A Cazimi Taurus New Moon and the triple conjunction of Mars, Chiron, and Eris…
The New Moon on Saturday, May 16, at 4:01 EDT, which occurs at 25 Taurus 58, is special for a variety of reasons. First, it is a Cazimi (= In the heart of the Sun) New Moon. This means that from our geocentric perspective, the Moon is positioned at the same longitude and declination of the Sun. This is also what occurs during a Solar Eclipse, yet because the Moon has an elliptical orbit, it is sometimes closer to Earth (perigee) and at other times it is further away (apogee).
Another factor is that this New Moon occurs at the midpoint of two Full Moons occurring in May. The first of these was on May 1, and the next, the culmination of this Cazimi New Moon, occurs on May 31. This second New Moon of the month on the 31st is popularly referred to as a Blue Moon. Because the Lunation Cycle is 29.5 days, it is easy to see how there can be two Full Moons in a solar calendar month, each consisting of 30 + days.
This also lends to the fact that in 2026, there are 13 Full Moons. Such events get some people quite excited and activates the ‘the calendar should be 13-months’ network, with proclamations of how ‘they’ created a 12 month calendar to trap us… Based on erroneous notions that the lunation Cycle is 28 days, which it is not, and is 29.5 days does not seem to land in the reasoning of this loosely knit network and it is effectively dismissed.
Fitting the 365.25-day year cycle in the 360-degrees of a circle is an ancient challenge. The Egyptians are credited with measuring the 29.5-day cycle almost 7,000 years ago and they are also credited with measuring the Saros Cycle, which is remarkably sophisticated and very ancient, both of which predate the 12 Sign Zodiac. That the Lunation and Saros Cycle were foundational to prediction is also quite lost on wide-eyed popular notions of zodiacal constellations as foundational to Astrology. But common sense and history too clearly reveal that it is founded on the Sun, Moon and Earth relationship, or the Lunation Cycle, which also therefore constitutes the first calendars.
Yes, calendars precede Astrology and were instrumental in its development. But the myth that the ancients were romantic stargazers as opposed to paying close attention to the Moon and the seasonal cycle, has gripped the popular imagination associated with the manipulations of the evil elite. Imagination has a way of swaying unexamined minds anchored into complex constellations of intellectual conviction, which once established, is often not easily adjusted.
Returning to the Cazimi New Moon on May 16, it is also the first New Moon to host Uranus in Gemini since its re-entry on April 25, to now officially complete its uninterrupted 7-year cycle through the sign of the twins. Given the current status of global politics and the balance of power undergoing such a major overhaul, the next 7 years are destined to be powerful alright.
By the time Uranus enters Cancer in 2032-33, the global gameboard and the realities of modern society, especially associated with rapidly emerging economic changes like digital currencies, will probably prove significant indeed.
Another key feature of this Cazimi New Moon is the fact that Mars will not only be exactly conjunct Chiron at 28 Aries 24, but both are also exactly conjunct Eris, which is one of the new planets existing far beyond the orbit of Pluto. Symbolically sharing association with Aries, Aquarius, and Scorpio (thus revealing a combination of all three signs), Eris represents themes of discord, rebellion, and transformation, challenging the status quo and encouraging individuality and self-expression. It serves as a catalyst for change, pushing individuals to confront hidden truths and embrace their authentic selves.
While there is much to say about this tight, triple conjunction, it basically refers to the process of increased self-honesty to more fully awaken to a clearer and stronger sense of authenticity. Chiron’s contribution could manifest as a sense of vision quest and a process of healing associated with conditioned perspectives, attitudes, and values that effectively cause stress and related issues like various forms of disease, inasmuch as the social conditioning has effectively alienated people from their authentic nature.
Thus, outer synchronicities will manifest as more people willing to venture beyond traditional attitudes, values, and experiences to explore and awaken latent aspects of their individuality that their social conditioning and adaptation largely prevented up until now. This will likely occur on individual and collective levels. In both cases, collective uprisings and protests are likely, and a whole new level of inspired determination to think outside the box, again at both personal and collective levels.
This week’s Horoscope will be based on an emphasis of the Cazimi Taurus New Moon and the triple conjunction of Mars, Chiron, and Eris.
While life can seem random and relatively chaotic with multiple unknowns, affirmation that you can intuitively align with and which reveals purpose, timing and possibility, and which guides a sense of self-actualization, can prove grounding and empowering indeed.
