Hi, it’s Keiko. 

It’s been well over a year since the coronavirus pandemic invaded our daily lives, and it could be several more months before things return to normal.  In the midst of this unprecedented situation, I can honestly say that stress relief is not the same as before. 

However, it’s precisely at times like these that we are able to discover our very own ways of enjoying life and learn how to spend quality time.  

Even if sharing a meal or going on a trip with your friends is still not an option, there are still plenty of opportunities to experience and feel the beauty and richness of nature around you. 

It’s the time of year when flowers are colorful and vibrant, and fresh green leaves are dazzling...  

Yes, May is Taurus season!   

On May 11th the New Moon will be in Taurus, the sign that governs abundance. 

New Moons represent beginnings, so be sure to write down what it is that you want to start.  Actually, there’s something I’d like you to do prior to the Taurus New Moon…  That is, write down at least three things that you admire about yourself.  (Doing this on the day of the New Moon is totally fine too!) 

Use the Taurus New Moon to acknowledge your self-worth! 

Does your self-worth come to mind right away?   

Taurus has a deep connection with the “natural talents” we are born with, and the New Moon in Taurus will surely remind you that your natural talents, your beauty, and your passions are the fastest way to secure financial abundance.  Your self-worth represents the absolute amount of love and abundance that you will receive.  

Once again, your Moon sign is going to provide you with many hints here. 

Remember, your self-worth is determined by you, and not by anyone else.  

How the people around you evaluate you is secondary. 

By the way, the great planet Pluto is now in retrograde in Capricorn. 

The May 11th New Moon in Taurus is going to take place in the 10th House, which governs occupation, status, and social position.  Pluto’s retrograde will continue for five months until autumn, which suggests that during that time you may experience various conflicts of feelings, positional disputes, and back-and-forth battles related to work. 

However, it’s up to you and your sense of values to determine what to let go of, and in which direction you want to head. 

Uranus, the planet of reform, is also in Taurus, so there’s a great possibility that a completely new idea will come to you on the occasion of this New Moon. 

When you are unsure about what to do, consult your Moon sign, and choose the option that makes you feel liberated, and you can’t go wrong. 

Be sure to use this Taurus New Moon to discover your own self-worth and build a foundation of abundance!
