Suzy’s Star Readings: Taurus New Moon Brings Transformation, Healing & New Beginnings
Astrologer Suzy Woo breaks down how this powerful Taurus New Moon could influence relationships, career paths, emotional healing, and future goals for every sign
Happy day, friends! Saturday May 16 at 4:01pm EST we have a new moon in Taurus. Taurus is a sensitive, peaceful sign. Introverted, protective - “slow and steady wins the race.”
In the days leading up to the new moon, it’s recommended to review the previous 20ish days. What did you discover? What do you like about what came up? What did you learn? What can you dismiss? What can you curate and apply towards the new cycle?
In what would normally be a peaceful, quiet new time for sowing and planting, this new moon is actually being set off by quite the show of high-octane planets having high-octane discussions boldly and directly aspecting this moon. It does indicate yet another electrifying turning point. We are in a window of enormous change worldwide, and it’s no joke.
At this new moon, we have a Taurus pile-up involving the sun, moon, Mercury, and asteroid Ceres, indicating a turning point having to do with our needs, wants, values, assets, finances, and food/food supply. We may need to reclaim what’s ours, return what isn’t, and possibly part ways with someone or something. It may be high time to earn more, ask for a raise, somehow raise your ceiling, your capacity to earn, to bring more value to the table, and most importantly, realize your own value!
Add to this, we have a meeting of sky-God Uranus and asteroid Sedna, a higher consciousness theme that suggests we need to let go of something that we have been clinging on to, because it’s safe. We need to let it go, give it up, and see what happens. Taurus energy hates change and disruption, but these two bodies are coming together in inquisitive, curious Gemini. Where have we been hanging on too long in relationship, career, home, friends? How many hours have we wasted consuming gossip on social media or around the water cooler? Where is it we are facing information overload? What a great time to curb our cravings, limit our media consumption, reel in sugar intake, get clear about what vices we cling to, and do something different to honor our higher self.
Is your current lifestyle going to support you in 1, 5 or 10 years from now? The change needs to happen now to carry you in better wellness into your future. I listened to a Jim Rohn podcast the other weekend and in it he said, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now.” Where can this apply to your life?
But there is even more happening this day! Feisty Mars will be with Chiron, the wounded healer. This begs us to be exactly who we are - warts, wrinkles, and all. Appreciate our uniqueness and stretch into unlimited potential! This is a golden opportunity to process any remaining pain from childhood rejections and take a small, positive action of courage, to increase your confidence. Move past roadblocks of past judgments and truly spring ahead for yourself; no one else can do this for you. Make the choice to not be a people-pleaser and do the thing that makes your heart sing.
Jupiter will be amplifying the Taurus pile-up, amplifying anything that you’re unsure of that is available for making up your mind, setting the record straight on your next steps, to forgive yourself for what you didn’t know, and to do what feels right for YOU. And, the cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, will also be talking to each other with Chiron - this is inviting us to forgive on all levels, but it’s really for us, so we can stop carrying around painful chains of the past. Make the determination that nothing is more important than your own well-being, your health, your wellness, your mental state, and your inner peace.
Imagine the possibilities for yourself. It’s not a time to ream someone out. In Taurus fashion, it’s time to quietly step away from the pain point for self-preservation. Here is how it may play out for you - be sure to check your rising sign first, then your sun sign.
ARIES - Go a little deeper and feel where your pain points are. What resentments are you feeling? There’s patterns you are seeing and need to take positive action. Follow your gut, don’t blow your top, and make your plans for moving forward with less cargo. Your big opportunities are about to spring up!
TAURUS - Notice what’s going on in your dreams. There’s insight there for you to decipher. You may get an inkling about something or someone you thought you could trust who is pulling away or being two-faced. Use this new moon to really feel into who and what are best for you in the longer term. This is YOUR special new moon that has a lot of oomph to it. Your future is in your hands; use your intuition and make some adjustments to your plans where needed. You ought to be having an increase in your income between last summer and this summer and if not, you must ask. You ARE worth it.
GEMINI - Your intuition is whispering some awesome ideas! Pay special attention to your dreams and expect some real spark this weekend in the form of major ‘a-ha’ moments. Avoid gossip this weekend or you’ll be dragged into it and miss an opportunity. This new moon is lighting up your big dreams and goals, so use it to get clarity on what you want to pursue and achieve in the longer-term. Peers and coworkers can help you now.
CANCER - You’re likely to be tossing and turning a bit over pains of the past, and you might have some visits from departed loved ones and pets in your dreams. These are actual visits, so pay attention. This new moon is supporting you to come to terms with people you once considered as friends who are now filtered out. You’ll be appreciating your truest friends and are so over any gossip - especially at work or in the public. If you did a little too much comfort eating, this is your time to get back on track to trim down.
LEO - There could be a shock this weekend, that your big dream is about to spark into reality! The new moon lights up your public sector, your career, and legacy. Things are getting into position now and you are moving into your actual purpose. It’s important to be grounded, strategic, practical, and logical, and not spontaneous this weekend. It will pay off.
VIRGO - This is a time of transformation for you, where you have the opportunity of deep-level healing from childhood or other traumas. The new moon is highlighting your higher truth and purpose in life. Be strategic and expect great things with your career as there can be a sudden positive spark there. Mentors and peers are important now; you’re getting a green light to launch.
LIBRA - A spark ignites your purpose this weekend. The new moon is in a blind spot, which could feel like an old wound coming back to haunt you. It’s happening to show you what is still available to be healed; it’s important not to bury or suppress this, but to honor it and allow it to be processed. Don’t be afraid to ask for help via a therapy session or to dive deep into your own psyche to pinpoint your pains, and then do something about them to free yourself.
SCORPIO - The spark happens in an area that is your vibe, inviting you to deepen self-understanding, have even more insight into the choices others make, and defining your role in the lives of others and their roles in your life. It’s likely you are a rising star where a greater purpose has revealed itself to you. Come this summer, it’ll be your ‘show time,’ and now is a great time for publishing and gaining recognition leading up to your spotlight moment. It’s your relationships, agreements, negotiations, and partners that matter this weekend; be sure to engage.
SAGITTARIUS - The new moon is suggesting to get active and start a new health regimen. It’s about the details you do each day which builds the mosaic of your life. Make small positive adjustments to help you build the body and life you really want. The spark is in your relationship house - someone may show up out of left field who you’re meant to walk with - at least for a little while. Learn from others this weekend.
CAPRICORN - The new moon can bring a new love into the picture or a new product or service for you to introduce. It wants to boast your creative expression and individuality; have fun for a change. The spark ignites your health house - be sure to warm up before exercising. Do research and ask lots of questions this weekend; there is something new sprouting for you to notice in your daily routine. You have grown, but need to drop some old habits to support your evolving future! What habits can now die?
AQUARIUS - The new moon asks you what new energy you can bring into home and family life. What can be purged and released here? How can you best nurture your home life now? The spark happens in your creative house, which can give you a brilliant idea to bring to the marketplace. It can also bring new romance into your life from the weirdest of circumstance. In fact, your self-employment energy is and will stay active for some time.
PISCES - You and your relationships and partnerships have been under plenty of change the past year; the new moon wants to nurture your ideas and is asking you to bring your creations to market. It would be advantageous to arrange for some networking opportunities to share your thoughts or creations. The spark energy is at home - you may get sudden inspiration to purge and clean house. You may discover something about your family or home that can pique your curiosity. Be open to discussions to understand others’ perspectives.
It's a loaded energy for a new moon. My best advice is to show up for yourself, be aware of the direction you’d like to go, and point your rudder. There is necessary surrender of something - don’t fight it. It’s scary letting go of the steering wheel, but we will be unsuccessful and agitated trying to force anything. See where the wind takes you!
