To kick off the beginning of the lunar cycle, the moon will renew itself via 28 degrees of Taurus on May 19 at 11:53 a.m. ET. It’s important to note that there will be a total of six planets (sun, moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus and the North Node) in Taurus at this time. This continues to bring awareness to themes such as our values, sustainability and sense of security. A new plan is unfolding, but the next steps we take will be inspired by our sense of self-worth.

What is genuinely worthy of your investment? With lucky Jupiter sitting at zero degrees of Taurus, we will see the benefits as long as we stand firm with what brings us peace, and stability. Keep in mind, Jupiter’s ingress into this fixed earth sign means it will simultaneously go head-to-head with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. And though the influence of the Greater Benefic is ever present in the next 12 months, we’re being pushed into a completely different territory, thanks to the Lord of the Underworld.
In other words, the transformation at play is essential to our soul’s growth and evolution. The key is to not lose sight of your worth, and what you know you’re capable of bringing to the table. Either way, we will likely come to terms with what is no longer worth fighting for. The new moon will also harmonize with Neptune, which will validate the energies you’re ready to surrender to and move on from. Similarly, Mercury’s connection to taskmaster Saturn will bring awareness to what you’re willing to commit to for the long term.
Before concluding its journey through hypersensitive Cancer—where the red planet can’t help but seek an outlet to express its flood of emotions—Mars will also harmonize with the new moon, as well as boundless Neptune. This watery synergy can be equally as subliminal as it is cleansing, but it’s important to reflect on whether we’re operating from a place of authenticity and stability, or reminiscing on the past wounds we have yet to heal from. This lunation is ruled by Venus in Cancer, so we’re also confronting the parts of ourselves that need more our love and attention.
If your sun sign, moon sign or rising sign falls under any of the following zodiac signs, the upcoming new moon will rock your world. Here’s why:
