This This lunation arrives at 25° Taurus, an angle that blends Taurus’ persistence with Aries’ bold initiative. Sun, Moon and Mercury are conjunct Uranus in Gemini, making us expecting shifts or breakthroughs in communication and mindset.Sun and Moon are accompanied by Ceres (acting as a scout planet) and Mercury. The goddess of agriculture governs the concepts of “feeding” (in the physical and in the emotional sense), motherhood, family relationships, and transitions among women.
One step beyond (the chart) !
A supermoon refers to a New Moon that coincides with the perigee of the Moon, meaning the point in its elliptical orbit where it is closest to the Earth. This astronomical phenomenon occurs about three to four times a year, often consecutively.
As it carries an amplified energy, this NM leads us to the following triangle:
*Stability and Abundance
*Pleasure and simplicity
* Growth from both sides (mind and body)
It invites us to accept a return to practical behaviours, simplifying clutter, and making steady, consistent choices rather than forcing rapid transformation. For now, let’s forget the words “fast and furious”.
Venus in Gemini... the planet of love and values resides in the dual, air sign of the Twins, ruled by Mercury. This position makes individuals intellectual, curious, and playful in their approach to romance, prioritizing mental stimulation and witty conversation over deep emotional intensity or static commitment.
Love is in the air but will be find on the ground later on!
The Stellium in Aries... the Martian energy has been compartmented. Let’s have in mind the picture of a train with people travelling in different compartments.The Warrior (Mars) travels with the Wounded Healer (Chiron), creating a powerful dynamic for transforming pain into purpose.
Vesta conjunct Neptune merges the will of sacred devotion and focus with spirituality, dreams, and illusions, creating a potent aspect defined by profound spiritual depth and heightened intuition.
Pallas conjunct Neptune represents a powerful fusion of strategic intelligence and intuitive insight, blending the analytical, problem-solving nature of Pallas with the dreamy, spiritual, and imaginative qualities of Neptune. This aspect creates a visionary mind capable of perceiving hidden patterns, generating innovative solutions, and integrating logical reasoning with subconscious wisdom.
Saturn sits in the middle of the wagon centralizing and structuring all the potentials of the sign. The Lord of the karma is helped by his team mates, providing a dynamic interplay of responsibility and passion, of discipline and independence.
* Spot 1: half of the chart is empty of planets !
From Leo to Capricorn, there are no planets in the signs, only fictive points. This makes the zodiac half empty or half full.This peculiar aspect should also be considered as an area of shade, maybe like an eclipse, showing us that the signs with planets might be “fed” by the inner potential of their counter part (sign in opposition).
Spot 2: the Moon Void of Course (VOC) and the importance of the void
A Void of Course Moon (VOC) occurs when the Moon makes its final aspect in one zodiac sign and does not make another major aspect before entering the next sign. January, April, and May 2026 are the busiest months for Moon void of course windows, each featuring 14 VOC periods. These months offer frequent opportunities to pause and recalibrate, making them important for timing sensitive activities carefully.
From 17th May 03.01am to 17th May 04.23am the moon will be VOC and shifts from
Taurus to Gemini.
* Spot 3: the conjunction Juno Pluto R in Aquarius
This aspect representing a period of collective transformation regarding marriage, alliances, unions and betrayals. Pluto retrograde shows us the need for a re- evaluation of power dynamics and control within partnerships, the need for a transformation and a mutation in the fields that block us to develop ourselves.
It is probably the break point where personal stories become collective and the moment where a crisis involves a deep transformation.
Song of the Supermoon: Games without frontiers (Peter Gabriel)
.........If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers, war without tears
Games without frontiers, war without tears .........
Fruitful listening :
