New Moon in Taurus - May 7, 2024
We’re deep in the cozy, comfy, sensual vibes of Taurus season, and this New Moon will only intensify those vibes. It’s the perfect time for a reset and to luxuriate a bit with some self-pampering, ordering takeout, or having some sexy time, partnered or solo. Combined with Pluto retrograde, which prompts us to slow down and reflect on our lives, this New Moon is a great reminder to take a deep breath and tune back into the most important things.
It's also a great time to reassess your goals and action plan. Aries inspired us to go for the gold and put maximum effort behind everything, but now Taurus is saying, “Hey, let’s figure out how to channel all that energy.” The intentions you set this month will help fuel the inspiration for the warmer months as we approach the Solstice in a few weeks.
The New Moon in Taurus heralds fresh starts, particularly in the areas of security and stability. This could manifest as new financially beneficial opportunities, job offers, or advancements in material prosperity, as Taurus is closely aligned with these aspects of our lives.
Five planets are in the sign of Taurus now, which brings an overall sense of grounding and rationality to the chaos we’ve been experiencing lately. This is our first New Moon since Eclipse Season, so it really carries the vibes of a fresh start. And with Saturn also in Taurus, the work that you’re putting in now will pay off in the long run.
As we progress through the Waxing Moon phases, we’ll also experience a Jupiter cazimi on May 19th, encouraging us to take a leap of faith. Take that into consideration as you make your New Moon in Taurus intentions.
