(1 Opinion) The New Moon in Taurus of May 2023 Will Bring You Luck in Love & Money—Here’s How

Although full moons tend to get all the credit, new moons are what sets everything in motion. When the new moon in Taurus of May 2023 takes place, it will give you an opportunity to create distance from the past and begin something different.

A new moon always takes place when the moon—ruler of your inner world—joins forces with the sun—ruler of your external world—aligning the energy and forging the foundation needed to embark on your next journey. Whatever you start on the new moon reaches culmination by the full moon, showing you the consequences of your decisions and the results of your hard work. Although your energy may feel a bit lower during the new moon, it’s only encouraging you to look inward and reflect on what’s come and gone. And though your reflection, you are guided to set an intention that will guide you through whatever comes next.

However, not all new moons are created equally, and the upcoming new moon on May 19 at exactly 11:53 a.m. ET packs a real punch. If you’re willing to lay down the groundwork for something that has the potential for longterm gain, now is the time to do it. Eclipse season and Mercury retrograde are officially behind us, making this a beautiful time to begin manifesting the future you’ve always desired. Tell the Universe what you want to achieve, show up to do your part and allow the moon to take care of the rest. Here’s why this upcoming new moon is more special than most: please click here to finishing read this article

(1 Opinion) Here’s How To Harness The May Full Moon’s Divine Feminine Energy

Mercury Retrograde finally ended on May 14, which means you’ve made it through the chaotic period (relatively) unscathed. The May new moon arrives on May 19 at 11:53 a.m. ET with tons of opportunities in tow, so you can officially leave all the negativity behind for good. This lunar event is all about fresh starts, after all — but to effectively harness its energy, you’ll need to be tuned into the spiritual meaning of the May 2023 new moon so you can kick off your next chapter the right way.

Because new moons mark the first phase of the monthly moon cycle, they’re known for bringing abundance in the form of new beginnings. Thanks to the conjunction that occurs between the moon and the sun during this time, you’re able to plant seeds for your future, set personal intentions, and connect with your intuition. Not only that, but the May new moon is also rising in the practical and grounded sign of Taurus, so don’t be surprised if you’re suddenly flooded with stability in your work, relationships, and more.

Ahead, astrologer Brilla Samay shares what you need to know about the significance of the May new moon so you can use its energy to your benefit.

What’s The Spiritual Meaning Of The May New Moon?

Samay describes the May 2023 new moon as embodying the “essence of the divine feminine energy.” If you didn’t know, the divine feminine is thought to be a part of our consciousness where we access qualities such as intuition and receptivity. New moons are typically tied to intuition to begin with, but what separates this lunar event from the rest is that it holds a “profound spiritual significance in terms of ancestral connection,” says Samay.

“[The May new moon] serves as a conduit between the past, present, and future, providing a sacred space to honor our ancestors and receive guidance from their wisdom,” the astrologer explains. “It also invites us to deepen our connection with the earth and assume the role of stewards of the planet.”

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Aries

It seems that it will be quite hard for you to adapt to new situations this day. Especially if we are talking about an unexpected change in your plans.

You will probably find it extremely annoying and it will take you quite some time to regroup and think everything through again. Don’t worry that much, try to see the bright side because it might be quite an important one to this situation.

Taurus

Today you will probably get the chance to take action in regard to some plans you’ve had for a long time. For some natives it will be a great time for conclusions and closures in work affairs while for others it will be an auspicious time to go on a holiday.

You can focus on a hundred different aspects of your life today and make a change because the disposition will be on your side.

Gemini

This is going to be quite a difficult day for those natives who won’t be able to keep their mouths shut. It’s not the time for them to be all dramatic or to try to impose their opinions.

If you feel you are being overlooked you should gather strong arguments before speaking your mind. There might be a risk for judicial troubles to be appearing the following days.

Cancer

Today will offer you the chance to make up for past mistakes, especially in terms of your relationship or a romantic interest.

Be it that you apologize for your mistakes to your partner or that you start over with someone you’ve just met, this day will offer you a strange combination between courage, determination of convictions and charm to help deal with it.

Leo

Today your focus should be still on financial affairs, now stressing even more the importance of not letting yourself led by the illusion of wellbeing or counting on resources you don’t have.

Remember that money usually comes out of work, any kind it is and it’s first compromise time and then entertainment and not to mention the saving and investing need.

Virgo

This day might bring quite an adventure in your life and most likely in the romantic field of your life.

Those natives that are single and having no strings attached are sure to seize the opportunity to get to know someone that has caught their attention while some of the natives that are happy committed might have a hard time resisting some sort of temptation coming their way.

Libra

This day you will probably seem like the most fun person to be around. And it’s not for you being all sociable and entertaining but more of the fact that you let everyone do what they want, especially your children.

You are all understanding and calm this day and it seems that nothing will be too big of a trouble for you. You will also have some time for yourself later in the afternoon.

Scorpio

Today you might need to be all patient and understanding. If you’ve made plans for this day, leave them aside because there are little things that will actually get to completion today.

You don’t need to worry too much for not completing your work because there will be enough time in the following days but you do need to pay attention not to put pressure on anyone for not respecting your schedule.

Sagittarius

This day will be marked by a strong feeling of insecurity and fear. You might not have any reasons for which to feel this way but none the less you might end up blocking any initiative today.

You might be faced with the consequences of precious acts and this will scare you a little and determine you to be a lot more responsible for your actions.

Capricorn

Unlike yesterday, it seems that the wheel is finally turning for you and you will get the chance to spend quite a relaxing day.

Once you get all your chores done you will probably have enough time for yourself and even the mood to go out and meet your friends. Other than that, you might physically feel weakened as an effect to the stress you’ve been under lately.

Aquarius

For some natives, this day might bring wedding bells. And it is not necessarily for someone to propose or plan a wedding. You might just receive an invitation to such an event.

Whether you should accept it or not it’s up to you but for the single natives it sure is a great time to meet someone new. It might also strengthen family and friend connections.

Capricorn

Unlike yesterday, it seems that the wheel is finally turning for you and you will get the chance to spend quite a relaxing day.

Once you get all your chores done you will probably have enough time for yourself and even the mood to go out and meet your friends. Other than that, you might physically feel weakened as an effect to the stress you’ve been under lately.

Pisces

This is going to be quite a difficult day for natives whom might have to admit that they have failed in taking to completion a plan or a task.

They might be the ones to blame or they might have the right excuses but sure it won’t be a pleasant time. Other than that, it is a good time to try to consolidate everything you need to feel certain of and not take any risks.

Aries

This is going to be a romantic and entertaining day for most natives. Even those whom are single or are on the verge of a break up will have some fun this day.

You should seek ways in which to enlarge your views, from signing up for a course or getting in touch with people that could help you. You might feel that things are not going great at work but this is just a temporary situation.

Taurus

This day will probably bring you a few reasons to rejoice. It might not be anything of greater importance but sure will make your day. It might even give you the chance to gather your friends and go celebrate.

For those natives with children around, expect for the little ones to pleasantly surprise you today. Overall a good day if you pay attention to do things you really enjoy doing.

Gemini

Today you might not be on the taste of those around you because of all this sudden seriousness of yours. You are behaving almost like work obsessed and you put pressure on everyone around.

Maybe it’s not that necessary to be all grumpy and critic today. The word of advice is to observe the holiday and to try to be reasonable with those around you.

Cancer

Things are going to get heated today, romantically speaking. Be it that your mind is nowhere at work or that you are able to dedicate the whole day to dreaming with your eyes open, be sure you will probably have one person in mind for the whole day.

Those natives whom are already committed might be faced with an extra conjugal dilemma and they should resist to that temptation because it won’t bring any good.

Leo

Today will make itself remarked by its financial auspices. Be it that you are receiving a pay check as reward to your efforts or that you are taking action in a personal endeavor that is set to bring you quite some money.

However, you should think everything through and not be overly hopeful or count on money you don’t yet have as long as the deals are not closed.

Virgo

Today you might experience some quite contradictory feelings.

On one hand you are quite in a good mood and feeling able to relax and take everything just the way it comes, on the other hand your mind cannot stop stressing about work and all kinds of responsibilities and giving you a hard time whenever you try to take a break or time for yourself.

Libra

The statement of the day seems to revolve around the need of you making yourself fully understood by those around you. Maybe you feel like you’ve lost your authority at work or in front of your family.

Not talking about these feelings and letting them to boil up will eventually result in you bursting open in the most inappropriate of times so avoid unnecessary drama.

Scorpio

This is going to be quite a busy day in terms of work and your general professional development. Be it that you get the chance to work with someone that inspires you or that you change teams and find yourself in some sort of difficulty.

Be diplomatic and try to adapt because the following month will depend on the behavior you are having these days.

Sagittarius

This day will probably show you what a great moment it is for you to take a holiday. Those who are still working will be mostly affected by this disposition towards dreaming and continuous lack of concentration.

However, it might actually be a great occasion for you to have a time out and relax, recharge your batteries before the following week.

Capricorn

This announces to be a romantic day for you, be it that you are in a relationship or you are one of those singles not looking for love at all.

Even those natives that have turned their backs to love will get their share from the arrow of Cupid as it seems that everyone will be somewhat energized by a romantic vibe making them feel all attractive and charming.

Aquarius

This is going to be quite an agitated day for you, especially in your love life. Some sort of event, be it planned or unexpected will leave you all smiling and with enough reasons to rejoice for the whole day.

You should also get in contact with everyone you need to because communication will be positively influence and you will get everything right on time.

Pisces

Today you might feel like you are on your own in an important battle and like everyone is trying to escape responsibilities. Maybe it’s just your feeling or maybe people are actually avoiding you.

Most likely it’s because of you getting involved in something that is way bigger than yourself. You might also be faced with some consequences to things you’ve done some time ago.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

If you find it hard to follow through on your plans and goals today, cut yourself some slack. You really do want to make some improvements, especially to your appearance and your physical health. However, it’s hard to summon the energy and follow-through to do anything.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

When I was young and I put too much food on my plate, my dad used to say, “Your eyes are bigger than your stomach”. Today you might feel this way about many things. Privately, you’re gung-ho to make some sweeping changes –but who has the energy?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A friend or a charitable organization might inspire you to help someone in need. There’s a strong possibility that you will contribute money or share your own possessions because you feel genuine sympathy for those who have more problems than you. (Bravo!)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Even though you are high viz. today and people seem to know personal details about your private life; nevertheless, it will be tough to muster the energy necessary to impress others with your accomplishments. Relax. Just do what you can. This is a slo-mo day for everyone.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you have strong opinions when discussing controversial subjects with others. You might want to convince someone to see your way of thinking because you identify strongly with your own beliefs. This means you want to “reform” others. Don’t be too zealous.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might want to make improvements to the way you deal with shared property or something that is jointly held. Your challenge will be to follow through on your ideas because it might be tough to convince friends or groups to go along with you. Oh well.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might attract someone to you today who has feisty, intense ideas. This could be a close friend or a partner or even a member of the general public. Although you want to put your ideas into action as well, you just don’t have the energy – not today.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might be keen to do something to improve your health today. Likewise, you might want to introduce reforms at work or how you do your job. However, instead your mind might drift off into never-never land planning future escapes to someplace appealing.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Because you feel some genuine sympathy for someone who might be going through a hard time, you’ll be generous with your time and money, and possibly the resources of someone else. (Be careful not that you don’t give away the farm.) This could relate to finding ways to benefit children or the arts.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you have ideas about how to make some improvements at home, especially to areas related to garbage, recycling, laundry or bathrooms. Don’t count on help from others because their promises might not come through. You’re on your own.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Before you step up on that soapbox to convince someone to agree with your ideas today, ask yourself if you have the energy to follow through. Initially, you might be keen to rally your troops and set them marching. Very likely, your energy will fizzle out or you’ll be distracted. (“Guilty!”)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might lend your energy to creative enterprises today, like sports events, fun activities with kids or more likely, ways to benefit these same areas. If so, you will have novel ideas about how to raise money and beat the bushes for some support for any cause that you want to endorse. People will listen to you today.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Nicola Walker (1970) shares your birthday today. You are energetic, proud and independent. You drive yourself hard (sometimes too much so). This is the last year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time to let go of people, places and things that might be holding you back. Commune with nature this year.

May 15, 2023 Moon Goddess Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the May 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on May 15 has an illumination of 19%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On May 15 the Moon is 25.24 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

All Signs

Jupiter is a planet the represents good fortune, abundance, generosity, wealth, expansion and wisdom. It takes 12 years to travel through all the 12 signs, which means Jupiter is in each sign for a year. This week, lucky Jupiter moves into Taurus. The last time it was in Taurus was from June 2011 to June 2012. Think back to remember what was enhanced, increased or improved. Where did you get busier, richer or more involved? If you were born later in your sign, correspondingly, Jupiter’s influence will be felt later. Read on to see what this placement of Jupiter means for you. After all, no amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

“Show me the money!” The good news for your sign is that you’re going to get richer! Factoid. You might get an increase to your earnings. You might get a better paying job. You might inherit. This increased wealth might also be an increase in assets or property. The only thing that is a tricky variable is when you were born. If you were born after April 5 (approximately), this increased wealth will be coming to you next year. But hey, no pouting because it is coming! In the meantime, Jupiter will continue to be in your First House this year, bringing you opportunities to gain new experiences, meet important people and enjoy good fortune for you in personal terms. What’s not to like?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

It’s fabulous that lucky Jupiter enters Taurus this week. (Yay me!) In the next 12 years, you will work to discover who you are as an individual. It will be a time when you will learn and gain new experiences. You will get to know yourself better. Specifically, in the next year, your confidence and poise will increase. Important people will be attracted to you, along with fortunate opportunities. (Bous!) Those who are born after May 5, will have these same blessings but will also focus on their spiritual world, and study metaphysics to explore inner truths.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Those of you who are born after June 5, will enjoy increased popularity with friends this year. You’ll have abundant opportunities to explore interactions with clubs, groups and professional associations. Your enthusiasm for life is strong, which is why you will be bolder and ambitious about making future goals. However, Geminis who are born before June 5, will enter a quieter and emotionally richer time in their life. Your interest in your inner world, belief systems and spiritual values will become stronger. You will also have an opportunity to plan what you want for next year, in 2024 when lucky Jupiter enters your sign for the first time since 2012. (Yippee!) Promising times ahead!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will be more popular this year because this week, Jupiter is entering your House of Friendships. This will boost your desire to get out and interact with others. You’ll want to be part of the scene and catch up on local gossip. Not only will you reach out more than usual to friends, you will enjoy increased involvement in clubs, groups and professional associations. Busy you! However, for those of you who are born after July 5, you will continue to be in the limelight, showing off your success. Opportunities for work-related travel will please you. Take a bow because you will receive acknowledgement for your efforts by getting a promotion, an award or accolades of some kind. Bravo!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

There is good news for Leo because this week. lucky Jupiter will sit at the top of your chart for the next year. This means you will appear very successful to the public. People see you as affluent, fortunate and someone who has achieved something. This is because this is your year for promotions, awards, scholarships and kudos. Take a bow! However, Leos who are born after August 5, will have to wait for these kudos and promotions to occur next year in 2024. But they will come! Oh yes! Start getting performance ready. (“It’s time for your close-up, Miss Garbo.”) Meanwhile, continue to grab opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine, the law and travel. Keep your bag packed!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This week as Jupiter changes signs, it signals a year ahead for you when you will have increased travel opportunities. Bon voyage! You will also want to explore deeper, philosophical, religious questions, which is why many of you will study more or go back to school. Opportunities in publishing, the media plus medicine and the law will be enriching. Above all, this year will expand your horizons! However, for Virgos who are born after Sept. 5, these travel opportunities and chances to explore philosophical questions and expand your world will arrive next year. In the meantime, you will benefit from the wealth of others. You might inherit. Your partner might get a bonus or an increase in income, which will also benefit you. Yes!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This week lucky, moneybags Jupiter moves into one of your Money Houses. (We like!) This is good news for you. Ka-ching! Your wealth and assets will increase perhaps through an inheritance or because your partner makes more money, which indirectly benefits you. Or you might share something with someone or have the use of something that someone else owns? Whatever it is, you will feel enriched! Take note: those of you born after Oct. 5, are still benefiting from enriched relationships and opportunities to sweeten your interactions with members of the public. This is a fabulous year to get married. (The best time in over 10 years.) Fear not, your increased wealth and benefits through others will come to you in 2024.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week Jupiter moves opposite your sign for the first time since 2011-12. This will be a marvellous year for you with partnerships and friendships. In fact, it’s the best year to get married in 12 years! Those who begin new relationships (or wed) will likely be with someone older, richer or more established. These same benefits will come next year – in 2024 to those who were born after Nov. 5. Meanwhile, for the remainder of this year, later born Scorpios will continue to have wonderful opportunities to improve your health, your job or both. Travel that is work-related will also be exciting. In fact, travel opportunities are starting right now!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Lucky, moneybags Jupiter is your ruler, which is one of the reasons you’re optimistic, breezy and keen to travel. You need to expand your world! (You don’t sit at home getting dusty.) This week Jupiter moves into your House of Employment, which will bring you all kinds of opportunities to improve your existing job or get a better one. Likewise, you can improve your health. You will also get increased joy through pets. However, Sagittarians born after Dec. 5, are still partying and on vacation! They’re enjoying romance, the arts and all that fun stuff. They can look forward to better health and a better job next year in 2024. (Mom always liked you best.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Lucky you! This week Jupiter will enter one of the most fun parts of your chart, which is why you will have marvellous opportunities this year for vacations, love affairs, romance, playful times with children and a chance to appreciate and explore the arts, the theatre and the entertainment world. This will also be an excellent time for involvement in the hospitality industry. Hey nonny nonny! However, all this fun stuff will come about next year in 2024 for those of you who are born after Jan. 5. Until then, you will enjoy opportunities to expand your home or move to a better home or make money through real estate. You might also expand your family through birth, adoption or marriage.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

As Jupiter changes signs this week, it ushers in marvellous opportunities for you to improve where you live or to enrich your world through real-estate transactions. You might expand your home through renovations or redecorating projects or you might move to something better. In the same vein (but a different arm), you might also expand your family through marriage, birth or adoption. Family life will be richer and family members will be more generous to each other. However, those who are born after Feb. 5, will enjoy these home and family opportunities next year in 2024. This year, your busy pace will continue with optimism, eagerness, and opportunities to learn. “What’s the buzz?” It’s a fun happy year for you!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

As Jupiter changes signs this week, it will travel through your House of Communications, increasing your contacts on a daily basis and giving you more opportunities for short trips plus a chance to study and learn. This year will be fast-paced, optimistic and your plans for the future will be larger and more expansive. Your ability to communicate will be more successful, which will make you happier. For those of you born after March 5, these opportunities await you in 2024. Until then, continue to explore opportunities to boost your income and get richer! Look for a better paying job or ways to make money on the side. Wealth or assets will also come to you.

Moon Alert

Avoid important decisions and shopping after 10:30 PM EDT today (7:30 PM PDT). The Moon is in Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today it will please you to quietly do someone a favour or work behind the scenes to benefit someone, especially a family member. Aries embodies the hero archetype, which is why you like to rescue and save people. And you’re good at it! (Many Aries are firefighters.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Discussions with parents and bosses might give you the green light to do some serious spending. Something might encourage you to buy something extravagant that is a bit over the top for yourself or loved one. (We all need the boost of a treat now and then.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are a caring, nurturing person and today you might have concerns about the welfare of people or someone who is far way or in another country. These feelings of sympathy might be prompted by the fact that you’ve been more active with others recently.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be clear in situations regarding how to divide or share something, especially with respect to inheritances, shared property and insurance payouts. Today you might be tempted to give away the farm. Remember not to ignore your own self-interests.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Relations with partners and close friends are warm and easy-going today due to the fact that there is a natural sense of mutual sympathy between people. This is because you have a pretty good idea of what it’s like to walk a mile in someone else’s wedgies. (That’s all it takes.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If you can help a coworker today, you will. On the other hand, someone might help you today. You might also be involved with a pet in an affectionate, special way. If dealing with health situations, be clear about what is happening. Double check details.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today, romance is the stuff of movies. Some of you might experience love at first sight. All of you will feel a bit flirtatious and romantic with whatever is going on around you. You will also feel sympathetic to the needs of children. Great day to socialize!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

In your dealings with family members today, especially a female relative, you will be generous. However, you might also want to clarify things and make people accountable. You might see ways to make improvements at home by using shared resources or shared property.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a lovely day to relate to others because you feel sociable, but you also feel confident about expressing your views, especially to partners and close friends. You might want to teach someone something or share important information. (You might feel competitive.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you see that you have the financial resources to begin a project that interests you. You’re gung-ho about something. Perhaps it relates to improving your health, or it’s something to do with a pet, or you see ways to make improvements to your job?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with fiery Mars, which makes you positive and confident. It makes you feel more courageous than usual, which is why you will take the initiative, especially in making emotional contact with others. Your energy level is high and you’re ready to start something new!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Cate Blanchette (1969) shares your birthday today. You are intelligent, street smart and imaginative. You like to put your own spin on things.

Aries

This Sunday will give you the courage to step forward and to show everyone what you are capable of. Maybe this means you will make yourself remarked in your family circle or on a date with your friends.

However, you are enthusiastic about yourself and your abilities. So why not use them to start something or to do something you’ve always feared and avoided.

Taurus

Today you might feel a bit overwhelmed by the changes around you, especially those at home. So if someone close is remodeling or trying to impose a healthier lifestyle and you don’t feel that changing vibe, you’d better avoid them.

It won’t be that easy but you could at least try it if you don’t want to offend them with your reluctance to adapt to their rules.

Gemini

This Sunday will bring you a chance of energy, you are still enthusiastic and eager to do all kinds of things but it seems that you are starting to feel a bit exhausted and you will probably acknowledge by yourself that you need some rest.

So why not think of a holiday or at least taking a few days away from any ruckus. Don’t worry you won’t be missing out on anything if you let your guard down for a bit.

Cancer

Today is going to be quite a creative day so why not take advantage of this disposition to tend to a hobby of yours or even transform it into a serious plan.

It’s important to have a mission this Sunday because otherwise you will have a tendency to get all emotional and you won’t get a chance to rest properly because of all those imaginary worries you will be making.

Leo

Today you might be experiencing the consequences of a past break up with some friends of yours. Be it that you forgot calling back someone or that you intentionally avoided someone else; be sure these things are coming to bite you.

So be creative with your excuses if you don’t want to lose the support of these people or worse get in a conflict with them.

Virgo

You might discover today that you are receiving an unexpected second chance in turning some things around. So think properly if you’ve done some harm to someone lately because you will get the chance to make amends and even turn guilt into a constructive and motivating feeling.

It would be a great thing if you would sign up for volunteering this weekend also.

Libra

You should be using this Sunday to recharge your batteries and to focus your motivation into your plans for the following week. So try to avoid any tiresome activity for today.

Use this day as a beginning point for the week and why not try to create yourself a weekend routine of analysis. Maybe you should read something interesting to cheer you up also.

Scorpio

This Sunday it seems that you will be all ambitious and stubborn. Maybe it’s not the best timing for you as you should instead be spending a quiet day in the company of your partner or your family.

Try to temper your impulses and bottle up all this energy for the beginning of the week. You don’t want to get on anyone’s nerves today.

Sagittarius

There are chances you might not enjoy this day very much as certain things beyond your control might happen and this will leave you completely baffled and disoriented.

Use this as a lesson that you should be a lot more adaptable and that you shouldn’t expect people to react in just the ways you predict they will. Avoid getting frustrated because of all this.

Capricorn

Today is going to be all about money, from shared resources to the income of each member of your family.

Be it that you are presently short of money or that you actually managed to save some, this is a great day to make an honest analysis of your situation and even decide which are the wisest means of investing or using your money.

Aquarius

This is going to be a romantic Sunday for you. Be it that you are one of those natives chasing for adventure and passion or you are one fully committed native.

Both sides will have a great time today so make sure you send children away to grandparents for the weekend. This romantic time out will give you a chance to recharge your batteries for the following week.

Pisces

This day will mark a change in your approach. Be it that you prefer to change your plans and take the following week off to enjoy a hobby of yours or that you go the opposite direction and establish a strict schedule.

You need this change of routine so embrace it and let yourself lead by your impulses, no matter where they are trying to take you.

May 14, 2023 Moon Goddess Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Visit the May 2023 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on May 14 has an illumination of 29%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On May 14 the Moon is 24.18 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

Phase Details

Phase: Waning Crescent
Illumination: 29%
Moon Age: 24.18 days
Moon Angle: 0.54
Moon Distance: 366,581.61 km
Sun Angle: 0.53

Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent.

Moon Alert

After 1 AM EDT today, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’ll be happy to do something to make your home more attractive today because this will please you. This might even spur you to invite the gang over for good food and drink so that you can show off your efforts. Let’s face it, you’re great with your hands.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a fantastic day to schmooze with others because you are friendly, affectionate and genuinely interested in what others are doing – especially neighbours, siblings and relatives. Because you show this sincere interest in them – naturally they will respond in kind. (What goes around, comes around.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Look for ways to boost your income today (or down the road) because this is entirely possible. For starters, listen to the advice of someone older or more experienced, perhaps a boss or parent. Purchases made today will also please you now and in the future.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is an excellent day to discuss problems that you have, especially with people from different backgrounds or other cultures. It’s also a good day to ask the advice of someone older, perhaps a parent, boss or mentor-like figure. It’s wise (and time-saving) to stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Secret love affairs are taking place for some of you, which is not surprising because you’re such a romantic sign! Nevertheless, be aware that people notice you now. Fortunately, they admire you. (This also means it will be tough to keep a secret.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A long-term friendship will be a rewarding experience for you today, which is why you might want to discuss any problems that exist. It’s reasonable to ask someone to live up to their obligations, especially if you’re doing your share. Hey, what’s fair is fair.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You make a fabulous impression on bosses, parents and important people today. Not only do they see you in favourable terms, they also admire your conscientiousness and reliability. They see you as someone to respect. Actually, you can take this to the bank. Use this to your advantage!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a productive day to make long-range travel plans for now and for the future because you’re eager to explore interesting places; nevertheless, you’re also ready to deal with the practical details and challenges of working out how to do something. It’s also a productive day for medical and legal matters as well as higher education.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Sit down today and finalize details about wills, inheritances and shared property because this is a productive day to do this. People will be amenable and agree to your suggestions. However, everyone will also be serious and respectful because they want to protect their resources.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Relationships that begin at this time will be characterized by sobriety and stability. They might not be demonstrative but there will be a steadiness of feeling that is something you can count on. There might also be an age difference.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a good time to discuss problems that have arisen related to your work or perhaps even your health because people are polite, supportive and yet, at the same time, they are willing to address practical matters in a serious, respectful way.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Romance with someone older might begin for some of you today. What you seek now is a reliable, stable relationship. Furthermore, you won’t make unrealistic demands on someone. This is also a good day to hone a skill or practice a sport.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer-songwriter, musician Stevie Wonder (1950) shares your birthday today. You have energy, willpower and imagination, which is a wonderful combination for success. You are also disciplined and reliable. This is a year of learning and perhaps teaching. Explore philosophies and belief systems that will get you closer to the true meaning of your life.

Aries

Today you might feel overwhelmed by all kinds of questions regarding your career or even your personal life. Whether you are having doubts if you are being on the right path or you are feeling you should be doing a lot more, make sure you can talk to someone close.

Also, don’t react like a drama queen because people will start avoiding you.

Taurus

This weekend it seems that financial resources won’t be a problem for you. Be it that you just had your pay check delivered or that you budgeted so well this month that you have some extra cash for some last minute shopping.

Plus, if you keep your mind open you might seize an opportunity of enlarging your income with the help of an activity you enjoy very much.

Gemini

Despite being the weekend it seems that this is a great moment for all natives whom are thinking of starting or already developing a business plan of their own.

Maybe you get the chance to come in contact and go for brunch with an investor or convince someone important that your idea has some future. As long as this plan is based on a passion of yours be sure you will be all convincing.

Cancer

This weekend you might be tempted on splurging a bit like there is no tomorrow and like you deserve all kinds of things.

Yes, you probably worked hard in the last weeks but this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep your head on your shoulders and avoid such childish behavior. Maybe you should think of other ways to reward your efforts.

Leo

This weekend will be all about love for you. Be it that you already have someone special in your life or that you are craving for affection.

The committed natives will be all comfortable while the singles are set to go out, be charming and adventurous and somewhat predators just like the glyph of their sign. In any case, romance is in the air and it’s here to stay.

Virgo

This Saturday comes with the need of you taking a capital decision. You might be torn apart between your partner and your budget if they ask you to make a certain purchase or maybe you will be the middle person in a conflict between your partner and your family.

Be careful which side you are taking because it seems that you will be the one most disadvantaged no matter where you stand.

Libra

This weekend has many chances to start with some far away news. Be it that you have family or friends overseas or that you are expecting important news from abroad.

All long distance communications are benefited so be sure things will go smoothly. You can also plan for a business travel in the near future in order to establish a one on one connection.

Scorpio

This weekend will give you a chance to think of yourself and of your personal life. Maybe there are things you feel like changing.

So why not gather your courage and do what you heart asks you to do. Make sure your plans aim high and don’t let anything ground you. It’s important that you also see the results of your energy being focused in one direction.

Sagittarius

This weekend has great chances to teach you an important lesson, most probably in your personal life. Be it that something unexpected will get you thinking or that talking to someone will offer you a larger perspective on life.

Use this occasion to find the means that will help you evolve, transform your mentality and grow as a human, especially spiritually speaking.

Capricorn

This weekend will probably find you in a good mood so you will have the right disposition to sit down with your better half and have an honest talk about yourself.

Talk about the things that disappoint you, things that upset you and which are your expectations. The conclusions will probably be that you both have to make an effort into getting things on the right path.

Aquarius

Today is going to be quite a revealing day that will offer you the occasion to relax and take a good look of what is going on around you.

Maybe it will also give you a sense of confidence if you try to compare your activities to those of others. However, you will be pretty sharp today so don’t hesitate to put this lucidity to good use, despite this being a weekend day.

Pisces

Today you should let yourself indulge in something you enjoy. Be it that you prepare yourself a meal that is not very healthy but that you love so much or you dedicate your day to an activity you love, be sure you will have a great time.

Avoid feeling guilty about the breach from rules because you are also allowed to pamper yourself from time to time.
