Taurus/Gemini New Moon

Last month was challenging in many ways so my New Moon card for the last month and this month are combined.  Last month with the new moon in Taurus I was to “rouse my inner bull” who holds the stability of earth energy which is also reflected in 1st Chakra.  Universe conspired to make me pay attention.  I hurt my back and spent several weeks recovering.  I revisited 1st Chakra in meditation, reflection, artwork, journaling and with visits to the Chiropractor, my physician and other healers.  The message loud and clear was slow down….way down.  I heard it and I am paying attention!   This month with the new moon in Gemini I am advised that this a transitional month, the ending of old cycles and the beginning of new.  I am to remain flexible mentally and physically. Since I recommitted to my yoga practice and classes the physical part may be a little easier than the mental.  The color red in the card represents the 1st Chakra color, the turtle in the right hand corner is the reminder to take it slow and to honor the little one who has taken up residence in my front garden.  The butterfly is for transition and flight.  Many of my cards have a door or a window, which to me represents mystery and a way to transcend to another place.
