On May 16 at 4:01 pm ET, the super new moon rises in the constellation Taurus, bringing the Earth and Moon to perigee. For us Earthlings, the influence is intense and you can feel the energy and vitality of the Moon on a personal level.
The new moon marks the beginning of the monthly lunar cycle. At this point, we set intentions for the coming weeks, focusing our efforts on a specific hope or desire. The goal is to start fresh, be introspective, and begin projects that engage our souls in the future—all of which are especially effective given the grounding energy of the new moon in Taurus.
Bri Luna, owner and founder of Witches in the Hood and author of Witches in the Hood Blood Magic: Everyday Magic for Modern Mysticsexplains, “The new moon in Taurus is slow and thoughtful. This moon asks us to plant something that we actually plan to cultivate and water. Taurus rules what we value, and this moon asks us to be real about what we want.”
We can also expand our emotional or financial horizons by talking to them. Be aware that the cruel star Algol is triggering pent-up emotions and may cause friction with others. Fortunately, by being open and honest about how we feel, we will be able to start a new chapter with the people we choose to move forward with.

You’ll feel like your aura is rejuvenated.
Taurus
Now is not the time to hide. In fact, it’s an opportunity to be seen. Your self-esteem is high, giving you the confidence to try new looks or hairstyles. You might want to start by showing off your awesome self on social media to let everyone know how awesome you feel and are. Embrace your light.
Gemini
Your intuition leads you to discover many aspects of life that you long to understand. Premonitions can help you unravel mysteries, find information, give you closure on situations or ignite the motivation to study them.

Your love for your career hasn’t changed, but you’re open to other opportunities. Still, you can apply your expertise in a meaningful way around a topic you’re passionate about (perhaps a hobby or fandom). Consider taking a risk because you never know what it might lead to – especially since it’s such an interesting field.
Virgo
You are a loser to the moon. It may seem like you’re a dream boat floating on the water, confused about what lies ahead. You shouldn’t feel stressed about things that are unresolved. The path forward is unfolding—but not at the pace you want, and not in the traditional way, so prepare for greatness. Your vision is ongoing and will manifest.
