Taurus New Moon and Solar Eclipse – April 30, 2022, 4:28 PM Eastern Time
written by Jennie Date of Hidden Path Astrology
Inhabit Your Body
At the New Moon, we normally think about planting a seed of intention for the month ahead. However, at this lunation the Moon blocks the light of the Sun, adding the different focus of an eclipse. Eclipses draw your attention to the subconscious material that impedes your ability to be fully present. The Moon in Taurus suggests inhabiting and moving your body to release this material.
Our Bodies Hold The Keys
Taurus contains qualities of stability, stubbornness, and resilience. As a fixed earth sign, Taurus relates to the physical body, which requires cellular and systemic equilibrium for smooth operation. Our bodies also hold the keys to engaging with unprocessed emotions, the detritus that ensnares us in the past. Dropping into your body lets you be with the hurt, learn how to move with it, and reintegrate the lost parts of self.
Disconnection and Reconnection
In our sedentary technological existence, humans have become increasingly disconnected from our bodies and consequently, from our role as stewards of the natural world. This disconnection triggers the darker side of Taurus, describing a descent into a morass of hoarding and possession. When a single wealthy man can buy a multi-billion dollar corporation outright, we can no longer deny the absurdity of greed that permeates the culture. On the other hand, campaigns like One Billion Rising exemplify the powerful Taurus impulse to inhabit the body, using dance to protest the abuse of women and the environment.
