NEW MOON IN TA**US HOROSCOPE BY KELLY FROM PATHWAYS 2 HEALING ASTROLOGY
Hello everyone, on May 16th we have our annual new Moon in Ta**us. It is important to understand the difference between the new Moon and full Moon phases – when we have a full Moon it is an opposition between the Moon and the Sun, so they are in opposite signs. However, when we have a new Moon, they are in the same sign. With an opposition it is the closing of a cycle and there needs to be a compromise between the Sun and the Moon, they need to find a way to meet in the middle. That’s not true with a new Moon, the Sun and the Moon agree on the principles of that sign and these are the characteristics they are trying to bring forth, and so should we. With Ta**us you do hear a lot about finances, this is because having adequate resources leads to security and stability, it takes away the pressure so you can just enjoy your life. There is another layer here too in that Ta**us seeks pleasure and beauty in this world. When it comes to earth signs it’s all about taking a part of the lived experience on earth and immersing yourself in it. With Ta**us, it wants to feel joy. This is an essential part of feeling alive to Ta**us. Now of course everyone wants to experience joy but for Ta**us, joy is supposed to allow ease and relaxation into your life, that’s why having the resources you need to feel stable is so important, Ta**us doesn’t want you to stress about money and neither does this new Moon. Now this is happening at an interesting time because that’s kind of what is happening all over the world, but with Astrology timing is no coincidence. In some ways this new Moon can help to relieve the stress that we are feeling now. When we think about how the Sun, which is a guiding force in our lives, is symbolically coming together with the Moon, which represents our emotions and heart’s desires, it is telling us that finding pleasure and joy no matter how small in something that is real and tangible will go a long way to opening up new doors and moving us forward into a new era. When you really start to study the signs and their architypes you realize that Ta**us wants you to define wealth for yourself and not based on how others define it, so what you define as beautiful and what you define as pleasurable is up to you and you alone. This is what will allow you to feel that stability Ta**us is always craving.
Another aspect that will help bring all of this together is that the new Moon will be sextiling Jupiter. This allows for an easy flow of abundance between you and whatever it is you are seeking at this time. If you put any effort, any amount of work into opening a new door or starting a new chapter it will pay off, it might not happen immediately, but Ta**us is about planting seeds that will bring in the prosperity you need for a long time to come.
It’s no secret that we live in complicated times, and it’s not that this new Moon ends that era, it’s that we get a little break. How we use that break and what we do to allow joy into our lives is up to us. Beauty, pleasure and abundance are available with this new Moon as long as we are willing to give it time to grow.
