SUNDAY, MAY 8
Taurus. The Bull. Yin. Mother. Earth. Fixed. The New Moon (at 1:45 a.m. PDT) in Taurus is a period of grounding, time to connect with our bodies and the 1,2,3,4,5 senses working overtime. It would be easier for a praying mantis to milk a spider monkey than it would be to not experience some sort of sensual pleasure today. Earthy Taurus is about appreciating the natural forces of the planet, its people and plants. In some ways, Taurus is here, in this small prairie town in central Kansas, on a quiet residential street. In the yard, Ferdinand the Bull and Bessie (Ferdinand is a real Bull, but Bessie is your dear mother in a cow costume) greet you; Bessy offers the milk of human kindness in a frosted mug (and this, even as we have subjected her species to an industrialized hell) Ferdinand offers you a gardenia. Above them is the Hierophant, 5 frolicking children, and two love storks. To the left, high in the air, an all-seeing eye watches over the Garden. In the back yard, Labor is crucified while a banker, lawyer, preacher and doctor nod approvingly. An octopus grabs at the world. A soldier and a child are trapped in two of its tentacles. Fear not. Ms. Bessy drives a spear through the head of the octopus, as freedom fighting citizens cut off it's limbs. The essence of Taurus, however, is not doing, but simply being. Just stop a moment to feel your body, to smell the air, to sense the light on your bare ass.
During the coming Taurus cycle we gather together our values, with the goal of helping them to grow. This can be a very productive month, but perhaps not exactly in the way we expect. Taurus is the year's lunar cycle when we stake out our garden, when we decide our major focus for the next year. Project seedlings planted now will show culmination during the last half of the year, when Mars travels slowly, and then retrogrades, in Taurus, going over all of the territory which is now being marked? The Age of Taurus coincided with the development of agriculture and was a matriarchal period strongly linked with the Mother Goddess and the Bull. As the first earth sign, Taurus searches for its ground, its value, and the physical expression of the divine. It would be easier for a rubythroated hummingbird to unscrew the lid of a ketchup bottle than it would be for a Taurus to not seek stability and security. Where this New Moon falls in our charts is where we are taking inventory of what we have and what we desire to create next.
New Moons are smaller hyper-spacial doorways than eclipses but still offer opportunities to make important shifts in consciousness. With the Sun and Moon closely square Neptune, we're invited to open our lightcrafts up and experience subtle, nonphysical realities. Neptune rules the dreamtime, imagination, intuition, drugs and our connection with all of Creation. His influence is strengthened around this New Moon as he hovers close to his station retrograde on May 19. Neptune opens the access points between different dimensions of the Metaverse. Around this New Moon, our Metaverse and it's bandwidth is greatly expanded; if we twirl that dial, we'll find more frequencies than we knew existed. We can jump and frisk about in these, usually without ensuing funk and sulkiness. The Wounded healer Chiron goes retrograde in Aquarius today, re-entering Capricorn on July 31, shifting into forward gear on October 4, and finally returning to Aquarius on December 5. Revisiting old wounds associated with career and public recognition is likely during this period. Don't wallow in the pain of earlier failure or loss, make a connection between personal ambition and collective responsibility that leads to success.
The Sabian Symbol for 18 Taurus is:
"A WOMAN AIRING AN OLD BAG THROUGH THE OPEN WINDOW OF HER ROOM. The cleansing of the ego-consciousness. The traditional teachings of human nature are somehow reconciled with the youthful enthusiasm that sees in every problem of growth an issue between the 'good' and the 'bad.' The symbol suggests that the real enemy is within the mind; it is the ego and its attachment to possessions. The mind is shown in the likeness of a 'bag,' now empty and needing to be aired in the sunlight. But the 'window' must first be opened and the bag emptied. PURIFICATION."
If your having trouble finding the right Mom's day gift, you could shave her scalp, if necessary, and have the Mayan glyph for jaguar tattooed (or hennaed) onto the skin overlaying her temporal lobe. Buy a long, loosely curled royal blue wig (you may have to settle for a lighter-coloured wig that she can dye royal blue). This will provide her with two new fashion options, which is why I?m recommending it.
MONDAY, MAY 9
It would be easier for a honeypossum to sculpt a perfect likeness of Aleister Crowley out of marmalade and motor oil than it would be for a warthog to put a condom on a blue whale today, what with our Lady Luna in Gemini enlivening our Lightcraft thusly.. There, she holds court for the newly transformed Venus (0 Gemini) who is just entering the sign of Gemini today as well, and rising as an Evening Star tonight. This is symbolic of Venus emerging from her long Underworld transformational journey she undertook in February. These planetary hotties are a dynamic duo, and if your capable of doing so, you'll wake with morning wood. In fact, our nervous systems might be a little jumpy with this high stimulation in the midst of our shifting orientations. With Venus in Gemini, Love turns light, playful, curious and flirty, as opposed to bleeding in my hand. It's a time to let go of old social rules and relationship expectations. Jealousy is all the fun you think they had.
TUESDAY, MAY 10
Intelligence is the greatest aphrodisiac, but a dab of extract from a civet's anal gland and a nice pair of shoes will work just as well today. The Moon is skipping across Gemini today and a rumor without a leg to stand on will get around some other way. Make that phone call, write that e-mail, run that errand. Avoid any doctrine or religious movement that advocates shameful wickedness with the alphabet. Tomorrow is a new day, but the day after that has been made up of recycled moments you were too busy and depressed to notice.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 11
This morning the Moon enters the watery realm of Cancer, accentuating emotions and connecting us with our inner needs. Do we project a hard protective shell to compensate for that soft center and most vulnerable part of ourselves ? or are we able to take our comfort and security with us wherever we go? It is a time to reflect upon our feelings and nurturing ourselves to determine what we really want and need, as opposed to thinking our way through it. Where there's a will there's a way, but where there's no will there's no way you're going to get anything more than a set of commemorative plates and a busted footstool.
THURSDAY, MAY 12
Mercury enters Taurus in the early morning hours. This transition gives us a chance to shift into slow gear, quiet our "monkey mind" and tune into our essential tactile nature and connect with our surroundings in a more organic way. This evening the waxing crescent Moon (9 Cancer) is situated above the WNW horizon just 7° to the right of Saturn (22 Cancer). This conjunction emphasizes responsible nurturing and incorporates the Capricorn wisdom in seeking forms that will also serve generations to come. Looking to the constellation of Gemini, you can see the bright stars Pollux and Castor just above the Moon and Saturn. Looking out my backdoor, I can see Uri was impressed by a squid.
FRIDAY MAY 13
This year has only one Friday the 13th. Interestingly, the 13th actually falls on a Friday more often than any other day of the week. Today is also the 6th night of the waxing Moon, when the brighter half of the month begins. Jimmy considered this phase of the Moon especially sacred, as it was the Moon-between-the-halves or the Half Moon. This shifting between the dark and light portions of the month (as with all turning points) simultaneously exists at the end of one thing and at the beginning of another, resulting in a magical Metaverse where anything can happen. The Void of Course Moon (21 Cancer 24) occurs from morning until late evening enhancing the sense of magic as things are suspended outside of time and blurring the boundaries of ordinary reality.
SATURDAY MAY 14
Mercury (3 Taurus) moves into square with retrograde Chiron (3 Aquarius) triggering our most vulnerable points ready for healing. With Chiron newly seated in the Aquarian energies, it is apparent now more than ever, that our personal healing is directly tied to that of the collective. It takes courage to show vulnerability and to step out on the edge and embrace new or unconventional ways of accessing healing. Mars is making his once-every-two-years journey through Neptune's sign of Pisces, blurring the edges between fiction and fact. His approaching conjunction to Uranus at 10° Pisces (exact on May 15) urges us to trust our intuition and dare to explore some rather far-out territory. Stand by for startling revelations and pioneering innovations as the Warrior meets the God of Chaos. The exact conjunction of Mars (10 Pisces) to Uranus (10 Pisces) tomorrow activates unpredictable changes designed to bring greater liberation and freedom of being. Utopias are not teenager penises, passionate geniuses repeat. This agitates openly as eeriness.
