Taurus Season is in Bloom with a Potentially Fertile New Moon in Taurus

 

Taurus season is about to get a lot more busy.  We still have the Sun, Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus and Venus entered Taurus on April 29.  On that day I posted:

Venus enters its happy place in Taurus today. Love becomes more grounded, nurturing and sensual. Commitment is more appealing and finances can improve. #astrology

And we have a Super New Moon in 18 degrees of Taurus coming up on May 7.  But before that, on May 3, we have Mars in Aries sextiling Pluto in 2 degrees of Aquarius.  Pluto just stationed retrograde on May 2.  How is Mars in Aries (its home sign, where it is strong, by the way) sextiling Pluto in Aquarius going to play out? Mars in Aries will provide us with the courage and energy to get rid of what isn't working in our lives so that we can move forward and transform.  Mars in Aries will also add a sense of urgency to the matter and set the stage for the New Moon in Taurus.

The New Moon in Taurus features five planets in Taurus: the Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus.  New Moons are a perfect time to set new intentions and plant the seeds for a fresh start.  The themes associated with Taurus include safety, security, stability and values.  It is a very sensual sign to boot because it is ruled by Venus.  The New Moon in 18 degrees of Taurus will also activate the recent Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in 21 degrees of Taurus that occurred on April 20.  If you didn't experience any sudden changes or expansion on that day, rest assured that this New Moon will reactivate that energy. The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction kicked off a whole new cycle which will be in play for some time.  So the promise of freedom and growth in our lives is alive and well.  This New Moon is inviting us to plant the seeds for our intentions to take root and manifest.

The New Moon in 18 degrees of Taurus is making some promising aspects.  It is trining Ceres in 21 degrees of Capricorn.  Ceres is the dwarf planet associated with nurturing, motherhood, fertility and agriculture.  With both the Sun and Moon in an extremely favorable aspect to Ceres, we have an opportunity to make some real progress in these areas of life.  If you are trying to conceive or develop alternative food sources, this is a cosmic green light.

Saturn in 17 degrees of Pisces is also featured prominently in the astrological landscape of this New Moon.  The New Moon in 18 degrees of Taurus is forming a supportive sextile to Saturn, which bodes well for creating stable foundations in our lives.  I always appreciate it when Saturn is cooperating with lunar phases and the planets in general.

Mercury in Aries is conjunct Chiron in 21 degrees of Aries on the New Moon too. The aspect is exact on May 6, but we will still be feeling its influence on the New Moon. This represents an opportunity to dig deep into our wounds and listen to our feelings so that we can identify where we self-sabotage.  A conjunction in Aries gives us the courage to be vulnerable and heal those wounds.

I have no doubt that May will be a very active month astrologically that reinforces the theme of endings and beginnings but I also sense that there is more hope and less trauma involved than the months of March and April.

On a personal level, this New Moon is opposing my Sun in Scorpio in my 2nd house and my progressed Sun enters the sign of Aquarius on May 3.  I am quite relieved that it is finally leaving Capricorn, no offense to any of my Capricorn readers.  I am just looking forward to being able to embrace the freedom and originality of my personality.  It is very liberating to leave Saturn's influence behind and welcome Uranus into the next chapter of my life.

The month of May also features Jupiter moving into Gemini.  I know most of us are still processing the effects of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Taurus, but if you would like a sneak peek at how Jupiter in Gemini will play out for you, I encourage you to read my latest article on Jupiter in Gemini at:https://

The coronavirus outbreak caused me to increase the number of distant Reiki sessions I do because people were concerned about the spread of the infection. I have decided to suspend my in-person Reiki sessions until further notice, so all of my Reiki sessions will be distant Reiki sessions for the foreseeable future. But a distant Reiki session is the perfect opportunity to safely build up your immune system and if you have contracted coronavirus, you can be treated safely from the comfort of your home. My procedure is to have a conversation with a client about what they hope to achieve from a session, we set up a time for the session to take place when they will be in a state to receive healing energy and I follow up with a telephone conversation to discuss their experience and my perception of their blockages. I do miss seeing my clients, so I am now offering Zoom consultations/intakes before the session so that we can see each other. I have also incorporated a new technique with my distance Reiki treatments since I don’t always have a photo of my client.  I use a teddy bear so that I can scan and focus the healing energy where it is needed. If this appeals to you, please feel free to contact me by email at lindasim54@gmail.com or call me at 617-304-2205. The cost for distance Reiki sessions is based on a sliding scale of $30 -$50. For your convenience, I accept Venmo and Zelle for payment. Zelle payments can be sent using my telephone number

617-304-2205. I have also written an article about distance Reiki, which is available at:

I urge everyone to engage in massive amounts of self-care and follow the protective measures of washing your hands frequently, avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth, wearing a face mask when necessary and staying home if you are sick. And get a vaccine. The newest vaccine is available and I encourage you to get it to protect yourself. I repeat, you do not want to get this virus! I speak from personal experience and consider myself very fortunate to have survived Coronavirus twice. Stay safe and healthy, everyone!
