"We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more." - Carl Gustav Jung

The Very Exciting Taurus New Moon of 2018

   Yes folks, Taurus New Moon isn't just placid any more - thanks to the revolutionary Planet Uranus entering this solid Earth sign less than 4 hours post New Moon!! While a New Moon is still all about new beginnings, this one can be about an unexpected change coming into your life, whether for good or ill. Be on your toes and have a Plan B, as well as a Plan A. In other words, focus on your Taurean wish list for the lunar month ahead, moving in the direction you hope to achieve regarding love or money, or both... then let go of your expectations and see what the Universe has in store for you.

   This is where free will meets those situations outside of our control. The key here is to stay calm and look at your options -- you have plenty! Whatever you do, don't give in to despair. Things will change and situations are evolving. Remember that nothing happens without some context to our past and what brought us to the present. We know what we need to do and forging new pathways through tried and true connections with the opportunities presented can be liberating indeed.

   The Moon is exalted in this Fixed Earth sign of Taurus, so whatever feels like stability and where our resources can grow is what we want to cultivate now. Practicality and security are just two of the enduring attributes of Taurus. The chart for the New Moon at 7:48am EST also shows Mars (energy)  in Capricorn (ambitious) and in a very positive aspect to the Moon. The perseverance of this combination can help carry the day and build strong new foundations for securing your future well-being. The ruler of Capricorn, Saturn (common sense), is at home here and applying to a harmonious alignment with Mercury (planning) for focusing and concentrating our resources in a practical manner. There is much to be thankful for as we let go of the past and move into exciting new territory.

   Here's the cautionary tale in this unfolding drama... Mars, representing aggression, is challenging Uranus as he enters Taurus. This can cause upheaval, accidents, and shocks to individuals as well as to Mother Earth. This alignment will be exact on the 16th, also as Mars moves into Aquarius and is being felt already. Like any aspect involving an outer planet, the effects can be felt for days and even weeks. Mars needs to be directed so that his actions can be controlled and focused on working with others, especially in groups. New approaches that utilize the courage to make change happen, will be most effective, so long as they benefit the greater good and not just the individual.

    Helping to soften the upheaval is magnanimous Jupiter's waltz with caring Neptune, bringing emotional support of others, creativity and an abundance of kindness. If you care or can help someone in some small, or large way, don't be afraid to show it. In all of the potential presented by the universe now, remember to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground~
