This month the Full Moon falls in Scorpio on May 4 and is a total lunar eclipse. An eclipse always adds a degree of intensity to the cosmic message that is being transmitted. This Full Moon also marks the midpoint of the Spring Season that was an important event in ancient cultures and is celebrated as May Day in modern times.

This Full Moon is in Scorpio 14 degrees and the keyword is RESPONSIBILITY. This responsibility refers to being conscientious in working with the evolutionary force within you for the development of higher states of consciousness. It is now time to put your attention on your inner growth. The meditation, yoga, and self-development classes that you have been thinking of taking—do it now.

The New Moon this month falls in Taurus on May 18. The seeding of the next lunar cycle is in the sign of the Bull. The New Moon falls in Taurus 28 degrees and the keyword is MASTERSHIP. This mastership is that of wealth and abundance. This requires being adept at the physical laws, as well as the spiritual laws, of wealth and abundance. True worldly success must include material results, achieved through integrity. How we do something is just as important as the end result.

The Sun is in Taurus, which is noted for its fertility. Its earthiness and sensuality wants to be expressed in the rising sap of the life force throughout nature. This rebirth of life is experienced as new possibilities. The Sun in the sign of the Bull now wants us to take care of our financial and material needs. It is a good time to take advantage of new job and career opportunities. Overall, it is a time of financial improvement, so don’t hold back.

Scorpio and Taurus work together as a polarity. As you develop your inner consciousness, then automatically your effectiveness in the outer world becomes more successful. This results in improvement in your material well-being. This is skill in action—go for it!
