Saturday, MAY 4

The New Moon occurs today in the sign of Taurus at 6:46 PM, making it a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Bull. It’s time to enjoy life’s simple and physical pleasures, as well as activities that bring us in touch with nature and with our bodies. It’s time to “stop and smell the roses” and to become more aware of what makes us feel comfortable and secure. This is an excellent cycle under which to re-evaluate our relationship to money and possessions, as well as to discover what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. We may be building and developing 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. In the coming week, we might make realistic plans and set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks after the Full Moon occurs. This New Moon harmonizes with Neptune, Saturn, Pluto (wide), and the North Node, suggesting that it feels natural to connect with a sense of purpose for making changes and starting anew. We can be filled with a mission. Overreaching or cockiness is something to watch for with Mars opposite Jupiter.

A Mars-Pluto quincunx coming into play today can point to some tensions as we recognize the need for change but may be putting too much pressure on ourselves to make it happen. It’s best to pace ourselves.
