SATURDAY, 4/30/2022

Today, there’s a solar eclipse in Taurus, and Venus and Jupiter connect in Pisces. And, because Venus is the planetary ruler of Taurus and is in its exalted sign of Pisces, this is an extremely fortunate connection. It’s a wonderful time in which love, money, and relationships can thrive.

All eclipses can bring things to light that we haven’t seen before, but this isn’t a bad energy, especially since the cosmos is sending us a lot of helpful vibes. The need to expand our desires and hearts is helping us commit to others, and we want to give relationships and partnerships our all.

Creativity and charity are heightened, making this a great way to end the month. It takes us into May with a lot of positive energy that we haven’t felt in a long time. Everything feels like a dream and could actually be one.

The only caution is that you might want to give more than you can afford, which is why it’s important to rein in the spending and set boundaries with people. As long as you’re able to keep those two things in check, today can be a blissful time to embrace all of the wonderful aspects of life.

The New Moon is ruled by an exalted Venus, tightly conjunct optimistic Jupiter and in an opportunity-producing sextile to transformative Pluto. In some sense or another, this fosters the development of independent spirits, tempered by responsibility and the recognition of our need for others. Certainly, there are very real and significant temptations that could derail the growth process if we become to self-indulgent or focus too much on mundane material wants. Nonetheless, the promise of today’s New Moon is that we can avoid mindless conformity while still coordinating effectively with others towards a common purpose. Perhaps the biggest danger is simple naivete which may cause some to miss the importance of our unique, individual perspective.

Nectar is there for you, and Hummingbird Spirit’s message is that wherever you put your attention, there your energy flows. Are you focused on the sweetness or on finding something better somewhere else, always yearning and feeling that life is not enough and you are not enough?

All you seek is right here, right now. Appreciate the present, and you will see that you are where you need to be and enjoying what you are entitled to enjoy in this timeless and perfect moment.
