A Cancer Moon picks up on the energies of Venus and Jupiter and Cancer, the two “benefics” in the sky. It’s a day to focus on family and home, to make time for the people or the experiences that support and nurture our lives, and to receive care in return.
That said, it’s the last full day of the Sun in Taurus, a season meant to help us create stability and security, to revel in the pleasures of earthly life. Even though the Sun will move onto Gemini tomorrow, May 20, at 8:36 pm ET, we have the support of a recent Taurus New Moon and lunar month to continue our experiences through the lens of Taurus.
The last degree of any sign of the zodiac demands reflection (the Sun will reach 29 Taurus today). What have we learned? How have we consciously experienced the energies of Taurus in our lives over the last few weeks? We can use today to savor our food, to seek comfort, and to indulge the senses.
Taurus governs over our material life, from the basics of food, water, and shelter, to the things we own, the physical resources we have available, and even our relationship with safety and security. Taurus teaches us the importance of reliability and dependability, that commitment as well as care and attention allow life to thrive.
In the meantime, now that Mercury is in Gemini, it’s making a busy lineup of aspects to other planets. Our choices matter as Mercury makes a square to the Lunar Nodes today. Making good choices means using the wisdom and maturity that we have cultivated within to know what is a good choice for us versus one that does not serve us. Reach inward today to make sure your choices are in alignment for yourself. The results could have far reaching consequences.
If you are in AUSTRALIA or NZ, this forecast applies approximately for May 20, 2026.
