May 2024 brings with it a mellow New Moon in Taurus and optimistic Full Moon in Sagittarius. What does this mean for us? What is a New Moon?
A New Moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact same position in the Zodiac (called a conjunction). New Moons are related to beginnings, have high energy, and are enthusiastic.
What is a Full Moon?
A Full Moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). Full Moons are related to endings, culminations, and are emotional energy.
New Moon in Taurus: May 7th 2024 (11:22PM ET/8:22PM PT)
The Taurus New Moon is often a time to relax, indulge, and take it easy. We're coming out of a high energy, intense, passionate period with the previous Moons, and this is time to pull back. We can take a break, chill out, and don't want to fill up every moment of our lives with something to do. It's a great time to be more present and reconnect with the here and now.
Taurus is a money ruler, so we can focus on opportunities to improve our financial situations and plan for the future. We can maximize resources we have, and get our hands on new resources. This can help improve stability and security in our lives, and as we improve stability and security, we can get more opportunities for money and resources. They feed into each other. When we take action with something, we can be slow and steady. We're not in a rush, and feel like everything will work out if we're focused and methodical. This might seem like we're not making any progress initially, but over time, it can prove to be pretty smart and put us on the right path. Our confidence can be high with the Taurus New Moon if we feel secure and take it easy. If we don't, we may become stubborn about something, and insecurity can lead to lashing out erratically. The New Moon is sextile (beneficial aspect, two signs away) transit (moving) Saturn in Pisces, and this brings disciplined energy to the New Moon, so while we may not have tons of energy and drive for taking the initiative and working hard, when we do take action, we can do so in a smart, disciplined, productive way. Every moment we put into work can be maximized, and we can feel focused when we get to it. The New Moon occurs at 18 degrees 2 minutes Taurus. The aspects to the New Moon are: Conjunction: 16 degrees 2 minutes - 20 degrees 2 minutes Taurus Sextile: 16 degrees 2 minutes - 20 degrees 2 minutes Cancer or Pisces Square: 16 degrees 2 minutes - 20 degrees 2 minutes Leo or Aquarius Trine: 16 degrees 2 minutes - 20 degrees 2 minutes Virgo or Capricorn Opposition: 16 degrees 2 minutes - 20 degrees 2 minutes Scorpio Full Moon in Sagittarius: May 23rd 2024 (9:53AM ET/6:53AM PT)
The Sagittarius Full Moon is a more optimistic Full Moon since Sagittarius is the happy sign. Full Moons tend to be emotional, but Sagittarius Full Moons don't want to dwell on that. So, we can be more positive with this Full Moon, and don't want to deal with anything too serious. We dealt with that last month, we want a break from it in May.
Sagittarius rules our beliefs, so we can be more passionate about what we believe in and stand up for ourselves and others. This can lead to fights if we don't keep an open mind though, and need to make sure we're listening properly. If we are, this can improve communications and we can feel more understood. Sagittarius is ruler of higher learning, so we can finish a course of study, and can be more passionate about learning, teaching, writing, and speaking. Sagittarius rules long-distance travel, so we can be on the move more, and may see more people traveling (especially by flight). Sagittarius is also ruler of the law, so we can see some important legal news with this Full Moon. The Full Moon is sextile transit Pluto in Aquarius, and this helps us control our passionate energy and maintain optimism. We can transform something for the better, and this can be something that excites us rather than something we're afraid to do. We can work on making strides with our dreams, especially if we get sidetracked in April. One odd note about this Full Moon: At the time it occurs, Venus and Jupiter will be anaretic in Taurus (and conjunct) and Neptune will be anaretic in Pisces. There are 30 degrees in every Zodiac sign and 29 degrees is the very last degree. This is called the anaretic degree, and is supercharged energy that can be a challenge with the transit planets like this. Venus conjunct Jupiter tends to be a happy aspect, but there can be some major developments regarding something financial or with resources in Taurus (might tie into the Taurus New Moon as well). Venus quickly moves to Gemini after the Full Moon occurs, so we're quick to focus on ideas, news, and plans with whatever passes. The Full Moon might make us more heated when we're debating, so we have to keep in mind proper communication. Especially with Neptune bringing the fog and trying to obscure! The Full Moon occurs at 2 degrees 55 minutes Sagittarius. Aspects to the Full Moon are: Conjunction: 0 degrees 55 minutes - 4 degrees 55 minutes Sagittarius Sextile: 0 degrees 55 minutes - 4 degrees 55 minutes Libra or Aquarius Square: 0 degrees 55 minutes - 4 degrees 55 minutes Virgo or Pisces Trine: 0 degrees 55 minutes - 4 degrees 55 minutes Aries or Leo Opposition: 0 degrees 55 minutes - 4 degrees 55 minutes Gemini Suggested Reading: The New & Full Moons page for general interpretations by house and aspect Comments are closed.
