* New Moon in Taurus
lunation
New Moon in Taurus: plant one real intention around stability and the senses.
Read the full reading
The sky goes dark in Taurus, and that is not emptiness. It is the month's reset around stability and the senses. New Moons are the inhale: the seed is underground, but the body already knows.
This New Moon asks you to commit to what is worth keeping. Do not renovate your whole life overnight. Pick one sentence you can repeat for two weeks and let the feeling arrive before the spreadsheet does.
Deep dive
Think of what lasts in the hands. That image is the architecture under the mood. New Moons in Taurus reward honesty about desire, not performance about ambition.
Gravity and hope: if the intention still matters at the Full Moon, it was real. If it fades, you just saved yourself a longer detour.

Mercury Cazimi
aspect
Mercury Cazimi: heart-of-the-Sun clarity around speech, contracts, and timing.
Read the full reading
Mercury meets the Sun in Cazimi, seated in the heart of the solar fire where a planet is briefly purified instead of burned. This is concentrated weather for speech, contracts, and timing, not background noise.
Claim one clean truth and act on it before the window closes. Cazimi rewards backbone, not spectacle.

* Full Moon in Sagittarius
lunation
Full Moon in Sagittarius: meaning and horizon reaches the surface. Look without flinching.
Read the full reading
The Moon fills in Sagittarius, and Full Moons do not whisper. Whatever you built around meaning and horizon is visible now. You may get clarity, or you may get the bill for what you kept semi-dark on purpose.
Use this Full Moon to separate completion from theater. Celebrate what is actually ripe. Release what only looked finished because you were tired of carrying it.
Deep dive
Keep the road that keeps calling nearby. Full Moons in Sagittarius expose where you stayed loyal to a version of the story that no longer fits your spine.
Illumination is information, not indictment. What you integrate now becomes usable strength by the next New Moon.
