New Moon in Taurus
Astrology Report: Taurus Season

Napping as a sport! Abundance! Sensuality!

The New Moon in Taurus arrives on May 7th at 20:22 PST / 23:22 EST. This new moon is bringing unexpected surprises of the beneficial kind. The moon is exalted in Taurus. It has abundant Venus and Jupiter energy with Uranus to shake things up. What a beautiful spring awakening! Keep an eye on anything money, love, friendship or creativity–especially if you have any Taurus placements.

This new coincides with both Saturn in Pisces and Uranus in Taurus. Saturn is brining some stability and long-term planning to our lives while Uranus is keeping us on our toes and showing us some unexpected twists and turns.

However, on the flip side, since there are so many planets in Taurus right now, you can expect an extra-heaping dose of typical Taurus energy: stubbornness! Again, since surprises are also in the forecast, do your best to bend instead of resist. Change isn’t always a bad thing, no matter what your brain tries to tell you! Try to keep an open mind and let yourself flow with whatever comes up.

New Moon in Taurus Theme: Sensuality

Taurus is the sign I always associate with self-care! Think: bubble baths, massage, and really good food. Indulge in your senses and let yourself just enjoy the art of feeling good.

New Moon in Taurus Theme: Prosperity

This New Moon in Taurus isn’t just about introspection. It holds the potential for abundance and prosperity! The earthy energy of Taurus encourages us to tap into our creativity, embrace sensuality, and build a life of abundance. By learning to flow with the universe’s rhythm, we can unlock new opportunities and embark on exciting journeys that lead to success. Remember, progress is key. As long as we’re willing to move forward and leave the past behind, prosperity awaits.

New Moon in Taurus Ritual Ideas:

Since this New Moon is happening close to the Jupiter conjunction, this is a great moment to manifest money. Do a simple money ritual with bay leaves (since they’re associated with money and wealth. Add a bay leaf to your altar or write down an amount you want to manifest and burn the bay leaf. Or light green or purple candles if you don’t have bay leaves.

New Moon in Taurus Journal Prompts:

What do you need to leave behind you?

What Is A New Moon?

A new moon occurs when the moon and the sun meet at the same spot in the zodiac.

From our human perspective, it’s when the moon goes dark in the sky, signalling the end of one lunar cycle and the beginning of another.

Think of it as a cosmic blank page: the time to sit still and write our desires for the next lunar cycle.

New moons typically happen once per month (occasionally twice, as there are 13 moons a year, not 12).

New moons present us with an opportunity to set intentions for the next 28 days (& for the next 6 months–until the corresponding moon). It’s also a time of low-energy (although you may not feel this physically). It’s also a wonderful time to check in with your intuition, emotions, and dreams.

New Moon Theme Manifestation

New Moons are a time of new beginnings, which is why it’s best to start with a way to cleanse our auras to bring freshness, excitement, and inventiveness to our lives. Light a red candle to evoke your desires and write your aspirations on a bay leaf (they are amazing to help manifest wishes and creativity, as well as attract positive energy) with a permanent marker. Then, light the bay leaf on fire with the candle to bring your hopes to fruition.

New moons are typically a great time for setting intentions and goals for manifestation.

As such, it’s also a great time to go inward and reflect. How was your progress in the last month? Where do you need to take stock and change?

It’s also always wise to take the theme of the new moon into consideration as you do this.

As for when to set your intentions, within four days before/after will work just fine.

Taurus Season: April 19th-May 20th

Indulgence! Relaxation! Stubbornness! Naps!

The sun moves into Taurus at 10 AM EST/1PM PST, bringing a bit more chill into our life after fiery Aries season. This is your permission slip to slooooow down and enjoy the finer things in life: gourmet food, luxury clothing, or even just a ton of cozy blankets and pillows on your sofa.

Theme for Taurus Season: Structure To Support Your Goals

While Aries is all about passion and striking out in new (often surprising) directions, Taurus is all about creating a safe foundation to build on. Where do you need some support in your life? What can you add or subtract in order to help you build your goals for this year? With Jupiter also joining Uranus in Taurus on the 21st, this season is extra ripe for planting seeds and setting yourself up to achieve what you want!

Theme for Taurus Season: Self-Care

There’s no one better at self-care than sturdy Taurus. Now’s the perfect time for all those little rituals that make you feel great. Bubbles baths (of course!) but also massages, DIY facials, buying new perfume, etc. Even if you’re not the kind of person who does this a lot, Taurus is begging you to slow down and get sensual-even if just with yourself.

Theme for Taurus Season: Rigidity

Taurus is sturdy, yes, but that can often translate into stubbornness. Stay self-aware this season and try to think of the big picture. Don’t get stuck out of fear or comfort! Sometimes we have to get uncomfortable and do something new in order to create what we really want.
