A week of roundabouts. Tomorrow a Taurus New Moon conjuncts the Sun. Lilith and Uranus are already in Taurus. Taurus is the earthiest of ALL the earth signs, it is the ground we walk on, Gaia - pulling us deep into the womb. The mother. Taurus is material, tangible, the physical - it is first focused on what it can ‘have’. What it can ‘hold’. This Moon is exploring themes of stability through relationships, finances and home comforts. Venus in Gemini is passing over the North Node also in Gemini, so we can express ourselves in obscure ways. Gemini’s dual nature here implies the process won’t be simple, and we will have to embrace poetic justice. Prepare the foundation, step out the process - the pendulum is swinging ridiculously, you don’t want it to hit you on your way. Lilith the dark angel, our raw, inner truth - is in Taurus until mid July. Self-indulgent at times, Lilith here can be super sensual but equally as moody. Often wallowing in misery - it can embody the sexual dynamism of this possessive and charming sign.
Therefore, this week we are privy to home luxuries, cooking for a lover, cuddling in bed, chatting on the phone for hours, running our fingers across our soulmates lips. Yet, still wanting more. Dreaming, having that nagging repetitive feeling of ‘not enough’ or ‘not now’. Closing our eyes and seeing it through may feel impossible. It’s no doubt, May is chaotic and it will really speed up after this week concludes - with Jupiter entering Pisces, Mercury entering its pre shadow phase in Gemini and of course - the karmic Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse getting ready to blow our socks off. The Gemini-Sagittarius transits with the North/South Node axis is transformative, balancing the right and left brain.
BUT, back to the impending situation at hand, the good ol’ Taurus Moon making a trine to Pluto in Capricorn and a sextile to Neptune in Pisces, both making some ideal aspects on this lunation. We can be extra creative, inventive and intentional. Potential for something wonderful gives a certain air to this Moon ~ as if otherworldly magic may just occur when you’re looking the right way. Everything that happens right now can be a reflection of where you’re at mentally - emotionally - spiritually.
“You are an essence
in a world of essences.
You burn,
like those around you burn,
with an energy called life.
Life reaches out to life,
essences sing to each other.
Your fire, your aliveness, is sustained
by your need to touch
and be touched.”
~Paul Williams
All my love,

Aries: March 21 - April 19
Don’t make too many statements right now, Aries. Things are changing rapidly in this Taurus weather, and overwhelming your attention span. There are some karmic dues to be repaid on the eve of the Taurus New Moon tomorrow, perhaps something as transactional as cash or business. Uranus is close to this Moon, ruling shock and surprise. Something you didn’t see coming is likely to manifest, and independence cannot be guaranteed until you come to deal with this. Interaction with lovers brings comfort, power and security - encourage them to feel the same in your presence.
Taurus: April 20 - May 20
Enjoy the days, Taurus. They have much to teach - especially this week as the New Moon in your sign conjuncts the Sun. It’s all about your 1st house of image, personality, reputation; but there’s more than just public relations to attend too. While you’ve got the time and people are extra charmed by your good graces, it may be wise to step back, wind down and refresh. When you reinstate personal boundaries, you are counted and seen amongst the ‘whole’. The energy is potent as the Moon harmonises with Pluto and Neptune, leading you down the garden path of inspiration. The squares to Jupiter and Saturn can feel a little controlling, manifesting into an ex flame, jealous partner or overbearing parent. In the name of the ‘New Moon’ game, be true to you and fuck everyone else.
Gemini: May 21 - June 20
You’re feeling a little reserved, Gemini. Which isn’t really like you - but the New Moon tomorrow in your 12th house enhances the need for peace. The occult, religious experiences, psychology and deep nostalgia are themes of the 12th house and they consume you now. But there’s more to this influence than meets the eye, after all the North Node is in your sign and the Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse is nearby. This axis point of opposites is much like a karmic duet, the story is cyclical and although the setting may be new, you find yourself highly clued in to how it will all unravel. There is a fresh start somewhere along the line here, hold onto hope.
Cancer: June 21 - July 22
Something rather constructive is going on in private, Cancer. You have been very confident about a path forward and it’s now paying dividends within your community. A circle of people who you are so delicately entwined with may feel karmic in nature now, and it’s not surprising the Taurus New Moon tomorrow meets Uranus in your 11th house of friendship merging two groups into one. You’re also genuinely affected by the South/North Node axis which will merge with the Lunar Eclipse later this month, mostly because you are the first and foremost moon maiden. Themes of belonging, contributing and supporting are majorly incorporated to your future goals and dreams, you have more power than you think.
Leo: July 23 - August 22
Take the emotion away from it, just for a moment, Leo. See what remains - is it authentic? Or even objective? While a part of you wishes to unravel for someone, another part is keeping tightly closed. You won't fall for this again. Communications and networking has a serious undertone- it’s no wonder when the Taurus New Moon shifts into your 10th house of ambition and career tomorrow. Merging with Uranus and aligning with Neptune, it’s easier to put faith in feeling than fact. Responsibilities may pile up but you’re determined to support the team and business in any way you can. The path forward may be a little disruptive, but it’s very exciting.
Virgo: August 23 - September 22
The Taurus New Moon helps you recognise the bigger picture, Virgo. Shifting into your 9th house of higher learning/foreign places, you acknowledge that a ‘problem’ area is just a bit of ego. Or past hurt. Apply what you learnt throughout the last 2 years to the ironic situation you find yourself in right now. This is a holiday from reality, and Uranus is pushing the ongoing ‘escape’ theme. Your ruler, Mercury is in Gemini preparing for it’s pre -shadow phase to begin late this week - so the quest to grow and learn through mental engagement is strong. You are walking unexplored territory, let it take you on an adventure.
Libra: September 23 - October 22
You feel spirited, Libra - the first time in a long time. It could be the speed of May, a new love, a change in career or a domestic upgrade - whichever way it falls, this week is inspiring you to do ‘more’. To move mountains. The Taurus New Moon tomorrow occurs in your mysterious 8th house and is conjunct with the Sun, helping you absorb more information than usual. The story begins with new faces and places, and takes you all the way up to an unusual mid-point. Don’t be surprised, Uranus the planet of shock is heavily engaged here and the universe is giving a cosmic nudge to all sorts of inspiring beginnings.
Scorpio: October 23 - November 21
Backwards, forwardS, at this point you’ve got no idea anymore, Scorpio. The Taurus energy is with you, looping you back into the karma cycle, especially tomorrow when the New Moon shifts into your romantic 7th house of commitment. It’s safe to say you shouldn’t assume now, because a wolf in sheep’s clothing could be near or maybe it’s a sheep and you’re blinded by past people’s failures. Judgement can be off and you can’t see clearly what’s there. Intimate relations are considered carefully, but you don’t forget to stay compassionate. A lover may be determined to start a new chapter together, as they know you’re in such high demand.
Sagittarius: November 22 - December 21
Unfinished business leaves things open in your mind, Sagittarius. This week is powerful for connection as you sort through some problems, and actually move forward instead of backward. The Taurus New Moon tomorrow merges with Uranus in your 6th house of routine and self-knowledge, refreshing the need for boundaries. Decompressing may be subtle but you seek privacy in which to do so. People feel your absence of course, and for you there is freedom in that. The sextile to Neptune in Pisces can bring about an unexpected adventure or road trip. Try to complete unfinished business - especially with a partner - Mercury retrograde is coming.
Capricorn: December 22 - January 19
You’re advancing rapidly, Capricorn. And a new horizon takes you some place far, far away - tomorrow when the Taurus New Moon shifts into your creative and affectionate 5th house of romance. Seeking to be of service to others is not unusual for you, but the manner in which you choose to do so is wildly changed. Unique self expression draws you in, and you process the emotional vortex life dwells in lately with relish. Venus and Mercury in Gemini are bringing the past to your present, finishing up old business. More than ever, in and through love, freedom remains a top priority. Your autonomy is devoted to the personal agenda.
Aquarius: January 20 - February 18
There is a nostalgic feeling pulling you down into the archive of family, Aquarius. Belonging, reconnecting, nesting and discovering are major themes today and tomorrow as the Taurus New Moon shifts into your 4th house of home. Developing/strengthening family (chosen family) relations are high on the list as they act like a safety net, holding you up when the world is bringing you down. An ongoing debate can be squashed now, but the ripples will remain until mid-June. Karma features strongly, but so does the love of those around you. Jupiter is leaving your sign on the 14th to enter Pisces, and will fine tune the importance of the 2nd house. Comfort and security are two of the same.
Pisces: February 19 - March 20
Magnetism is strong, Pisces. As is karmic presence in your everyday life - helping you understand the flashbacks you’ve been seeing/sensing. May is quite the month, and it’s really only just beginning, so breathe deep and look back on the metaphor trying to make itself known. Everything is affected - home, work, love. As Neptune in your sign makes a sextile to the Taurus New Moon tomorrow. Launching into your distinctive communicative 3rd house, helping you explore, educate and connect. A conversation may not be exactly obvious for now, but the endearing energies of this lunation, let you feel in your heart - what is not being shown. Life is an experiment, you'll feel that clearly over the coming weeks.
