New Moon in Taurus

17th May 2026 at 06:01 AEST 

Once again, the new moon brings opportunity to reassess, renew and begin again. In the earth sign of Taurus, the energy of this moon will inspire a down-to-earth approach tinged with sensuality and the need for comfort. 

Taurus is ruled by the planet of love, Venus so pleasure and beauty abound in its embrace. The experience of this is not defined by superficial values, or expectations. It is found in moments of connection, of spontaneity and in a deeper understanding of true beauty. Pleasure brings us into the moment, the taste of something delicious, the warmth of a bed, the feel of fabric. It is the enjoyment of life, being with a friend, swimming, painting, and watching the sunset. Beauty is found when we see life through a mystic lens. It is experienced in unexpected ways also: in grief, bravery, and hardship. Taurus offers the gift to experience moments of bliss no matter what you are going through. 

This new moon calls us to enjoy what we have, to understand the importance of relaxation, and to sort out any financial problems through planning. Abundance is not just about money though; it is also acknowledging the riches of life: relationships: art: dreams and mystery. 

Conjunct with Uranus and Mercury, this new moon will also initiate sudden realizations, unusual pursuits and sound conversations resulting in practical solutions. 

Under the moon’s shadow, be at one with the Zodiac’s bull and with moments of enchantment and comfort.
