New Moon In Taurus Ritual Guide

New Moons represent new beginnings and present a powerful time to set intentions for the lunar cycle ahead so that we may manifest our deepest desires. When the moon is in it’s new phase it is in the exact same zodiac sign as the Sun is residing in. The Moon represents our inner selves and our feelings and the Sun represents our outwards selves and how we display ourselves to others. A new moon phase therefore has an effect on our whole selves as we feel the zodiac sign’s energy more intensely.  This is why it’s great to harness this new moon energy to help us live the lives we want to create through setting some intentions and goals. 

It’s now time for the new moon to enter Taurus bringing us all the earthly delights. Taurus energy is about slow living, honouring nature and calling for more stability in our lives. As Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of  love, also expect this New Moon vibe to be about joy, pleasure and home comforts. The theme for this moon is about how you can call in more abundance and financial security into your life through practical steps.

Our ritual guide below gives some insight and ideas for how best to harness this powerful Taurean energy. 

Step 1  - Plant a Wish

This New Moon brings us fertile energy to plant our dreams and intentions and what better way to acknowledge the abundant earth energy of Taurus than to literally plant a wish.

You can either use seeded paper to write your wishes on and then plant and watch grow, much like the manifestation paper that is included in our Moon Ritual Kits. Alternatively you can write your wishes on a small piece of paper and plant them in soil along with some seeds or a plant.

You will need: 

• A plant, seeds or seeded paper 

• Pen and paper

• Soil 

• Small plant pot 

Onto the paper write three things you would like to call into your life within the next six months when Taurus full moon energy will reign again during the Taurus Full Moon. You can use Taurean themes to help you shape your wish list if you like, such as financial security or  more time to relax, perhaps even bring the Venus themes of love and romance into the wish list. Once your list is  complete fold the paper into a tiny square. 

Next take a small plant pot and sprinkle some of the soil into the pot, saying your wishes out loud until the base of the pot is covered. Then place the square of paper with your new moon wishes on top of this layer of soil and cover with the remaining soil and water. If you are planting a plant make sure all the plant’s roots are covered. If you have any crystals such as clear quartz we recommend placing them on the top of the soil to charge and amplify the plant of seeds and in turn your wishes. Take care of your seedlings or plant regularly as a way to nurture your wishes and your intentions and to bring them to fruition. 

Step 2 - Restore and Recharge 

This Taurus New Moon is also asking us to relax and restore, to take time to appreciate all that is around us and to have gratitude for what we already have. It’s asking us to become as present as possible. In this stillness we can start to reflect on all that we have created for our lives already, acknowledging all the lessons we have already learned to get us to where we are now.  

Taurus is slow and steady and deliberate as well as being all about the senses and self care, so it’s really important to take this opportunity to reflect back on how far you’ve come as well as giving yourself a chance to relax. This way you can plan your way forward with a clear mind  - it’s about slowing down to speed up.

Make some time for true relaxation, either through a ritual bath, or tasty ritual meal.  Taurus is all about the senses to use this time to really indulge yourself, from listening to your favourite music, to using your favourite luxe skincare products. This is your time. 

Step 3 - Practical Planning & Journaling 

Taurus is associated with the throat chakra (the subtle energy that is connected to our communication) so writing down your plans, ideas, thoughts and feelings can help you to keep this throat chakra from becoming blocked. The throat chakra loves vibrations so putting on some gentle music whilst you take time to journal and plan may enable your words to flow more easily.

Assimilate some of the reflections you had in the relaxation step of this ritual. Take yourself back to what you were thinking about on Aries new moon - the start of the astrological year  - did you set any intentions back then? Even if you didn’t write them down, cast your mind back four weeks and take some time to assess how far you’ve come even in this short time. Have you progressed any of your key actions? What is left to do? What will you make time for in the next four weeks? How can you call in more abundance? 

When setting goals it’s helpful to visualise what the end result will be like, that way you can start to align all of your next steps and actions with this end result. Take some time to imagine what it is you want to become, where you want to be, how you want to live. What will it feel like to live in this new life? What actions do you need to move you closer to this ambition? 

Taurus energy is all about being practical, and let's face it New Moon manifestations are much more powerful if you take action and consider the practical steps to realise the life you so desire.  

How can you start living the life of your future self now? Get as clear as you can on your future goals and make sure everything you do from now on lines up with these… if you want to live a calmer life for example, start doing that now with simple acts such making time for meditation every day. Start becoming that future you now so you can begin to transform your life.  

You are the magick. 

Happy New Moon Darlings.
