Happy Solar Eclipse 4:29 CST May 9 Taurus 20‘

This is the second eclipse out of three. This makes for a powerful time of setting intentions. A New Moon is always a good time to come to a still point and reset anything that is not working. So take some time to evaluate what you have manifested in your life that is no longer a welcome situation. Make a commitment to change it and set some intentions in that direction.
Stay very very positive despite what may be happening in your life. See everything as an opportunity for movement. Work with gratitude on a daily basis. It's a time to analyze what we don't want in our lives, to find what we need to release or let go of and to make plans for the future. Being in Taurus, make some positive affirmations around money along with issues of self worth. This is a very Taurean new Moon, with Mars, the south node, Mercury, the Moon, the Sun and Pallas Athena all in Taurus. Venus, the ruler of Taurus, is in Taurus right up until the eclipse when it slips into Gemini. 

This eclipse can bring up issues from last November as this eclipse is a reversal of that eclipse. This is a chance to see how you're going in terms of what began or what was happening then.

You may feel driven forward, almost out of your own control. Slow down or run the risk of going past things too quickly. Fleeting opportunities or inspiration. Thinking on your feet. Doing. Avoid Resistance to the creative flow. Superficial excitement. Unstoppable progress.It can be instructive to think back to the last time there was a solar eclipse in Taurus on this degree. It was May 1994. What were you doing then? What were your hopes and dreams then? What did you seed at that time? 

New beginnings. This degree is especially strong as just hours after the eclipse, Mercury moves onto this degree. A few days later, Mars transits this degree, so this is very much a time of embracing the new. 

Enormous potentiality in new trends and ways of being. Sudden eruptions of talent or fields of endeavor. 
Caution in continually seeking something new. Know the grass is not always greener

As this is a south node eclipse, it has the feeling of having to define where we are now, what we are truly capable of and taking steps to heal the past in order to move into the future.

 All that lovely Taurean energy is pulling us back to a place of safety and comfort, or so it may seem to some. Others may feel a strong desire to push forward, but it seems some backing off is required in order to get a sense of the fuller picture.

Venus rules Taurus and it moves into Gemini right on the eclipse. The first degree of Gemini is so perceptive, so 'seeing' and knowing - when we have the 'eyes' to see.
