The New Moon in Taurus
Time to slow down and get grounded…
The New Moon arrives this weekend, on Saturday 16th May, in the earthy and sensual sign of the bull. This is a deeply grounding lunation - one that asks us to slow down long enough to reconnect with what truly sustains us.
It’s all about rooting, stabilising, nourishing, and creating safety for growth.
But not the kind of growth that comes through chaos or urgency. Often, the most powerful transformations happen quietly — through consistency, presence, devotion, and the way we choose to care for ourselves day after day.
There’s a strong Taurean presence in the sky right now, and because Taurus is ruled by Venus, this moon also carries themes of self-worth, receiving, pleasure, and a feeling of being “enough”. We’re invited to connect with our bodies, our values, and our relationship to rest, pleasure and stability.
At the same time, Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is continuing to stir deeper collective shifts beneath the surface, asking us to reflect on the ways we give our power away — and what it means to build a life that feels genuinely aligned.
This New Moon is an invitation to return to yourself and what truly matters to you. It’s a reminder;
To create foundations that feel sustainable rather than performative.
That healing can be sensual, grounded and beautifully ordinary.
To reconnect with nature, nourish your body properly, romanticise your routines, or simply allow yourself to soften.
Some questions you might want to ask yourself before setting your monthly intentions:
What am I ready to cultivate from here?
What deserves my energy, my attention, my devotion?
And what would it look like to build a life that feels as good on the inside as it appears on the outside?
This Taurus New Moon is your reminder that there is power in slowing down.
