For the New Moon in Taurus for your sign (or natal house if you know it):

Aries

(2nd House) If you were to define your own worth, how would you gauge that? In society much of our worth is tied up with how much we make, or how much we have or own. But when we are talking about the New Moon in Taurus, you’re being asked to consider what you consider to be your most valuable assets. And when you do so, you may just find that there are some things that you simply can’t put a price tag on. What are your most prized assets? It could be an object, a person, a gift or a talent. Or perhaps it’s a certain quality. The New Moon in Taurus could bring you validation for what that is. It may even be something that you have taken for granted. If that is the case, own it. Own it, and look for opportunities to further develop and cultivate that talent, that ability, that gift. Then sow the intention to receive validation for your own worthiness and self-esteem. Especially for those things that you take for granted. Then remind yourself that :”I am worthy of all the bounty that nature has to offer.”

Taurus

(1st House) If you were to describe yourself, what would you say? How do you think you are seen, and how would you wish to be seen by others? Someone who is kind? Someone who is generous? Someone who did the right thing? These are questions that can arise with the New Moon in Taurus this week. This annual New Moon in your sign is your yearly reboot, bringing a sense of self-renewal. Those Taurus people born in the later degrees of your sign from 25-29º of Taurus will be most sensitive to this Moon, although all Taureans can benefit from the understanding and self-awareness that can arise with the New Moon in your sign. And if you were to reinvest in yourself for the year ahead, what would be the priorities that you would like to keep foremost in your mind? What are those things that you consider to be the most important to you? What plans and hopes do you want to most invest in for the year ahead? Create your own priority wish list, then go out and see what you can do to make it a closer reality. A good affirmation for this New Moon might be: Knowing what my true priorities are is the key to understanding who I am.

Gemini

(12th House) Out of the strain of the doing, into the peace of the done. In order to gain the most benefit from the New Moon in Taurus on Friday, you will want to tie up all the loose ends of your life so that you can have some time of your own, away from all of the busyness. You don’t have to go very far to find that place where you can be alone with yourself and your own mind. It’s closer at hand than you think. It is time to connect to Spirit, to Conscience, to your own subconscious world. Doing so can unleash all sorts of creative ideas, unearth long lost gifts, and invest a deeper meaning and value to all that you do. You really don’t need to ‘do’ very much, except pay attention to where your intuition and deepest heart-felt yearnings are leading you. Taurus, for Gemini, is a sign of hidden gifts, hidden advantages, and the unseen things that are going on behind the scenes. So it could even be that someone, impressed by your work ethic, may be inspired to help you. Or things owed you from the past could surface. This is a Moon of lucky breaks from the hidden and unseen realms. But it is also about making the intention to find that place within you that will bring you a profound feeling of inner peace and serenity.

Cancer

(11th House) The New Moon in Taurus on Friday is asking you to look at the ways that you can make what was once only a wistful dream, into a closer and more achievable reality. This may involve teaming up with others, finding a partner or someone else to collaborate on a project. One thing that may become more apparent, is that in certain areas of your life, or to achieve certain goals, you will be able to get so much more done when you join forces with others, than you possibly could on your own. And through the encouragement of friends or through a group that you are affiliated with, you could be feeling a lot more motivated to do so. This will be especially so if you also receive some sort of validation through your work, or through an avocation or personal hobby. Taurus is your wishing sign. Therefore take some time out to connect with your highest ideals, priorities, hopes and wishes, towards which you would like to aspire this year. And see what you need to do on your end, that will help you to make your wishes come true. A good intention for this Moon might be: If this dream is meant to be for me, may the best possible circumstances arise to see it fulfilled.

Leo

(10th House) Anything that you hope to realize, or receive some recognition for, whether work related, or in your personal life, will thrive if initiated with the New Moon in Taurus on Friday. It’s an excellent time to start new initiatives, to begin a new job or project, or embark on a venture. For it is more likely to reach success, and gain attention. This is when you can expect some sort of promotion, receive a reward, or be recognized. Taurus is a sign of values. So it is asking you to find value in what you do, and open yourself up to seeing your value and worth in the outer world and the community at large. The New Moon in Taurus wants you to be open to receiving, and is aiming to help you to realize your destiny and purpose. While the planet Mars, now entering Leo this weekend, is bringing you the motivation, courage and audacity to make a new beginning. Some good intentions for this Moon might be: May I be led to realize my life’s path and purpose. Or: I want to see all obstacles to prosperity, security and success lifted from me.

Virgo

(9th House) Is there something that you’ve been meaning to follow through with in order to further promote yourself and your future? Perhaps taking up a course of study, learning a new skill, gaining a little more experience, or making yourself better informed? With the New Moon in Taurus, now’s the time to commit to a new plan for the future, that will help you to expand your current prospects. And because Taurus is a sign that Virgo associates with venturing out into the world, you may be wistfully thinking about when and where you might want to take that next big trip. At the very least, look for ways that you can venture into the countryside, and into a world of natural beauty. It’s time for you to re-energize your earthy soul. To dig in the dirt. To feel grounded in the natural world. Virgo has been feeling a little extra invested in themselves lately. And well you should be.

If you have children, you will be feeling very proud about their achievements, and relishing all the news, events and milestones that they are now reaching. Enjoy it all. And even dare to wax nostalgically on all the wonderful moments you have already shared with others, and what more there are to come in the future. The New Moon is just lighting up your heart! It is also sending this surge of energy and inspiration, so that if you are involved in any sort of creative venture or project, you will be that much more invested in it.

This is a time of new beginnings, or confirmation for those things that you have already begun. Because of its placement in Taurus, it can inspire you to take on new projects related to home or family, including: improving your relationships with family members; taking part in activities that will help gather the tribe and reenforce feelings of community; perhaps making improvements in your home environment, beautifying, sprucing things up, adding plants or a bit of nature here and there. Things that make you feel more at home. A good affirmation for the New Moon might be: When I find peace within, everything else will fall into place.
