Transit Watch: New Moon In Taurus – May 3, 2011 – Solid Commitment With Love As A Base
Astrology in real life
The new moon takes place just after midnight on May 3rd at 12 degrees Taurus. The Sun and Moon aspect Pluto in Capricorn and Saturn in Libra creating a very an earthy… and interesting situation.
For one thing, Taurus and Libra are Venus-ruled. Venus is in the fighting sign of Aries and very well fortified by Mercury, Mars and Jupiter in conjunction. This sets up a love and war situation, ripe for stories to say the least.
With Pluto involved and Saturn in Libra there is nothing lite fare here. Catherine Zeta Jones and Antonio Banderas in combination come to mind.
As for setting an intention, April will have been a tumultuous month. In the aftermath this new moon will offer a chance to make a solid commitment with love as a base. Think of it like putting a solid oak cabinet down somewhere in your life.
The new moon falls in my fourth house (home and family). I will be moving the plants I started indoors in April to the backyard garden under the new moon. This represents my intention to love and solidly support and sustain my family.
Where does the new moon fall in your chart? Set your intention here!

Yeah… I need to think about this too!
Moon conjuncts my Chiron, and its going to be in my 5th house, I am going to say… LOVE baby LOVE! (Yes I dared myself saying it) I will be working on my computer graphic skills and I will be starting my final exams to secure my future! I am committing!
In my Fifth House… which is empty.
You go sunnysadge “LOVE baby LOVE!”
Yippeee =)
I will commit to planting that oak chest deep into the very bottom of our family’s psyche…
This is in my 11th house. I’ve had some new friendships starting in the past year, and a couple old ones phasing out. I better pay some attention to the girls.
It will be transiting out of 2 into 3 and trine Pluto..hmmm. The next day is Ox’s lunar return in his 7th but on the 3rd it will be transiting his 6th and conjunct his Mars, and I can’t make an intention now! What am I thinking..lol. I’m Libra, you know I’m going to change my mind a million times by May 3rd (plus there is no drama in it if I’m not panicking about not having one on the 2nd), but thanks for pointing me in the right direction 
Oh, my! It’ll be conjunct my sun/Moon and Sun/Venus midpoint, and sitting in my 7th house, square my MC/IC. Venus retro did a number on me, that I’m still trying to right myself from, in ways. (It went retrograde opposite this space, in my 1st. Maybe I’ll finally, finally feel some real peace.)
9th House and guess what: I’ll be abroad, visiting my friends in Netherland 
I love your intention Elsa! So perfect!
The new moon will be sitting exactly on my DC and conjunct my husband’s Sun. My intention is to finally get our bedroom redecorated!
Oh, YAY! Conjunct my 5th House Sun, trine my Moon. I’m going to have fun this summer. That’s my intention:)
Oh, YAY! Conjunct my 5th House Sun, trine my Moon. I’m going to have fun this summer. That’s my intention:)
Double yay? LOL
2nd house trine sun/venus conjuntion in the 6th. Hoping for a decent job.
Eek. Exact conjunct chiron in the third, nearly 4th (house cusp is at 15deg).
Chiron in taurus is about never having enough… if I can heal my debts that’ll be amazing. If I can cement my home and family life too with a love commitment, then that’d be cool too
Hm, seventh house. No relationship to speak of to set an intention about. But I guess it means that I won’t be at war with someone about love, so that’s nice.
LOL, Caroline. I hear you. I’ve been examining/obsessing about my early childhood and “planting that oak chest deep into the very bottom of our family’s psyche” resonates with me.
I so needed to hear this, Elsa. Thank you. April 2011 will go down as one of the most difficult months in my life and there are still two more weeks to go before this stellium eases out of my seventh. New moon in Taurus will be in my 8th house, trine my Mars and Pluto. I’m going to commit to work with energy (Mars) and will power (Pluto) to repair the messy financial/income tax situation caused by my husband’s ex-wife. I am praying that Jupiter (law) in Aries in my 7th helps us in court next week.
Oh, I didn’t address the “solid commitment with love as a base” intention. I’m going to commit to working on all of the above in partnership with my husband. I have been feeling sorry for myself and incredibly resentful of the damage his ex has caused me/us and my attitude has to change. Folks, you have my permission to slap me the next time I post anything self-pitying.
8th …living with passion
9th house. Probably making some reservations for honeymoon. Also, this should be a calmer period in wedding planning before the final rush, so I guess I’ll be thinking about what I’ll do after the wedding. Finally getting a degree is one of those things.
The new moon sits right on my Ascendant. I’m going to commit to loving and caring for my body in an active, aware manner. Also, losing a bit of weight. I should get this done now, before Jupiter hits and I blow up like Violet on Wolly Wonka.
Oooh, I’m looking forward to this new moon conjunct my MC same day as my Jupiter return (9th hs) which is also conjunct mars. Setting intention to make a positive fresh start expanding my vision for myself in the larger world, how I engage with others publicly, creatively, whilst nurturing my spiritual quest.
In the tenth – re-commit to work. Quincunx Neptune in the third – not sure about that.
hmmm in my empty 7th hse …not sure yet but i’m like the idea of this … “a chance to make a solid commitment with love as a base. Think of it like putting a solid oak cabinet down somewhere in your life.”
liking** not like
grrrr,,, 7th hse Taurus descendant
Almost conjunct my own Taurusmoon at 14 degr. in the third house… Trine my own Venus in Cap in the twelfth house (so I hope my creativity, communication and writing will come out), but I don’t like Saturn being involved, quite exact at 12 degr Libra… (also because my radix Saturn is exactly opposite my radix Venus). I I could make a wish, it would be two (never enough with Taurus moon…): atart to make money with writing/creativity or finally finding the right person to fall in love with and make a commitment… Anyone any idea how this new moon setting could turn out for me??!
Ps: don’t like T. Saturn being involved because its 150 degrees from my moon And in the 8th house, and will be square my radix Venus and Saturn for some months to go. I think this makes me a bit isolated and unloved (almost don’t dare to say… frustrated…)
9th House! Hope it’s good!!
Taurus rising and midheaven in Capricorn. Does this mean I get to beautiful and rich?
Interesting that I have recently felt guilty about not paying enough attention to my sweet hubby lately. Correcting the error of my ways, I’ve been going more places with him (he’s a Gemini) and he seems to appreciate our togetherness.
My husband’s bully ex wife has located me on the Internet, and is making mean remarks. She is remarried and still keeps coming around me whenever she can so she can bully me twenty five years later! She’s like a black hole in the fabric of society.
I wonder if that could be something to do with Pluto?
In 6th conjunct my Mars. I’m seeing my bf that night, so we’ll see what happens…
I’d like to install an oak cabinet with his name on it, but alas he often seems too busy with work for me.
will be square Ox’s Jupiter and trine mine. My intention is to follow through with purging all the ties I have to the romantic dead in my life. There are things I’ve been holding on to that obviously have some sort of emotional attachment from me and connected to the past. I’m ready to get rid of them now and move on…solidifying my commitment in my current relationship.
This will be in my 3rd house.
