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. A New Moon likes to start something new and Taurus likes things she can put her hands on, like these cards, so here goes.
Taurus Lunation, The New Phase ~ A Moon Reincarnated

New Phase 2017 April 26, 8:17am - April 29th, 12:57pm EDT 6°Taurus - 24°Gemini
The Old Moon of Aries Moves On
The feisty Moon in Aries has a cooling off period late this afternoon before moving into Taurus later tonight. With conjunctions to both Mercury and Uranus in Aries, this spiciest of all Moons is alive with innovative and urgent ideas that she wants to act on immediately.
New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Pisces
With the New Moon in Pisces, we reach the last lunation cycle of the lunar year. As I write this, we are in the Balsamic Phase. It's the time of slowing down and resting. A time for dreaming and relishing the wonder of it all, the whirl of the mystery.
