New Moon in Taurus 16.5.26

Moon in Taurus Sun in Taurus, Venus and Uranus in Gemini

A powerful new moon in Taurus is felt with the intense energy build up over last few days. Taurus relates to money (value) and what we build as our day to day life. This is also the first new Moon in Taurus that has the planet Uranus conjuncting it and the last time this happened was 1942. This Moon is a doorway to create a new way of living. The Sun also conjuncting Mercury in Gemini and Venus squaring Neptune makes us aware of what we thought our dreams were and how we built them in the last seven years. We also have Saturn in Aries and the fire of Mars gives us the impetus to make changes over the coming days and weeks. The Nodes also square Uranus in Gemini and we may find we are becoming aware of the lessons learned over the last few years and have come to terms with why. The period of growth of Uranus in Taurus was a master class in how you value yourself and the world we live in and now as the new Moon in Taurus conjuncts Uranus we are sparked by new ideas of what the future may hold by our heart felt desire to either change directions or value the path we find ourselves on. The following are how each sign may find their directions under this new Moon.

ARIES

This new Moon in Taurus is an eye opener for you Aries. You are looking back on how you have grown over the last seven years while Uranus was in Taurus and how you earned a living perhaps or how you valued what you did. Saturn is still in your sign with your ruling planet Mars and you are beginning to see you need to put down foundations for what you see as your own future and those you love. You need a tangible way of moving forward and this Moon is making you see the bigger picture of the past and so many possibilities for what you see as the future. Chiron moves from your sign this year and it has been there since 2019 making you all too aware of what that wound may be. As it moves into Taurus in September and transits back into your sign in 2027 before finally moving on. These next two years are the healing of something very deep for you. It has to do how you see yourself and your place in the world and maybe, just maybe accepting that you deserve so much more than you allowed yourself before. Yes you do Aries!

TAURUS

This is your new Moon Taurus! Your ruling planet Venus is in Gemini with Uranus and you may find you want to say so much and speak your truth! But take it easy and do so without going too deep into old patterns. Its time to launch yourself into a new world you have been creating and you didn’t quite accept that you were who you presented to the world and now you realise it was a form of imposter syndrome you were experiencing. You have had to validate yourself every step of the way. But the one person that has to believe in what you are doing is YOU. Take heart under this new Moon that a lot of old wounds are healing and you have carried a lot in the name of ‘doing the right thing.’ Let this Moon shine a light on a hope or a dream you have too Taurus! Chiron will be transiting your own sign this summer and it will make you aware of what you held and why. Was it a lesson? Or was it just part of something bigger you knew was the bigger picture that comes into play now. As you know Taurus you are a fixed sign and sometimes that means you dig your heels in and keep going – maybe far longer than you should at times. But it has also been an asset in the last few years and a big learning curve for you to see what you want in the future and to make it real.

GEMINI

This Moon feels as if it is the start of a new journey for you Gemini. Your ruling planet is in Taurus where this Moon occurs. Communication is everything to you. But you are joined by Uranus – the higher octave ruler of your own sign too. This is like the higher mind with you now. Together with your own ruling sign in Taurus you can make it a solid foundation for the life you want but you have to communicate it with an earthiness your Air sign finds hard at times. You have time to get all of your thoughts in order before you communicate them to the outer world Gemini and for you that is good as you need to have them clear in your own mind before launching what you want to next! You know this is a big change for you with Uranus in your sign and it will spark you in a totally new way. Communication becomes clearer but also it may happen in new innovative ways that you may have resisted! Trust the process and this new journey as you have waited for it!! You may surprise other by what you suddenly decide to do in the coming days, weeks and months! But that is something that will spark you and bring you the excitement about the future you as an air sign need!

CANCER

This Moon is potent for you Cancer. You find an earthiness to this aspect of yourself that you try to ground in and surrender to but you may be torn between emotions. Mercury in the sign of Taurus under this Moon makes you want to communicate in an earthy way perhaps or look at how you communicate your emotions and feelings. The Moon is you! It is everything you look to and are stirred by. Home and family are always close to your heart to Cancer but you find under this Moon you are thinking about the past nostalgically and wondering about decisions you made. Put them to rest now and start a new journey but with all of the lessons you have learned and grown through. You have a lot of wisdom and it is something that has been earned from feeling so much and so deeply. How you value yourself, and money/career comes up to look at and you may decide to change how you viewed money and release a lot of the guilt you felt about it! It is ok to be abundant! It is ok to be valued and it is ok to be entirely authentically YOU.

LEO

The Sun in Taurus has you keeping grounded in day to day life Leo. Doing very day to day things and looking at how you work and what your career does for you! Does it make you happy to into work each day? It may be that you want to change things in the coming year Leo and you may be finding you want to make major changes in how you work and what you want to achieve. Home is important with your Sun in Taurus as you want it to feel like a place you can retreat to from the outside world and you may find you are doing that! You are creating something warm and inviting as your home base perhaps or that is your intention! You want it to be the vision you have for the future and it will.

VIRGO

Your ruling planet Mercury is in Taurus Virgo and you are finding this Moon is stirring you to help you believe that you finally know what you want! You are communicating in a grounded way and you are trusting the process of just saying what you really feel. This is a big learning curve you have had over the last seven years Virgo and with Uranus moving into Gemini you feel the shift. Mercury is conjunct the Sun over this new Moon and you are moving into this new Moon with a new mindset. You want to plan ahead and to see what you want to create and this may lead you to journaling or writing down what you want to let go of too Virgo – be it something physical or even a mindset. You have a hidden side to you and you know it and it is something where you hold your heartfelt dreams Virgo. Let them be part of your manifestations this year as you can create something beautiful!

LIBRA

This Moon may have you trying to balance your emotions about the past Libra. The learning curve of how you grew over the last seven years and the journey of Uranus in Taurus. You share the same ruling planet Venus and you now know that the people, places and things you wanted in the past may not necessarily be part of your future plans. Keep that in mind if you get a pang of guilt and see the situation for what it was – learning and growing for everyone concerned. The communication you so easily do Libra is also your gift. You can communicate with others and lift their spirits by being you. But now it is time to share the same kindness with yourself! Not to be too hard on decisions in the past and to see how you have actually achieved something you never thought you could – balance!

SCORPIO

Your opposite sign, Taurus, is this new Moon and you are finding some of your shadows are coming out into the Moonlight Scorpio. You have been clearing out the closets of your mind perhaps and all the little worries that hid there. You are also finding your two ruling planets Mars and Pluto hold a key position under this Moon. It will stir up how you may have hid from the world certain aspects of your character for fear of being seen or being rejected. This old wound may not even be from this lifetime – if you believe in past lives. You may be having dreams about how those lives played out and rather than fear what they mean you realise that actually they have been resolved by the journey you have undertaken in this lifetime. It is time to not stand in the shadows Scorpio and to take the risk of being seen and, yes, being rejected if it means its not something for you. But thats the risk. And you are one who can take risks now. Pluto in Aquarius – retrograde for the next five months or so will ensure you go into every nook and cranny to uncover the truth of who you are. Then you will want to be seen and you will not be looking for acceptance as you have finally accepted the role of who you are!

SAGITTARIUS

Your ruling planet, Jupiter, is sextile this new Moon Sagittarius. This is a good placement and emphasises your need to value who you are and how you are seen. This Moon means that to every sign but for you it means so much more. Not having to prove yourself to those closest to you or even wanting to! You just want to enjoy day to day life and to be comfortable with who you have become Sagittarius. It has been a long time coming and you find the new Moon has made you look at so many events of the past that you now think you understand the patterns of what was created, and indeed how you coped or reacted. This has enabled you consider others and their role in certain challenges in the past but also consider your own role as peace keeper and how you yourself just want that peace as part of life. Joy is part of Jupiter and it expands it! But you have to claim it Sagittarius and own it as yours!

CAPRICORN

You have felt this approaching new Moon for a while Capricorn. It has stirred something in you that has made you evaluate life and your role in it. You value the journey you are having and perhaps finally see where you fit in now after years of trying to find the right place, the right person or the right situation. You realise those situations you found yourself in are ones you tried to build your foundations on – being ruled by Saturn. You wanted to build firm foundations in whatever you did. But now you see the future as one you create each day and directly from your own heart and what you love! This has been a game changer and one you want to continue and you will! The move of Chiron from Aries into Taurus this year will also see you understand the lessons of a journey and the immense leap of faith it was. You can see the wound that it was as a gift now that it shows itself to be the great revelation of a softer side of your nature and your heart!

AQUARIUS

This Moon has nudged you Aquarius. It has stirred everyone but for you it niggles certain aspects of your past and the choices also. You are going through old memories again and that has been an on going thing over the past few months but for you the Moon is asking you to relinquish the patterns of taking on responsibility for everyone else. For being part of humanity as Aquarius is but also being an individual with needs and knowing it is your birth right to enjoy life! The new world is something you take seriously Aquarius! But also you are allowed to enjoy a new way of living that has not been part of your world in the past. New beginnings with this new Moon in Taurus and your ruling planet Uranus conjunct the Sun in Gemini it will spur you to communicate in a deeper way not just with yourself but others. You want people to know this new person you have become and it might sound risky but its all or nothing now Aquarius! And you are one sign that knows you go all the way with everything!

PISCES

Your ruling planet Neptune is squared to Venus in Gemini! You may find communication tricky under this new Moon Pisces. Leave it for a few days into next week if you want to confront a situation or a person. Even better write it down and pull no punches. Just get it out and then you will feel the relief of not carrying it around in thoughts or worries. Neptune also sextiles Uranus in Gemini and you can have lightbulb moments when it comes to communication of the good kind. Make those self talks you have with yourself positive though and trust any divine communciations you have too! What you do matters Pisces, be it as a career or just every day things. Make it matter to you and be honoured for it as well and trust that the lessons of the past have been learned also. As for a lot of us this Moon is making us all look at how we earned our living and why we did it perhaps. Does it bring joy? If not then maybe it was a learning curve or a growing in nature of our personality. Whatever captures your heart is what you move forward with Pisces. It does not matter what it is – only that you cannot bear Not to do it!

Happy New Moon in Taurus!!
