New Moon in Taurus
May 11th
As we near the end of Taurus season we have the new moon in Taurus to round out the lunar cycle. New Moons are associated with beginnings and planting seeds to grow to fruition until the next full moon. Combine that with the lovely Taurus energy we’ve got a great opportunity for some money magic! This would be a great time to set intentions for your business plans or financial opportunities. Taurus is also associated with creativity, so spend some time doing a creative activity to ring in this powerful energy.
The signs and how they are affected by this:
These are the archetypal energies; apply these descriptions to your Sun, Moon, 2nd house, and wherever Taurus is in your chart ✨
♈Aries - Semi-sextile (30°) This is a mildly positive influence. You will feel an ease in creating and seeking out financial opportunities. You’re no stranger to being a self-starter but you often lose interest over time. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, so their greatest skill is beginning new things. Then Taurus appears to continue the momentum and build/create/birth. This energy will enhance your mental focus and give you greater commitment to maintaining enthusiasm during a project. This new moon would be a good time to set intentions for sustainable motivation to complete the things you start. Taurus plays the long game, so it would be beneficial for you to harness that disciplined energy to stick to your initial plans.
♉Taurus - Conjunction (0°) This is super powerful! This new moon would be an excellent time for you to set intentions for your financial & creative future. Your energy is being highlighted here, so your best qualities are given more potential. You already understand how to put in the dedication to finish your projects well. With this energy your creativity is being elevated to a new level, so expect a wonderful strike of inspiration.
♊Gemini - Semi-sextile (30°) This is a mildly positive influence. Normally Gemini energy enjoys having several projects going at once but you may feel pulled to focus on one that is more meaningful to you. Taurus is gifted in focus and creativity, so this would be a great time to embody that energy! You likely have a favorite or more exciting project that you know deserves more of your attention, this is your sign to commit to it. This new moon would be a good time to set intentions for greater focus in the projects that provide you the most financial stability.
♋Cancer - Sextile (60°) This is a very positive influence. Creative projects are typically inspired by your emotions, whereas Taurus creativity is based on physical sensations. You may feel a shift in how you approach your creative ideas during this time. Embrace this shift and see where it leads you, as Taurus is also closely associated with abundance and financial development. Use this new moon to help connect your material wellness with your emotional wellness.
♌Leo - Square (90°) This is a challenging aspect. Leo energy fills a room and is often the catalyst for action. But Taurus is slow, patient, and quiet as an energy. You will feel as though your creativity is muted or “lacking” something you can’t place your finger on. Not to fear though, with this new moon you are encouraged to brace the slowness of Taurus energy. There are great lessons in stillness that will help you further your projects in the coming months. This new moon would be a good time to set intentions for patience in receiving return on investments.
♍Virgo - Trine (120°) The most positive influence! Virgo energy is adjacent to Taurus in that you both understand that hard work pays off. However, you tend to hyper focus on details and perfection. Taurus energy is here to shift your focus into enjoying the process and seeing the larger picture. This is a trine, so this shift will not feel as though you're being forced. It will feel like relaxing and being less concerned with perfection. This new moon would be a good time to set intentions for being more confident in your projects.
♎Libra - Quincunx (150°) This is a challenging aspect but if you put in the effort it has benefits. You may have to put more of your time into your exciting projects in order to get them off the ground. This is frustrating, because Libra is also ruled by Venus (like Taurus) so you’re usually great at creativity and production. Libra energy has a great flow of ideas and can bring them into reality, but during this time you may find you have to search for inspiration. This new moon would be a good time to set intentions for financial opportunities to come your way.
♏Scorpio - Opposition (180°) This aspect can be challenging but it pushes you to gain new perspectives. Scorpio energy loves to dive very deep into the unseen and emotional side of everything. Taurus is planted firmly here in this realm and works intimately with the elements. You will feel challenged and pushed to approach your projects in a new way. Rather than trying to reach the absolute depths of your soul to find inspiration look around you and see what elements from nature can deliver. This new moon would be a good time to set intentions for seeking practical approaches to finishing projects.
♐Sagittarius - Quincunx (150°) This aspect can feel pretty challenging but if you put in extra effort you will be rewarded. You will have your optimistic viewpoint challenged here. Sagittarius sees the best possible outcomes and has personal conviction that they can achieve their goals. Taurus is practical and realistic, which can feel stifling for Sagittarius energy. You’re being pushed to be more cautious and set realistic deadlines in your projects. Often times you have ambitious goals that you fall short from completing because you get stuck in the planning phase. This new moon would be a good time to set intentions for finishing your projects in a realistic timeframe.
♑Capricorn - Trine (120°) This is the most positive influence! Capricorn energy is also adjacent to Taurus in that you can commit to a schedule to complete a goal. Where you differ is that you often draw inspiration from your philosophical inclinations which are difficult to articulate to others. Taurus draws inspiration from their surroundings and tangible sensations. You could lean more into this side of creativity in order to really stand out and find new ways to draw opportunities to you. This is a trine, so it won’t feel like you’re being pushed to shift this thinking. It will feel more like you’ve suddenly found new ways to market yourself. This new moon would be a good time to set intentions for embracing the simplicity of life as a means for inspiration.
♒Aquarius - Square (90°) This aspect is challenging. Aquarius energy draws inspiration from research and intellectualizing the abstract. Which is really different from the way that Taurus creates, as they prefer to deal with the tangible or simplistic elements of the process. You’re being pushed to ground yourself in your creative ability, and to find opportunities in a way that is practical. With finances Aquarius energy tends to be a chaser, the “it” person who makes connections and builds networks. Which can feel difficult with the influence of Taurus, who is sought after for financial advice. This new moon would be a good time to set intentions for financial opportunities to come to you during this cycle.
♓Pisces - Sextile (60°) A positive influence. Pisces is always in the creative process, but when it comes to finances they really struggle. This is because Pisces is anything but material, they are even further into the abstract than Aquarius. This new moon in Taurus will bring you a greater ease in creating a budget and setting financial goals. You’re already gifted in creativity, so Taurus will only enhance this quality for you. However, this energy will also give you a great push in the right direction in managing financial opportunities because Taurus is very gifted in material wealth. This energy will help you grow an appreciation for the material and tangible world. This new moon would be a great time to set intentions for building more responsible financial budgets and creating a monthly plan.
