Ah, the new moon in Taurus, what a delight! Taurus is the sign that we associate with the pursuit of pleasure of and enjoyment of the senses.  It is a time when you can get in touch with those things you enjoy of a sensual nature!  So ‘eat drink and be merry’ could almost be the signature of the month. 

The New Moon in Taurus on May 5th is particularly special and emphasises the nature of the Taurean (practical & sensual) experience.  As parents, this could be a great time for you to you to steal a few moments of grown-up time and enjoy each other’s company. At a minimum it’s a time to tell people you really do care and value the relationship you have with them.

On a practical level, it is a great time to make or build on your financial plan and take care of your body.

Potentially, this energy will peak around May 20 with a full moon in Scorpio suggesting intensity, control and desire. If things are good, they are likely to be great! If things are not so good, be aware of power struggles!

On May 26 Mercury the planet of communication will commence its backward journey in the sky.  Of course this is only an optical illusion and astrologers interpret this to mean that communication will literally run amuck until it corrects itself around June 20.

This period of time is likely to coincide with instructions being misunderstood, and people interpreting what you say, quite differently from what you meant to say.

If you happen to be a Gemini or Virgo, you will be particularly affected by this pattern.  Take heart, it doesn’t last that long, and the way to use this time is to think carefully before you speak, to ensure that even you understand what it is you really want to say.

Take care until next month
