Moon Miniscopes
Abundant Moments.
The New Moon falls at 18º Taurus, 11:21 PM ET on May 7th. As we sit in Taurus Season, we are gifted a New Moon that can cleanse and nurture the wounds we faced at the Full Moon in Scorpio. We find ourselves out of Eclipse Season and now on new ground. Our Garden of Eden is restored, and we find the snake did not damn us. Instead, it opened the door to see reality, no matter how harsh.
This New Moon links arms with Jupiter and Uranus while reaching out to Saturn. This time, we are no longer limited by fear; instead, we see that we can expand and push beyond the restrictions that were originally placed upon us. Where we walk, flowers bloom. Our roots are solid, and now we reach for the highest heavens.
The Moon is exalted in Taurus, working at its best. Emotionally, we are grounded yet receptive – nourishing the Earth like a river flowing through the valley. Where the water touches, all is refreshed, restored, and renewed. Venus is the leader of this lunation, home in Taurus for the next few weeks, leaving room for healing. Mars and Pluto speak to one another, bringing action to our intentions and giving us the determination and willpower to see anything through. Our hard work is paying off; perhaps we can rest our heads in the grass and feel the warm Sun on our faces.
Saturn is stabilizing us, this time with no restraint, as it works with the Sun and Moon in grounded Taurus. This meeting of planets will leave us with no shortage of ideas. Life feels more in flow, leading us to listen to the breeze through the trees and taste the sweetness in the Spring air once more. Seek pleasure and joy, and from this abundance will follow – especially now as we fully embody the gifts of Jupiter in Taurus.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 13º to 23º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.

This New Moon is perfectly positioned in your 12th House, so right now is a time to find a balance in work, pleasure, play, and rest. Work quietly behind the scenes and slow down. You are turning inward and focused on preserving your energy. You know you will be expending a lot of it soon. The 12th House can bring insights that we were not privy to before. So, you may discover information that was hidden from view. Now is a time to listen to your intuition and focus on how to best navigate quietly. If you need a respite, take it! Lean into that ease.
Truly, I cannot remark on how beautiful this lunation is. The Sun and Moon will touch on Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus so perfectly.

Budding friendships become lasting ones, and old friends are showing up left and right. Bask in this! People are showing you love, and you deserve that. Support seems like magic — and abundance is found in community. Nurture those reciprocal relationships. Because the 11th House deals with hopes and dreams, it feels that something is coming to light in a whole new way — and this may even be in relation to your future.

LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
This season has you working hard! However, there may be points of refining and reflecting, especially as Mercury had stationed direct. But now that we are out of this retrograde and eclipse season, you are starting to see things a bit more clearly.
This New Moon will bring you to new heights! It falls in your 10th House, so you have the chance to plant seeds in your career or make important moves in your life.

Whatever it is, a career or work-related matter seems to be at the forefront of your mind.
This dose of goodness in your career, legacy, and professional life doesn’t end at this New Moon. If anything, it only continues to grow. Jupiter has been in this part of your chart, where you have seen exponential growth in your work in the last year.

Libra & Libra Rising
New things are emerging now. Resources have changed, in every sense of the word, and a metamorphosis has taken place. As we move through the next few weeks, you will see that a large part of this experience is to open yourself up to healing and be more vulnerable. New pathways that you had not expected will open up.
The New Moon is in your 8th House, opening doors for resources that have been untapped or previously hidden. This could be emotional or material. Some of you may find out about an unexpected gain, whether through you or a partner, perhaps an inheritance, or some sort of windfall. Alternatively, you may find that you are working toward paying off debts and feeling more secure — that you don’t owe anything to anyone. This could also apply to how you feel about emotional debts, almost washing your hands of old situations or people that no longer serve you. This lunation may also bring about a transformation. One that has been a long time coming. In some ways, it will feel like a re-emergence — a butterfly coming out of its cocoon after a long period of reflection, healing, and dealing with shadows that have sat beneath the surface. However, if you haven’t started that journey yet, it seems you will soon. Becoming more intimate and preserving your inner peace will be of the utmost importance.
With the New Moon at a good angle to Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus, there is a sense that things are flowing — easier than they have been. In many ways, some of the fears or scarcity you’ve had around resources are starting to shift into a more abundant mindset. This could not be more true as Jupiter moves through Taurus. Around this time, you will see quite a bit of growth in the space of your healing, intimacy, and inner power. As well as, recognizing new financial opportunities with you or even a partner. Some of you may see this in the form of a bonus, payout, inheritance, real estate sale, commission, or debt relief!
Use this New Moon to explore your sexuality and your intimacy. Release old baggage and let go of fears that stand in the way. Find alternative resources and apply for grants, mortgages, and loans! It’s time to transform your outlook. It is time to call back your power! Healing, grieving, and shadow work are a must now.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
In the last few years, you may have seen your life change in ways you had not expected. Some of you may have taken on more autonomy and independence and/or changed how you engage in your relationships. Others have seen growth opportunities and significant relationships strengthen. Whatever it is, there has been a flowing exchange of energy that has led to massive personal growth.
Now, a New Moon enters your 7th House. You will likely see dynamics shift between you and someone you are close with. Some of you may dissolve broken or irreparable relationships, others will get closer — forming impenetrable bonds. You are seeing the value in the give and take and understanding your boundaries in a new way. If you are seeking out a new relationship, it is likely you will find it. Alternatively, the relationship you’re working on could be one with yourself. Sometimes we think that we need to find “wholeness” through others and forget that we are whole on our own. So, consider this New Moon an exploration of what you need, deserve, and desire. Understanding your boundaries and seeing how you fit into the picture will be pertinent. With the Moon exalted, it seems that sharing a part of your life with others can be very reassuring and grounding. You don’t need to be mysterious all the time. Find even just a few people you trust and open up. Receptivity is huge now.
This message is driven home and will extend out beyond the days surrounding this New Moon. Jupiter is finishing its time in Taurus. For the next few weeks, you will find more ease and softness in your relationships. For many of you, some golden opportunities may bring you much closer to those you love, respect, and/or admire.

You may need to change your view on support and allow yourself to let others in. You are forging/deepening really important relationships now. Let them grow, and in turn, help you grow.
