New Moon in Taurus 5/7/24: Six of Pentacles

The Six of Pentacles tarot card from the Rider Waite Smith deck

The Taurus new moon this week invites you to be kind, and to pursue opportunities that enhance your overall long-term stability.

The tarot card associated with this transit is the six of pentacles. A few key words for this card are generosity, investment and reciprocity.

This is an interesting card as depending on the situation, you may be the one giving or receiving. For those that are doing well, you are reminded to appreciate what you have and to offer assistance to others or a good cause when you are able. For those that are going through rough times, the six of pentacles upright in a reading is an auspicious sign that your luck is about to change for the better. 😊

What goes around comes around and the karmic wheel of life is perpetually in motion. More often than not, an act of kindness, no matter how small, circles back to its source bringing a blessing with it at a later date. If you are presented with an opportunity to do a good deed that is feasible for you in the next two weeks, consider it.

We are all capable of giving in ways that cost very little. Hold the door for someone, offer a listening ear, give someone a compliment, thumbs up a friend’s post and/or write a review for their business, let someone in front of you in line, tip an extra dollar, etc. You get the idea.

On the flip side, the six of pentacles card invites you to examine situations where you may be over-extending your resources to the point of tipping your own scale out of balance. You should not have to deplete yourself to satisfy or help others.

If the above paragraph resonates with you, the new moon in Taurus encourages you to recognize your inherent value as you prioritize self-care as well as your own sustainability. Invest wisely. Not just financially, but also when it comes to your well-being and happiness.

Have a great week! ❤️

Pluto goes retrograde 5/2/24

Pluto goes retrograde 5/2/24

Pluto goes retrograde in the sign of Aquarius today. Collectively and individually, we are encouraged to examine past and present narratives, and explore if they still hold the truth for us.

When a planet goes retrograde, its effects are more internalized and/or intense. Pluto is already an intense energy, and being in the sign of Aquarius, its effects will be amplified and focused on exposing long-standing, not so pretty hidden truths, to the collective. What we do with this information is up to us. Do we turn a blind eye? Or do we hold the responsible parties accountable?

On an individual level, Pluto’s energy will be much more internal. As it reveals the shadow aspects of ourselves, by mirroring them back to us through situations or people. Helping us to understand where and why, we may be susceptible to unbalanced power dynamics. Your feelings, thoughts and perceptions will encourage you to ask questions. As the saying goes, “when you know better you do better”. This is your invitation to take back your autonomy in areas of your life where you may have unwittingly given your power away to a false narrative.

Pluto remains in retrograde until October 11th , however it does not leave the shadow zone until February 2nd. Individually, this allows transformative insights to be recognized and worked through over several months. The world stage however, will be quite interesting to say the least during this time!
