Why This Taurus New Moon Matters
This isn’t just another New Moon. It falls in Taurus in the Second House of your natal chart, alongside Venus, Proserpina, Uranus, Jupiter and Vulcano.
The Second House has an ancient association with the word ‘lucre’ from which we get filthy lucre, but also lucrative…
The glyph of the bull’s head looks like a money bag. A sack of old gold. A sack of truffles to sell at a Parisian food market.
In modern astrology we use asteroids which complete the family tree of the planets. So, for example, Vulcano was the lover of Venus.
You can decode these planets and all-important asteroids at my website.
THE NEW MOON IS A NEW BEGINNING. It is a conception. It is what/who comes together in a brand new way, to create or make something new, too.
Sun is father. Moon is mother. In a conjunction, the alchemy is there for something fresh to appear.
Venus shows a complicated relationship that will be there too. Like mother and son, or two lovers, or husband and wife. It’s on that level, even though it may be purely business.
Uranus and Jupiter in Taurus
If you have anything in Taurus in your Second House of money and property, then this New Moon will change your plans.
In the Natural House System of astrology, the Second House shows wider issues like your values, principles and ethics (what you refuse to sell out for) as well as what you will trade, bargain and barter over (what you will compromise over).
On the most basic level this is about an inheritance clearing probate and your receiving money. It is about an apartment selling. It is about cutting a deal with your staff, or negotiating a settlement.
If you have anything at 18 Taurus then this New Moon will change your life.
Proserpina shows a go-between who will bridge a gap, or negotiate the space between two players or organisations.
Uranus Is the Big One
Uranus is the big one. It shows radical change. Revolution. A tremendous need for freedom and independence in the world of currency, taxation, the banks.
Uranus in Taurus can also show up as the need to break away; to break with the past; to be more independent. Again, in Taurus, it is in the context of business, income, salary, financial agreements, contracts.
Jupiter is hugely beneficial. Luck is here. Right time, right place, right people. Jupiter is about what grows.
Vulcano shows the empowerment that comes from self-control. Again, there is a complicated relationship here. Vulcano was the lover of Venus. You’ve just seen how she is in Taurus, too.
EVEN IF THIS IS ABOUT YOUR BANK, it’s going to feel so much more personal. This is the last New Moon in Taurus, together with Jupiter (the planet of growth, expansion, solutions) for 12 years.
Watch Wall Street, represented by the charging bronze bull, on Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th May. This New Moon overhead is the signal for an historic new beginning, with so many companies, on those days.

Jessica, wonderful. Thank you. We’ve been waiting for this.
China has dropped US treasury bonds in favour of gold. The rammifications to the global stock exchange of this and other dedollarisations are as yet unknown but will be shocking for many.
