We will welcome the New Moon at 21 degrees of Libra at 12:55 p.m. Central time. But this is not just a New Moon — this is a Solar Eclipse! The annular Solar Eclipse welcomes the Fall Eclipse Season. A ring of fire hangs in the sky, the moon a dark silhouette.

The longest day of the year approaches with the arrival of the Summer Solstice on June 21, but first, we have a sparkly, chatty New Moon in Gemini! Read to find out more …

We will welcome the New Moon at 28 degrees of Taurus on May 19, 2023, at 10:53 a.m. CDT. This lunation asks us to consider what we are planting and building. It’s time for a fresh start, as it always is at a New Moon.

But at this New Moon there is a party going on in the sign of Taurus! There is a “stellium” of planets, which means that three or more planets are in a sign.

Well, we have 5 planets in Taurus on this New Moon: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, and Uranus! The North Node (which is a calculated point, not a planet or object), which is a karmic or fated point, is also in Taurus!

So, we have energies representing our will (Sun), our emotional needs (Moon), communication (Mercury), expansion and wisdom (Jupiter), and change (Uranus) all in Taurus.

The Sun enters Taurus and the 2023 Spring Solar and Lunar Eclipses arrive with the New Moon in Aries and Full Moon in Scorpio!
