After the Full Moon eclipse in Pisces, we’re reorienting as we head into the Disseminating phase with a Moon in early Taurus. This is a a cozy Moon. An at-home Moon. A Moon with her bare feet on the grass, toes wiggling.
The Sun–Moon aspect is a sesquiquadrate, a fancy name for a square and a half. This is an awkward angle, sometimes irritating. We’re trying to figure out what to do with our experiences.
As the misty dreamscape of the eclipse swirls around, a solid but gentle Taurus Moon is exactly what we need.
Imagine being lost. You find a cottage with lighted candles glowing in the windows. You’re nervous, but need to ask, if not for help, at least for directions.
You knock. A lovely grandmotherly sort of person comes to the door. Before you know it, you’re sitting in a cozy chair sipping a cup of tea you don’t remember asking for. The world feels solid again.
Your benefactor smiles and pats your arm. “The magic is a bit thick out there tonight,” she says, “but it’s lovely to see it.”
“Oh,” she adds, “by the way, what’s that in your pocket?”
You look up, surprised, not remembering anything there, but you slip your hand in and pull out a handful of seeds.
“Good!” she says, nodding briskly. “Plant those as soon as you find the right spot.”
These are dream seeds. Our gift from the eclipse. Maybe you already known what yours are. Maybe you’re still working through that. There’s no rush.
The Disseminating Moon is generally a time to share what we learned at the Full Moon, but “sharing” means different things at different times.
Right now, between eclipses, we’ve come through one with another on the way. The world feels fuzzy around the edges. Time is unmoored from clocks. We’re trying to remember that image we saw, or the song we heard, or the poem.
The Moon, exalted in Taurus, brings us back solid ground. It’s time to get grounded again, however that works for you––bodywork, a walk through the woods, working with your hands.
Hold on to those seeds, though. Plant when the time is right.
