New Moon in Taurus 6 degrees

New Moon in Taurus 6 degrees🌙♉️
Whilst preparing for our epic journey, my husband & I took a good look around our place to see what we wanted to take into this next phase of our lives. 
We coincidentally watched a doco called The Minimalists - awesome and inspiring, check it out- & BAM! that was it. A Herculean effort was launched into getting rid of practically everything we owned & the effects have been wonderful. Cathartic even. There comes a time when the stuff you own starts to own you. ( Although I did manage to ship 6 boxes of much loved books to the other side of the planet to welcome us to our new abode. Cut me some slack. I am a Taurus. )
This is the beauty & the contradiction of this sign. It's associated with finance, stuff & the finest things money can buy. But it is also enamoured by nature, delights in life's simplicities & revels in a beautiful meal, warm bath & a comfy bed. Not to mention someone glorious in it. Yum. 
The ruler of this New Moon, Venus is still in recovery from her recent retrograde. She's finally moving forward but still smarting a tad from matters brought to light. Questions around vulnerability, love and values have bubbled up and for some, this wasn't an entirely pleasant experience. 
Enter Saturn, standing still in the sky & in a staring match with Chiron & Venus. Who will blink first? Theme's of time, getting real & doing the hard yards may leave you worn out & touchy. Ouch factor galore but also brilliant for clearing out the dead wood & the bullshit. Stripping everything bare. 
There's a super concentrated link between think/talk planet Mercury in retrograde & feisty Mars to boot. Don't go poking the bear. To quote Bruce Lee " Don't touch me. Or I'll touch you back".
Taurus energy can't stand to be rushed & loves to take its time. It's a sign of endurance. In celebration of the wisdom of time, I'll pass the mike to a centenarian, 101 years to be exact, who was asked to share the best life advice she could muster. 
" Just be yourself & smile. It's so easy to be nice. When you're nice, people are nice. If they're not, walk away from them." 
This is the K.I.S.S method par excellence and something to hold onto now. Slow down, breathe and keep it simple, sassies. Mwah. 💋
