higher good. May we continue to do our inner work, intend and pray for more cooperation and engage with less division.

The New Moon Solar Eclipse in sidereal Aries is dynamic, initiatory, courageous in every way. Eclipses offer an energetic severing from our past selves and a realignment with our future selves. Both the Solar Eclipse of April 30 and the Partial Lunar Eclipse of May 15 are linked to the North Lunar Node, a point that calls in our future selves, activating desires and motivation via internal awakenings and external shifts for where we are headed over the next six months. Feel your renewed will, passion, joy, belief in yourself as a fiery prayer, a flame of fortitude.

I dedicate this post to 399, Grizzly Bear Matriarch of Grand Teton National Park. And thank you my friends, Shannon and David Biegel, for the use of you exquisite precision portraits of 399 and the quad cubs. May these Grizzlies be safe in this lands they roam.

This New SolLunar Cycle in sidereal Pisces is linked exactly to both Mercury and Chiron. This can mean that in the upcoming month it is important to pay attention to your mental health and thought patterns alongside your overall physical health. It is essential we each take exquisite self-care, by choice or by necessity in this time of sensitivity and vulnerability. We will thankfully experience a new 13-year cycle of Jupiter and Neptune aligning in sidereal Aquarius so read more about this key historic transit in my post. Be well, rest, listen more deeply than ever to your wise, inner voice.
