NEW MOON IN TAURUS

Malama I Ka `Aina ... the title and practice, came as an inspiration during the Aries energy of new beginnings.  New starts need care to grow.  Now, the fine-tuning and care necessary to persevere comes with the Earthy influence of Taurus.  Here in the woods, I notice how the recent warmth of the sun has already brought the sleeping limbs of cherry, pear and peach trees into fluffy blossom.  The moss-covered floor of the forest is drying, turning color with the appearance of higher sun.  My walks have introduced me to the enduring long-lasting, deeply rooted trees:  Doug Fir, Sylvia the Madrona, Garth the Guardian.  As I spend time with these ancestors and ask to be known to them, they talk.  I listen.  Patience, I feel the patience.

New Moon is a time to listen and look again at our purpose, our goals, our kuleana.  Astrologer Kathy Rose offers a beautiful view of NEW MOON IN TAURUS.  Listen and consider your goals and your intentions.  Add the newly developing connection with KAULANA MAHINA, a different way of looking at time.  New Moon according to most calendars and the video here names MAY 3RD as NEW MOON.  This moon we pay attention to the variation and the flexibility of MAHINA's timing.' 

Consider this:

• We have begun this workshop on Sunday, May 1st, look at the sidebar on this blog and NOTICE the shape and description of the moon. 
• IF you are living in a place where you're able to see the moon, go outside and look for Mahina.  Notice the illumination or the absence of it. 
• We are going to drive out of the woods and find a place to see Mahina rise or make her appearance.  It's an exercise, a practice to add to our first-hand experience.

During the next couple of days and nights, we will re-new the intentions set during the April Aries  new intentions.  If possible, go outside, look up.  What do you see?
