The Sky Now - New Moon in Taurus (May 16, 2026)

New Moons are times to identify areas of need and desire, to form intent, and to plant seeds of said intent to nurture and develop via action. Today's New Moon in Taurus (15:27 EDT) brings big Empress energy with it. Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and the Empress is a fertility queen and a steward of the Earth. The Empress is Gaia, the Empress is Mother Earth. Reflect upon your own earthly desires now, reflect upon your earthly needs. Ask yourself where you need healing, ask yourself where you seek abundance. Ask yourself where you need love. Ask yourself where you can give love. Visualize your ideal garden of life, then form intent, plant spiritual seeds, and direct energy toward that end. Home, family, work, career, money, your environment, and the environment are all of the Element of Earth. Earth signs seeks security in very practical ways. Earth signs desire comfort, connection, and pleasure. Jupiter in Cancer supports growth and developing actions with positive nurturing energies throughout May and June. Connect now with the divine, align with your fresh garden of life vision, commit to new beginnings, and then be willing to put in the work.
