Saturday, APRIL 30

The New Moon, partial Solar Eclipse occurs today at 4:28 PM EDT. In the sign of Taurus, the focus is on matters related to personal finances, values, ownership, physical and material resources, personal possessions, feelings of worthiness, desire for safety and security, resistance to change, comfort, sensuality, and familiarity. This eclipse can prompt new beginnings with any of these things. It’s about strengthening our sense of security, re-evaluating our relationship with money and possessions, and discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. It’s a time to consider new ways of increasing our income or earning power. Circumstances challenge us to get in touch with what we value and want in our lives and perhaps part with those things or situations that aren’t contributing to our feelings of worthiness.

Venus aligns with Jupiter shortly after the eclipse, and with this proximity, this influence takes on more power. It encourages much hopefulness, generosity, and friendliness. We more readily give one another the benefit of the doubt. We’re cooperative and forgiving. This transit can also elevate our expectations! We can be indulgent or tempted to overspend or overstate our feelings. Our love of learning, exploring, and sharing are in the spotlight, and our appetite for love and pleasure is especially strong. We’re opening our hearts and perhaps wallets as well.
