At this new moon in Taurus on Friday, May 19, 2023, we are feeling more able to be slow, stable, secure, thrifty, and self-reliant in a more masterful way.

Because of that, we are now trying to do more things in our lives with this different approach that would truly make us happy.

However, that is difficult to do because we are too much in our heads, overthinking the matter, worried what other people will say, or detached from the situation.

This is causing a lot of inner and possibly outer frustration — and making us feel stuck.

But instead of letting up and taking it easy on the situation, we push it more, making matter worse.

Because of that, I recommend that we hold off on taking bigger moves to do something we enjoy at this time and just continue to go slow and focus on building more of that confident and secure approach we were previously working on.

Here are a few questions to help you reflect about your experience and handle it better. Feel free to answer the questions privately to yourself or in the comment section below.

1. What are you trying to do this week that is more, new, or different from week’s prior that you feel will make you happy?
2. In what ways are you too in your head about this thing, overthinking things, too concerned about other people’s opinions, or too detached in this situation? Which one of those do you tend to gravitate towards more?
3. What were you focusing on prior to this thing that is coming up this week? These are the things/themes that came up during Eclipse Season/Mercury retrograde the past month or so.
4. How can you get back to those things you were previously focusing on?
5. How can you calm your thoughts down and be more present in the body?
