Happy Taurus Season, amigos! It’s the season of the bull, and boy am I tired of the bull sh**. Just kidding, but not really. As I reflect on past Taurus seasons and prepare for this Taurus New Moon, I’m realizing my mental health is taking more positive turns, although I’m still not perfect in the head over here. When I have depressive episodes, I bounce back quicker and I generally feel happier to be alive. With that said, I can still feel my stubborn Taurus side bucking up against inauthentic interactions.

Why am I telling you this? Well, it’s because this Taurus season is a great time for paying attention to your surroundings and cutting out the pieces (and people) that no longer share your values. You will see that the general tone of these 2024 Taurus New Moon tarot horoscopes is authenticity and awareness, so if this is something you struggle with, I encourage you to read on.

May 6th, 2024 – May 19th, 2024 Astrology

Taurus New Moon

The highlight of this weeks Tarot Horoscopes is this Taurus New Moon, occurring on Tuesday, May 7th, 2024. This New Moon in Taurus cycle is asking us to wrap up the intense emotions that came up during the Scorpio Full Moon, and commit to new embodiment practices. What do I mean by embodiment practices? In a nutshell, I mean – it’s time to take care of your vessel. Drinking that ice cold beer after work every day is nice, but drinking six of them every night, not so nice. Swinging through that Taco Bell drive through is convenient, but swinging through there every week is not helping your body get the nutrients it’s screaming for.

I don’t like preaching about healthy habits, because I really don’t have many. I fall off the wagon constantly as I love beer and tacos, but as someone who is sensitive to gluten, dairy, and eggs – beer and tacos don’t love me. With that said, Taurus season actually makes me want to be healthier. Not just because it’s getting warmer and I want to get my body ready for less clothing, but also because Taurus energy makes me slow down and think about what my body really needs.

Sun conjunct Uranus

The Sun in Taurus will conjunct Uranus in Taurus on Monday, May 13th, 2024. When the Sun meets up with other planets, it amplifies them. Uranus at its core, is the planet of rebellion and unexpected changes. This is making me think about the recent protests against the war in Gaza.

I’ve been blogging since 2018, and in 2020 – I frequently blogged about politics and Astrology. My writing style has always been emotional, so mixing politics into that, took me to a dark place. With that said, I’ve taken a step back from watching the news. I’m not the most educated person on current events, and I worry about stating my opinion when I lack said education. Regardless, I’m a human with feelings, and I will always feel like war is not the answer.

When you are passionate about a cause, speak up. Because while war is never the answer, fighting sometimes has to be. If you are being fought against, and your people are being eliminated, fighting back is the only answer. Rebellion is necessary. Peace on Earth cannot be achieved without a good fight.

Mercury in Taurus

Mercury enters Taurus on Wednesday, May 15th, 2024. Like I said in the New Moon section, Taurus energy asks us to slow down. Mercury is the planet of the mind and communication, so it’s time to slow the noisy thoughts down. For those of us with anxiety, I know this sounds impossible, but taking deep breaths and slowly observing your surroundings is key. Stop and smell the roses, even if the allergies make your throat itchy. Especially if the allergies make your throat itchy, actually. Breathing is super important, and clearing your throat chakra with deep breaths will allow you to communicate in a more effective way.

Mercury square Pluto

Mercury in Taurus will square Pluto in Aquarius on Friday, May 17th, 2024. We learned that Mercury in Taurus is asking us to slow down and breathe, but this will be challenging with Pluto in Aquarius’s lofty goals.

Aquarius is an air sign that sees the bigger picture, and has a hard time coming down to earth to make the picture a reality. Taurus is an earth sign that sees exactly what is in front of them, and has a hard time imagining greater possibilities. If your ideas are struggling to come to light right now, don’t push them. Wait until the time is right to announce your next move.

Venus conjunct Uranus

Venus in Taurus will conjunct Uranus in Taurus on Saturday, May 18th, 2024. Holy Taurus conjunction week, am I right? Not only does the Sun conjunct Uranus, but Venus also gets in on the action! Venus is the planet of love and beauty, and this planet loves to be in Taurus, the sign of sensuality and elegance. Uranus on the other hand, is rough around the edges. Meaning, while Venus is light and loving, Uranus is tough and abrasive.

Back to what I was saying above about war and rebellion, I think Venus entering the mix will help people to come from a place of peace and understanding. Do I think this planetary placement will end wars? No. But I do believe that compromise comes from understanding other points of view. While we don’t all agree on the same actions, we should all be able to agree that humans are driven by emotion. Get down to the bottom of the emotions and extend an olive branch, if you are able.

Sun conjunct Jupiter

The Sun in Taurus will conjunct Jupiter in Taurus on Saturday, May 18th, 2024. The Taurus conjunctions continue, and to reiterate what I said above, the Sun amplifies planets it comes in contact with. Our pal Jupiter just so happens to be the planet of expansion, so you can bet the Taurus energy will be particularly strong during this time.

This transit could play out in many different ways, but I want this day to amplify all of the Taurus stereotypes. I want us to eat delicious foods, drink delicious wines, and treat ourselves in the best possible ways. I’m picturing the Empress tarot card, and for us to all cater to the inner Empress within. Picture a Greek goddess laying back and eating grapes that are being fed to her by her pool boy. Imagine being a Greek god, getting oiled up to go lay in the sun and soak in the powerful energy that fuels him.

Treat. Your. Self.

2024 Taurus New Moon Tarot Horoscopes

Disclaimer: This is my opinion formed by intuition and astrological terminology. Astrology is a complex system and horoscopes are not “one size fits all”. Look to your chart to see what other planets may be affecting you at this time. If you don’t know your rising sign, or what I said doesn’t resonate, look to your sun sign and see if that resonates more. Always Keep In Mind: You know you better than I do. Take what works for you and leave the rest! Humans have free will after all 🙂

Aries

You got Venusians and The World. Love manifests in mysterious ways. Celebrate weird love. To me, weird love is the love you weren’t expecting. It’s the friend that tells you they love your laugh. It’s your dad buying you a t-shirt because it reminded him of you. Weird love is the kind of love that catches you off guard, yet makes you feel special and like you have purpose.

Seek out this love. Push past your negative thoughts and remember that it’s love that makes the world go around. Love lifts us up where we belong, all we need is love.

Taurus

You got Reptilians and Nine of Swords. “There are different kinds of darkness…There is darkness that frightens, the darkness that soothes, the darkness that is restful… There is darkness of lovers, and the darkness of assassins. It becomes what the bearer wishes it to be, needs it to be. It is not wholly bad or good.” – Quote by Rhysand from A Court of Mist and Fury

Assess what is keeping you up at night. Don’t shy away from the dark thoughts. Get to the bottom of them.

According to Psychology Today, the reptilian brain is involved with prehistoric drives related to thirst, hunger, sexuality, and territoriality, as well as habits and procedural memory. It’s the stuff you do but don’t think about doing. It’s the basic human needs that overcome any shred of willpower you think you have. With this May 7th, 2024 New Moon in Taurus in your first house, your tarot horoscopes is telling you to do what you need to do. I want you to eat what your body needs you to eat. What I don’t want is for you to lie awake, ashamed of your actions, because you’re doing what you need to do to survive. Point, blank, period.

Gemini

You got Greys (Short) and Four of Cups. “Life sucks, then you die.” That’s the only line I’ve read from the entire Twilight saga, but it’s one of my favorite book quotes because it’s true. However, you don’t have to fester alone in your misery, Gemini. Just because people don’t get you and your quirks, doesn’t mean your life has to suck. People may not understand you in this moment, but they will come around eventually. Or maybe they will never understand you. That’s okay too. This doesn’t mean they don’t like you.

Misunderstandings are part of our human nature. Trust in yourself and keep being you anyway. Spirit has your back.

Cancer

You got Water (Element) and Three of Pentacles. For Cancer risings, this Taurus New Moon is occurring in your eleventh house of friends and networks. Regardless of your sign though, now is a great time to collaborate on new projects, Cancer. Work with others and see where they take you. Being compassionate and open with your friends/coworkers can ultimately lead you to discover your passions.

Learn what they love, observe their joy, let them inspire you to be better.

Leo

You got The Galactic Federation and Page of Cups. Stay curious when working with others right now, Leo. You need others in order to survive. They provide for you and you provide for them. Listen to the people you’ve been questioning.

I believe that, for the most part, everyone wants peace. Maybe they want peace for selfish reasons and they don’t care how you feel, but they need you – and they know it. So peace for them, requires peace from you. Sift through the bull sh** and seek peace.

Virgo

You got Kabbalah Tree of Life and Nine of Pentacles. For the Virgo risings, Venus (and this New Moon) is in Taurus in your ninth house of spirituality and religion. Regardless of your rising sign though, nature is the best way to integrate physicality and spirituality right now, Virgo. Animals come to us with messages, trees show us patterns and as an Astrologer, I believe the stars in the sky influence our actions.

When the world around you is screaming, nature provides calming sounds. Immersing yourself in the great outdoors will allow you to find stillness amongst this ever moving earth. Ground yourself in nature, breathe deep, and know that spirit surrounds you with light and positive energy.

Libra

You got Merkabah and Strength. Whether you are physically traveling or not, there is something spiritual about moving your body. If you have the privilege of actually traveling right now, I want you to make the most of it. Immerse yourself in other cultures. Don’t worry about life and all its problems right now. If you throw yourself into this trip and let yourself feel everything, I’m betting you will come back stronger and more yourself than ever.

For the Libras who aren’t traveling, life is still taking an exciting turn for you right now. Prioritize adventure in every day life. Go to a new restaurant with your family. Embrace that big life change that’s coming at you. Change is hard, but exciting. Once you meet yourself on the other side of change, you will see how much of a badass you are.

Scorpio

You got M.I.B and Seven of Pentacles. Watch your back, Scorpio. I don’t meant to be ominous and predict doom and gloom, I just want you to be aware of those around you and their ulterior motives. You tend to hyper focus on your work and personal growth, which can be a good thing – but if you aren’t careful, people can take advantage of this side of you. Work hard, but not too hard. Set boundaries when people try to push you.

Sagittarius

You got Sirians (B) and Four of Swords. This is not the first card you’ve received about responsibility.

You may be tired, but you made prior commitments. Flaking out on people comes with consequences. With that said, some people are holding you back from accomplishing what you want to accomplish. If you have to skip out on a hang out-sesh every once in a while, they should understand. Taking time to rest and care for yourself is essential for growth. If they don’t understand, then maybe they don’t have your best interests at heart.

Capricorn

You got Air (Element) and Page of Swords. You can see through bull sh**, Capricorn. Some may call you grumpy and judgmental, but that’s only because you know the truth about people. While they put on masks, you value authenticity.

With that said, it’s time to actually speak your authentic truth without hesitation. Let people think you’re pessimistic or stubborn. Right and wrong is subjective, so do whatever you think is right. Trust yourself.

Aquarius

You got Nephilim and Eight of Cups. Walking away takes extreme strength. To uproot your life and decide that this isn’t for you anymore, is one of the hardest things you will ever do. But the truth is, the sooner you rip off the band-aid, the sooner you’ll heal.

If you aren’t ready to make this big decision and uproot, that’s okay. Sometimes it isn’t safe to leave, or you may not be ready. If this is the case, start assessing your other options. For example, if it’s a job you wanna leave, make a game plan and apply for other places, or start scouting out a school you want to go to and apply for aid if need be.

Your life is yours, live it how you want to. Don’t let anyone hold you back anymore.

Pisces

You got Earth (Element) and Ace of Wands. Focus on your root chakra. Pisces rules the feet, so if you are able – take those feet of yours and plant them in the grass. Stand tall like a great oak tree. Reach for the sky and stretch every muscle from your calves, to your back, to your finger tips.

Once your body is stretched out, imagine you are pulling heat down from the sun. Feel that sun pulse through your veins, lighting your inner fire. Once you start to feel lit up and alive again, slowly open your eyes. Look around at the trees/plants surrounding you and remember that you can pull energy from them at any time. When you feel lost and like you’re having an out of body experience, glance at the plants for a reminder that you are rooted safely here on earth. Look to the sun for that extra spark of motivation. Let it give you life, exactly as it does for the plants.

Summary

So there you have it. These 2024 Taurus New Moon tarot horoscopes are here to remind you that it’s okay to be your true self. What you value, may be different from what your neighbor values, but that doesn’t make you less significant. You matter, regardless of your belief systems. It’s you who has the power to change your surroundings and choose to be around people who care about you and the things you value.
