Tarot for the Taurus Lunation, The New Phase

It's been a while since I've written about the tarot and astrology. It struck me today (on the New Moon in Taurus) that it might be interesting to work through this lunation one phase at a time using cards associated with the beginning of each phase.

Symbolon Deck
The New Moon in Taurus begins her journey with a pleasant sextile to Neptune in Pisces. Taurus and Pisces are an interesting combination.

This rainy day mix of earth and water is a wonderful metaphor for the Moon in Taurus, the most earthbound of the signs.
