New Moon in Taurus is a great time to cleanse and purge your closets. The bull loves when you smooth out the edges of your life to make way for more luxurious items and choices. What better action is there then to give away that which you no longer need? Go for it! Purge and rejoice in the lightening up! A positive trine of flowing energy from the alchemist Pluto makes this a perfect time to cleanse and clear. Just be sure to take time to really evaluate your choices Sometimes Pluto can get you going so much that you potlatch the whole house. Know when enough is enough! Saturn’s quincunx in agreeable Libra to this lunar event, leaves you queasy and uneasy. Watch out for food poisoning and other pollutants. It all depends which sector of your chart this takes place in. This points to where the cloudiness and indigestibility lay. Not all is negative. There is a great possibility fo material and financial gain afoot.

May 11, Mars saunters into Taurus. The bull’s earthy domain slows down the fiery warrior. This is no time to be assertive. It just won’t work. Sit back, relax and work on being attractive. Spend the aggressive energy rewriting your resume and reorganizing your file cabinet. In relationships be truthful and straight forward. This combination is a grand set up for passive aggressive behavior. Mind your manners but please do say what you really mean. During this transit, be Zen: Chop wood, carry water. It is always a help to know where in your chart this applies. Ask for this specifically this month as a “quick question” and receive thirty minutes for the price of fifteen!

Also on May 11, big blurting happens on the subject of what you have been up to in secret with Venus and Mercury conjunct Jupiter. Careful with the details! Recent contacts pan out with dates filling up in your planner. Go to the afternoon soirees  


This alignment of the planets of love, intellect and expansion sparks bright ideas, romantic impulses and social engagements. Stimulating conversations ignite big plans that will require more careful research before we can be sure of their viability. It's easy to become enthusiastic with new people and social situations and quickly cook up inventive recipes for fun. Joy flows easily as clever words sound witty, brilliant and completely original but they will need the fuel of commitment for these sparks to catch hold and keep burning after the initial excitement fades.

A few days later on May 15, Venus is drawn into Taurus and beckons you to enjoy the simple pleasures of your life. Look around at all you have created and be thankful! Stay home and enjoy what you have! I have told you about how gratitude for that which you have that you want more of is the key to manifesting it. Now apply it to yourself! Look at your personal qualities and attributes and be grateful. This cultivates more. The gentle petals of new relationships begin to ease open and the promise of a long healthy future unfolds.

Mercury joins the rest of the personal planet crew in Taurus May15 heralding a colorful opening to the second half of this lunar month. The earth and air signs in your life require realistic facts and figures to be able to process information. Keep this in mind if you are an inspired fire sign or an abstract water thinker.

May 17 the Moon is Full in Scorpio creating a passageway to the inner sanctum of your psyche. Your dreams hold keys and solutions for the reevaluation which churns in your day thought. For those of you who practice meditation, you have the opportunity to see colors and light. For those of you caught in more base feelings, there is the possibility to tangle and wrestle with fear and desire. Scorpio proves his reputation for a reason more as a script for the planets then a personality meter for those born under the sign. The Full Moon is an accelerator of the engine which drives the emotional body. That which we are in awareness of is easier to digest and process. Take time to know yourself by setting aside opportunity for meditation. This cultivates self love and appreciation through your knowingness that you are a divine light.

The Sun glides into the colorful sign of Gemini May 21 inviting you to lighten up. Gemini reminds us that there are many possible paths to reach our destination. None is more correct than the other. All come with varying degrees of challenge and possible gifts. The sign of the twins is a reminder to be flexible. Rather than being a judge, be an interpreter. The stymied communication of the last two weeks now flows sweetly like a river of chocolate. Be sure to evaluate the sweet words of others so as to determine if they are truth or overly sugarcoated.  

This Taurus New Moon gives you the opportunity to play through your inner child. Be gentle and loving with yourself and remember to practice stillness. In the silent peace of your meditations, the answers are waiting for you.

I am here to read the roadmap which the divine spheres have laid out for you. Call me for a consultation and remember that this month I am offering you 30 minutes for the price of “One Quick Question.” Keep looking up. The stars are here to guide you!”
