But first, the dark moon and the deep dreaming that accompanies her solitude. Today is the day for foolproof relinquishing, permanent banishing and unhurried inspiration as your wisdom bubbles up from the depths of the dark cauldron. Ever a moment for watching not acting - within and without - and sweet overdue rest. If it feels like you're pushing the proverbial uphill, it is only because you are fighting a biological imperative to lay in wait for the rush of energy that accompanies this night's new moon. Until then, stillness is the name of the game. A dark moon done well is its own reward.

It is time to make your welcome return to verdant Taurean meadows and the hallowed realm of the sensualist; to eat, drink and make merry, to have and to hold, to dance and to swoon as the band strikes up once more, to sprawl in the everlovin' arms of Mama Nature and drink in everything your felt senses have to offer. The light changes and the birdsong too when we hear the thunder of bullish hooves as the stars remind us once more of all we have been given here on earth.
