May Moon Musings

By Heidi Reeves Rising Sol Astrology

Your monthly guide to what's happening in the astrological world.

We are a few weeks into the Earthly Season of Taurus and less than a full week into may brings our first Lunation, a Full Moon in the watery sign of Scorpio at 3:34am! This is a deep dive inwards and brings along the intensity of a total lunar eclipse.

The full moon is a time of culmination and fulfilment of the intentions set during the previous New Moon however, The last new moon (in the sign of Aries) came along with the total solar eclipse and so intentions and manifestations are not recommended. The energy can feel more like a whirlwind during eclipse season so it can be a challenging time to focus on future goals.

The same is true for this lunation. The Full moon in Scorpio with total lunar eclipse is asking us to slow down, to be fully present in the here and now so we can go inwards, dive deep into our inner world and feel into what lies beneath.

The Sun in taurus deals with our Value systems and that of the material world, the concept of form.

The Moon in Scorpio deals with transformation, change and the more intangible elements of life Taurus values simplicity, beauty and all that is ‘mine’ while scorpio dives into the complexities and mysteries that lie beyond the material world, all that is ‘ yours ’ .

This is a time to bring forth those deeper feelings that lie beneath the surface, shine a light into the darkness and let yourself be truly seen and heard. Balance those deeper feelings with the taurus energy and re-evaluate your values and beliefs.

Are you living according to your true hearts desires?

Do you live according to your values?

Pay attention to finances and feelings of worthiness during this time.

Be sure to slow down and hold space for your feelings and always reach out for help when needed, emotions can feel intense during this time.

Fixed signs will feel the energy greatest Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius sun/moon or rising.

Also those with strong 2nd or 8th house placements.

Taurus is also the master of manifestation so this is the perfect time to set your intentions for this cycle, make your promises and send your wishes out into the world

Taurus builds the foundations and will do anything to maintain security and requires a strong sense of safety

Think about where you need to begin in order to achieve your dreams, what are the foundations YOU need to create for you to land?

Pleasure, sensuality and intimacy are also big for Taurus. Valuing the simple pleasures in life and taking our time to smell the roses. This is a great time to get out in nature, reconnect with mother Earth and all that she has to offer.

Practice gratitude for the things that you already have and the people that make you feel safe, seen and truly understood.

Finances are also ruled by Taurus so make sure you are aware of what is coming in going out Are you being too tight with your money? Or maybe you are overspending and indulging a little too much?

This is a great time to set some financial goals along with mapping out a plan to achieve it

Rest is important during this time too, slow down and enjoy the pleasures of life.
