May 2019 Astrological Events: May 4 – New Moon in Taurus
We cleanse and replenish as we celebrate new beginnings with a New Moon in the sign of opulent Taurus. The New Moon is when the Sun and Moon are aligned, with the Sun and Earth on opposite sides of the Moon. The New Moon is the first lunar phase, when the Moon and Sun have the same ecliptic longitude. As the Moon turns its dark side toward us, turn yourself inward and away from the draining energy of others. It is a time of healing.
May 2019 Astrological Events: May 6 – Eta Aquariid Meteor Shower
Mercury enters Taurus. The Eta Aquariids is a meteor shower associated with Halley’s Comet. The meteors we currently see as members of the Eta Aquariid shower that separated from Halley’s Comet hundreds of years ago. The current orbit of Halley’s Comet does not pass close enough to the Earth to be a source of meteoric activity. The Eta Aquariids get their name because their radiant appears to lie in the constellation Aquarius, near one of the constellation’s brightest stars, Eta Aquarii. About 30 shooting stars an hour should be seen in clear skies for the yearly Eta Aquarid meteor shower.

The Moon at perigee. Annual meteor showers arise when the Earth passes through streams of debris left behind by comets and asteroids. The Moon’s distance from Earth varies throughout its monthly orbit because the Moon’s orbit isn’t perfectly circular. Every month, the Moon’s eccentric orbit carries it to apogee – its most distant point from Earth – and then to perigee – the Moon’s closest point to Earth – roughly two weeks later.
