April 30, 2022 at 1:26 pm PDT is a new Moon eclipse in Taurus. Earth sign Taurus rules the 2nd house of money, possessions, and the material realm. An eclipse is an absence of light when the shadow is seen, making this lunar month time to appreciate what is of value in your life, what to keep, and what to discard. Therefore, this lunar month is ideal for a massive spring cleaning on all levels.
This new Moon eclipse begins Wood Snake lunar month. Discerning your values and letting go of what is not needed is easier during a Snake month, the time for introspection and to shed skins of the past. The element Wood adds energy and enthusiasm for growth in springtime. In Chinese Medicine, Snake’s earthly branch is Fire. Wood feeds Fire, creating a bright blaze that is very fortunate for growth and development.
The new Moon, Sun, and Uranus are all in Taurus to shed your skins in a new and unique way. With the influence of Uranus, there can be sudden opportunities. Still, be thoughtful and plan before you make a big move. Mercury is retrograde from May 10 to June 3 to be more thorough.
Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune are all in Water sign Pisces. This is favorable for romance and relationships. Plus communication is strong with Mercury, newly in Gemini, trine Venus and Pluto. There can be clear conversations that get to the heart of the matter.
If you need to schedule surgery or plan an important event during this eclipsed Snake lunar month, I can help you find the perfect date. A surgery tip is to never schedule surgery on the full Moon, or the three days before and the two days after the full Moon, to avoid swelling and complications. My information about event astrology.
Opportunities for material and spiritual transformation are for all during this Wood Snake month, and are most profound for Earth signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn and those born in Snake, Ox, Phoenix (Rooster), and Monkey years.
Happy new Moon,
