Close your eyes and think for a minute: What is your deepest desire in this Universe?
Is it a partner who represents love and care? A truly supportive and tight-knit social circle? Freedom from a negative habit that’s been holding you back? Whatever it is, the New Moon in hardworking Taurus is your golden opportunity to transform that desire into reality—especially if you’ve been feeling stuck in your routine lately.
One of the slower-moving months in the calendar, May will make you look at things by going beyond the surface and seeing where we are going with our lives.

And that will be much more amplified with the presence of the New Moon in Taurus on the 16th of May (4:01 p.m. ET/10:01 p.m. CET).
As the New Moon embraces us with its darkness, it will allow us to see where we stand right now and if there are avenues for growth and more love and support.
This New Moon is also beneficial to people who are looking to try something new with their body—maybe try a new exercise regimen or a new diet plan. In fact, this New Moon would be perfect for that.
We all desire peace in our lives, and even if the New Moon doesn’t evoke those emotions in us, there is nothing wrong with being kind and peaceful while also taking care of our body, mind, and soul, right??
Balance is one of the main themes of this New Moon, as it is with the rest of the year. To maintain balance in your life, make sure to actually enjoy your life to the same amount as you work to ensure that you enjoy it. Don’t create an imbalance, for that is going to disrupt everything.
Why though? Why can’t we simply play or simply work? It is because working would ensure that we have a strong core, discipline, and a rigorous routine to which we adhere. Maintaining a balance in this scenario is especially important, for if a car is constantly moving, it will run out of fuel very fast.

It needs to rest, and that is where play comes into play (no pun intended). You need to play so that you have the energy to work. For, as they say, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
One of the other things that this New Moon is going to do is make us sure of our worth. You want to better your life? No problem at all. You want to improve and grow as a human being? Even better.
But don’t ever think that you are not good enough for what you need to improve. You are good just the way you are. There’s no point in comparing someone you may know to someone you may replicate.
Their life and yours aren’t the same, so anything that you do won’t ever be remotely similar to what they do. You make your own choices, and the best thing you can do with them is to make sure that you are proud of your choices. They can be wrong, but you decided on them, which means you must take responsibility for the consequences of those choices.
Do healthy, good things with the energy of the New Moon accompanying you. But do so more, because they are important and make sense to you.
And lastly, let’s focus on something. Who are you as a human? What does your life lead to? Would you ever know if someone else was doing the same thing as you? No, for your life is yours and your own.
You have your own journey, and just because someone is making more money than you are or seems happier than you doesn’t mean that you are doing something wrong with your life. It just means that they live a different life.

In this New Moon, if you want to better things for yourself, do so focusing only on the right things, but not because you want to get rid of the uglier things in life. That would be impossible and a bit selfish.
Delve into the smaller things in life. Find happiness in the first rain of the year, a cake you baked, or a cloud that looks like a sheep. Don’t go running after grand moments because they would seem overwhelming, and if you are unable to attain them, they would depress you.
Search for meaning and happiness in the smaller things on earth, because life is made of small things that combine to form something new.
Search for positivity in your life, and trust us when we say positives can be found in the smallest of things.
If you want to start something new, this New Moon would be the best time for you. Start small, but start joyously.
Blessed New Moon!!! (in advance) 😉
