Inhale deeply; you’re about to feel relief.
After experiencing a month filled with celestial events such as a solar eclipse, a tumultuous Mercury retrograde period, and an intense Aries full moon, it will be a welcome relief to finally have a peaceful new moon in Taurus. The lunar phase will occur on May 7th/8th, 2024, at 11:22 p.m. ET/5:22 a.m. CET.
This new moon is full of potential because its ruling planet, Venus, is perfectly placed in Taurus’s home sign. Venus symbolizes love, harmony, money, and creativity, making this a promising time. There is an upcoming full moon in Sagittarius on May 23, which is expected to bring great fortune. This full moon will be particularly special because it will showcase a conjunction between Jupiter and Venus at the 29th degree of Taurus.
According to astrological beliefs, when two benefics, such as Venus and Jupiter, come together, it is believed to bring about increased abundance, open up new opportunities, and provide a fresh perspective to enhance your existing success. In case you missed it, celestial bodies can have either a positive or negative influence. For example, Mars and Saturn are known to cause trouble, while benefics bring about positive effects.
Thanks to the favorable alignment of celestial bodies, this new moon will bring a sense of rejuvenation and the potential for significant transformations. Make the most of what you decide to do on May 7, because it will be in effect until the next full moon and beyond.
