New Moon In Taurus: Devote Yourself To Your Work, Goals & Intentions
The new moon in Taurus on May 19/20 brings promising energy and opportunities to take a practical step toward new goals that feel right. With the heaviness of the old eclipse cycle behind you and lucky Jupiter giving you a pat on the back, you're free to align with purposeful intentions and actions that aren't overshadowed by karmic energy. As Taurus is the second archetype of the zodiac, ruled by Venus, the planet of values, the new moon in this cosmic terrain calls you to start something new with your end goal and heart's desires at the forefront of your mind. Don't rush ahead! Take your time to plan and prepare to move forward, especially if you're a Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius, as you will feel the power of this new moon most intensely. The road ahead may be clearing, but you may need to overcome internal barriers blocking your confidence to get started.
Devote yourself to your next path
A new lunar cycle is blossoming as the Sun and Moon join hands in grounded Taurus, signaling that you must take the long road to achieve your next goal, as this will ensure the longevity of what you’re building, creating, and pouring your energy into. Don't start anything under the new moon that you aren’t willing to meet with deliberate and consistent efforts. Practice patience, perseverance, self-discipline, and professionalism to affirm your devotion to your path. As Mercury (the planet ruling your mindset) reaches out to Saturn — the wise elder planet — in Pisces, the universe nudges you to be practical, mature, and grounded in your approach toward achievement. Allow your experience to inform your decisions, and make sure the intentions you set are ones which you can fully commit to.
Align with heart-centered goals
Prepare for tests of endurance and determination as Pluto retrograde clashes with Mars in passive Cancer and Jupiter in indulgent Taurus. The universe will put you in situations where you must question, ‘How much do I really want this?’. In these challenging moments, opportunities arise to overcome your fear, hesitance, and self-doubt. As Pluto retrograde battles lucky Jupiter, ruling your optimism and outlook, assess whether your ambitiousness is rooted in ego-centric motivations — such as materialism or an underlying desire for power, influence, social media likes and followers, or attention. Only heart-centered goals are powerful enough to feed your soul and fuel your work efforts.
