Astro Daily: May 18, 2023

We’ve reached the dark of the moon, the final day of a lunar month that began with a solar eclipse on April 20. It’s a day to take stock, to reflect on the changes or possibilities that Eclipse Season brought our way. Tomorrow’s Taurus New Moon gives us a reset.

Eclipses are interesting. They open a six-month chapter that threads its way into a larger story that arcs over an 18-24 month period. While we’re closing out Eclipse Season with this new moon, it represents a different phase in the story that began with the solar eclipse.

Tomorrow’s new moon isn’t an eclipse, but it brings a ripple of eclipse energy and sets us up for a lunar month that may bring this most recent Eclipse Season better into view. It also is an echo back to the lunar eclipse at 27 Taurus on November 19, 2021. Perhaps we can see a thread connecting these two periods of time.

That said, rest, relax, recharge. Tomorrow starts a new chapter.

If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for May 19, 2023.
