A New moon in soft yet strong,sensual, yet durable, powerful loyal, intractable unyielding,sometimes stubborn but always wonderful Taurus occurred at 12:31 PM on the West Coast of North America. It falls at 7° 47 minutes of the sign of the Bull. This comes hard on the heels of yesterday’s last Mars /Pluto opposition, and so there is a full square or difficult aspect to Mars in Leo and Pluto, newly into Aquarius. This may bring up feelings of uncertainty, tension, feelings of financial insecurity, self-esteem issues, comfort, and stability issues, and the need to get past that feeling of lack or perception of loss.
This is still an extremely positive and beneficial, New Moon, a beginning of the Taurus season, leaving behind the retrogrades and eclipses and oppositions that have caused so much chaos, thrown us into mayhem, brouhaha after bellicosity,labyrinthine detours, shenanigans, messes, reversal of fortune, disappointment, disillusionment, delays, and deception since last October. Now is the time to plan, strategize, and yet do not forget to take care of self; maybe some relaxation, a baked potato and a little sex? Taurus is about self-care, the body, the home( which IS the body), and loving, nurturing, stabilizing relationships. Taurus wishes to build rather than to tear down, Taurus wishes peace, but will go to war to achieve it. Therefore, we are still in a very dicey place. With so much Transpersonal and World Stage upheaval please be advised that Karmic Taskmaster Saturn will move into fiery Aries at the end of May and it will probably get worse before it gets better …BUT for now,this is the most wonderful time to lay in the sand, sit by the sea, traipse through the forest,climb a mountain, be with the people you love and enjoy the things that make you happy: our pets our children our spiritual structure, and connection. May be a good day for a good meal,some good music, some prayer for Peace, and watch our sorrows fade away in the rearview mirror For Now. Namaste
