The Sun & Moon meet in Taurus on May 7th at 11:22 pm EST. Closely joined by Venus, Uranus and Jupiter, this New Moon marks a fresh start after the eclipse season, building onto the expansive and liberating energy of the Jupiter and Uranus conjunction on April 20.
In the fertile soil of this Taurus lunation, the time is ripe to plant seeds for heart-aligned growth & an abundant future. Only you know your heart best. This moon is here to revolutionize your ability to trust yourself and remind you that anything is possible when you follow your heart. You are worthy.
If you have personal planets around 18 degrees of the fixed signs (Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius), this energy will be impacting you quite personally. Find out if this is you by signing up to the Lunar Alchemy Collective, where you’ll get full access to this article and instructions on pulling up your chart & learning how the energy is affecting you. If not, you will still be affected by this energy wherever you have these degrees in your chart.
Rewriting beliefs around physical security & self worth
Taurus rules the principle of accumulation, and in the element of earth - it’s all about the accumulation of resources that ensure survival. Under the revolutionary influence of this lunation, perhaps you are initiating an entirely new resource management strategy - whether that is your finances, your body, or any other things you place value on.
The moon is exalted in Taurus. In the sign of the bull, she has the ability to shine her nurturing light in a special and bountiful way to provide us with the security we innately crave. However, the security of the moon in Taurus is different from the emotional security of Cancer (the Moon’s home sign/Mother archetype). The moon in Taurus signifies the physical security and relationship to abundance that enables us to feel safe as physical beings living in a physical world. Â
This energy is directly related to our self worth internalized from the love and worth we were given or shown from our caregivers. If we have had issues feeling worthy of the things we truly value and desire - Uranus & Jupiter’s influence on this lunation is here to help us rewrite those beliefs. Under this expansive energy, we are being encouraged to trust our hearts. This may mean that sudden changes, upheavals or growth may be happening in your life, but that [hopefully] you are able to stay rooted in your worth & truth. It will mean you’ll likely stray from the path of what is ‘conventional’, or what your family of origin or society may expect from you or hope for you - but that you won't need their validation to affirm what's true for you.
The highest expression of Taurus knows no lack - it trusts that resources are not finite, and it surrenders to receiving. Sidenote: I recognize we are living in unprecedented economic times, and this doesn’t mean that you may be swimming in financial abundance (I get it, trust me!). BUT, what it does mean is a shift of mindset; from lack mentality (believing resources are finite) to an abundance mindset (having faith that when you live in alignment with your true values, there is infinite possibility and resources are renewable).
