The latest New Moon is here, and if you’ve been feeling emotionally fried, stuck in your own head or desperate for some kind of reset, astrologers reckon this lunation could be exactly that. Every month, a New Moon marks the beginning of a fresh lunar cycle — a cosmic clean slate where the Sun and Moon align, the sky goes dark, and we’re encouraged to slow down long enough to figure out what we actually want moving forward.
This time, the New Moon lands in Taurus, the grounded earth sign known for stability, comfort, routine and reconnecting with what feels genuinely good. Rather than pushing us toward chaos or dramatic transformation, this New Moon is less about reinvention and more about returning to ourselves. It’s a time for getting honest about your priorities, reconnecting with your mind, body and spirit, reassessing your relationship with work and money, and figuring out whether the life you’re building actually aligns with your values anymore.

When is the next New Moon?
The next New Moon rises in Australia on May 17 at 6am, but its energy will be felt in the days before and after it’s at its peak.
What does the Taurus New Moon mean?
In practical terms, the Taurus New Moon is basically asking everyone to stop running on autopilot for a second. Taurus energy is deeply connected to security, self-worth and the things that make us feel safe and grounded, emotionally, financially and physically. That means the next few weeks could bring a major reality check around where your energy is going, what you’re overcommitting to, and whether you’ve been neglecting yourself in the process.
This lunar cycle also shines a spotlight on our relationship with money, success and abundance. Not in a ~become a millionaire overnight~ kinda way, but in a ~what actually makes me feel secure and fulfilled?~ way. For some people, that could mean reassessing spending habits or career goals. For others, it might simply mean realising they’ve been chasing external validation instead of building genuine self-confidence.
There’s also a strong focus on slowing down. Taurus is a sign that values presence, pleasure and stability, so this isn’t really the energy for impulsive decisions or chaotic life overhauls. Instead, it’s about creating stronger foundations, whether that’s setting healthier boundaries, getting back into routines that make you feel good, or reconnecting with simple things that help you feel like yourself again.
Essentially, this New Moon is less existential crisis and more quietly getting your life together.
Taurus is the sign of nourishment, longevity, and setting the groundwork for the future.
Access this stabilising energy to get your life in order and summon all of the blessings to you.
What should I do during this time?
There is luck to be found and new beginnings to be had in the realms of love, werk and finances — pay attention to growth opportunities in all of these areas.
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for all sweet opps that present themselves to you and grab them with both hands!
For the witchy ones among us, centre your rituals around the aforementioned subjects, i.e. use pink and red candles to manifest love, green and yellow candles for work-related wishes, etc.
It’d also be a fab idea to do a cleansing to clear out the negative energy of recent times and allow the blessings to find you.
