Tomorrow we have a New Moon Solar Eclipse on May 9th, 2013 and it occurs in the sign of
Taurus. This is a particularly powerful New Moon as it is a Solar
Eclipse. The New Moon in Taurus is a good time to commit to personal
goals that express the positive energies of the
sign of the Bull. It's time to enjoy life's simple and
physical pleasures--savor good food, and enjoy activities that
bring us in touch with nature and with our bodies. It's time to
stop and smell the roses, and to become more aware of what makes
us feel comfortable and secure. With this
potent Taurus energy, we have the chance to make important
changes in our lives. It's
time to make some solid yet realistic plans, and to set the
stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little
or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks' time after
the Full Moon occurs.
The effects of this Solar Eclipse can be felt up to six months after the
actual date of the eclipse. In the sign of Taurus, matters related to personal
finances, values, matters of ownership, physical and material resources,
personal possessions, feelings of worthiness, desire for safety and security,
resistance to change, comfort, sensuality, and familiarity will be a strong focus on a personal
level. This eclipse is about new beginnings regarding all of these matters.
Occurring in Taurus, this eclipse is about strengthening
our sense of security. It is a time for re-evaluating our relationship with money and possessions and
discovering what it is that truly makes us happy and fulfilled.
It
's a time for considering new ways
of increasing our income or earning power. We should be
concentrating on what it is we can do to increase our own
feelings of self-worth. We are asked to get in touch with
what it is that we truly value and want in our lives, and to
part with those things or situations that are not contributing
to our feelings of worthiness.
This includes identifying those
things that give us a false sense of security. Sometimes
eclipses bring about events that force us into this position of
re-evaluation. For example on a mundane level, someone might
need to move to a smaller place that requires downsizing of
personal possessions; another might be in the position to pay
out a large sum that necessitates an adjustment of spending
habits; another might need to deal with an audit or back taxes;
and the list goes on.
We might
evaluate where we have been complicating our lives by our love-hate
attraction to predicament and conflict or by an addiction to food or comfort
items and consider what truly makes us feel content and comfortable. Knowing what it is
that truly - deeply - makes us feel comfortable and pleased ultimately improves our intimate relationships.
