Manifesting with the Taurus New Moon

Astrology by Lisa Stardust 

The Taurus New Moon that occurs on May 11th is a fertile time to our innermost plant dreams with the intention of making them a reality. This New Moon has the potential to bring our wishes to life, making it an energetically rich time to attain them. 

This luminary is extremely potent for manifesting. Not only is it a New Moon, which marks a fresh start. But, the Sun and the Moon (who are both in Taurus) connect with Pluto (who is in Capricorn). Together, these three planets create a Grand Trine. This means that the desire to create, motivate, and inspire is strong. Add in dreamy planet Neptune (who is in Pisces) and we get an emotional, instinctual, and tender way in which our visions take flight. These planets will make the New Moon a super romantic and lovely time that will push us to align with our innermost sentiments, hopes, and fantasies. It also gives us the push for direction and incentive to bring them to life in the physical world. 

The planetary ruler of the New Moon is Venus, who is currently in Gemini. Venus is riding along the North Node of Destiny, which means that the events that occur today are fated. The New Moon will expand our consciousness to many possibilities— many of which we didn’t even know were possible. Keep your mind and heart open when it comes to matters of love, money, friendships, relationships, and artistic endeavors. We are wanting to bring something big to the world now, that’s why this luminary is important. It will be the first part of the dreams we are crafting over the next two years. 

The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is a “White Dove Flying Over Troubled Waters.” White doves symbolize peace and love, which is the message of this luminary. Aligning with our truest and purest spirit is essential. Honoring and acknowledging the song our hearts are yearning to sing is important. 

Enjoy the lovely energy of this New Moon. Bring your visions to light! Manifest and grow your dreams! 

*The Taurus New Moon occurs on May 11th at 11:59AMPDT and 2:59PM EDT.
