The New Moon in Taurus - Fire and fury, freedom and change...

Rarely in my career in looking at Astrology have I seen the planets in such a disruptive mood. Get ready for major events around the world, as we prepare for a moment of Astrological reckoning.

We have a New Moon in Taurus coming and all New Moons bring new beginnings, but this one lights a forest fire under everything we know. Remember the date 15th May 2018 as it will be etched in your minds for a long time to come.

Ok what do we have in the next couple of days? I'll put up a list is as there is so much going on

  1. New Moon in Taurus at 24.36 degrees conjunct (0.05 degrees orb) to the fixed star Capulus, the star in the handle of the sword that Perseus used to slay the Medusa. This star is representative of aggressive action, of passion and male sexuality, brutality and cutting of ties (decapitation).

  2. Uranus moves into Taurus on this day, and is at 0.00 degrees at the moment of the New Moon. Uranus in Taurus rips up the rule book linked to all things Taurean. Taurus is a sign of the earth and the ground, of food and cultivation, of building and making things, of finances and money, of values and all we hold dear plus the traditional things that we know. This is a fixed earth sign, and Uranus uproots the earth and the things that we have always known. Effectively Uranus is tilling the soil of our lives, as a farmer turns over the earth to plant new crops. Expect earthquakes and the earth literally shaking between now and 2026. Stability will be rocked and everything we have known for the last 80 years will be subject to unexpected and disruptive change.

  3. Uranus is not the only planet to change signs, as military Mars will be in the last degree of Capricorn very closely square to Uranus ready to shift into Aquarius. Mars square Uranus brings the potential of accidents, through speed and haste, rebellious action, revolution, again disruptive change, fire, shocks, and it completely shakes up the status quo. Mars will also be square to Mercury also just into Taurus so expect aggressive words and agreements that go against the grain, arguments and protests and people speaking out against things that are changing. These are fixed squares so you will see people digging their heels in against principles and decisions made against their will.

  4. Uranus is moving on two stars, Al Rescha and and Mirach. I have looked at Uranus conjunct Al Rescha bringing unusual alliances and pulling together peoples under one banner (think North and South Korea or maybe Harry and Meghan). Mirach is the star in the constellation of Andromeda representing the Princess chained to the rocks that Perseus freed from the clutches of the evil sea monster Cetus. This is a star of freedom, of breaking the chains and bonds of the past and of completely letting go. Effectively Uranus is being released at this point, and so we are on the edge of a new era, it is a moment of pure revolution.

  5. Saturn conjunct to Facies in the constellation of Sagittarius (orb 0.05 degrees). This connection shows the determination of authority to get it's own way. People in power now will be obsessive, see only their own agenda, and will act to put their ideas into action, come what may. There is harshness around us now, upsetting events due to everyone wanting to get their own way to the exclusion of the views of others.

  6. Neptune conjunct to Achernar and Ankaa - I have written about this too in times before, but just to recap. Achernar is the star in Eridanus, the constellation of the river, and it brings free flowing crisis situations that we have to react to very quickly. Ankaa is the star in the fiery Phoenix in the sky, burning down old structures so that new ones can rise up instead. The picture of the river of lava from Mount Kilauea is a perfect representation of Neptune's connection to these two stars.

Add in the start of the Ramadan, the Muslim holy month beginning at this New Moon and the change of US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem over the next two days, the rising of violence in the Middle East in the West Bank between Jews and Palestinians, the Turkish leader Erdogan coming out and saying that Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine and we have a powder keg waiting to explode.

Also happening now - the breaking of agreements over the Iran Nuclear Deal, the Royal family in the UK accepting an American divorcee of coloured heritage into "the firm", and the formation in the UK of a political alliance of all colours set against the Brexit process. There may be other incidents and changes that I haven't become aware of yet too.

In short get ready for change, for things we have never seen before, for financial upheaval and maybe the financial markets to go on a rollercoaster ride, for our leaders and presidents to either make unusual decisions or to try and hold firm as the world turns upside down and shows them to either be completely out of touch, or brilliant in their vision and foresight. Get ready for earthquakes and explosions, breakthroughs and break ups, get ready for the peaceful bull to show its horns in an aggressive pose. Get ready for a new order, a new world, more personal freedom. Get ready for the revolution of a lifetime...
