New Moon in Taurus
New Moon | Taurus | May 7, 2024
The new moon in Taurus arrives on May 7th 8:21pm Pacific as a welcome breath of fresh air and new beginnings, after a harrowing month of April’s skies. We are beginning to pick up the pieces, find meaning in the madness, and set fresh intentions.
New moons always signify a fresh start, and in Taurus, we are beckoned to work with themes of grounding, stability, safety, self worth, boundaries, and structure. These Taurean themes can help us to integrate and process what can only be described as an incredibly chaotic month of astrology.
This new moon comes in alongside Uranus and Jupiter (who are still very much conjunct) inviting us to integrate the ground breaking paradigm shifts we experienced in late April. We very likely have a brand new perspective on something, and while the downloads may still be coming in, we need to use this new moon to work with the body, and the Earth element, to materialize the mental shifts. This new moon is a beautiful moment for a very hands-on tangible practice around embodying or integrating the lessons and changes you’ve experienced recently.
The new moon’s ruler, Venus, is also in Taurus where she loves to be. Setting new intentions in the realms of love and wealth is a great way to work with the blossoming potential of this new moon. For those who have experienced relationship shifts over the last month, this is a beautiful opportunity to get clear on the kind of relationships you desire and set intentions to cultivate that within yourself. Specifically working with themes of stability, safety, consistency, and worthiness in the realm of relating is encouraged.
During this new moon, Mercury has just made a final pass by Chiron — opening our awareness to the core wound we need to face in order to have the thing that we most deeply desire. Facing that wound with gentle and nurturing healing is the medicine Taurus brings. Coming into our bodies and soothing our nervous systems after the cosmic lightning strike of the Jupiter and Uranus conjunction is essential for our healing and integration.
