Jupiter into Pisces | 2021 through 2022 - more compassion, connection and forgiveness, emotional healing, santa claus gets back to the north pole, this unstoppable movement toward a more detached future begins some much needed unraveling

 

On May 13th, 2021 at 6:36PM EDT, for the first time since 2010, expansive/lucky/confident Jupiter enters magical, mystical Pisces!

 

Jupiter's role is expansion; to create the BIG PICTURE. 

 

Jupiter is huge, but not solid. He grows whatever he comes in contact with, then, through contact with the other planets, this unchecked growth gets form/structure/limits. 

 

Considered the greater benefic (as Zeus he was king of the Gods), he promotes abundance, wisdom, our ability to stretch outside our comfort zone. As ruler of the South Node, his move into Pisces will change our current circumstances and the way we are releasing/letting go of the past.

There is ALOT of good news here AND a few caveats/buyer-beware notifications. 

 

As the ancient ruler of Pisces (before the discovery of Neptune), Jupiter is uber comfortable/powerful in Pisces. That's good news. Leaving Aquarius detachment/logic for Piscean emotional attachment - takes Jupiter out of serious Saturn's domain for the first time in a COUPLE YEARS. Think, Santa Claus gets out of Scrooge's sweatshop and back to his merry band of elves. So, more good news. 

 

This is the planet of expansion/luck/that greener grass over there in the sign of unlimited magic/unlimited everything. 

 

Sound good?! You bet!!!

 

We just want to keep in mind the nebulous nature of Jupiter/Pisces/magic. The whole 'not counting our chickens before they're hatched' thing will apply for the next few weeks. Not everything that flows in (between now and June 20th) will be quite as big/good as it seems. 

 

Sometimes with Jupiter things get too big to get finished. We can get overwhelmed. If more is good, then even more is better ... until it isn't. Things can grow in unintended ways. Taurus season will keep some of this in check, but Gemini season will be here soon (and Taurus ruler, Venus, is already in Gemini) and this 'more, more, more' thing can really escalate.

 

Still, after two years with our expansive planet of 'hope and luck' answering to sober/stingy Saturn, having Jupiter in his old stomping ground, even for just a few weeks, has to be a good thing!

With Jupiter in Pisces - our Piscean spaces will EXPAND. Our intuition INCREASES. We are more able to feel/offer compassion and forgiveness. Our ability to connect with those around us increases. Those hard edges we have developed in logical/detached Aquarius will soften/our borders relax. 

 

Dreamers will dream BIGGER. Escapists will run FARTHER. Victims and martyrs will play out some endless saga we will all have to hear about. Saviors will march into action. Seekers will look within - the gold mined here now will be HUGE. Artists will make MORE and better art. Drifters may drift a little more/or alot more off-course. 

 

Our Pisces natal house, where our boat is only lightly tethered to the dock anyway could be pulled out to sea ... and maybe this could get us into real trouble or maybe this is just what we need right now. And probably both is happening at the same time.

Big picture - Jupiter in Pisces will show us our need for emotional healing. We are a burned out species, largely unaware of how the past is impacting our present. The Cappy self-destruct button/end-game, the Aquarius rescue plan - has been exhausting. We need the masculine Aqua detachment/over-thinking/logic to move into the more receptive/feminine mutable waters of Pisces. This unstoppable movement toward 'progress, the future, tech titans and 'trust the science' will dissolve a bit now as our boundaries loosen, we move a little closer, check each other's pulses, connect/offer compassion/love. Feel instead of think.

 

See what expands in your life. 

 

We get a little preview until June 20th when Jupiter stations retrograde and the expansion will retract/there will be some kind of reality check. We'll be back in Aquarius in a New York minute (end of July until the end of the year), older and wiser, so let's enjoy this. 

Here is a quick look at the signs. If you know the house in your natal and progressed charts of 0-2 degrees Pisces, check by house, otherwise check by rising sign and you can always pull your Sun into the first house and check your Sun sign. Aries applies to Aries, of course, but is also the collective influence. You are probably already feeling this ....

ARIES | Aries Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 12th house - this is happening in your 12th house of what is hidden or put away or done behind the scenes, art, music, relaxation, meditation, water, compassion, forgiveness, secrets, the ethereal realms, imagination, hospitals, spirituality, addiction, healing. Something here EXPANDS. Your intuition increases. Your dreams get bigger. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE.

TAURUS | Taurus Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 11th house - this is happening in your 11th house of the collective - your friendships, your tribe, groups, causes, the internet, the public, the goals that bring you into relationship with other people, your advancement, technology. Something here EXPANDS. Your confidence/optimism in social situations grows. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE.

GEMINI | Gemini Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 10th house - this is happening in your 10th house of your career, your calling, your achievements, goals, your father/paternal story, business, authority, responsibility. Something here EXPANDS. This could be about a change of career, recognition or the beginning of a dream/the confidence to explore something in a bigger way. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE.

CANCER | Cancer Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 9th house - this is happening in your 9th house of travel, higher education, weddings, politics, legal issues, the media, publishing, foreigners, everything outside your comfort zone, exploration, your beliefs and higher thinking. Something here EXPANDS. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE. This is Jupiter's natural house, so should be a good thing!

 

LEO | Leo Rising, 0 degrees Pisces, 8th house - this is happening in your 8th house of other people's resources, other people's values, intimacy, other people's money, spouse's income, loans, debts, taxes, inheritance, death, rebirth, sex, reproduction. Something here EXPANDS. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE. 

VIRGO | Virgo Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 7th house - this is happening in your 7th house of partners and partnerships. Something here EXPANDS. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE. A new/idealistic person could enter your life or a partner could become more dreamy/soften. You will experience Jupiter in Pisces through your relationships/other people. This could speak of the ending of a relationship in which case it probably wouldn't be a sudden break, but more of a drifting apart. Maybe partnership limits soften as one or both partners desire more freedom. Worst case a partner takes this Pisces magical energy too far/checks out. Best case the relationship grows in optimism/faith.

LIBRA | Libra Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 6th house - this is happening in your 6th house of your day-to-day activities, your routine, work, co-workers, pets and your health. Something here EXPANDS. Take care of your health. This house can get tricky, so you want to keep things in balance/avoid burnout/growing the wrong things. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE. 

SCORPIO | Scorpio Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 5th house - this is happening in your 5th house of creative projects, your self-expression, what you give birth to, children, romance and recreation. Something here EXPANDS. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE.  Enjoy this one Scorpio!

SAGITTARIUS | Sagittarius Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 4th house - this is happening in your 4th house of home, family, your roots, mother, mothering, your ancestry, real estate, renovation or a home business. Something here EXPANDS. Jupiter is your ruler, so you will feel this one - his move from fixed air to mutable water. With the South Node in Sag and Pisces ruling endings, something from the past could come back around for healing.

CAPRICORN | Capricorn Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 3rd house - this is happening in your 3rd house of communication, information, writing, siblings, transportation or your local neighborhood. Something here EXPANDS. Jupiter's move from over-thinking Aqua into 'live and let live' Pisces can help you settle your over-active mind by expanding your optimism/faith. Your mental health or communication could become a top priority under this transit and you will find ways to improve it. A good transit to learn something new, write, talk, grow in your local environment.

AQUARIUS | Aquarius Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 2nd house - this is happening in your 2nd house of your money, your values, your resources and self-esteem. Something here EXPANDS. This transit can increase your income/expenses which can be a good thing or maybe not, so keep an eye on the bottom line Aqua and focus on increasing what you really value/need/want to keep.

 

PISCES | Pisces Rising, 0 degrees Pisces 1st house - this is YOUR TRANSIT Pisces and is happening in your 1st house of yourself. Faith. Luck. Confidence. The desire for MORE. You can physically take up more space during this transit/stand taller/get noticed (just watch that one donut doesn't turn into the whole dozen). Just keep the more, more, more thing in balance and know this is a sneak peak of what you can expand during the first half of 2022. Life is good Pisces!

 

With Jupiter ruling the South Node of what is ripe for release and Pisces connecting us back to our ancestors/past-lives, some things will only make sense intuitively and that is OK/how it should be now. We are going to feel our way through this one. With Jupiter in Pisces opposing our Virgo planets, we want to watch for excesses that impact our work/health/day-to-day/pets.

 

For everyone, note Jupiter is just getting his big toe wet in Pisces in 2021. He will reach 2 degrees Pisces, stop, station retrograde on June 20th and start backtracking. He will be back in Aquarius by July 28th to finish up there and then back in Pisces at the end of December to plow through the rest of the sign through May 2022.  

So, from now until June 20th we get a preview of this energy/a chance to learn how to work with it. If things expand we are not so happy with, we will have a chance to re-structure/re-vise before he comes blasting back here at the end of the year. If things expand nicely - greater optimism/connection/relaxation maybe - just know we have six more months of Jupiter in Aquarius to finish up later in the year. Don't count those chickens just yet! But, DO allow yourself to feel/explore this new growth/hope. We'll talk more about this transit as we move through it.

Today's Astrology Forecast | Tuesday, May 11th, 2021 - New Moon in taurus, detaching from mommy/nurturing/food issues, keeping a cool head, focusing on the future

 c

 

This is the day the Taurus Moon meets the Sun (2:59PM EDT) and sextiles Neptune (5:26PM EDT). We talked about the New Moon HERE.

This is also the day Mars, at 11 degrees Cancer, squares Chiron and sextiles Uranus.

 

With Mars in Cancer and the Sun/Moon in Taurus, we want to be comfortable/nurtured. 

 

As Mars moves into his square with hurting/healing Chiron wounds from the past are reactivated. Old times we weren't safe/comfortable/nurtured/fed will be stirred up by new situations/encounters. 

 

With Chiron in Aries, the situation might be something about trying to care for/protect someone that doesn't want our care or maybe we are wanting someone to take care of us in ways we need to be providing to ourselves now.

 

With the Sun/Moon on Black Moon Lilith, old memories of being cast out/not fitting in can surface. Our actions will probably revolve around staying safe and the ways we 'stay safe' via Chiron's journey through independent Aries are changing. We are all grown up now. Do we really need mommy or a seat at the cool kids table? No one had the perfect mother/nurturing. No one had the 'cool kid' table security, not even the cool kids.

 

Mars/Chiron here can also energize old familial anger, and with Mars in Cancer, it might come out in passive-aggressive or unhealthy ways. Notice when you are triggered - feelings are out of proportion to the situation - know this is activating an old story (likely through our maternal heritage) that you may or may not remember, but are still carrying. Emotional wounds are ONLY incomplete cycles of experience. Nothing more. Nothing less. If something, again that is out of proportion to the situation at hand, is producing anxiety know this thing you are fearing HAS ALREADY HAPPENED.

Mars sextile (opportunity) with Uranus speaks of a way through the pain. 

 

Focus on the future. Detach emotionally from the situation - step back, use logic. Note - this isn't about running away, but fight or flight aren't really our only two options. Do something else. Uranus in Taurus is changing our values/the ways we acquire and hold onto the things we need. This is tricky stuff, but something to keep in mind. We might be fighting to hold onto stuff we don't even want/need anymore.

Take care of yourself. Eat foods that came from the earth. Take care of your gut/digestion.

 

Gabor Mate has many youtube videos about detaching from emotional triggers that might help if you are especially activated now.

Breathe deeply into your precious life on this beautiful planet. Let the New Moon work her magic.

Weekly Astrology Forecast for Creatives | Week of May 10th - May 16th, 2021 - important information & conversations about our future, uncomfortable action in a new direction, healing generational wounds, New Moon, something firms up, requires some give and take

 

 

This is a BIG week with alot going on. 

 

Pay attention to news/information/conversations that point you in a new direction or might open a new door (this might have already happened, but is exact on Monday). We will be dealing with some very old wounds this week - let's not be careless with ourselves or other people now - we are all dealing with generations and generations of procrastinated rubbish. 

 

There's a powerful New Moon (we talked about her HERE) and the Sun will sextile Neptune (opportunity) at the same time Jupiter comes home to Pisces (expect a BIG post). 

 

What a week! 

 

Mercury and Mars are big players this week. They are personal planets, so this is playing out in our personal lives as well as the collective. Mercury meets the North Node - the information/conversation comes in that leans us toward the future, PAY ATTENTION, also there is something healing here, maybe around our ability to take care of ourselves/be ourselves. Next Mars (as us), maybe based on the information, conversation, idea, needs to take uncomfortable action that is future focused/liberating/maybe around a values/resources/financial situation. Then Mercury trines Saturn, so news comes in/or maybe a conversation with authority firms things up or limits our choices in a way that is a stabilizing/focusing thing. Finally, Mars inconjuncts Saturn, so some kind of give-and-take/rock and hard place with whatever this 'new' is. Something will play out kind of like this, but whether it is an important something or not so much for you, will depend on your natal and progressed charts' relationships to these aspects.

Know I am writing about aspects when they are most exact - you might feel them strongest as they are applying (earlier) or even waning (a bit later) depending on how they are interacting with your chart!

 

MONDAY - MERCURY CONJUNCTS NORTH NODE | Gemini, 10 degrees | MERCURY SEXTILES CHIRON | Gemini/Aries, 10 degrees

Mercury, at 10 degrees meets up with the North Node of Fate. With Mercury, strong and stable in his/her home sign, conjunct the North Node information could come in/a comversation happens that points us in a new direction (or confirms our course). Maybe it draws our attention to something we need to follow-up on. PAY ATTENTION. Be out and about. Talk/keep things light. There could be more than one idea/more than one offer/more than one way forward here. Note in two days Mercury is going to meet up with Saturn in a smooth aspect, so this might be when something firms up or a conversation with authority happens. This could also be when today's choices get limited (the limiting will be a good thing). At the same time, Mercury is sextiling Chiron, so this will all likely be part of the same thing - news/information/conversations/words (this can also be about a local community, sibling, transportation or tech issue) are healing very old wounds. We can feel better about our vulnerabilities.

 

TUESDAY - MARS SQUARES CHIRON | Cancer/Aries, 11 degrees | MARS SEXTILES URANUS | Cancer/Taurus, 11 degrees | NEW MOON IN TAURUS, 21 degrees

This is the day of our big NEW MOON - the post is HERE. This is also the day, and this is, of course, part of the New Moon's story - Mars in Cancer squares Chiron at 11 degrees Aries at the same time sextiling Uranus at 11 degrees Taurus. 

 

So, maybe here is where, although quite uncomfortable for us with Mars in sensitive Cancer, we need to stand up for ourselves/be ourselves/do it ourselves in order to break free of constraints/fixed situations or in order to create new financial opportunities for ourselves/our family. Happening at the time of a powerful New Moon in stabilizing Taurus conjunct independent Black Moon Lilith will help, but can also activate feelings of being like an outcast/not fitting in. This might be about the need for us to take new/uncomfortable action about the news/conversation/information from yesterday. 

 

Mars/Chiron here can also energize old anger, and with Mars in Cancer, it might come out in passive-aggressive or unhealthy ways. Notice when you are triggered - feelings are out of proportion to the situation - know this is activating an old story (likely maternal) that you may or may not remember, but are still carrying. Emotional wounds are ONLY incomplete cycles of experience. Nothing more. Nothing less. If something, again that is out of proportion to the situation at hand, is producing anxiety know this thing you are actually fearing HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. Take care of yourself. Take new or liberating action. Breathe.

WEDNESDAY - MERCURY TRINES SATURN | Gemini/Aquarius, 13 degrees

 

Mercury at 13 degrees Gemini  - yes, at 13 degrees already, he's in his home signs and he's flying! He will station retrograde here later in the month and we get to do this Merc/Gemini thing all over again (this will be our only pass over 13 degrees though) - trines Saturn at 13 degrees Aquarius. Here are quick and smart conversations/words/ideas in smooth flow with authority/the future. Mercury in Gemini can have us all over the place, but here is a nice trine to settle us down/maybe limit our choices in a way that makes things easier. This can also be some kind of official confirmation of what Mercury/North Node earlier in the week brought to our attention.

THURSDAY - SUN SEXTILES NEPTUNE | Taurus/Pisces, 22 degrees| JUPITER INTO PISCES!!!

The Sun sextiles Neptune on the day Jupiter moves into Neptune ruled Pisces. The Sun sextile Neptune shines a light on a dream/ancestral story-line (likely through father's lineage). Our intuition is strong. Fixed earth and mutable water =  making the dream real. Neptune in Pisces has been showing us how we numb out, escape, dream our life away, avoid reality. Also how to create through our imagination, love without boundaries, connect with others, connect with our ancestors/higher power/God. Neptune in connection with earthy Taurus brings repressed/ancestral emotions into our consciousness/into our physical bodies and lives. The Sun sextile Neptune as Jupiter starts his journey through Pisces is a good thing - good for manifesting a dream/something that requires us to unlimit our thinking using a practical/solid process.

 

Expansive/hopeful Jupiter, finally getting out from under the thumb (at least temporarily) of serious-as-a-heart-attack Saturn, moves (until mid-summer) into Pisces - his ancient rulership where he, too, is very strong - for a preview of next year's journey. Expect a BIG post!

 

FRIDAY - MARS INCONJUNCTS SATURN | Cancer/Aquarius, 13 degrees

Mars, at 13 degrees Cancer, inconjuncts Saturn at 13 degrees Aquarius. Here is where our individual efforts, maybe centered on home/family/renovation/home or family business/mom/mothering are at odds with the group/the rules/the future. This is a rock and hard place. Pushing just ensures we hit a brick wall. Adjustments are needed. Re-calibrate. This can also be something about Cancer's tendency toward possessiveness coming up against Aqua's detachment/need for freedom. Cancer, may be emotional, but the mama-bear energy is also able to make hard choices/tough decisions which can bring out the intelligence/logic of Aquarius (maybe one way to make this work?).

the astrology of the New Moon in Taurus | May 11th, 2021 - building the new earth

 

 

On Tuesday, May 11th, 2021 at 2:59PM EDT, the Taurus Moon meets the Taurus Sun at 21 degrees giving us this month's New Moon - our annual New Moon in Taurus. 

As with all New Moons, the skies are dark. It is the time of beginning. The seed goes into the ground. The sperm goes into the egg. The idea goes onto the paper. The nail into the wood. And specifically this is a Taurus New Moon, so collectively about a fresh start with our values, our self-esteem, our finances, our resources, our earned income. 

 

Taurus likes comfort and ease and stopping to smell the roses. But this energy isn't about being lazy. This is about our ability to savor. And to put down roots. The New Moon in Taurus always makes me think about stewardship - the responsible care we take of ourselves, our families, our businesses, our planet.

Let's unpack the chart!

The Moon is conjunct the Sun at 21 degrees Taurus. This trines the 'time ran out' mega-planetary merger back in January 2020. She is sextiling Neptune (in Pisces) and trining Pluto (in Capricorn). She squares the midpoint of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius. She inconjuncts Juno (in Sagittarius) EXACT. She sextiles Pallas (in Pisces) and conjuncts Black Moon Lilith. The ruler of this lunation is Venus. She is at 3 degrees Gemini answering to Mercury (also in Gemini and conjunct the North Node). Mars is sextile Uranus EXACT.

The Moon/Sun are trining Pluto - brakes off - this is about inhaling authority, making adult decisions - being EMPOWERED, knowing our own value because we are talking about a trine to Taurus, and not being afraid of empowering others (understanding this doesn't really cost us anything, there is no dearth of abundance on this planet) and this all just happening rather effortlessly as we step into our own shoes/boots- covered in top soil as they are. With Pluto retrograde, this speaks of past inheritances/resources owed. Old mergers and intimacies. "Re"production. Pluto rules what we do in the dark and what we've been encouraged, through culture, to keep hidden. With Pluto in our Cappy house of career/goals/achievement, this New Moon is good for solid, long-term growth here from anything started over the next two weeks.

The Sun and Moon are sextiling Neptune. This is applying - the Moon moves into her exact sextile within hours, the Sun on Thursday which is also the day Jupiter moves into Pisces and starts answering to Neptune! Fixed earth and mutable water. Making the dream real. Neptune in Pisces has been showing us - for years - how we numb out, escape, dream our life away, avoid reality. Also how to create through our imagination, love without boundaries, connect with others, connect with our ancestors/higher power/God. Neptune in connection with earthy Taurus brings repressed/ancestral emotions into our consciousness/into our physical bodies and lives. Neptune rules our collective 12th house of 'what is behind us'. We are formed from everything/everyone that has come before us, but from our perch in the first house, we can't see behind us. But we can feel/sense what is back there. So now, the stuff back there is touching our physical life. Mystical experiences are possible. The sextile is an opportunity to either ground the past in the present or release the past through the present. There is healing here - opportunities through our creativity/art/music/spirit. Taurus/Pisces also speaks about security/comfort through escape/relaxation.

 

There is something at this New Moon, contacting both a retrograde Pluto and Neptune in his home sign, about the re-owning/re-claiming of our old ancestral stories. And other storylines that have outgrown their usefulness will come to our attention eager for release.

The New Moon is squaring the Aqua midpoint between Saturn and Jupiter. Our responsibilities to the group/the future. Some tension/frustration with limits/rules/authority built into this new beginning or maybe the new beginning flows from these challenges. The square to Saturn is waning and the square to Jupiter not culminating until the Moon (and then Sun) get into Gemini with Jupiter in Pisces - so the fixed nature of this square will become more mutable/changeable - there will be more options later than we can see from under these dark skies.

The ruler of this lunation is Venus in Gemini - answering to Mercury in Gemini conjunct the North Node. Venus in Gemini is about sharing our ideas/thoughts. What we need/love/want is flexible/kept light because it is subject to change. The theme of duality is emphasized with Venus here - more than one way to value ourselves, own things, make/have money. Maybe more than one seed goes into the ground now. Multiple things may be starting. 

 

With Mercury conjunct the North Node of Fate (exact on MONDAY) information could come in/a conversation happens - that points us in a new direction, confirms our course or draws our focus to something we need to follow up with. PAY ATTENTION. Be out and about. Talk/keep things light. There could be more than one way forward here.

 

The Moon/Sun inconjuncts Juno. This is exact, so worth paying attention to. Juno is about our relationships/contracts (also the way we look the other way to preserve the status quo or our own status). After being a major player this past year as our relationships/partnerships bucked and swayed, she is in Sag now offering us more hope/optimism/greener pastures. Today, she is in a rock and a hard place with the New Moon. This is Sag vs Taurus. Sag energy is more easy come/easy go, able to take risks, money/resources want to circulate. Taurus is more cautious/holds down the fort, more about security and personal comfort, money/resources want to accumulate. So, some kind of give and take is needed here. Nobody really wins, but if handled correctly no one has to feel like they are totally losing either. Responsibility is actually a necessary partner to freedom. Adjust. 

The Moon's sextile to Pallas in Pisces speaks of smart decisions/choices made with our intuition/through ethereal connection/help from our ancestors/guides. This is separating so likely this decision has already been made/news already been dealt with. The Moon/Sun is conjunct Black Moon Lilith. This one is applying, so still to come. This is in Taurus, the lush garden from which BML was unceremoniously tossed. Something about us that has been abandoned/kicked out/called unacceptable is allowed/required to take root here, too. We can't grow whatever it is we are planting any other way than our own. 

 

Mars is exactly sextiling Uranus and the New Moon is just past her own conjunction to Uranus - so maybe something unexpected/sudden has come out. Possibly the day before the New Moon or maybe sometime quite a bit earlier depending on our relationship with Uranian energy. Now, at the New Moon, with Mars sextiling, here is an OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ACTION ON SOMETHING NEW. Mars is in home/family/security focused Cancer, so something about this could be driving our actions/decisions now. The New Moon in Taurus happening at the same time will give whatever this is more stability and staying power.  

 

Keep in mind everything is happening with Jupiter at the 29th degree of Aquarius, so something has been thought about/analyzed/detached from ENOUGH. Tired of facts and figures and logic, he (as we) will be in Pisces - his ancient kingdom - in just a couple days and can feel the pull of those warm, soothing, emotional waters. Also keep in mind, this New Moon ushers us into Eclipse season, culminating as it does in two weeks with the first Eclipse of 2021 - the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse - a total - in Sagittarius. So, here is kind of our last solid ground for a while. This isn't a good thing or a bad thing. It just is what it is. Some practical steps need to be taken.

 

As for the Moon herself, if we simply follow her story through Taurus we get a good overview of the New Moon story. 

 

The Moon sextiles Mars - our new storyline with its roots in home/family/mothering. She meets up with Uranus - here is the surprise/unexpected. So, yes, maybe what we thought was stable won't be quite so stable - but keep in mind - what we thought was impossible will not be quite so impossible either. This could indicate a heightened concern or attention to finances/resources/income or we might feel this as a desire to break free of constraints/fixed situations. The Moon squares Saturn - here is the tension/frustration with limits/group dynamics or responsibilities/authority. She meets the Sun - the new story officially begins, the seed goes into the ground. She inconjuncts Juno - the partnership/contract - the rock and a hard place, the circulation vs the accumulation, an adjustment. She sextiles Neptune - mystical experiences/ancestral timelines pulled into our physical life, the dream meets the practical tools to make it work. The Moon trines a retrograde Pluto - old karma/inheritances, merged finances and physical mergers - this is smooth energy, earthy, practical, no pushing will be necessary, empowerment through KNOWING OUR WORTH. Her final aspect a bigger-is-better/over-the-top square to Jupiter at the very, very edge of Aquarius (about to move into something less logical/detached and more emotionally connective). So, could the challenge presented by the Uranus "surprise", the Saturnian reality check and Juno's partnership/contract snafu be an OPPORTUNITY in disguise?! That's what it looks like!

And, keep in mind, Venus in dualistic Gemini (ruler of the Moon) - more than one answer/way forward, information that points us in a new direction, following up on leads, talking, listening, keeping things light, staying flexible and able to CHANGE OUR MIND.

This Moon looks like a keeper to me. 

 

This is the way we are building the New Earth, folks - one Moon, one month at a time. 

NEW MOON INTENTIONS 

This new moon in Taurus is an excellent time to begin a grounding practice, make affirmations and set intentions about Taurean ruled themes (especially the theme of your natal Taurus house): love, money, contentment with what we already have, patience, self-worth, releasing stubbornness, health issues regarding our neck, throat and voice in the world.

AFFIRMATION TIPS: get into a happy, contented frame of mind - HUG A TREE (she needs you, too!) - always make affirmations from a positive place, and both definitions of positive apply here - happy and certain. Write your affirmations down by hand in script, speak them out loud - then release your attention from these things knowing that your intention is known.  
 

Know these things are already yours.

Also remember affirmations are action -  they set the energy in motion and by working with the right things at the time of the New Moon we are literally creating the affirmation within the energy that is needed to bring our words to life.
 

Words are not just words and now we have Venus - ruler of the New Moon - in Gemini and answering to Mercury - the God of language whispering into the ears of the North Node of Fate, this makes our words even more powerful. 

If done properly, in the right frame of mind and heart-felt, our intentions line us up energetically with the thing we are seeking. 

In Taurus, the stuff we start now will stabilize us and pay off for us later.
