This Taurus New Moon paints a very different picture than last month. Both Venus and Mars are now in their favourable signs of Taurus and Aries.

We survived!

April was a tough month with Mars in Pisces -a weak sign for Mars- joining heavy weight Saturn then Neptune. Energy may have felt low. We are now away from the eclipse energy and Mercury retrograde in April. However we are still in Mercury’s ‘shadow’ period which ends on May 13th, so watch out for any glitches with communications.

EARTH SIGNS Jupiter leaves Taurus on May 25th.

Jupiter the greater benefic is now moving forward at 22 degrees. Look where that is in your birth chart. It stationed at 15 degrees Taurus. It moved into Taurus for an entire year on May 16^th until May 25^th 2024. This is wonderful news for Taurus and Scorpio.
Jupiter is the planet of faith, faith in life, that life is worth living. It takes 12 years to go around the zodiac, so look back 12 years to understand its influence in your chart. It is the biggest planet in our solar system and Jupiter is Zeus, King of the Gods. It brings good luck, expansiveness and the feel good factor. It truly is the planet of abundance, especially now its in the earth sign of Taurus.

Taurus is an earth sign ruled by Venus, and it promotes all activities connected to the earth such as gardening, music, farming, art, material wealth and all good things on the physical plane. It promotes cleaning and using Marie Kondo’s methods of letting go of anything that doesn’t bring you joy. Fellow earth signs Virgo and Capricorn benefit from Jupiter’s gaze. Taurus is also compatible with the emotional water signs of Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio.

Uranus is now direct in Taurus activating 22 degrees Taurus. Change is what Uranus needs. Work with it. Make some practical changes in your life. Clear out those cupboards!

WATER SIGNS Neptune The Dreamer is now direct at the last degree of Pisces. In Pisces it favours all the water signs. Watch your visions and dreams, get creative and meditate. We now have an opportunity to bring our dreams into manifestation. Trust your intuition. One key word for Neptune is compassion.

However watch out for scams! It can also indicate illusion, deceit, scandal, loss, drowning, a feeling of being overwhelmed and lost. If you’ve been feeling exhausted, depressed, over-burdened and with little energy then I recommend taking time out and being kind to yourself. Bach Flower remedies such as Elm, Sweet Chestnut and Oak may be helpful. Also for shock Rock Rose or Rescue Remedy.

AIR SIGNS Pluto is now retrograde. Pluto is an outer planet and affects world events. It is now in Aquarius. However Pluto becomes more personal if it connects with one of inner planets in your chart. These are the Sun, Moon, Mercury Venus and Mars. It is activated at mid-life when it makes a square to itself around the age of 38. It has moved into Aquarius from January 21st until September 2024 when it will retrograde back in Capricorn. However it has only transited up to 2 degrees Aquarius so not a major transit.

Testimonial from a long term client

I was delighted when Mark gave me this glowing testimonial. He has bought the Launch with the Stars consultations to find the best dates for his business and his 2 weddings.

Pam is a master of astrology.

She has an outstanding ability to make it human, practical and meaningful. She has been a valuable guide to me through several significant milestones. Besides my yearly birthday reading which I look forward to every year, she has been spot on when it comes to finding the most auspicious dates for important events.

She helped me with the date to register my company 10 years ago, with our wedding in Scotland in 2020 and with our post-Covid wedding party in India in 2023. They were all incredibly successful.

Her understanding of both western and Vedic astrology, blended with psychology and a good dose of magic makes Pam’s knowledge and heartfelt approach second to none.

Whether you have some kinks to sort out in your relationships, want to work on some soul patterns that are keeping you stuck or need some guidance on navigating big life moments, I highly recommend you book a session with her. Mark Albas ‎
