New Moon in Taurus

The New Moon in Taurus arrives on Friday, May 16, 2026 at about 4:00pm EDT.

This lunation invites you to explore your ideas about stability, both internal and external. Internally, you may feel more connected to your body’s true needs and desires. Externally, you may be reflecting on how you’d like to invest in your home, finances, and spiritual growth.

In tarot, Taurus is most closely associated with the Hierophant. While the interpretation of the card is highly context dependent, it’s often connected with ritual, tradition, spiritual lineage, and earned wisdom. Known as The Pope in some decks, this card asks you to examine the structures through which you seek guidance and belonging.

A few ideas for celebrating this new moon:

• Write a specific intention for this lunar month related to self-care, finances, or spiritual development.
• Meditate on the Hierophant card. Note any details of the card that resonate or memories that arise.
• Journal about how you want to be living in five years - get specific about what your home will feel like, how you’ll be earning a living, where you’ll be seeking spiritual guidance.
• Connect with your body through a small ritual: rub lotion into your calves or take a sauna.

This new moon, ask yourself what is worth investing in long-term?
