Taurus New Moon: Actualizing Your Dreams and Manifesting Abundance

There is a New Moon in Taurus at 5:54am HST/ 8:54am PST on May 19th, 2023. New moons are the first phase of the lunar cycle, when the Sun and Moon are both in the same zodiac sign at the same degree. Because the Sun (our conscious mind, vitality) and Moon (our subconscious mind, inner world) are in the same sign, it is a harmonious time and ideal for manifesting, starting a new project, or working towards your goals and dreams. The Sun and Moon will both be at 28 degrees in Taurus. 

Taurus is a fixed earth sign. It is grounded, stable, loyal, hard-working, determined, dependable, with a love for the finer things in life, and an appreciation for sensual things like a beautiful environment, beautiful things, and delicious foods. On the low side Taurus can also be stubborn, lazy, and materialistic.  Taurus is also associated with self worth, values, material and financial abundance, sensuality and security in relationships, and physical well-being. 

With the combination of New Moons being the best time for manifesting and Taurus being the sign of material and financial abundance, this New Moon in Taurus is a particularly powerful time to set your intentions and focus on your goals.

Taurus New Moon Ritual:

1. Find a quiet and comfortable space where you won't be disturbed.
2. Gather some materials, such as a journal or paper, a pen, candles (preferably green or earthy tones), crystals (such as rose quartz or green aventurine), and any other items that resonate with the energy of Taurus (e.g., flowers, herbs, or incense).
3. Consider playing soft, soothing music in the background to create a serene atmosphere.

1. Begin by taking a few deep breaths to center yourself and let go of any tension or distractions.
2. Light some cleansing incense, such as sage or palo santo, and allow the smoke to purify the space around you.
3. Close your eyes and visualize roots extending from your feet, grounding you deeply into the earth. Feel a sense of stability and connection.

1. Take your journal or paper and write down your intentions for the upcoming lunar cycle, focusing on Taurus-related themes such as stability, abundance, self-care, and determination.
2. Be specific and write your intentions in the present tense as if they have already manifested. For example, "I am financially secure and abundant" or "I am nurturing and honoring my physical body."
3. Take your time and pour your heartfelt desires into these intentions. Feel the emotions and excitement as you write.

1. Light the candles and place them in a safe and sacred space before you.
2. As you light each candle, state your intentions out loud, infusing them with your passion and belief.
3. Take a moment to meditate on the flame, visualizing the energy of your intentions being released into the universe.

1. Hold your chosen crystals in your hands and close your eyes.
2. Set the intention for the crystals to amplify and support your Taurus energy and intentions.
3. Visualize the crystals being filled with the energy of the new moon, radiating strength, stability, and abundance.
4. Keep the crystals with you throughout the ritual and place them on your altar or in a special spot afterwards.

1. Express gratitude for the blessings and abundance in your life. Take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate what you already have.
2. Reflect on any beliefs, habits, or emotions that no longer serve your intentions and wellbeing.
3. Write down any limiting beliefs or emotional blocks that you wish to release and let go of. Once written, visualize these limitations being transformed into pure light and dissipating into the universe.

1. Take a final moment to ground yourself by envisioning roots growing deeper into the earth, anchoring your intentions and energy.
2. Express gratitude to the universe, the Moon, and the Taurus energy for their guidance and support.
3. Blow out the candles, symbolizing the completion of the ritual.

1. Keep the written intentions somewhere sacred, such as an altar or under your pillow, and revisit them throughout the lunar cycle.
2. Take inspired actions aligned with your intentions, nurturing and manifesting the energy of Taurus in your daily life.
