The Moon is New in Taurus on May 4, 2019, at 6:46 PM EDT.

The New Moon in Taurus marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Aries New Moon cycle ends and the Taurus New Moon cycle begins.

The New Moon in Taurus is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Bull. It’s time to enjoy life’s simple and physical pleasures–savor good food and enjoy activities that bring us in touch with nature and with our bodies. It’s time to stop and smell the roses and to become more aware of what makes us feel comfortable and secure. This is a good cycle under which to re-evaluate our relationship to money and possessions and to discover what truly makes us happy and fulfilled.

With this potent Taurus energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives. It’s time to make some solid yet realistic plans and to set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs. This New Moon occurs around the time of a Mars-Jupiter opposition.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 14 degrees and 11 minutes of Taurus, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 10 to 18 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.
