On May 7, 2024, we will be experiencing a very favorable New Moon placement especially for those with planets either in conjunction or in opposition to this Taurus placement by no more than 3°. The energies of a New Moon signal a new beginning where we plant the seeds we want to grow in our garden of life. It is the beginning of something that you might have been working towards or the start of something brand new. Either way, it signals something new is ready to take its first steps.
This New Moon is in the sign of Taurus at 28° and will affect those with planets or one of the four angles from 25° of either Taurus or Scorpio to 1° of either Gemini or Sagittarius. These are the placements of the conjunction and opposition. Those with the square and sextile along with the trine may also experience a similar influence but likely not as powerful.
This is a
time to initiate something that will come to its fruition some six months down
the road when we are experiencing the full Moon in Taurus (November 15, 2024). The Full Moon in Taurus will be the harvest
of what has taken hold now and what you do during the next six months will tell
the story of how things look at that time. We must nurture seeds to bring them
to fruition.
In Taurus,
the new moon speaks about creating something that stands the test of time,
something that will build and grow and offer security on some level. This has something to do with reliability and
a steadfast approach. It is understood that it will take time to bring these
energies into fruition and at the same time, understood that it will take hard
work and a disciplined effort too. You
cannot become complacent and the effort you put forward is a direct indicator
of the results you will experience. If
you don’t work hard towards an end result, you will likely need to either
reevaluate or let go come the Taurus Full Moon.
The reason
behind this push for hard work is that these energies have potential and are
likely favorable. This is indicated by the placement of the New Moon which is
sextile to Mars and Neptune. Mars is in the early stages of Aries and Neptune
the late stages of Pisces. Mars has to
do with drive and ambition and is highly suggestive of the ability to really
push forward with your objectives. It is
like a relentless force pushing you towards your goals and opportunities that
are in front of you. Neptune has to do
with psychic perception and the potential of dreams becoming reality. This is a gentle force where love and
affection can be part of the picture, but insight is strong and a willingness
to serve a higher purpose is part of the picture. Together these indicators can assist in
moving ahead, and because of the sextile, there is a suggestion of
opportunities that are waiting but must be pursued if your wish is to make
things happen.
There is
also a trine from Transiting Pluto which is at the early degrees of Aquarius. Pluto
is all about transformations and an indication that something is ending and
that something new is on the horizon.
Pluto often suggests that there may have been power struggles and
challenging situations along the way, but the trine suggests that the energies
associated with this powerful force for change is in place and that it will
take some time for you to completely see where this energy takes you.
Know that
something must be left behind for something new to begin and there are no
halfway measures about what lies ahead.
The trine suggests easy flow and good fortune as well as opportunities
at hand but expect some difficulties along the way especially if you are
unwilling to let go of what has been in place previously.
Take
advantage of the energies at hand with this Taurus New Moon. Plant some seeds and nurture them.
