The middle of May brings with it beautiful neutral energy and Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan explains what it means for each star sign
The middle of May brings in a beautiful neutral energy, where softness and tender care are encouraged. In the space between acceleration and slow-down, we are supported to be present with our heart space and follow the natural flow of life without pushing our own agendas.
With Mercury stationing direct on May 15, we can now revisit any important conversations or decisions that were previously held off. Keep in mind that we are still in the retrograde shadow period until June 1, so if anything still feels unclear, allow extra time for the fog to burn off. After spending some time in fiery Aries, Jupiter will enter Taurus on May 17. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, as it moves from Aries to Taurus, the expanded energy shifts into “the slowdown”. Any big plans that we felt compelled to create since December, now is the time for us to slow down and get in touch with the practical side of things, as Taurus values the tangibility of big plans.
The new moon on May 19 marks the first lunar cycle after an intense eclipse season. In the sign of Taurus, themes of stability, values and security are brought to the forefront. The Taurus earthiness can also support us in grounding. If lessons from previous months are still settling, make use of this comforting new moon to come back to your centre. Start by paying attention to the small things in life that bring pleasure and joy.
