Description

Beltane is the pagan fertility festival that kicks off Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and this May, there are so many aspects that involve Taurus, the signifier for Beltane, it feel like the festival goes on all month long.  Venus & Vesta describes the aspects that bring about the celebrating of Mother Nature

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We already had the Mercury Cazimi in Taurus on 2nd May, but on the 9th, the Sun meets up with Uranus and blasts us again with life changing energy. It takes the form of major changes in the regulation of our bodies, our food, our health, and farming. 
• There is a New Moon in Taurus and this will resonate with the Venus Retrograde happening in July and August, so make sure you are doing what your body feels good doing. This is a good time to make some cash and get in the flow of abundance.
• Jupiter the planet of abundance and excess, moves into Taurus, joining the North Node, Mercury, the Sun and Uranus. Jupiter will expand all the Taurean themes that are already bubbling up, the planet’s resources, food, farming, our bodies, and of course sex!
• Mars in Leo will emphasise the sex part of that equation, but really this comes with a caveat since Mars will be forming a t-square with Pluto and Jupiter, and the big planets will be holding onto their side of the debate with no clear winners until 30th May.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Some of the astrology aspects that turn up at certain dates, such as the Coronation, are like confirmation that this is all a large mathematical equation. It’s like seeing the cogs behind the wheels turning that make up the machinery of life, and once you’ve seen it you can’t unsee it and you see it in so many different places.’
‘Since Uranus has been in Taurus things about farming, veganism and farms being taken off smallholdings and given to the government, all those ideas have all come to be very prevalent.’
‘Our physicality and desires and food will be in focus, and perhaps some really heated debates around it.’
‘Jupiter expands all expression whether good or bad and will want us to look at nature and how with live or don’t live with it.’
