Taurus May 2023

Great news, Taurus! Lucky and profitable Jupiter enters your sign May 16, and you are set for the next year, until May 25, 2024. Jupiter brings riches, good old-fashioned good luck, and protection – which you could use after this period of Uranus throwing you curve ball after curve ball.

And now, this month, you also have a host of other planets, very positive planets, supporting you in your body. Even with an irritating Mercury retrograde passing through your sign (April 21 – May 14.) This simply delays some of the treasures you are about to receive. So by mid-month, with the retrograde done, and lotto-lucky Jupiter entering your sign, you will feel like celebrating.

After mid-month whatever you begin – a start up, a new project, a launch – is bound for astonishing success. Especially if begun under the new Moon – in Taurus – on Friday, May 19, an auspicious time for new beginnings.

The essential YOU is not only being protected, it’s being blessed, and given a fresh shine.

After a much-needed Time Out, you see clearly again. Those who once questioned your motives now return to offer support. Healing a rather hot mess of crossed communications. Like balm to your soul. Things go much easier, and you don’t feel so burdened.

You’ve worked very hard, and you’ve built up considerable self-esteem, as well as a nice nest egg (definitely the seeds for one). While you may not gamble at a casino, you may now gamble on love. You may gamble on something creative, too. Let yourself experiment and be thrilled with the results.

Because – seriously – you’ve been doing everything right, but with so little return. Now the planetary power is in your sign, your court, and your buried mojo returns, easing the disappointment of recent losses. May brings money – and new understanding with your body.

For in your sign and in your first – and most physical – house you have:

Shining powerhouse Sun

The current Taurus Moon

Lucky and profitable Jupiter

Brilliant thought and speech planet Mercury (in retrograde from April 21 until May 14)

That lovely new beginnings Moon Friday, May 19

Your inner flame asteroid Vesta

Adoring Juno

And still –

Genius weird sudden Uranus, causing change most unexpectedly

But, for this month anyway, the changes should be  positive.

And what does your first house rule?

Your face (you can always tell someone’s rising sign, always on the first house, by her / his FACE.)

Your body

Your looks

Your image

Confidence

Your behavior and disposition with others

How the world perceives you

Your outer persona

Wallace Stegner, historian, environmentalist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, wrote: “The wound kills that does not bleed.” You’re being so strong, calm and collected on the outside that no one has any idea what’s going on inside. You have to let it out – to let it “bleed” – now. RELAX, dear one. If you fall, you now have a good universe to catch you. But don’t worry about falling. It’s all going to be okay.

On Friday, May 19, there’s a new money Moon in Taurus. Taurus Moon is “the farmers’ Moon” – real life farmers use it as a timer – and it is a particularly fertile and potent Moon for planting new seeds. So a new Moon in your sign of Taurus starts the summer off with a new you. New sense of self, new body, even. You have a chance to see more money come in. As well as correct misunderstandings you suffered with others.

What has been will now be in the past, and you are being directed to the new, and a new beginning.

Change, in itself, can be difficult and painful for the bull. As even when it’s the best thing in the world, change is traumatic and stressful by its very nature.

But you are one of the most the most enduring and determined persons there are, so I know you can deal with this. And deal with it well.

You must make an effort to be clear and clean in all your communications (particularly with siblings or sibling-like friends – those you argue with –  and family.) May would be an ideal time to TAWK about it. It will also be the most practical and pragmatic thing to do, as it will clear up that wound (as Wallace Stegner writes about, above) and do it the most expediently.

Here is the exact timing.

Use this, Taurus, to your advantage: set up important meetings and dates during this time and you will be knocked out by the results.

Beauty and love planet (and your ruler) Venus blesses your finances until May 7, when it moves into your third house of communications, writing, and the internet.

As I said, use this timing to your advantage: Allow the stars to help you in your quest!

Whether it’s a business meeting or a hot date or an audition or a blog: Set it up, put it out there for these times.

And you will be lucky in love too – how could you not be?

So as of mid-May you start enjoying the month more – and man, am I glad to see that!

It gets even better…

Towards the end of the month the veils of fog and mystery will be lifted from your work and your purpose and life path made abundantly clear.

Work and relationships clear up, your home is more settled, and money? You won’t have to worry about it.

Single Taurus you’ll be involved before May is over. Attached Taurus you have your hands full of children, birth, or sex. The birth can happen in your own relationship, as it is being reborn.

The potential for love is everywhere you go. The Scorpio full Moon and lunar eclipse fills your seventh house of relationships May 5, and while there may be harsh words and grievances aired by a partner, the eclipse is really an opportunity to shift away from pain and upheaval. Instead of allowing drama and complex emotions to rule your consciousness, you’ll be compelled to take life one step at a time. It allows you to make personal observations about who keeps you grounded and brings stable energy into your life – and who does not. It’s also a chance to focus on the simplicity of life and use it to heal. Major themes around building new foundations come into play – affecting the whole month of May and following – and you’re ready and willing to enjoy the buds of May. Make merry and Happy Birthday!

I’d catch the buds just bursting out;
And up from every hidden root
Would jump a tiny slender shoot;
I wonder how seeds learn the way,
They always know the very day—
The pretty, happy first of May.
– The First of May by Annette Wynne
