LUNAR-O-SCOPE NEW Moon in Taurus, SOLAR Eclipse 09 May Rooting in Spiritual Soil ECLIPSE SEASON is ON! The 2nd Eclipse of 2013 marks intense initiation where The Bull secures our lives within our Zodiac Pies. As the current “planet party” here has been already motivating and ensuring activity, get ready for more streaming of conscious energy that wishes to bestow our Spirit with its’ goodness for up to an entire year’s time. Moon enters Taurus 6:09am EDT 08 May til 5:21pm EDT 10 May Taurus energy must beware of dogged, materialistic, lethargic, and obstinate behaviors that may arise. Should any possessive energy be around, it is easy to gravitate to unimaginative and stagnant reactions. While a strong sense of values and patience mark any Taurus passage, the cultivation of enterprising, adaptable, and visionary responses are equally wise to adhere to. Moon Void of Course 8:28pm EDT 09 May to 5:21pm EDT 10 May Moon VOC is the passage in where the Moon makes its’ last major aspect to a planet before entering the next sign. In essence, it is a time that is well advised to not take up in forward motion nor important decisions for the future. Even as we welcome a Waxing Moon and the joys of a Solar Eclipse, as our New Taurus Moon conjuncts our Sun at 19 degrees Taurus, spending time in reflection and review is still favored until it enters Gemini. New Moon, 09 May, 8:28pm EDT, 19 degrees Taurus Solar Eclipse, 10:55pm EDT When our New Moon embarks in the practical and preserving energies of Taurus -the sign that consciously aims for security- we are now ready to really take on an enduring and resourceful spirit for this waxing phase. Earth is Taurus’s elemental influence, so look to this passage to allow feelings to take root, and “fix” into a grounding force.

Coupled with the added boost of a Solar Eclipse, there is a request to initiate over the next two weeks, which will continue to unfold powerfully here for many months ahead. Seeds planted in this section of your Zodiac Pie until the Full Moon 24 May are more than bound to reap a rich harvest further down the road. For the Collective This second New Moon of Spring brings along added initiation at the 19’s ‘The Prince of Heaven’ degree point along with being accompanied by the Solar Eclipse. It is important to note yet again we have a New Moon that begins precisely as the Moon Void of Course begins. One may discover the seeds to be planted here will come with a bit of resistance as the Solar Eclipse equally starts under the passage. It will be that tried and true virtue of patience that Taurus requests of us all that is necessary to be able to watch these new beginnings come into their own mature time backed by security all the same. Mercury is asking to equally be heard as he makes a close conjunction to this New Moon and Solar Eclipse, prompting plenty of communication and changes to be surrounding what will unfold anew in Taurus.
