New Moon in Taurus 2023 Rituals, Journal Prompts, & Affirmations for Each Zodiac Sign
The New Moon in Taurus on May 19th, 2023, is a powerful time for manifestation, grounding, and connecting with the Earth. This exciting and calming New Moon is an invitation to awaken our senses and manifest more stability in our lives.
Each zodiac sign can use this energy to its advantage by practicing rituals, journaling, and affirmations specific to their sign. Here are some suggestions for each zodiac sign to maximize this New Moon in Taurus.
New Moon in Taurus Meaning
We plant seeds and set intentions for the month ahead in New Moons. Astrologically, the New Moon focuses on the affairs of the sign where it falls. Taurus’s grounded and sensual sign will focus on security, practicality, safety, and comfort.
However, Taurus also governs our possessions, core values, and what we create with our bare hands. Ask yourself, where do you feel unsafe? Where do you need more stability and more ownership in your life?
And remember, when you accept yourself for exactly who you are, it becomes much easier to feel secure in the outside world. The sign of Taurus is also related to pleasure, the abundance of Spring, the beauty of nature, and the simple rhythms of life.
Setting Moon rituals around these themes can help you move more clearly and positively. Have you ever been to the woods and noticed the calm and peace emanating from the trees? That’s the deep sense of stillness Taurus invites us to drop into.
So take a moment today to enjoy the smell of freshly baked cookies, run your fingers through your partner’s hair, pet your cat, or feel the grass beneath your bare feet. Taurus connects to organic real-world sustenance. Take a look at your plate, your skincare routine, and your environment.
How do you consume? What do you take into your body? And what can you practically put in place to nurture the planet and yourself better? As we stand in the realm of the tangible that Taurus represents, it is a great time to set new financial decisions and improve your relationship with money and your physical body.
Look at what you value in life (freedom, career, family, etc.), and start from there! Taurus moves slowly, very slowly. We may take unhurried moves this week, but they sure will be steady and confident. Many areas could suffer from delays, so recall that patience always pays off.
Ultimately, this New Moon in Taurus is telling us to relax! Drop into your body and stop holding yourself so rigidly. Having control over every tiny aspect of our life gives us better chances of success. But, in reality, this is often the quickest route to failure.
This reminds me of a Mitch Albom quote: “Don’t let go too soon, but don’t hold on too long.” And indeed, soul searchers, remember to tighten your grip and use that hand to touch, caress, and create instead.
