Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Welcome to the Taurus New Moon. This is the time in the lunar calendar when our attention turns to the material world. Taurus is the first earth sign; it’s the basic essentials of life — food, shelter, resource, and currency. It’s a sign to create stability and security.
A Taurus New Moon starts us in a new lunar month, bringing eclipse season to a close. Taurus invites us to renew and revitalize our material lives, to find sensuality and pleasure in the everyday. With Jupiter and Uranus conjunct, it’s a jolt to reinvent and innovate.
We’re in the dark of the moon as we start the week, on the verge of a Taurus New Moon. We’ve come full circle since a solar eclipse in April. The seeds have been planted for our transformation. Now a new month awaits to focus on our material lives.
The Moon’s in Pisces and we’re wrapping up the lunar month, one that began with a powerful solar eclipse. What has changed? What has not? It’s a day to look to the future, to dream up new visions, new realities that we want to come into manifestation.
Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, a point of transition in a new story that will unfold over the next two decades. While it’s early to see the elements of what Pluto in Aquarius will mean for us, look for the clues, the hints at a need for a restructure and change.
Welcome to May, a month that showcases the energies of Taurus and its ruling planet Venus. It’s a season to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of the natural world, to slow down, and take inventory. But it’s also a dynamic month that may speed things up.
Mars rushes into Aries, breathing life into sign whose duty is to bring us into the new. Mars in Aries inspires action and motivation. Depending on our sun sign, we may feel compelled to take charge or begin something new in a certain area of our lives.
Mars is on the move, returning to its home sign of Aries, a powerful ignition for new beginnings, renewal, and action. Mars also arrives in a sign of a recent solar eclipse and will act as a catalyst in the coming days and weeks for its potent energies.
Venus arrives in Taurus, a return home for the planet of love and beauty. Mars also enters Aries, a similar return home and an ignition of eclipse energies which makes for a dynamic month of May. Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, revealing the hidden.
Venus returns home to Taurus, a place where the planet of love revels in the pleasures of life. Over the next four weeks we are focusing on our material lives, making investments and taking inventory of what we own. Value and worth are a priority, too.
The Moon’s in Sagittarius and we turn our attention towards element Fire and Earth, two elements that inspire action and practical steps. It’s a day to set intentions for new initiatives, taking advantage of Jupiter and Uranus and their energies of reinvention.
Mercury is now direct in Aries, a push on the gas after a month of reevaluation. But it’s not quite full steam ahead. Mars is still pulling us back to the past and back to Pisces, a sign that wants us to consult our heart and intuition before moving forward.
