New/Black Moon in Taurus

General Predictions for the Black Moon/New Moon in Taurus:

On May the 19th, at 15:53 UT, the Moon meets the Sun, in Taurus, forming the New Moon. This is the third out of four New Moons in Spring (that is from the Spring Equinox until the Summer Solstice). Thus, this is a Black Moon. Furthermore, this Black Moon ends the influences of the Ecliptic Period.

During this waxing Moon period, two planets change their zodiac, and right from the start. Mars enters Leo, on the day after this Black Moon, the 20th of May. Then, the very next day, on the 21st, the Sun enters Gemini. Moreover, Saturn slows down significantly, as it will turn Retrograde on the eve of the next New Moon.

So, although the planetary scenery doesn’t change a lot, it changes quite significantly.

The inauspicious aspects of the Black Moon/New Moon:

Mars squares Jupiter. Accurately so, on the 23rd of May, when Jupiter will be in Taurus and Mars will be in Leo. The aspect, though, is active since the 26th of April, when Jupiter was in Aries, and Mars was in Cancer. The square will remain active until 18th of June. Amongst else, this square can bring some tension in international relationships. In a more personal level it can stress travelling and whatever has to do with other countries and people from other countries. It can also bring some extra challenges in business expansions and things like those.

Also, Mars, opposes Pluto. Accurately so on the 21st of May, when Mars will be in Leo and Pluto will be in Aquarius. The aspect, though, is active since the 4th of May, while Mars was still in Cancer. It will remain active until the 7th of June. Amongst else, this aspect can challenge our emotional and physical health. Being more careful and taking better care of our health are highly advisable.

Similarly, Venus, too, opposes Pluto. Accurately so, on the 5th of June, the day Venus enters Leo. Nonetheless, the aspect will be active from the 27th of May, while Venus is still in Cancer. It will remain active until the 16th of June. By then, Pluto will have returned into Capricorn. Amongst else, this aspect can further challenge our emotional condition. It can also bring some extra problems in our love relationships and friendships.

Also, Venus squares Jupiter. Accurately so, on the 11th of June. The aspect, though, will be active from the 31st of May and until the 27th of June. Amongst else, this aspect can challenge romance, friendships, business and money matters. Nonetheless, it also holds the potential for all of those areas of our lives to be improved, if we overcome those challenges.

The Sun squares Saturn. Accurately so on the 28th of May. The aspect will be active from the eve of this Black Moon and until the 8th of June. Amongst else, this aspect can stress our health, as well as our finances and work related issues.

Finally, Jupiter squares Pluto. Accurately so the 18th of May, when Jupiter was in Taurus and Pluto was Retrograde. The aspect, though, got activated on 6th of April, while Jupiter was still in Aries and Pluto was Direct. It will remain active until the 2nd of July. By then, Pluto, still Retrograde, will have returned in Capricorn, while Jupiter will be in Taurus.

Right now, as Jupiter is still in full speed, while Pluto has gained some of its speed, but it’s Retrograde, the square loses power quite fast. Indeed, on the day of the coming Full Moon, the 4th of June, the square will cross the 4°. Hence, from then on, it will be strong, but not very strong. Moreover, on the day of the next New Moon, it will cross the 7°. Therefore, it will have lost most of its power.

Later in the year, on the 21st of November, the aspect will get reactivated again, and it will remain active until the 29th of February 2024. Nonetheless, then, the square won’t become accurate. It won’t even reach the midpoint of the 5°, although just barely.

Amongst else, this square can challenge financial and career matters. It’s also advisable to be more careful with prescribed medicine, in order to avoid mistakes. Addictions, too, might need more effort to be controlled.

The auspicious aspects of the Black Moon/New Moon:

Neptune’s years-long hexagon with Pluto is getting stronger. In fact, it’s already very strong. And it will remain very strong until the 27th of November. During this period, it will reach its peak between the 7th and the 23rd of August, when it’s deviation from accuracy will be 1° and 24’-25’. As we’ve said, although this hexagon will be becoming stronger and weaker many times, without ever losing most of its strength, it won’t become accurate again until the 24th of July 2026. By then, though, both planets will have changed their zodiacs. Pluto has, temporally, changed its zodiac, already, but next month it will return in Capricorn.

Amongst else, this hexagon empowers magic and helps us heal our souls, and our relationships. Physical healing, and especially via traditional methods, also receives some help. Progress in medicine and pharmacology, in a global level can receive support, too. Although, not so much under the influences of Jupiter’s and Pluto’s square.

Mercury conjuncts Uranus. Accurately so on the day of the coming Full Moon, the 4th of June. Nonetheless, the aspect got activated, for the first time on the 9th of April and it remained active until the 6th of May. Now, it will get reactivated on the 26th of May and it will remain active until the 11th of June. Social life receives support from this aspect. More so when Mercury is Direct. Also, everything that depends on the internet, technology, communications and transportations also receives support. Travelling, too, and more so now that the influences of the Ecliptic Period have ended.

Also, Mars forms a triangle with Neptune. The aspect became accurate on the 15th of May, when Mars was in Cancer. It got activated on the 27th of April. It will remain active until the 2nd of June. By then, Mars will be in Leo, of course. Amongst else, this aspect can help us keep a clear mind. It can also raise our determination and inspiration. It can also support emotional healing.

Also, the Sun forms a hexagon with Mars. Accurately so, on the 22nd of May, when the Sun will be in Gemini, and Mars will be in Leo. The aspect, though, is active since the 28th of April, when the Sun was in Taurus and Mars was in Cancer. It will remain active until the 15th of June. Amongst else, this aspect can support our self-confidence and determination, and it can help us make progress with our goals. It can also bring some lucky events and encounters. Gambling luck, too, receives support, but, not only this depends on the daily aspects, too, but, more importantly, do keep in mind that it’s only a planetary tendency and it doesn’t guarantee any wining.

Similarly, the Sun forms a hexagon with Neptune. The aspect is active since the 8th of May, and it became accurate on the 18th of the month. It will remain active until the 28th of the May. Amongst else, this aspect can bring some light in our emotional condition and emotional issues. Hence a very helpful aspect under the current conditions, when our mood and emotional condition are strongly challenged.

Also, the Sun forms a triangle with Pluto. Accurately so on the 21st of May, the day the Sun will enter Gemini. Nonetheless, the aspect is active since the 12th of May, when the Sun was still in Taurus. It will remain active until the 31st of the month. Amongst else, this triangle can support financial matters, and help us solve issues in that field of our lives.

Venus forms a hexagon with Mercury, as well. Accurately so for the first time, on the 13th of May, when Venus was in Cancer, and Mercury was Retrograde in Taurus. The aspect, though, is active since the 6th of May, when Venus was still in Gemini. It will remain active until the 25th of June. During this time, the aspect will become accurate for a second time, on the 17th of June, when Mercury will be Direct, in Gemini, and Venus will be in Leo. Amongst else, this aspect can help love and social life. It can also help us meet new people, or bring lucky encounters in our lives.

Also, Venus forms a triangle with Saturn. The aspect got activated on the 4th of May and it became accurate on the 13th of May. It will remain so until the 23rd of the month. Amongst else, this aspect supports healing, meditation, and also, love and social life. It can also help us strengthen and heal our personal relationships. Furthermore, careers and job related to health, beauty and the arts receive help from this triangle.

Similarly, Venus forms a triangle with Neptune. Accurately so, on the 2nd of June. The aspect, though, will be active from the 24th of May and until the 13th of June. Amongst else, this aspect can help emotional healing, as well as the healing of all our personal relationships.

Furthermore, Venus forms a hexagon with Uranus. The hexagon will become accurate on the 26th of May. It will got activated on the 17th of May, two days before this Black Moon. It will remain active until the 17th of June. Amongst else, this hexagon can help love and social life. Online social activity and love hunting receive even stronger support. Also, it can help us achieve desired changes in our social or love status. Keep in mind, it is a hexagon, so it will mostly support our efforts, instead of bringing chances on its own. Furthermore, finances receive support, as well as jobs depending on the internet, and those related with technology, health, beauty and the arts.

Also, Mercury forms a hexagon with Saturn. The hexagon became accurate for the first time on the 5th of April, when both planets were Direct. Then, for a second time, on the 12th of May, when Mercury was Retrograde. On the day of this Black Moon, it becomes accurate again for the third and last time. Overall, the hexagon has been blessing us since the 31st of March and it will continue doing so until the 2nd of June.

Amongst else, this long-lasting hexagon strongly supports meditation and visualisation. Due to its rare long duration, it’s also a good period for learning such techniques and achieving a significant progress with them. The hexagon can also help us keep a clear mind and make wise decisions. It can also help us with every kind of healing, including karma healing (more so when Mercury was Retrograde), as well as the healing of our personal relationships (more so, when Mercury is Direct).

Also, Jupiter forms a hexagon with Saturn. Accurately so on the 19th of June, when Saturn will be practically stationary, as it will have just turned Retrograde. The hexagon, though, got activated on the 13th of May and it will remain active until the 13th of August.

Informatively, later in the year, on the 4th of November, the aspect will get reactivated. Then, it will remain active until the 17th of May 2024. Then, it won’t become accurate, but for a very long period it will be near accurate. Indeed, from the 6th of January until the 11th of March its deviation will remain under the 2°, while from the 24th of January until the 20th of February it will be under 1°. In other words, it will then be in an almost-perfect condition for a longer period than it’s significantly strong (a deviation under 5°) during this time.

This is a very beneficial aspect that, amongst else, it can help us manifest our wises. It is a hexagon, therefore, it’s more likely to support our efforts than to bring lucky events on its own, but the latter isn’t impossible. Especially when (before it becomes accurate, as well as in 2024) both planets will be direct. Moreover, this aspect can support mediation and, even more so, meditative technique to manifest wises.

Summarising:

Overall, this is a mostly good and beneficial New Moon and waxing Moon period. There are more inauspicious aspects than during the previous fortnight. Nonetheless, the beneficial ones are still many more. On top of that, there is only one retrograde planet, while the energies of the Ecliptic Period has ceased. Therefore, things should feel and be better.

Pluto, though, is still over-charged. More so than during the previous fortnight, until the 31st. Much of its charge is stressful, too. Therefore, our mood and our emotional health need much support. Mars also receives enough stress, which can brings more tension in our lives and makes us easier to get irritated. It would be a good thing to try to control this tendency. On the bright side, though, Saturn is still direct (which won’t be the case from the next New Moon) and it receives mostly beneficial influences. Amongst them, Jupiter’s hexagon, which can help us achieve progress and manifest our wishes. Therefore, this is a fortnight we should do our best to make the most out of it.

New/Black Moon Predictions for Aries:

This is a mostly good and beneficial New/Black Moon and waxing Moon period, for you. There is only one planet in a stressful alignment with your zodiac, after the 20th. Two on the day of the New Moon. At the same time, from the 21st, there will be three planets in a beneficial alignment. Moreover, when Jupiter moved in Taurus might have left your zodiac empty, but that also means there won’t be any direct stress affecting it. Not even from the Moon during this fortnight. At the same time, 7 out of 9 planets (not counting the Moon) are in the Easter section of your chart, so there still is much strength in you, and your efforts can bring lots of good results.

Your Health House is empty, but your Health Planet, although in a beneficial alignment, receives much stress and slightly less support.

In most cases, this would mean that you need pay much attention to your health. Maybe visit doctors, have operations, change your medication and things like those. Maybe a health scare, too.

Also, work, career and business matters receive some stress, but progress, there, is happening. Quite significant one, too, in many cases.
