New Moon Crystal Grid for the New Moon in Taurus on April 16th at 21:01 BST.
Themes and Planetary Alignments
The themes for this new moon are manifestation, stability, financial planning, deep healing, self-worth, revelations, reclamation and reconnecting with what truly matters. This new moon brings grounding energy for fresh starts and its alignment with fixed star Algol makes it the ideal time for setting intentions. Algol represents the fierce strength and resilience of the divine feminine. This new moon encourages you to be creative and embrace your inner strength and used it plant seeds for what you truly want in your life. Powerfully reclaim what’s yours and build a life that can’t be shaken by fear, manipulation or old timelines.
Taurus, ruled by Venus, is all about abundance, beauty and stability and this new moon is the perfect time to focus on manifesting security and comfort in your finances, relationships or home. The moon conjuct Mercury and Uranus can lead to sudden insights and a need for grounding in your emotional responses and provides an opportunity to solved an old problem by seeing it from a new perspective. With Venus conjuct Mars and Chiron, this moon also brings the opportunity to heal old wounds, particularly relating to self-worth and relationships.
Intention
The intention for this grid is to manifest financial security and abundance in all areas of life and heal old wounds and beliefs that limit your self-worth. That intention is written as having already happened to heighten its frequency and manifesting ability: “I am healed, whole and worthy of the financially secure and abundant life that I live and gratefully share with others”. Having released what doesn’t help or serve over the last 2 weeks since the Full Moon, you have made space for what you wish to manifest in your life at this time.
How to Use the Energy of This Grid
To use the energy of this grid, focus meditatively on the intention and the crystals for several minutes, clearly visualising your healed self living the life of abundance that you want to be living as already happening. Sense how that feels in your body. It’s important that you really feel the emotion attached to the experience so that you align vibrationally with what you want to manifest. Without the matching resonance, manifesting is very difficult, if not impossible. Then simply be open to allowing it all to unfold without trying to control how it happens. Trust and have faith that it will. ✨💫
Thank you crystals for supporting us to heal and manifest an abundant and financially secure life into reality. 🙏💎
