To Fly, We Must Ground
Jupiter in Taurus for the New Moon in Taurus
Emerging from the Spring Eclipse Season, we have to admit, we’re a bit depressed! We feel beaten down, eternally exhausted, lackluster. Luckily, Jupiter in Taurus and the Taurus New Moon offer a return to nourishment. We are read to clean the slate and prance into a period of potential clarity with Gemini Season adding sparkle to the year ahead.
5/16 JUPITER IN TAURUS
On May 16th, the Planet of Luck and Fortune departed from Aries and stepped into Taurus.
Jupiter shall sit on the luxurious Taurus throne until May 25, 2024, making this shift a major event affecting the entire year ahead. Where Jupiter’s influence is felt throughout our societal and personal support systems, it is most known for its “expansive” qualities. In planetary magic, Jupiter is often utilized for business and monetary wealth but can mean so much more to those focused on healing, wellness, community, and culture. Without leaning into the typical capitalist cliches, Jupiter can bring beneficial blessings, offering growth and abundance in many arenas. Teaming with the Earth Sign of Taurus, Jupiter’s stay may find itself to be a gracious and giving host where everyone is invited to the table, the lush garden providing food, friendship and frolic for all.
Jupiter in Taurus has potential to emphasize patience, being present with our thoughts, in tune with our bodies and protective of bodily autonomy. We may find ourselves to be more focused on strengthening foundations with a renewed responsibility towards health and home. Additionally, Jupiter will experience a square with Mars on May 22 “creating tension between our inner warrior and our inner optimist”; conjunct the North Node on June 1st “strengthening our desire to make contact with like-minded people or with those who can help push us in the direction of growth and improvement”; and a square with Venus on June 11.
By the time we reach tomorrow’s Taurus New Moon, the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, and the North Node will all be in the Earth Sign of Taurus for a blissful moment of grounding and growth.
