Friday 5/6/16--Taurus new moon

The mid-spring new moon, Sun and Moon meet in Taurus (12:29pm PDT), peak earth power, the flowering fertility of physical nature. It is hugely reinforced this year, stabilizing our situations and energizing us with big potential ready for expression.

With deep, heavy Pluto in grounding, constructive Capricorn (since 2009) and expansive, 12-year cycle Jupiter in practical, fruitful Virgo this year, a grand trine alignment in the three earth signs makes this a historic amplification of physical nature power. Jupiter is ending months of retrograde here, fully charged with big, earthy energy, shifting forward into transformative expression of this starting Monday 5/9 (5:16am PDT).

Mental Mercury is retrograde, internalizing, undermining momentum with reflection, second thoughts (until 5/22). Moon in Gemini activates mentality this weekend, moving into Cancer, emotional release, Monday (10:24am PDT). We must give in to the pull of nature, flexible to changes, trusting the mystery of creation as it moves us forward.
