New Moon May 4th 2000.

The chart for this momentous New Moon coinciding with the planetary cluster or stellium in Taurus is shown below.

All the planets out to Saturn are gathered with the Sun and Moon on one side of the Earth. A series of planetary conjunctions occurs starting with Mercury and Venus meeting in late Aries on April 28th. The period of the Stellium influence can be considered to act from April 30th 2000 at 09-14 GMT and to extend to May 19th 2000 at 20-18. These are the times between which the grouping of planets occupy less than twenty degrees of separation. This thin band of zodiacal space extends through the sign of Taurus.This period is followed by another period of intensity around the time of the next New Moon opposite Pluto on June 2nd.

This New Moon is midway between the Solar Eclipses of Feb. 5th 2000, and the Solar eclipse of July 31st 2000. It occurs two months before the next solar eclipse on July 1st 2000. Poised between eclipse seasons, the time of these conjunctions symbolises a manifestation of powerful new astrological 'energies'.

The New Moon conjunct all planets out to Saturn is square Uranus, there is a defiant awkwardness on the world stage, rebellious conflicts, a lack of true concessus.

The Message is mainly one of new beginnings and new situations. This time is a richly fertile breading ground for new events and experiences. Serious developments relating to money, resources and the world perception of finance and security, and ecological conservationism will stem from this time. Astrologically much importance is attached to this period. There is a wealth of energy. The manifestations of years ahead may be traced to this period of their seeding time.
