Taurus New Moon 2026

On May 16, 2026 our Taurus New Moon will exact at 2:00 PM MST, with energies perfecting at 25 degrees Taurus.

As we embark on a new Lunar cycle for the sign of Taurus, these meditation guides are here to prompt and support you into the Full Moon in approximately two weeks and the New Moon cycle for the sign of Taurus in a year from now, inviting you to weave these intentions into a larger practice of your personal growth.

Meditation: What is one thing I can do everyday until the Full Moon to evoke the feeling of Sensual in me?

Additional Meditation: What is the one thing I can do everyday until the Full Moon to help me feel and heal the feeling of Lack of Sensual within me?

One of the keywords for the Taurus archetype is Sensual. The goal here is to plant fresh New Moon seeds of this feeling, while considering and healing old wounds that may block us from fully feeling a sense of Sensual within ourselves and in the world around us.

There is something about morning sky chakras that wake up my soul for another day, it is a warm hug from the heavens saying “good morning”

The larger picture and cycle of Moon and Sun:
If we consider the larger scope of the cycles of the Moon phases around the Sun, we will find great support and can gather evidence of our healing path through reflecting on our journals and notes along the way.

Grandmother moon, please share and reveal to me an aspect of my soul that is ready for me to feel and heal.

The word I felt and chose was sensual for this moon phase. In that it goes beyond and touches far more than the immediate sexual sensual that often comes to mind. What is sensual about life is found in the simplest of moments- often the ones that touch our soul in the most profound ways possible. Much of Taurus is described in the softness, the indulgences, the sweet pleasures of life- much of that can feel cliche fast.

When I meditate and feel about this, what comes about is a whole new realm of vulnerability and expression of our delicate being. To really express this archetype in its fullness is to lay down all of our defences. To experience sweet pleasures and fully embrace the indulgence of a moment is to be so engrossed by the experience that there is no room left in our bandwidth for vigilance and defending. Our sweetest memories in this way are often found when we can really laugh, fully taste, touch something until we have fully experienced the texture of it, gazed at it for so long the image is burned in our retina when we close our eyes- these sensual experiences connect us to senses of the soul that we are only beginning to have names for. We are only beginning to recognize the depth and need for them in our human experience here on earth.

This level of intimately experiencing others and nature is or at least can be a lot of love to take in. Like most things, you have to willingly choose to work up to allowing that amount love in. Life is funny that way- when we feel ourselves pushing something, someone or some moment away: that is the exact moment of invitation to lean into the discomfort of it, lay our guard down and allow that moment, that person, that area of nature to sensually touch our souls.

When we get soft, become vulnerable, be willing to experience pleasure in its simplest form in the small moments of that come forward many times a day, they compound into what fills our live cup/tank. So much of life seems to tell us that being hard and rigid is the way we “should” be- it’s the outcome of how far we have come away from love and harmony with not only natural laws, but God’s laws.

There is really something to be said for slowing down in order to speed up. Slowing down- really taking in each moment sensually with all of our senses allows us to gather more complete information that would guide our actions. Navigating life with a fuller love cup allows for clearer decisions and actions- fear cannot exist when love is present. Love asks you to heal your fears, resolve what would prevent you from doing ____. Love would ask you to get curious about what your life would be like if you took a risk and allowed yourself to be sensual in this moment. It doesn’t have to be every moment. The invitation to get started is to take pause and allow your self to disarm and really feel into a moment. Allow it to sink into your being so deeply. The next invitation is to do it again and again, cultivating a practice so much so it becomes part of your daily rhythm.

As my feelings on this wrap up, I see this rhythm of practice going beyond the Sun in Taurus season- like with all parts of astrology it works to become engrained in the central wholeness of our experience and expression of self. That the expression of our sensual selves takes up more space than we have previously gave ourselves permission to before this moment.

Thank you, I love you.
