NEW MOON IN TAURUS
NEW MOON IN TAURUS
Saturday, May 16 – 4:00pm
This New Moon occurs at 25 degrees of Taurus and opens up the conversation with your security and your self worth. It’s true that reality gives you what you subconsciously expect, not what you consciously desire. And this requires self worth.
We have reached an inflection point where we are now asked to reassess how we spend our energy, attention, money, and emotional bandwidth. Is this actually in alignment with our current values? Or are we still running on old programs in the background? Too many old tabs open? We all have these well-worn ruts that are comfortable, safe, give us security, but we have long since outgrown them. Today is a checkpoint for you to audit your values and how well they are represented in your daily life. Here we recognize the difference between the performative veneers that receive applause and the true joy that only comes from a well tended inner sanctuary.
With so much collective volatility over the last several years, this lunation feels like a palette cleanser to realign your life with your true values. Take time for embodiment practices, go off in nature, dance, or find a moment of stillness. Here we can deconstruct all that we’ve built and allow the pieces to reassemble with greater wisdom for our future. A new architecture is needed.
Read on to discover where this New Moon is asking you to course correct.
Also, I adore the Sabian Symbol for the degree of this New Moon, maybe it will resonate with you?
Sabian Symbol for 26 Taurus
“A Spaniard serenading his senorita.”
In Rudhyar’s interpretation, this symbol speaks to the power of intentional expression and emotional offering. There is devotion here. Romance. Artistry. The willingness to reveal feeling through action rather than suppression.
At its highest expression, this symbol reflects the courage to express what lives in the heart despite vulnerability. It reminds us that life becomes meaningful when we participate in it fully rather than standing outside of it protecting ourselves from risk.
READ FOR YOUR SUN & RISING SIGNS
Aries
You are being asked to stop proving and start valuing. This New Moon shifts your attention toward money, self worth, and the energetic cost of constantly operating in survival mode. There is a more sustainable way forward, but it requires you to believe you deserve steadiness too.
Taurus
This lunation lands directly in your sign and marks a personal reset. You are shedding an outdated identity that no longer reflects your current values or future direction. Let yourself become more visible without apologizing for how much you’ve evolved.
Gemini
There is something your body has been trying to tell you that your mind keeps interrupting. This New Moon asks for rest, reflection, and honesty around what is quietly draining you behind the scenes. Not every season is meant for performance.
Cancer
Your future is asking for different people around you. This lunation illuminates friendships, collaborations, and communities that actually support the version of you emerging now. Stop shrinking your vision to maintain outdated dynamics.
Leo
Mars in your sign gives you momentum, but this New Moon reminds you that visibility without alignment creates exhaustion. Something professionally is restructuring itself so that your outer success reflects your inner values more honestly.
Virgo
You are outgrowing a worldview that once kept you safe. This New Moon invites expansion through travel, education, spirituality, or taking a leap toward something larger than your current environment. Your life will change once you stop needing certainty before beginning.
Libra
This lunation pulls you into deeper emotional territory. Shared resources, intimacy, grief, trust, and vulnerability rise to the surface now. There is strength in allowing yourself to be supported instead of managing everything alone.
Scorpio
Relationships become the mirror through which you see yourself more clearly. This New Moon asks you to examine whether your partnerships are built on mutual respect or unconscious power dynamics. The answer will become impossible to ignore.
Sagittarius
Your daily life needs more care. This lunation highlights your routines, health, workload, and relationship to your physical body. You cannot build a meaningful future while abandoning yourself in the process of maintaining it.
Capricorn
Something creative wants more room to breathe. This New Moon reconnects you to pleasure, romance, artistry, and the parts of yourself that have become buried under responsibility. Joy is not distracting you from your purpose. It is part of it.
Aquarius
You are rebuilding your foundation from the inside out. Home, family, belonging, and emotional security come into focus now. There is healing available when you stop treating softness like weakness.
Pisces
Your voice carries more power than you realize right now. This New Moon opens a new chapter around communication, writing, speaking, and honest conversations that have been waiting to happen. Say the thing clearly. It will change more than you think.
“Whether it’s a personal reading, taking an astrology class, or spending time on a retreat with Rebecca Gordon, you will be forever transformed and see your life through a different lens. Rebecca is a gifted and highly engaging teacher who guides you through understanding astrology with grace and ease. That understanding in turn leads to greater compassion for yourself and others. Rebecca is also a wonderful connector and I’m grateful for such beautiful friendships and inspiring students I have met through studying with Rebecca Gordon over the years.”
“After having read Rebecca Gordon’s book, Your Body and the Stars, I knew it was important to go deeper into studying how the zodiac sign influences health. This class isn’t just for those interested in medical practice, it’s suitable for everyone who also want to be more attuned to their bodies. We were treated to fun and informative sessions on going through our natal charts and watching out for potential health issues, as well as identifying some alignments that could affect the health.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the Astrology of Relationships class. Rebecca is a gifted astrologer with a creative and unique voice. She introduced me to new techniques and added layers to my understanding of synastry. Her distinctive take on the waltz between the sun and moon in relationships provided a fresh new perspective for my understanding of aspects in relationships. There is a Facebook group to connect with your fellow students. I love that all her classes are live and interactive.”
“After studying astrology for over 20 years to then becoming professional the last few years, I am a great believer in continuing development. Through studying and learning from many teachers, I have followed Rebecca for the last two years.
Specialising In Medical Astrology I loved her Health and Wellness course, there was so much information which gave me a deeper understanding of how to bring in the ecosystem.
I would highly recommend this class even if you are not an Astrologer you will still benefit from this class.”
“I have taken two full courses and countless workshops and private sessions with Rebecca. She is undoubtedly a master of her craft and a true mentor for her students. I live in gratitude to her for the rich knowledge she has equipped me in understanding myself and in helping others learn about themselves through astrology.”
“I met Rebecca years ago at a workshop she was teaching. I was immediately drawn to the lightness and life that she brings to the ancient art of astrology - she makes it so accessible and fun, without sacrificing any of its depth and life-changing potential. It’s been such a joy to be in her astrology school. I’ve gained a much deeper understanding of myself, and seen how we are all “wired” really differently, based on studies of natal charts. This has helped me to be much more patient and understanding with my friends and family ;) And, the class really feels like a true spiritual community: supportive, intimate and inspiring. I will miss our weekly gatherings!”
