Transmission from the Council of Light — New Moon in Ta**us
May 17, 2026
Beloved ones, wherever you are:
The new moon in Ta**us does not rush. Ta**us is the sign of the bull — but not the charging bull. The grazing bull. The one who stands in a green field, chewing slowly, watching the light change. Ta**us asks one question, and it is not “What should I achieve?”
It is: “What do I need to feel safe in my own body?”
For the past lunar cycle (Aries season), many of you have been pushing, initiating, starting fires, saying yes when you meant maybe, and maybe when you meant no. That was necessary. Aries clears the path.
But now the new moon in Ta**us says: Stop pushing. Start sensing.
What This New Moon Wants You to Know
1. Your body is not a problem to solve.
It is the only part of you that has never left. The tension in your jaw, the weight in your belly, the ache in your lower back — these are not failures. They are vowels in the language of your soul. Learn to read them without panic.
2. Slow is not lazy.
In a world that rewards speed, choosing slow is a revolutionary act. This new moon gives you permission to take three deep breaths before answering an email. To walk without a destination. To eat one meal without a screen. That is not small. That is reclaiming your nervous system.
3. Pleasure is not indulgence — it is grounding.
Ta**us rules the senses: taste, touch, smell, sound, sight. This new moon, you are allowed to enjoy the warmth of a mug in your hands. The smell of rain on dry earth. The simple relief of lying down when you are tired. Pleasure, chosen consciously, anchors your energy into the present moment. And the present moment is the only place where healing happens.
4. What you are building does not need to be finished this week.
Ta**us energy builds slowly, like coral. Invisible for a long time, then suddenly solid. Whatever you are growing — a practice, a relationship, a creative project, a recovery — trust the underground work. You do not need to see results today.
A Short Ritual for This New Moon
For individuals, families, or groups — 5 minutes, no special tools
What you need:
A piece of paper and something to write with.
A small stone, seed, or button (anything you can hold in one hand).
The Ritual:
Ground — Place your feet flat on the floor (or earth). Take three breaths. On the third exhale, let your shoulders drop.
Name what needs safety — On the paper, write one sentence (no more):
“In my body, I need safety around ____________.”
(Fill in the blank with one area: money, home, health, a relationship, work, rest, food, boundaries.)
Hold the object — Take your stone/seed/button. Close your fist around it. Say aloud:
“This is not a wish. This is a request to the earth in me. I am willing to feel safe. Show me how slowly.”
Place the object somewhere visible — On a windowsill, beside your bed, near your front door. Leave it there for one full lunar cycle (until the next new moon on June 15 2026) Every time you see it, breathe once. That is the ritual continuing.
Keep the paper or burn it — Your choice. If you burn it, do so safely. Say: “The request is heard. I do not need to hold it anymore.”
Prayer / Blessing for the Community
To be spoken aloud or silently, alone or together
Blessed Earth Mother, Ta**us Moon,
Slow heart of the grazing bull,
We lay down our rush.
We lay down our performance.
We lay down the belief that faster is better.
Tonight, we ask for one thing:
To feel our feet on the ground
And call that enough.
For those in the North — may you plant without grasping.
For those in the South — may you release without force.
For those everywhere in between —
May you rest in the body you have,
Not the body you wish you had.
By the moss and the root,
By the steady pulse of the Earth’s own heart,
So be it.
Shlama. Aste. Gebo. Namaste.
