It's a rollercoaster out there and within all our own little worlds. That is hopefully coming to an end with the closing of this moon cycle, from which we are getting a fantastic burst of energy. Be wary and channel this energy into productivity and your health. It will be easy to go astray and channel it into destructive behaviors that can only become more damaging as time goes on.

This month's new moon in Taurus is conjunct with Uranus, God of the sky and overflowing with the power of change and development. The force of Uranus, commonly misunderstood, can easily be misguided if it's not carefully accompanied by caution. Take care with all your decision making at this time because sudden spurs of misinformed judgment can lead to unforgiving outcomes. This will be a time of change and it will catch you by surprise.

We urge you not to assume this change will be good or bad and to take everything as it comes, remaining level headed. Do not stretch out too far without a plan to catch you, should you fall. This is a beginner's mistake to act too quickly before all the pieces have be put into place. It is an especially poor time to make impulse commitments or purchases. For now, stick to the routine you have been practicing and lay low.

It is expected to feel restless in this time but know that we are all together in this journey. It is important, now more than ever, not to act impulsively or take risks. Doing so would bring about unwanted change and destruction to your life. Instead use this energy to bring healthy change. Learn a new skill or start a new podcast. Record your own podcast!

Learning new skills and growing to feel more secure and rooted in our ever-changing environment is a reasonable goal to set. Taking the time to learn these new skills and broaden our understanding of the world we live in is a great sign that our community is growing stronger together.
