Saturday, MAY 16

Today’s New Moon is in Taurus, and it occurs at 4:02 PM EDT. With this New Moon, we might make personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Bull.

It’s time to enjoy life’s simple and physical pleasures and activities that bring us in touch with nature and our bodies.

This New Moon encourages us to “stop and smell the roses” and become more aware of what makes us feel comfortable and secure. It’s an excellent cycle for re-evaluating our relationship with money and possessions. We’re discovering what truly satisfies and fulfills us. We may build and develop the initiatives and innovations begun in the Aries cycle.

With this potent Taurus energy, we have the chance to make significant changes in our lives.

This lunation has much healing potential. It aligns with Mercury and widely harmonizes with Jupiter, and we’re clear-minded and positive.

Today’s Sun-Saturn semi-square can dampen our enthusiasm a little. It tunes us into our sense of duty and desire to protect, control, and build. We’re cautious and serious-minded, and we could face challenges to self-expression. Responsibilities weigh on our minds.

However, today’s Mars-Chiron conjunction connects us with a mission. We may have the opportunity to take the lead or take action on matters that lead to healing, cleansing, or guiding others. It can be a time of releasing suppressed energies.

With this dynamic transit, we’re ready to address problem areas. We might take steps to boost our self-confidence, body image, and relationship with independence.

Also today, Mercury is parallel Uranus, and Uranus harmonizes with Vesta. It’s a good time to put in effort towards progressive causes and projects, and to bring new, unique, and exciting elements to our work. New techniques or options can emerge.

These influences can lead to interesting, unexpected, and inspiring ideas, mental detours, and conversations.

The Moon is void today from 9:03 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Mercury), until the Moon enters Gemini at 10:24 PM EDT.
