In May, the New Moon is in Taurus.
"The pretty little Woodruff is in flower; what scent is so delicate as that of its leaves? They are almost sweeter when dried, each little whorl by itself, with the stalk cut closely away above and below. It is a pleasant surprise to come upon these fragrant little stars between the leaves of a book."
- Gertrure Jekyll, “Wood and Garden” - chapter: May
May's increasing light and warmth bring the rushing growth of spring back to earth, to root down firmly. In Spanish, the bullfighting term querencia describes the desire of a bull to take root in a particular spot—you may remember the Munro Leaf book "The Story of Ferdinand" about the little bullfighting bull who just wants to sit under the cork tree and smell the flowers.
In Taurus time, we too desire to take root: to settle in, get grounded, and begin to flower. But how will we settle in while there’s a revolution in earth and dirt—Uranus moving slowly through Taurus—and the conflicting need to pioneer something new and social—Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius, pushing past what’s comfortable and familiar and solid. Oh, and with all the conspiracy theories—Neptune in Pisces continues to square the nodes.
If you have a copy of your own horoscope, it will be possible to trace these currents to your own experiences.
About Carol Ferris
Carol Ferris is a full-time consulting astrologer, teacher, and private tutor of astrology with four decades of experience. She completed her MA in Interdisciplinary Studies at Marylhurst University. The title of her thesis, The Sky's Body: Constellations and Medicine reflects her ongoing interest in nature-based medicine and governance thinking of the ancient Near East and Chinese philosophers and astrologers. Carol's work with the multivalent symbols of astrology is interwoven into work with dreams and active imagination. Over the years, Carol has seen these two frameworks —astrological mapping and Jungian imagery —as mutually beckoning guides to understand how all life, in its exquisite specificity, rises from a unified field.
