There is a New Moon taking place on May 19, 2023, at 3:53pm, GMT, in the earthy and realistic sign of Taurus. It is the first new moon after the April-May eclipse period and it, thus, brings more calm and peace following the ‘turmoil’ that the eclipses may have brought about. After all, Mercury is now back to direct motion, slowly but steadily allowing for the resolution of outstanding issues that were created during the previous month, if not earlier, especially on a financial, practical or material level. It is encouraging that the resolution of the above issues seems to come in almost ideal terms, giving the opportunity for regeneration, rejuvenation and recovery of forces in order for one to take important initiatives and follow them through (Lights in sextile with Mars and Neptune, Lights trine Pluto).
