The Sun in Taurus is the Tree of Life, grounded and peaceful, seeking security and well being. The simple life. The physical world. Connection with the earth and honoring its beauty. Pluto (now Retrograde @ 2o Aquarius thru Oct 11) is continuing to deconstruct and reconfigure anything outdated in the early degrees of Aquarius and transforming a particular area of your life if it hits you personally – and you’ll feel it if it does.
May 3 – Retrograde Pluto sextiles Mars, giving you drive, focus and motivation, while Mercury is still in its Retrograde shadow and gaining speed to return to its usual pace on the New Moon.
May 7 @ 8:22pm PDT – The New Moon at 18o Taurus. We have now completed the Eclipse Wormhole and arrived in a new paradigm, as the journey through March-April have shape-shifted us and now it’s time for a new beginning, to set intentions for the dreams you want to manifest going forward.
Taurus is a builder, moving slowly and steadily with a plan. It is the energy of conscious obedience, attuned to your Inner Guidance, aligned with your heart to manifest abundance – and on this New Moon, it is supported by a profound planetary lineup!
Venus, the Sun, Moon, Uranus and Jupiter are all in Taurus – and supportive Saturn sextiles the New Moon, adding even more stability to the Taurus New Moon (which it loves). Yet Uranus and Jupiter bring another dimension to the picture – expansion, progress, innovative possibilities, stretching, opportunities.
Something new or unexpected was seeded on the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction of April 20, that will be activated later this month (if it hasn’t been already) in various ways, so this piece will be integral and active again and again. Stay tuned. It may be personal for you or it may be a collective experience.
Actually, the sky is the limit with Uranus-Jupiter! This duo can show up as the ultimate gift or a blindside (still the ultimate gift :)), but that’s only when needed to break up stale energy that’s blocking you from your Higher Good. Uranus is the Great Awakener, so I suggest you be proactive or Uranus will wake you up! Jupiter-Uranus isn’t always external – it can be a creative idea that arises from within you – or a circumstance, an opportunity, an offer or a meeting.
Taurus rules your values – what you value and how you value your Self. Everything in your life stems from this, so please give Self-honoring reverent consideration. Taurus loves comfort, pleasure, practical things and the material
world. I hope you treat yourself as the precious gift that you are and allow yourself to receive the blessings that flow your way.
A higher expression of Taurus energy is detachment – or non-attachment, as in the mind of the Buddha. Developing the skill of being unattached to things, people, outcomes, expectations, etc. and focusing on centering yourself inward will give you great stability, power, resilience and satisfaction. You can enjoy all life has to offer with less suffering when anything changes or leaves your life. This may require practice, but it will be worth it to drop the behaviors of control and codependency and learn to accept what is.
This is a week of fertility and opportunity. I urge you to set intentions for the New Moon and take actions to make your visions manifest. Bring them down to earth. You can multidimensionalize by embracing the higher dimensions, while operating in 3D with practical actions to manifest the vision for your future.
Enjoy. Appreciate. Slow down and be mindful as you participate in the cycle of creating and receiving the abundance that is available for you. Don’t block your Goodness with doubt.
Wishing you a week of peace, alignment, expansion and positive flow, as you honor your evolving Self.
