New Moon in Taurus - May 2026

Our next New Moon will be in Taurus on Saturday, May 16, at 4:00 PM ET. This New Moon brings us comfort through grounding, slowing down, and relaxation. You may feel a pull to seek renewal in nature, so enjoy a hike or some time at the local park. If you've been wanting to make changes in your home, this could also be a good time to do that.

The Moon will conjoin Mercury. Quiet, solid, and comforting communication can be expected. Conversations that nourish the soul or help open your heart. On the other hand, Tauruses are stubborn, so try not to double down if you are wrong.

The Moon and Jupiter will also form a sextile. You might take the time to bring in more light and positivity into your home. This could be through new purchases, energy work, or a deep clean. Additionally, take a moment to reflect on your growth and future opportunities.

The ruler of this lunation is Venus in Gemini. Things that were previously separated may find a new path forward together, unified. Balance may be emphasized during this transit. So if you're feeling called to bring more equilibrium to an aspect of your life, this can be an opportune time to do that.

Venus will sextile Mars, allowing us to turn passion into action. This could be a good time to plant the seeds for your goals and ambitions. Share that fire inside your heart with others.

Overall, the New Moon in Taurus will be cozy and give us a chance to slow down before making our next move. There is an opportunity to map out the next steps to get us to where we want to go. You may want to reflect on ways to bring more stability and consistency to your life.
