New Moon in Taurus Chart: May 16, 2026

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 solid cycle for re-evaluating our relationship with money and possessions and discovering 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 and 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 phase of the Moon occurs at 25 degrees and 58 minutes of Taurus, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 22 to 30 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) the most significantly.
