New Moon in Taurus

On May 16th 2026 (9:01pm BST), a New Moon at 25° Taurus will sound the signal, calling for you to come home to yourself, as you’re shown how there can be power in the pause.

With the Moon coming into alignment with both the Sun and Mercury, both in Taurus, along with nearby Uranus in Gemini, expect the energy to be potent, powerful, and somewhat unpredictable, as the unconscious suddenly become conscious, bringing clarity where there was once only confusion.

In trine to Pluto - having stationed retrograde at 5° Aquarius on May 6th - and sextile to both Neptune and Saturn - still loosely conjunct - this lunation is focusing on the future, asking that you get clear on your personal goals, relational dynamics, and financial stability. Determining what needs patience and what requires some level of practicality.

As such, are you able to utilise this time by turning abstract thoughts into realistic plans, so as to initiate intentional action towards long-lasting, tangible results.

In doing so, deep-seated fears may arise and old wounds may resurface, as Chiron and Mars come into exactitude at 28° Aries, offering you a chance to heal what hurts. Thus, you may need to confront any issues around power and powerlessness, righteous anger and aggression, self-assertion and passivity, or healthy boundaries and people-pleasing.

Considering where you may have allowed yourself to be diminished, thinking yourself to be too much, or perhaps not enough. Where feelings of insecurity, inadequacy, or unworthiness have been left to fester, leading to a fractured sense of self.

Now, with a square to both Jupiter in Cancer and Pluto in Aquarius, it’s time to transmute your pain into your purpose. And thus, can you finally shift away from self-protection and survival, so as to journey towards a place that is deeply rooted in safety, stability, and security.

A nourishing, fertile ground within which to slowly and deliberately plant the seeds for the future. The germination of which will likely be evident by the Full Moon in Taurus on October 26th.
