The upcoming Black Moon will bring nothing but chill vibes, you should be ready to relax as much as you can. The timing couldn't have been more perfect, especially after a very active Mercury retrograde and eclipse season.
This year, what was once dependable and consistent has been called into question, which is somewhat surprising considering that Taurus season is usually a time when it is natural to gravitate toward comfort and relaxation.
However, now that Mercury has gone direct and eclipse season has ended (for the time being), the Black Moon is reigniting our desire for pleasure and satisfaction.
As the Sun and Moon join forces in Taurus this month, all of the zodiac signs are encouraged to shift their focus to sensuality, gratification, and indulgences.
This month's Black Moon, which is ruled by Venus, encourages us to give in to our desires without having to hold back.
After a powerful Scorpio eclipse, it is officially time to reward yourself for letting go of fear, lack, and scarcity. Every sign is being encouraged to trust their intuition.
What are your instincts telling you that you need? It could be something as simple as preparing a home-cooked meal, reading a book, or watching a show that you enjoy.
