With the New Moon in Taurus arriving on May 8, Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan explains what it means for each star sign
On May 7, the Sun in Taurus forms a sextile with Saturn in Pisces, encouraging us to use our intuition to see beyond certain material or egoic attachments. Ideally, we can make use of this cosmic transit to clear out what no longer feels needed or aligned. It may be helpful to see Saturn as a mentor who is pointing out what we should leave behind, in order to move forward.
The more we allow the decluttering process, the more we are making space for the new to enter. On May 8, the Taurus New Moon marks the perfect occasion for us to plant new seeds. The earthy Taurean archetype could also help stabilize our energy after a bumpy eclipse-season ride. As the Sun and Moon align, it is a good time to think about what we truly need and want for the future. The influence of Uranus being close by reminds us that change is the only constant . While Taurus may at times resist change, in order to maintain the perceived peace, Uranus invites us to relinquish control. It is possible that you find certain new intentions no longer matching your old visions or goals, and that is perfectly okay. This phase is about adjusting to new directions that help us grow and align better with the ever changing flow of life.
