Astro Insights (AI)- May 2024

New Moon Taurus May 7, 2024, 2:20 pm EST

April was rough for most of us. If it wasn’t out right challenging, it was at least busy and full.

The New Moon on May 7 in Taurus is sextile Saturn and then in conjunction with both Uranus and Jupiter, so it gives us a chance to take a breather after last month’s eclipses and retrogrades.

As a matter of fact, enjoy the more easygoing energies of the early part of May with several planets in earthy Taurus. Remember, a new moon is when the Sun and Moon line up together, bringing our solar-will nature in alignment with our lunar emotional side. With these two in the same astrological energy, it’s our opportunity to set intentions and reflect on what we are doing in our lives and what newness we want to initiate. This month, envision what you’d like to see unfold. Particularly with a heavy emphasis on Taurus-ruled Venus, let yourself dream and create a life of beauty in your heart that you can manifest throughout the month.

Remind yourself of the goodness that surrounds you. Take inventory of what supports you; be it resources, friends, or your spiritual practices… then cultivate gratitude for all that’s good and let it sustain you the rest of the year.

• On May 20, the Sun moves into Gemini. It begins the shift of planets into
  this mutable, dualistic sign. (Venus moves into Gemini on May 24, Jupiter into Gemini on May 25, and Mercury follows on June 3) You may feel the pace of life pick up.
• May 23 is the full moon at 2° Gemini-Sagittarius.

Note: We use astrology as a guidepost for possibilities rather than a rigid indicator of what will be. When we are aware of the consciousness we hold inside us and work with it, we can become conscious observers of life and watch the unfoldment a little more objectively.

Cheers to May and Taurus. Sleep in the morning or two, take a walk in the woods, go on a picnic, lay in the backyard, and enjoy the night coming.

Personally, we will be flying to Dublin on this earthy New Moon in Taurus. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be leading a merry band of yogis on an exploration of the Emerald Isle.

It is a perfect thing to do under a Taurus New Moon- hang out in nature, explore old ruins, absorb the energies of ancient myths, and visit a passage grave that dates back to 3000 BCE.

Whatever you do this month—- Enjoy and Savor.
