New Moon In Taurus – How To Work With The Energies
The new moon in Taurus is exact on May 7 at 11:22 p.m. eastern time. New moon cycles are great for starting new things and with this new moon in the sign of manifestation, this should be an exciting time indeed!
Not only are the sun and moon in the sign of Taurus, but so is Uranus, Jupiter, and Venus. So, there is a lot of cosmic support for the new moon in Taurus manifestation energy. Uranus is the planet of unpredictability, which in this case can mean some nice surprises coming your way. Jupiter is the planet of good fortune and expansion. Venus in Taurus is in its home sign, and therefore the best of Venus’ traits are on display, such as sensuality, beauty, and material abundance. What’s not to love?
Also, keep in mind that Mercury retrograde is leaving its shadow on May 13, which should make everything run smoother; Mars is currently in its home sign of Aries, which helps boost our motivation to act on opportunities; and Saturn in Pisces is making a supportive alignment with the new moon, which helps us to focus on realizing our dreams.
With all that being said, the ability to manifest during this new moon cycle—and indeed, during the entire month of May—might be much easier than you would have imagined. Tap into your inner Taurus and stay focused on your goal. However, you also may have to get out of your comfort zone and be more flexible if the Uranus influence throws some surprises your way. What you manifest may not look exactly the way you thought it would. It could very well turn out better than you thought! Even so, good surprises can sometimes be unsettling.
Uranus has been in the sign of Taurus since 2018, which has had a big impact on people with Taurus placements, like myself (sun and moon). No doubt we are probably getting better at being more flexible and dealing with changes, even if reluctantly. But if we Tauruses can do it, so can you! Have fun and enjoy the ride.

Full Moon In Scorpio – How To Work With The Energies
The full moon in Scorpio is exact on April 23 at 7:49 p.m. eastern time. We are completely done with eclipse season and on April 25 at 7:54 a.m., Mercury stations direct.
But we’re not out of the clear yet!
As I’ve been saying for a while now, the energies are not ripe for starting things anew. This full moon in Scorpio—like all full moons do—marks a time to review what has been going on in the recent past, reap the rewards of what you have been working on, plan your next moves, and eliminate what no longer serves you. If eclipse season has impacted you in a significant way, this is a time to pick up the pieces and deal with what’s already on your plate.
The Scorpio full moon energy will help you sort things out. Scorpio is known for diving deep into their inner core—their soul—and digging up the truth of the matter. Their emotions run deep. Sometimes Scorpios are secretive. Perhaps the things they dig up are not pretty or they are concerned that the average person would approve or understand.
To add to that, Scorpio is the sign of change and transformation. In traditional astrology, Scorpio is ruled by Mars, a destructive force that can have beneficial uses. Think of a wrecking ball bringing down an old unused building in order to replace it with a new structure. The modern ruler of Scorpio is Pluto, the no nonsense planet of change by way of exerting your personal power.
To work with the energy of the full moon in Scorpio, allow your deep-seated emotions to come to the surface. Feel. Observe. Analyze. Then, find ways to transform them into something that is useful. For instance, working through fear can lead to bravery. Anger can be used as motivation to take positive action. Sadness can be transmuted through self-care and unconditional self-love. Happiness can be shared with others to help lift their spirits, which they can share with more people, in turn.
In two weeks, the new moon in Taurus, the sign of manifestation, will be here soon enough. This is around the same time as the end of the Mercury retrograde shadow period. As they say, April showers bring May flowers. So hang in there!

Tarot Card Meditation: Eight of Wands and Three of Swords
(A version of this post originally appeared on my Patreon page in December, 2023. Join to unlock daily Tarot readings and more. Free memberships also are available.)
The Eight of Wands is asking you to tap into your fire energy, which means to follow your passions and take the actions needed to complete goals you have set for yourself. Fire energy is also associated with spirituality. Based on this image from the After Tarot, you are encouraged to aim high and see where the adventure takes you.
The Three of Swords in this deck doesn’t focus on any pain you may feel but rather on healing from heartache and disappointment. With today being the December solstice, this is the darkest day of the year for us in the northern hemisphere and a brand new start tomorrow.
Today, let the past go, like an archer shooting an arrow into the air. Becoming a happier person starts with your desire and passion to feel better and doing what needs to be done to reach that goal. Use the symbolism of the solstice to remind you that it’s always darkest before the dawn. Brighter days are ahead.

New Moon/Solar Eclipse In Aries – How To Work With The Energies
The new moon/solar eclipse in Aries is finally here! The new moon will be exact on April 8 at 2:21 p.m. eastern time.
This is a total solar eclipse, which will be visible across a narrow path in North America from Mexico to Canada. Locations in the U.S. that will be in the path of 100% totality are portions of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont New Hampshire, Maine, Tennessee, and Michigan.
However, no matter where you are in the world, we all will feel the energetic influence of this powerful solar eclipse.
New moons are symbolic of new beginnings and as I often say, solar eclipses are new moons on steroids. When it comes to eclipses, people have various ways of working with the energies. For my part, as I mentioned with the lunar eclipse in Libra 2 weeks ago and as I say with every eclipse, eclipses are not the ideal time to push your agenda either way.
Eclipses represent major shifts in energy and there may be changes happening in your life that you didn’t exactly plan for, or else something in your soul calls you to follow through with specific actions. Consider dealing with what you already have on your plate until the conditions are better for moving forward.
When we think of the new moon in Aries, the cardinal sign of new starts, high energy, and bold action, it would seem that all systems are ready to go. But, because this new moon is also a solar eclipse, there may be details you must attend to first—not to mention the emotions that may be stirred up within you. Also keep in mind that we are right in the middle of a Mercury retrograde, in the sign Aries no less. So, this is not a great time for pushing new beginnings.
But how is this for Divine timing: Mercury retrograde will be over on April 24, the same day as the Full moon in Scorpio! That will be a great opportunity to clean up the mess and get rid of what no longer serves your highest good. Then, the new moon in Taurus will be on May 7 and Mercury retrograde post-shadow period is over on May 13. When we get there, set intentions to manifest to your heart’s desire!
