Aries ♈
The May new Moon gives you an opportunity to sort out, clear up and take a fresh approach to the people in your everyday life and how effectively you communicate with them. With the new moony-Moon in your third house of thought, communication, neighbours and siblings, there is a slight danger you could become a little too subjective in regard your responses to these everyday relationships.
Mercury and Jupiter form a final lucky conjunction for you within 24 hours of this new Moon. Your world of resources has benefitted through Jupiter-- 'the great benefic' and the conjunction of Mercury to Jupiter in you second house provides a practical means for harnessing Jupiter largesse into ready cash or the expression of your talents. Ready or not. The square between Pluto and Uranus will be 'on' for pretty much the month of June to varying degrees of intensity. This translates for Aries as a need to transform, perhaps even overthrow some aspect of your identity which could also be a professional or work related persona of your's. More simply put your job, employers or colleagues may be trying to curtail your freedoms and you may be putting up a strong resistance, possibly acting in unpredictable ways, which are quite a break from how you normally 'appear to be'. Go with the radical change even though it is indeed stressful, because the worst thing you can do is to try and resist inevitable changes.
Use this new Moon to being about a fresh approach to how you deal with the people in your world. Venus retrograde in Gemini in the third house as is this new Moon/eclipse will possibly stir up feelings of nostalgia for siblings and old modes of thought. The old order is being dissolved however and we have no alternative but to embrace the new. It's probably best not to look back. However, repair and re-affirm where necessary. Resolutions to improve or upgrade the quality of your relationships will receive a welcome boost by months' end.
Taurus ♉
The May new Moon gives Taureans an opportunity they know how to grab with both hands. A new Moon, new Sun and the eclipse occur in your second house of cash and moveable resources, where Venus your ruler is stationed retrograde. Jupiter in Taurus has seen you in expansionary mode, feeling more generous, connected and confident about yourself. Vesta, Ceres and Lilith are all still transiting Taurus helping to make you feel comfortable and at home on the planet in your skin.
This new moon is the last new Moon before we all must contend with the exact square between Uranus and Pluto--it's fitting that it should coincide with a partial eclipse making it a more radical break from the past and giving it and us a bit of a jolt in that direction. Take the opportunity to rationalise your stuff. With Venus in Gemini (your second house) and currently retrograde you could uncover 'lost things' what when reviewed now could change the way you thought you felt about your stuff resources. Be generous with other's and yourself. In some ways this new moon highlights you feelings about your things. You are not your things. Obviously.
However, a rummage through the attic, through archives, letters or simply finding your old Teddy Bear has the potential to be a transformative and liberating way to consider old memories and attachments in the light of what you know and who you are now. On a mundane level, perhaps there is something quite valuable up in the attic you'd completely forgotten about.
Gemini ♊
Happy birthday Gemini. Your present from the universe is the extended stay of Venus in the sign of Gemini for well . . . all of next month anyway. Make hay as they say--the Sun is shining on you for the next month.
Your new year starts with an enormous, opportune and necessary break away from the past. By now, your house is in order--man it is so over-ordered, domestic OCD has possibly run you a little ragged and while there's an ongoing demand to maintain our domestic spheres-- focus on yourself instead for at least the next month.
We undervalue just how much our domestic environment affects the choices we make about our lives and our obsession for real estate, which while understandable, can sometimes cause us to make too many compromises that affect how we end up 'being'. Ending up! God spare me from ever being described as having 'ended up' somewhere.
This new moon my dear Gemini, attend to numero uno, and trite though it may seem seek out such things as massages, facials, new clothes and expect to find a brand new feeling of confidence about the skin you're in.
Venus retrograde in your sign is going to soften for us some of the harder, more abrasive, right angles of the Pluto Uranus square. The quick thinking Gemini with Venus on side is in big demand for her charm, ability to cajole, fast-talk and ameliorate some of the passions of the more frazzled among us. (Oooh! Look over there!) Get rested, get relaxed and be prepared to glow.
Cancer ♋
A gung-ho approach to how you communicate to the people you encounter in your everyday life could at this point in the proceedings have you feeling decidedly frayed at the edges. You can blame Mars if you've been feeling a mite ornery of late. Your astrological year is coming to a close. Birthday month for Cancerians next month. This new Moon however is ripe for 'soul mining' and taking stock. Ease off on the accelerator and sound the retreat. This could be more easily said than done, with Mercury razzing up Jupiter in your social sector which has been expanding under the influence of this great benefic of the cosmos i.e, Jupiter. But for this new Moon Cancer spend at least a day or two if not the entire month of Gemini in rest and reflect mode. Your batteries need charging take some time out for your unconscious processes to process. Sleep, dreams, a little perusal of some sacred texts, love poetry that sort of thing will replenish and revive you.
Your relationships and your career are in for some pretty serious shakedowns and you are required to be as fully conscious as you possibly can about what is stirring and motivating you from the core of your being. This is not nearly as unpleasant as it may at first seem--especially with Venus--goddess of beauty, light and abundance alongside as you plumb the depths.
We're all in for a serious shake down and it's the canny, caring, Canerian with entrepreneurial skill and the ability to relate and feel out others at a deep level who will help grease the wheels of civilization, (which frankly look to be at risk of falling off). Get to know and learn to trust the patterns and processes of your essential self. It's vital that you heed and trust what gently impels you.
Leo ♌
Since your spectacular rebirth--back when Neptune moved house and the confusion of relationships began to clear and Jupiter moved into your tenth house of career and public life--Lion, Sun Kings amongst us have been feeling pretty chipper. Things are now much clearer and with Mars in your second house helping you look after numero uno and her things, it's a more confident Leo we know and love now than has been the case for quite some time. This new Moon and the Sun's entry into your eleventh house is putting the spotlight on how the Neo-Leo is admired and respected with groups and organisations. Take the time and the opportunity this month with a kickstart from the new Moon with added eclipse to appreciate and perhaps even scruitinise the groups you hang with. Make sure they pass muster because they could define you for a while to come.
A healthy, autonomous, wise, Leo is a happy Leo. Which could be said of any of us-but with Pluto in your house of healthy functionality and Uranus giving you flashes of insight and brilliance (mixed with a certain element of rebellion) in your house of higher learning, there will be times when you must dismantle outmoded structures and daily routines and build up brand new ones that work with your new approach to life now.
It's a confident Leo at home with 'his people' who the world needs now. Venus retrograde in the eleventh house could see you revisiting past associations--to check in on their progress. This new Moon marks a clear divide. You may be be feeling terribly sentimental about the gang you once hung around with--that's fine. Reassess, Saturn will help. Loves' the ones' you're with, but don't lose track of who you've become.
Virgo ♍
The May new Moon puts the spotlight on your annual opportunity to make wishes, say prayers, and generally seek to impel forward, radically reinvent, or put some added cosmic energy into the public persona area of your chart. I.e, your tenth house. This is your career new Moon, connected to your reputation. So do good.
It is a lamentable fact in the West that we have a predilection for defining each other by what we do. We are not what we do. We are incredibly thick sometimes, and you don't need me to tell you that what you do, or your public persona is nowt but a passing phenomena sure to die and return to even less than the dust you will become one day.
In the meantime however, whilst so ever we have arms and legs and heads and hands and so forth, it seems pretty apparent that we've been designed to
do something. So what is that you do? Or want to do? Or perhaps should or can do?
For Virgo the unrelenting energy of Mars in Virgo is soon to end, but the pressure will not subside necessarily it will simply shift position. This new Moon gives you a golden opportunity to really kickstart your stage-life or perhaps embark on an entirely different stage. Keep your children safe, but don't smother or try to control them.
--Here, point form.
- Expect the unexpected when it comes to jointly held resources.
- Don't become dependent on anyone.
- Intense and confusing or confusingly intense relationships are your lot for a while yet. So
- keep some energy for yourself. Focus on your public life.
- Your subconscious life is all shook up now baby, snow-cone like. So
- make good use of your body
Libra ♎
The May new Moon activates all things to do with higher learning, widening horizons, philosophy, distant travel and sport. Any leanings you have in these areas are given extra impetus from this new Moon and the month long transit of the Sun through this house--the ninth house. That there is a solar eclipse accompanying this new moon simply adds an element of insistence that you broaden your outlook any way you can, through education, of lofty modes of thought. Things of beauty come to mind with Venus also in this part of your chart.
As an air sign, living in the world of thoughts and ideas is your natural element and with fellow airhead Gemini, hosting this months' new Moon, Venus and the month long transit of the Sun, you will find your mind is greatly stimulated to explore distant and perhaps arcane philosophies and ways of thought. With a Gemini new moon, and an eclipse you must seek out knowledge and look out into the world with a sense of questing.
Venus, your ruler retrograde here would suggest that things related to art, literature and the social/ecological sciences that once touched you, again have the power to change the course of your thinking life. Old letters from overseas, photographs, lecture notes, maps and/or the re-reading of texts that had a big impact on your thinking may fall into your hands again. (Or you may actively seek them out in a rummage through the 'archive boxes'). This new moon eclipse suggests that trips down a nostalgic route to old understandings have their place, but you will soon see you have a whole new and different 'take 'on these things from your past. Smile, appreciate and move on.
Scorpio ♏
On a superficial level Scorp, this new Moon signals an opportune moment to get on top of your finances--not so much the ready cash, but more your investments in particular, shared resources. Which can include money you share with a partner, money you share with the bank and money you share whether willingly or not with the taxman. The eighth house where the May new moon occurs for Scorpios is probably the most mysterious of the twelve houses. It governs such things as secrets, death, taxes, shared resources, inheritances and for good measure, psychic experiences. It's hard to draw a logical link between these things--suffice to say they are all things that tend to manifest in apparently mysterious ways. You will undoubtedly have a better idea than I as to how you can take a fresh approach to such things as this new Moon would suggest you do. Is it in the form of a radical reappraisal of how these things impact on your life? Psychic experiences, alimony, tax evasion, or somebody's actual death.
On a mundane level Scorp, think about doing your tax, be careful about where you're investing your money; with Venus retrograde here be careful about money that has come to you mysteriously, because there's a chance that you may have to give it back. Dang.
Sagittarius ♐
This new Moon and eclipse gives you the chance to take a fresh look at your close personal relationships. Venus offers a helping hand and you might have already felt the effects of her stationing retrograde--here in your seventh house. She stationed retrograde on the 16th May, so any snarl ups, past loves or impacts she made on your close personal relationships around that time are given fresh impetus for resolution by you with this new Moon/eclipse and the transit of the Sun through your seventh house. The stirrings of feelings for former loves, whether they have actually reappeared in your life or you have just visited them in thoughts, are giving you the information you can use to clear up how you feel about these people or feelings. Take another look but don't go back. This new Moon and eclipse represent a chance to take what is probably a challenging break the dynamics of old relationship. Grab it with both hands run and don't look back.
Capricorn ♑
The May new Moon for Capricorns, with added partial eclipse suggests that you bring your powers of focus and attention back to the regimens of your daily life. For the normally serious-minded Capricorn this is not necessarily a signal to get your workaday life back on track--although it could certainly be that too-- but more for you to make a fresh resolution about your diet, and exercise making sure you give your body the kind of attention it now needs and certainly always requires and indeed deserves.
Venus retrograde here could have you going back to meditation or reworking back into your life Venusian type things that once enriched your everyday world. Venus will be in Gemini until August, helping you with new resolves, easing the day-to-day running of your life and heralding the arrival of Jupiter into this part of your chart which will make these day to day commitments to self and others more rewarding, more expansive and very much less of a chore.
Aquarius ♒
If there is some creative activity you used to do and once enjoyed this is the new Moon to resurrect it. The new Moon an eclipse and Venus (now retrograde) in your firth house of creative self-expression, children, play, lovers, entertainment, art and music, suggests that whilst it's generally not fortuitous to take up again with past lovers, it can beneficial to take up, or revisit, things relating to music, art and say, rambling walks without this being in any way a regressive step.
Perhaps you stopped meditating, drawing or playing music towards the end of Neptune's transit of Aquarius and it's only now you're beginning to realise these pursuits, while they offered no apparent practical application actually have an enduring validity for your inner life. You need to do these sorts of things to feel whole, connected and replenished, they are manna for your soul. The homebody Aquarian who finds their psyche being radically reconfigured is advised to reconsider their relationship to engaging with creative pursuits. Don't confuse creative pursuits with work however, even if it's through your creativity that you support yourself. Find something or re-visit something that is pure play for you.
Pisces ♓
This is your annual, heavenly supported opportunity to get your house in order and to think about how your mother continues to exert an influence (for better or worse) over your domestic sphere. For most of us, it was our mothers who set the domestic standards in our houses (for better or worse) or who at least tried to. Most of our domestic habits we learnt from our mothers, along with our mothering skills. (
Again, for better or worse).
You have an opportunity here to break with past traditions to take the good, lose the bad and make your domestic sphere and mothering skills unique unto yourself. With new dwarf planet Vesta in your third house you may be have been thinking about the 'home fires' and with this new moon you have the chance to put thoughts into action. Getting your own house in order is a prerequisite for any spiritual questing and doing so will make the next eclipse in your tenth house a whole lot easier to handle when you have a functioning home base to retreat to and set out from.
