New Moon in Taurus: What it means and Journal Prompts

The Taurus New Moon is especially focused on doing things that are real. It’s about making something happen that has substance to it

 

Taurus has a very earthy energy to it. It is about grounding ourselves fully. This is not about the bigger picture dreams and long-term goals but about thinking about the here and now:

 

• How can you look after yourself
• Can you cook yourself an extra special meal?
• How can you cultivate comfort in your life?
• How are your current routines and structures supporting or hindering this?
• Are you clinging to anything because it’s familiar but not truly what you want or serving your higher interests?
• Re-evaluate your relationship with money and possessions and discover what truly makes you happy and fulfilled

    

The new moon in Taurus will affect all zodiac signs, but Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius will feel it the most.

 

This new moon is at a midpoint between the spring solstice and summer equinox, which gives the new moon extra meaning. The days are getting longer and as well as that, here in the UK, lockdown rules are being eased. There is a big sense of anticipation that soon will come the time we have all been waiting for.

 

BUT the Taurus new moon is calling us to stop and take a breather- we don’t need to all rush out just because we can. We’ve all learnt to appreciate the smaller things in life over the last year, there is no need to suddenly drop everything and change our new routines.

  

Taurus New Moon Ritual

Gather some earth, and find a few leaves that appeal to you from your garden or nearby park. Set your intentions for this next Lunar cycle and beyond, places the leaves on the earth as you do. Use a rock or if you have some, Amber to put on top to seal the intentions in. Have this on your desk or nearby for the next few days. A few days after the new Moon, bury the leaves in your garden or near where you live. As the leaves return to the earth and are alchemised, so will your intentions be brought into fruition.
