Moon in Taurus -The Moon universally represents our physical body and the desire for safety and security. Due to the changing nature of her waxing and waning phases, these concepts are often the most difficult to stabilize.
When the moon moves through the earthy sign of Taurus, she is able to find her most concrete forms of expression and is most capable of physically manifesting her ideas, plans and dreams.
Venus in Libra - Venus is the universal symbol of the 5 senses and the concept of peace, harmony and comfort. She is the planetary ruler of Taurus and Libra and has extra strength while in these signs.
As she moves through Libra she is strengthened which in turn infuses the Moon in Taurus with additional mojo and emphasize her desire to generate more Venusian influences in our lives.
This pairing promotes embodied experiences, more peace and relaxation and enjoyment of the comforts and pleasures in life.

Dyad + Elements
Dyad is scientifically and philosophically connected to the traditional Western elements of air, fire, earth and water.
These four elements exist in everyone, giving us unique qualities, harmonies, and imbalances that can influence our physical and emotional well-being.
Understanding the symbolic and practical nature of each element can help us better understand ourselves and others.
The Alchemical Facial is connected to the annual journey of the Sun as its movements guide us through the different elements, cycles and seasons.
The major turning points are defined by solstices and equinoxes. Similarly, the focus of the Alchemical Facial changes on these dates in order to maintain alignment with the Aristotelian qualities of the current moment in time.
We hope the information provided can serve to increase awareness of how these forces are at work in your life, and help you feel more connected to the rhythms of the world around you.
