As we move into May, the gentle energy of Taurus helps us slow down and integrate the challenging work we did in April. Spring is finally here.
Juliana McCarthy writes (via Ethereal Culture):
We begin May on the heels of a challenging and transformative month. April brought us to our knees, helping us surrender and face our dark corners. Now, we’ve cleared the way for gentler Taurean energies, which are gracing us at the start of the month, supporting us in relaxing and integrating April’s intensity.
In the Northern Hemisphere, spring is in full effect. The Bull is helping us slow down and connect with nature and genuine self-care. It’s a little respite before the earth begins to rumble mid-May—when Uranus moves into Taurus for the first time since 1934. This is one of the year’s most significant transits. It’s set to bring about a major shift in the collective consciousness, along with innovations around money, farming, sustainability, design, and shared values. Taurus rules the earth, and Mother Earth is increasing her volume, forcing us to course-correct so we can better sustain ourselves and the natural world.
TAURUS NEW MOON
After a relatively calm two weeks, the first major transit of May arrives mid-month. On May 15, a Taurus New Moon coincides with Uranus’ shift into the same sign. The planets are offering a brilliant moment for manifestation—for setting intentions for the long-term future around where we would like to be in all aspects of our lives. We could now ask:
What kinds of relationships, home, community, and career would most feed our hearts?
Uranus is prepared to elicit breakthroughs, shattering ruts that have been holding us back from authenticity and our true life-path. Insights and awakenings abound, seemingly out of nowhere. We can make best use of this time by consciously releasing security blankets and expectations—leaping outside normative boxes to pursue our passions that also serve humanity.
