New Moon in Taurus: May 2026
New Moon at 25° Taurus: May 16 2026, 1:01 p.m. PDT
Astrologically speaking, the New Moon is the time to set intentions - to plant the seeds of what you want to bring into your life. As the Sun and the Moon align at the same degree of the Zodiac, the yin and the yang become one. Your intentions are planted into a fertile cosmic soil. The Universe is listening.
Well OK, it also might be that neuroscience is in play - that you're programming your own mind toward your goals. But, I've also seen some surprising synchronicities appear when you consciously start working with the Lunar Cycle. It's like the power of you meets the magic of the Universe.
This New Moon, at 25° Taurus, might just be THE day of the year to set intentions for attracting financial prosperity, increasing patience and perseverance, and bringing contentment and sensuality into your life.
Of course, you're not limited to the intention-setting topics I suggest in this post. Setting intentions for anything you want to attract into your life is fair game on a New Moon. But, intentions for the matters ruled by Taurus get an extra boost.
If you know which House in your natal chart this New Moon falls into, you can choose to set intentions for the matters represented by that House, instead. For example, this Moon falls into my 7th House of Committed Relationships. I could opt to set intentions that involve my marriage.
If you're new to working with New Moon energies, you may be interested in my post "Setting Intentions on a New Moon: Why and How".
How To:
- Set your intentions soon after the new Moon, within 8 hours if you can (within 24 hours will still work). Set aside about 30 minutes for this.
Note that the Moon will be void of course between 6:02 p.m. and 7:23 p.m. PDT. Matters initiated when the Moon is void of course don't translate into results, so sit out this timeframe.
- If you are setting intentions for financial success, you may want to light a green candle.
- Focus on your intentions. Truly FEEL them. Then write them down and keep them.
Visualize what it will feel like when you receive what you're calling into your life.
Visualize yourself financially abundant. There are no money worries. You have enough money to support you and your goals. To spread around. To spend on your loved ones. To give to your favourite charity. What would it feel like? FEEL that emotion.
Sample Intentions:
Sample intentions might include:
“I want to easily find myself making more money.”
“I want to attract and purchase the right car/house/____ at the price I can afford.”
“I want to be more patient with ______.”
“I want to easily find myself relying on my own efforts for success”.
“I want to enjoy and appreciate my life”.
“I want to easily be able to focus on the good things in my life”.
“I want to find myself enjoying the sensual side of life in a happy way”.
“I want to be able to bring more sensuality into my relationship with ___________”.
"I want to easily be able to make decisions that are aligned with my values".
To Go Deeper:
Most of us were never taught how to manifest intentionally. We spent years learning science, literature, career skills — but not how to consciously call in what we want.

MoonManifest — my program that teaches you exactly this — is now available in a fully digital format.
This program is for you if you’re working on bringing something into your life, and would like to learn new, powerful tools to help you on your journey. This “something” can be your love life, finances, career, or simply more peace and tranquility.
