May 19, 2023 at 8:53 am PT is a new moon in Taurus. Venus rules Taurus, making it the sign of art and beauty. Earth sign Taurus rules the second house of money, possessions, and the material realm. The new Moon, Sun, Neptune, Jupiter, and Uranus are all in Taurus that can be very grounding and healing. Plus Jupiter (newly in Taurus) brings luck in general to everyone, especially Taurus.
This new Moon begins the lunar month of the Fire Snake until June 17. Time to shed skins of the past, and with so many planets in Taurus, especially shed if you have too much stuff! In Chinese astrology, Fire is Snake’s earthly branch. Fire Snake has a double dose of fiery passion and energy, making Fire Snake intense, expressive, and spiritual. So don’t hold back as you purge! Transformation can happen fast due to the element Fire. Contact me for your tarot card reading, astrology forecast, or feng shui consultation to help clear away what is no longer needed.
Fortunately, the Sun and Moon sextile Mars and Neptune in gentle Water sign Cancer. Mars sextiles are excellent for accomplishing all kinds of work. There’s more strength, courage of convictions, and physical vitality for accomplishments. With the influence of Neptune, people can work kindly with others. It’s easier to sense the energies of the people and circumstances around you, and work for the collective good.
The new Moon and Sun trine Pluto (newly in Aquarius). Pluto transits are cycles for rebirth and transformation when feelings and emotions can be intense. Communication goes beyond the superficial level for deeper understanding. Powerful experiences lead to learning about the inner workings of self and others. Due to the trines, there are opportunities for positive change that allow you to grow and evolve. Anticipate important discoveries.
Spring renewal is for all, and is most powerful for Earth signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn and those born in Ox, Snake, Monkey, and Phoenix (Rooster) years.
Happy new Moon,
