For those who delight in the stability of Taurus but secretly crave a dash of excitement, this week promises to serve up just the right mix. Dive into the details of this week’s transits to truly understand what the stars have in store for you!

I. New Moon in Taurus:

This new moon in Taurus, occurring on 8 May 2024 at 05:22 CET, heralds a supremely optimistic and rejuvenating phase, marking it as my most favoured new moon of the year. I strongly urge you to harness this vibrant energy to embark on a venture that sparks genuine excitement and passion. If not, simply enjoy an auspicious day, thanks to this exceptional astrological alignment.

During this period, the Sun and Moon align at 18° of Taurus, accentuating the stable, dependable energy of this Earth sign, known for its solid foundations, loyalty, and reliability. The Moon, exalted in Taurus, thrives here, enhancing our capacity to manage emotions and daily interpretations without succumbing to instability.

This phase unfolds within Taurus’s second decan, notably ruled by the Moon. The dual presence of the Moon in its rulership and exaltation deepens the significance of this period, highlighting emotional maturity alongside a natural capacity for nurturing. This celestial arrangement aligns with the earthy, dependable nature of Taurus, encouraging a fusion of emotional depth with practical perseverance. As such, this period is marked by a harmonious blend of diligent effort and the deep satisfaction that comes from achieving meaningful goals. It reflects a time of substantial progress, fostering pride and fulfilment for those who have committed to their objectives. This decan thus represents a period of significant personal growth and enrichment, offering a time for celebration for those ready to enjoy the fruits of their dedication and loyalty.

This new moon promises a robust continuity of success, projecting an aura of fertile and grounded energy indicative of fruitful endeavours.

Enhancing this celestial event, Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus also converge in Taurus, each adding a layer of complexity and enrichment to the astrological climate. Venus, ruling Taurus, infuses the atmosphere with luxury and social harmony, potentially enhancing romantic and interpersonal connections. Jupiter amplifies these traits with its propensity for growth, abundance, and optimism, while Uranus introduces elements of disruption, innovation, and unexpected twists, creating a dynamic yet harmonious blend.

This configuration is not only profoundly positive but also intriguingly unpredictable, making it a compelling time for creativity, relationships, and personal growth. The presence of Uranus suggests a break from convention, which, while occasionally chaotic, adds a thrilling dimension to the proceedings.

Moreover, a close sextile with Saturn in Pisces anchors this expansive energy, offering a foundation of stability and seriousness amidst growth. Sextiles, though subtle, are auspicious, hinting at potential opportunities that complement this period’s expansive nature.

Thus, the new moon in Taurus appears not as a fleeting or illusory promise but as the onset of a significant, deliberate, and satisfying journey. It is a period ripe for engagement and achievement, with little to no apparent downside.

In light of this extraordinary alignment, I recommend embracing this period wholeheartedly. Should you have plans or intentions for this new moon, I invite you to share how you intend to utilise this potent energy in the comments below.

This new moon will be felt most intensely by Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius placements, particularly if you have planets and/or important chart points around 18 degrees of these signs (give or take 1-5 degrees).

II. Sun conjoins Uranus & Venus sextiles Saturn:

From May 10th to the 16th, with a focal point on May 13th, the Sun in Taurus conjoins Uranus, suggesting a week where the usual pace and stability of Taurus is interrupted by bursts of unexpected events and revelations. This alignment marks a period of potential disruptions that shake the tranquil pastures Taurus typically grazes in. It’s a bit like suddenly discovering a hidden door in a room you’ve frequented for years—both unsettling and exhilarating.

On the same pivotal day, May 13th, and extending from May 12th to the 15th, Venus in Taurus forms a sextile with Saturn in Pisces. This celestial dialogue indicates a counterbalance to the earlier unpredictability. Venus, revelling in the comfort of its home sign, and Saturn, the emblem of discipline and order, collaborate to weave a backdrop of stability and reliability. Here, the pleasures and social graces of Venus are subtly enhanced by Saturn’s call for structure, like a wild vine trained to grow on a trellis, enabling it to flourish more fully.

The confluence of these aspects paints a week of contrasts and complements. The Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus throws open the gates to change, urging us to explore beyond our comfort zones. It’s the sort of week where you might impulsively start a project that feels a bit out of character but promises growth and excitement. Whether it’s taking up a new hobby that suddenly piques your interest or making an impulsive investment in a passion project, the stars suggest that new undertakings could lead to significant, albeit unpredictable, results.

Concurrently, Venus sextile Saturn offers a grounding influence, ensuring that amidst the whirlwind of innovation and change, there are moments of calm and deliberation. This aspect serves as a reminder that while spontaneity can lead to valuable insights and progress, lasting success often requires a blend of enthusiasm and careful planning. It’s an ideal time to solidify relationships, both personal and professional, and to make wise choices about resources and commitments. This might manifest as deciding to finally organize those personal finances or taking steps to solidify a burgeoning romantic relationship.

Overall, the week is a dynamic interplay between the urge for novelty and the necessity for stability. It invites us to be open to new experiences while also paying heed to the foundations we’ve built. Embrace the unexpected, but don’t discard the lessons and structures that have proven their worth. In essence, it’s about finding balance in the flux, ensuring that while we ride the waves of change, we do not drift away from our anchored purposes. This period is not just about managing the currents of change but also about steering them in directions that enrich and stabilise our lives.

The Sun/Uranus conjunction will be most pivotal for Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius placements.

The Venus/Saturn sextile will be most supportive of Taurus, Pisces, Cancer, and Capricorn placements.
