The New Moon in Taurus on May 11^th opens you to gratitude and abundance. As an Earth sign, Taurus symbolizes the plentitude, sustenance, bounty and beauty of Gaia as well as the five senses in which to experience her gifts. The sign of the Bull, of course, also rules over values, wealth and worth – the bullion- as well as consumption, consumerism, acquisition and accumulation.   

The past year or so has been a tough challenge for most people, on many levels, and while it’s easy to look at what’s wrong and what you don’t like or don’t want or don’t have. Instead, I’d like to put the focus on what you’re most thankful for as Taurus also rules over gratitude.

It’s no secret that the Universe operates on frequency levels and that one of the most important pieces to The Law of Attraction and Manifesting abundance is Gratitude. All Taurus themed areas. Whenever you have an experience that fills your cup of thanks, whatever it may be, the Universe responds and says, let’s give them more of that. So, let’s vibe it up during this cycle. Show the Universe what you desire by showing your appreciation.

This is also a favorable phase to get out into nature, do some grounding, gardening or Earthing. Hug a tree. Get some sunshine and Vitamin D. Plant a money tree for your comfort and security. Whatever is planted now promises to be productive and fruitful. 

The Sabian Symbol for this New Moon reads, “a white dove over troubled waters”, hinting to having faith, looking for hope, peace, and guidance while being able to read the signs, soothing your soul and turbulent emotions. 

Neptune in Pisces connects favorably with this New Moon creating a supernatural vibe of effortless ease and creative flow. Being near water can also be soothing and inspiring. 

The Taurus New Moon also connects favorably with Pluto in Capricorn, removing all obstacles and letting nothing hold you back. You’re able to build something up or to restructure something, perhaps a property or a business, producing substantial results. 

Mars in Cancer, Saturn in Aquarius, Uranus in Taurus and Chiron in Aries all have an engagement, enabling you to shift habitual responses and emotional triggers, behaving differently, with more detachment and maturity, entering into new territory. On another level, you could be working on a house or property that changes the value or worth. Perhaps it comes with unexpected expenses or gains, or irregular and inconsistent costs, payments and/or pricing. It may also be that there’s a shift in certain markets as needs, desires and desirability change due to changes in careers, businesses, boundaries, position or societal restrictions as a few examples.     

Just a couple days after the New Moon, Jupiter enters Pisces May 13, bringing a major shift in the energies and beginning a new twelve-year cycle. The last time Jupiter saw this slice of heaven was back in 2010. Think back to what you were up to then. Jupiter is at home in Pisces as it’s the ancient ruler before the discovery of Neptune. Jupiter can bring out the more elevated energies of Pisces, like imagination and intuition or can exaggerate some of the lower qualities, like addiction and victimization.   

Jupiter will dip into Pisces waters from May 13^th through the end of July, where he’ll backtrack into Aquarius skies again until the end of the year.  Jupiter re-enters Pisces just in time to kick off 2022. 

Jupiter in Pisces is a spiritual influence that brings a phase of development of your higher consciousness and a depth of understanding of your personal Truth. This period will help you to get in tune with your higher guidance and to find your faith when hidden truths are revealed. There may also be times of extreme emotions and overwhelm, where you feel everything deeply. You could be more compassionate, empathetic, selfless and generous. It’s a time when you could be visionary and imaginative, craving things like meditation, exploration, solitude, reflection and contemplation. Take time in nature and around water to ground, connect, daydream and recharge.

New Moon Blessings and Good Vibes to ALL!
