Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of human love and pleasure. The restaurant, travel and leisure industries can get a welcomed boost of energy and a fresh new start at this time.

This particular Taurus New Moon is the gateway leading to a transformative ending in two weeks time at the Sagittarius Total Lunar Eclipse on May 26th. Notice what is falling away now. Significant endings must happen before the rebirth to come at the Annular Solar Eclipse on June 10th just before Solstice.

Taurus is an Earth sign. So, all things related to Earth wisdom are up for renewal.

Uranus continues his station in Taurus for several more years. Uranus is helping to revolutionize and bring about the changes needed in the new evolutionary cycle taking place. We are still in the early stages of the massive revolution set to take place on planet earth.

The Spring Tide forces of nature for regeneration and renewal are also at their peak. Much can suddenly transpire now.

These forces of renewal and regeneration will be focused primarily in all thing related to Taurus (2nd house) matters. Your 2nd house is getting re-energized now. The 2nd house is the zodiacal zone related to your personal finances/net worth and material possessions.

Your safety depends on the need for stability, which is not easy to satisfy now. You have to learn to accept change as part of your life.

The basic issue now is to find your own self-respect. Self respect ensures that you do not unwittingly seek security and stability in material things. When you know and accept yourself for who you are, it becomes much easier to find and enjoy peace and tranquility in the outside world.

The ways this energy can play out are varied, but a mundane example might be a time when you feel to get out in nature more and feel supported to do so. Maybe you get motivated to buy new camping gear and hiking equipment and make a point of spending more time in nature.

When Venus’ love energy is immature she can be jealous and possessive. Or, feel threatened that what she loves and holds dear is being supplanted, or replaced somehow with something that is new and foreign to her. Taurus can be a rather conservative and stubborn sign and resist change. Taurus zodiac symbol is the bull, the sign of Wall Street, so material comforts and possessions (things) are all important to Taurus.

As Uranus transits through Taurus the traditional meaning and the way our creature comforts look is going through major changes. Probably the ego mind’s fiercest battles are fought over perceived changes related to one’s material circumstances. Volatility in security and stability needs can bring up our greatest issues related to feeling vulnerable. We are in a Metal Ox (Bull) year. There are major challenges to creating the space necessary to make needed evolutionary changes to traditional sources for our pleasure and comforts.

Hopefully, we’ll see Real Promise of initiating the necessary changes that brings more harmony to the strained circumstances we’ve all been faced with since the COVID-19 Global Pandemic began in 2020.

We all need hope for better days ahead! The Taurus New Moon can deliver on this and bring new promise for brighter days ahead.

You’ll also want to look in your personal chart to find out which house the zodiac sign Taurus is located, as well as what house the planet Venus is located and what planets are located in your 2nd house. These are the areas of your life set for renewed promise.

The Taurus New Moon is for the most part well aspected. So, there’s lots of opportunity for growth and positive/auspicious new beginnings.

Though the Mars (energy/action) Square (cuts away things/calls for adjustments & changes) Chiron (original psychic wound) can bring challenges to seeing, accepting and initiating these new opportunities.

The Taurus New Moon meditation will help you make the most of the opportunities surfacing for you now and includes the best essential oils to use and an EO recipe (see below).
