The May New Moon in Taurus Will Affect These 4 Zodiac Signs the Most

The 28-day lunar cycle always begins with a new moon. Think of it as the first line of a story or the first few notes of a song. And if you’re one of the zodiac signs most affected by the new moon in Taurus of May 2024, you’re on the precipice of so much positive change. This new moon will help you process the heavy energy that’s been weighing on you, as the storm of eclipse season and the mayhem of Mercury retrograde have both finally settled.

The two most climactic moments of the lunar cycle take place at the new moon and the full moon, acting as markers in time that highlight turning points in our lives. The full moon may get most of the applause, as its bright light always heightens the energy. The new moon is usually a much quieter experience, but that doesn’t take away from its importance. You may feel tired, hollow, and hopeful all at the same time, as the new moon forces you to make peace with the past and embrace a new whole chapter of your life. Something that begins under a new moon will always take shape by the time the corresponding full moon takes place six months later. The intentions you set during a new moon will help you break away from what is no longer in alignment with your path as you take the first steps toward everything that is.

While you don’t have control over the future, you are capable of influencing the outcome. And because this is the first new moon taking place after the end of eclipse season, this is a chance to set fresh intentions and put your manifestations in motion. Dream big!
