Hello beautiful souls,
The Taurus New Moon arrives on May 16th like a long, slow exhale for the soul. After all the emotional static, rushing, overthinking, and trying to force answers…this moon reminds us to slow down. To come back to what’s real. To lean in and truly listen.
The Dark Moon is the fertile void…the place where change is quietly taking root before anyone else can see it. And this Taurus New Moon carries deep feminine energy beneath it all…flowers blooming wild, warm sun on bare skin, the earth alive again after Beltane’s fire. Venus herself—the ruler of Taurus—is woven through this lunation, awakening desire, beauty, sensuality, comfort, and truth. There’s no more pretending now.
If you’re in relationship, pay attention. Is your connection nourishing you…or draining you? Real partnership should feed the spirit, not deplete it. This moon asks you to hear what’s living underneath the words. What already exists in the silence. Ask yourself honestly: What do I already know that I’ve been pretending not to know?
The balsamic phase has a way of making truth impossible to ignore. Write it down. Speak your intention simply and clearly. Let it come from the deepest place inside you. Because the old structures are cracking. The old identities are cracking. The old ways of loving, relating, surviving…they’re cracking too.
And underneath all of it, something new is trying to emerge. This isn’t just a sweet little Taurus New Moon meant for candles and cozy vibes. It’s an initiation. A shedding. A doorway into what comes next. A chance to notice what truly moves you…what calls you home to yourself…to rest, release, pleasure, and peace before the next powerful lunation arrives…because on May 31st comes the 2nd Full Moon of the month, the Blue Moon.
A rare Sagittarian moon bringing emotional clarity, transformation, endings, beginnings, and life-changing shifts. A reset. A turning point. A new direction waiting to be claimed.
Between now and then, awaken your senses. Let your body remember the earth again. This is the season for all the rituals you’ve been putting off…the long baths, massages with scented oils, rosewater on your skin, lavender tucked beside your bed, slow mornings, barefoot walks, nourishing meals, beauty for the sake of beauty.
Rose has long belonged to Venus…softening the heart, opening the body to love, forgiveness, sensuality, and devotion. Lavender is the herb of the threshold…the quiet guide between worlds. Burn it. Bathe in it. Sip it slowly. Let it soften the noise so you can finally hear what your spirit has been trying to tell you.
Pay special attention now to your Root, Sacral, and Solar Plexus Chakras.
The Root connected to scent.
The Sacral to taste and pleasure.
The Solar Plexus to sight, confidence, and inner fire.
Pay attention to what rises now.
Move slowly with this Taurus Moon.
Let it ground you.
Let it open you.
The magick is already unfolding beneath your feet.
New Moon Intention Ritual (Saturday) Light a single candle in the dark. Sit with it in silence before you write a single word. Let the stillness tell you what wants to be born this cycle. Then name it — one sentence, one word, one true thing. The simpler, the more powerful.
