Taurus New Moon May 5th

Taurus New Moon sometimes seems to be the cue for a lot of pseudo-spiritual bullshit about attracting personal wealth, but this lunation is exactly square Nessus in Aquarius.

The New Moon takes place at 15° Taurus 22′24″ tomorrow at 12:18:13 UT. Minor planet chart is here. It is conjunct asteroid Hephaistos and centaur Thereus; square Nessus and Nemesis in Aquarius; square Hebe in Leo and opposite Pandora in Scorpio.

Nessus is a centaur planet whose elongated orbit crosses those of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. He is most often associated with the dynamics of power and abuse, and in Aquarius is about those situations we are all collectively responsible for.

The symbolism of the orbit implies that Nessus somehow brings Neptune’s energy back in towards Saturn, where it can manifest in more concrete form. In which case you could say the deeper causes of what Nessus represents come from Neptune; big fat boundary issues and/or a lot of delusion and denial. All forms of abuse and neglect could be viewed that way.

Neptune of course has a positive side too, but it is impossible to access in the presence of the ego. The ego is the one that thinks it owns its money. Hence the camel and the needle. If everyone and everything in this world is part of you (the real Neptune), then taking care of all the parts, none more important than any of the others, automatically becomes the unified goal, and personal ownership cannot be conceived of. In theory Nessus could go for that, particularly in Aquarius.
