Welcome,
Dear friends,
To this astrological and alchemical guided meditation for moon journaling for Taurus 2024.
In a meditative approach,
We'll open to spirit and create initial journaling phrases which can be used with the Taurus moon,
Sun,
And earth cycle for 2024.
We open our compassionate hearts toward the highest and best for this moon cycle.
As we weave spirit and intuition into our daily lives,
Please use an ongoing grounding exercise that suits your individual needs.
This guided journaling meditation is not meant as a substitute for professional mental health or spiritual counseling.
Gather your journal,
Your pen or pencil,
To write your emergent journaling entries during this session.
The moon holds the silver of our emotions and our mind.
The sun holds the gold of our heart and soul.
The earth is our salt,
Our grounding,
And with the moon and sun,
The earth completes a sacred alchemical alembic or container where we can fulfill our soul's commitment of service to the health of our planet and participate in an awakened,
Peaceful,
Global community.
We live within this alchemical container.
We refine our days and years within the protective and nurturing distillation of this colossal natural realm of moon,
Sun,
And earth.
In seeking spiritual alchemy,
Our spirit is transmuted,
Freed from fear and limiting personal beliefs and a lack of self-acceptance.
The gradually changing reflective light that we know as the moon's phases provides a guiding symbolic template for personal and collective birth,
Nurturance,
Growth,
Fruition,
And dissolution into seed form.
The light and darkness display its repeating rhythm for us as the relationship changes in a never-ending pattern.
So connect with the moon right now.
Perhaps you may know where it is in your sky at this very moment.
Visualize a shimmering thread that forms a loop of sacred containment as it goes the full distance around you on the earth,
The moon,
And out around the sun and back to yourself on the earth.
This sacred containment regulates our ocean tides,
Our cycles of blood,
And all cycles of life and regeneration here on earth.
We see an ancient repeating pattern of light and darkness that calls to us,
Inviting us again today for self-reflection from inner knowledge and supporting us to experience a state of intuitive listening.
In our meditation today,
We immerse ourselves in the flow of this container that the moon,
Sun,
And earth create together.
We will also visualize the process of life within this container through the life of a plant from germination to flower to seed and align with the recurring and regenerative cycle of nature that we share with all living beings.
To create your alchemical container for the Taurus moon cycle,
Visualize the shimmering thread as a loop from you on earth,
All around the moon,
And then around the sun,
And then back to you.
The moon is aligned directly between the earth and the sun at the new moon.
The moon is not visible to us as the sun shines only on the side we cannot see.
Within this container of the new moon phase in Taurus,
What is emerging for you?
In the darkness underground,
Germination of the seed is in completion and the tiny sprout begins to unfurl toward the warmth and light of the sun.
What is emerging?
What am I opening to for this new cycle?
What is entering my awareness?
This is a contemplative phase where we can set our intentions for the whole cycle ahead.
In a general way,
The radiant and compassionate sign of Leo,
The sun,
And the fifth house energy are associated with every new moon,
Sun,
Earth phase.
We emerge with this Leo heart-centered and creative self-expression.
During universal time,
The new moon phase in Taurus is on May 8th,
2024 at 321 AM universal time.
The sun and the moon are at the same degree,
Which is 18 Taurus O2.
You can mark this on your chart if you're using your astrological chart.
The earth is in the opposite sign of Scorpio in the same degree,
So 18 Scorpio O2.
Some of the journaling keywords you can consider for Taurus are sensual,
Dependable,
Resourceful,
Deliberate,
Practical,
And patient.
An example of a journal entry could be,
I emerge with practical and resourceful heart-centered self-expression to help create an ethical world with openness to communicate new ideas,
Perspectives,
And experiences for this moon,
Sun,
And earth cycle.
At the crescent phase,
The moon is now well on its journey around the earth.
Our container begins to change shape,
So visualize the shimmering thread loop forming on a triangle container between the earth,
Moon,
And sun,
An acute triangular shape.
The moon is at 45 degree angle from the earth,
And we see it visible as a slim crescent shape,
A bright meditative closed eyelid shape,
Or perhaps a shy sliver of a hello smile in our sky.
Within this container of the crescent phase,
It's cancer energy.
What is the promise or challenge?
The tiny sprout has become a seedling that needs some nurturance.
We reach out toward a promise of change through growth,
Although it may be challenging.
What do I need to overcome to move forward,
And what am I resisting?
This is a unique new growth phase that requires our nurturance and protection.
The sensitive,
Vulnerable,
And intuitive sign of cancer,
The moon,
And the fourth house are associated with all crescent moon,
Sun,
Earth phases.
We carefully reach out toward helpful supports to receive nurturance.
Using universal time,
This crescent moon phase is on May 11th,
2024 at 2.
41pm universal time.
The moon is at 6 Cancer 23,
The sun is at 21 Taurus 23,
And the earth is at 21 Scorpio 23.
Some of the journaling keywords you can consider for cancer are nurturing,
Attached,
Emotional,
Protective,
Psychic,
And intuitive.
So an example of a sentence might be,
I promise and challenge myself to embrace my intuitive self and engage in nurturing support to create an ethical community.
At the first quarter phase,
As the moon continues its journey around the earth,
Visualize the shimmering thread loop forming a wider triangular shape,
A right triangle,
Between the earth,
Moon,
And sun.
The moon is now at a 90 degree angle from the earth,
And we see it as visible in a half circle shape,
A bright smiling shape in our skies.
In this container of the first quarter moon phase,
In Leo,
What action shall I take?
The plant develops its roots,
Stems,
And leaves,
And photosynthesis strengthens.
What are the steps I need to take right now?
What will move me forward in my intention?
The first quarter is an action phase,
To expand our experience into the world,
And that aligns with the sign of Sagittarius,
The planet Jupiter,
And the ninth house,
Which are associated with every first quarter phase.
We expand and explore our options to experience the world more fully.
Using universal time,
The first quarter moon phase is on May 15,

At the gibbous phase,
The moon now moves past the earth's location,
So visualize our shimmering thread forming an obtuse triangular loop between the earth,
Moon,
And sun.
The moon is at 135 degree angle from earth.
We now see nearly the entire side of the moon,
A sort of fat almond shaped in our sky.
During this gibbous moon phase in Libra,
What structures will I manifest?
The buds appear on the branches of the plant and they grow.
How do I manifest growth?
It needs to be adjusted.
This is a maintenance phase for tempered growth and supportive adjustments.
The sign of Capricorn,
A manifesting and realistic sign,
The planet Saturn,
And the 10th house are all associated with every gibbous moon phase.
We take stock of our progress and make patient,
Informed,
Realistic decisions.

The full moon has moved behind the earth,
Directly across from the sun.
To visualize that loop of shimmering thread to contain the earth,
The moon is at 180 degree angled from the earth,
And we now see the fullness of the moon aglow with reflected light from the sun.
During this full moon in Sagittarius,
What reflection and fulfillment am I communicating?
The blooming flowers appear and enjoy turning their faces to reflect and enjoy the warmth of the sun.
How am I seeing and communicating my experience?
How do I reflect my experience within myself and in my outer world?
This is a reflective phase,
As the sun reflects off the moon.
To be thankful and grateful,
Offering compassion for ourselves and others.

The planet Mercury,
And both the third and sixth house energies are associated with every full moon phase.
We reflect upon our own experiences in communication with others.

We visualize our shimmering thread is again forming an obtuse triangular loop between the earth,
Moon,
And sun.
The moon is at 225 degree angle from the earth,
And we now see nearly the entire side of the moon again,
Sort of a widening almond shape in our skies.

How do I share with others?
The fruit of the plant is shared in the community.
It is the time of the first harvest.
How can I share my experiences and knowledge with kindness and care?

Visualize our shimmering thread is again forming that right-angled,
Triangular loop between the earth,
Moon,
And sun.
The moon is at a 270-degree angle from the earth,
And we now see once again the half-circle smile in the sky.
During this last quarter phase in Pisces,
What change and reorienting of my perspectives do I need to make?

At the balsamic phase,
As the moon is now nearly closing the journey around the earth,
Visualize that shimmering thread loop forming an acute triangle container between the earth,
Moon,
And sun.
The moon is once again at a 45 degree angle from earth,
Or a 315 degree angle of closure toward that 360 degrees.
We see it as a slim crescent shape,
Again a bright meditative closed eyelid,
Or perhaps a sliver of a smile of goodbye in our skies.
During this balsamic phase in Aries,
What am I gifting?
What am I releasing?
What am I planning for the next cycle?
A sacred gift,
Saved from this past cycle.
The seed is planted and released to develop the next cycle toward the germination which will begin again in the darkness underground.

What is my sacred gift?
This is a contemplative phase as we move toward the next new moon.
