As the night sky darkened on May 19th, at exactly 11:53 PM Beijing time, we were graced with the presence of a new moon in Taurus. This particular moon made its appearance at the 28 degrees and 25 minutes mark of the Taurus constellation. In the realm of astrology, Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, ruling over material possessions, finances, aesthetics, and enjoyment. With this new moon, it’s a perfect moment for some soul-searching and planning in these areas.
You might find yourself pondering, "Where has all my money gone?" or "How can I devise a solid financial plan?" Maybe you’re considering ways to boost your income or thinking about a style overhaul, like a new skincare routine. After all, you’ve worked hard lately — perhaps it’s time for a little self-indulgence, whether that’s treating yourself to a gourmet meal or finally clicking "purchase" on that shopping cart that’s been staring at you.
Taurus is an earth sign, which means it’s deeply connected to the tangible aspects of life. This new moon might bring some very practical considerations regarding your interests to the forefront. It might also shed some light on the true colors of certain individuals in your life. Under the influence of this new moon, you’ll likely approach these matters with a level head, carefully weighing the pros and cons before making decisions that suit you best.
Now, with the Mercury retrograde shadow period looming, you might be feeling a bit down and out of sorts. If you’re eager for a change, why not give wish-making a shot? The power of the new moon might just be the nudge you need to brighten your days.
Now, a few things to keep in mind when making wishes:
- Wishes are personal — no wishes for others on your behalf.
- All zodiac signs are welcome to partake in the wish-making.
- Wishing harm or ill will towards others is a no-go.
- Keep your list to a maximum of 10 wishes.
- Your wishes should be grounded in reality — dreaming of "getting rich quick" isn’t going to cut it.
- The best time to make a wish is within the first 8 hours after the new moon rises, but you can still wish later; just know that the potency decreases after 48 hours, and after two days, it’s ineffective.
All the times mentioned here are in Beijing time, so if you’re abroad, make sure to convert accordingly.
As for the wishes, every sign has its suitable themes:
Aries might wish for health, travel, romance, or a boost in charm. Taurus can wish for just about anything related to themselves. Gemini might aim for travel, education, a raise, or successful dating. For Cancer, lotteries, travel, creative pursuits, and teamwork could be on the agenda. Leo might wish for entrepreneurial success, real estate, investments, or travel. Virgo could focus on medical aesthetics, career changes, moving, academic achievements, or clearer relationships. Libra might seek love, children, exam success, interviews, or side hustles. Scorpio could wish for health, travel, romance, or enhanced allure. Sagittarius might want a raise, medical aesthetics, investments, or new friendships. Capricorn could wish for wealth, hobbies, marriage, promotions, or the departure of annoying people. Aquarius might wish for interviews, raises, romance, business trips, or exam success. And finally, Pisces could wish for lotteries, exams,, further education, or beneficial connections.
So, whether you’re looking to change your luck in love, career, or life in general, the new moon in Taurus is your cosmic helper. Just remember to keep those wishes realistic and make them during the peak times. Here’s to hoping the universe hears you loud and clear!
