New Moon in Taurus: Identifying Wounds of Self-Expression/ Turn-taking care of Ancestral Gardens
Hello all,
To read this please understand that this New Moon is a part of a New Moon cycle. A New Moon cycle is one New Moon to the next New Moon. Overall, this writing may be used for an entire month. But like all stories, chapters repeat and overlay or should I say cycles repeat and overlay- it is up to us to be mindful of when one story (cycle) ends and the next one begins.
