May 7, 2024 at 8:22 pm PT is a new Moon in Taurus. Earth sign Taurus rules the 2nd house of money, possessions, and the material realm including the beauty and abundance of Mother Nature. The new Moon, Sun, Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus are all in Taurus that can be a grounding and stabilizing influence this lunar month due to the fixed earthiness of Taurus.
Especially fortunate is that Taurus is ruled by Venus bringing love, beauty, and creativity. Plus the Moon is exalted in Taurus for enjoyment of sensual pleasures and appreciation of nature in springtime. Mercury is no longer retrograde until August, so time to put plans into action and plant new seeds this new Moon cycle.
This new Moon begins the lunar month of the Earth Snake. Of the 5 Taoist elements Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood, the Earth Snake is the fortunate Gold Snake. Earth qualities of honesty, practical, and reliability are combined with Snake’s artistic ability and eye for beauty. The kind Gold Snake values love more than money, and harmony more than competition, making this lunar month the time to create peace.

Happy new Moon,
