Taurus New Moon Ritual May 2026

The Taurus New Moon on May 16 beckons us to shift past our fears into a place of surrender and acceptance. There is challenging energy tied to this New Moon due to the presence of Algol, one of the most notorious but perhaps misunderstood stars in astrology.

Algol represents suffering but also the transformation that blossoms from it. Algol helps us to take our fears into something we can confront and stand up to. What is on the other side of your fears? Algol encourages this question.

While Algol does provide a slight heaviness, there are supportive beams flowing under this New Moon, making it a good time to focus on stability, security, finances, and longevity.

If you want to work deeper with the Taurus New energies, here is a ritual to guide you. In this ritual, we will confront something that is currently challenging us and see if we can alchemize it using the power of gratitude.

There is also a Taurus New Moon Reading on offer, where you can pick a card to receive an intuitive message. These videos are only available to YouTube members, but once you sign up, you get access to all the reading videos. You can check out more details of the membership here.

I hope you enjoy the ritual!

Taurus New Moon Acceptance and Gratitude Ritual 

You will need:

• Aura cleansing tool of choice
• Bowl of water
• Flowers or something that makes you feel connected to earth
• Your favorite essential oil (earthy smells may be a better fit as Taurus is an earth sign, but use whatever you prefer)
• Spray bottle (optional)
• Taurus New Moon Reading

Directions:

1.) Start by cleansing your aura and space. Always begin with your aura first and then move on to your space. As you cleanse, recite this affirmation, or write your own-

“I am one with light and love, I am one with grace. Please clear and cleanse all that pulls me down and all that needs to go. Please clear and cleanse so I feel light, so I feel strong. I am/this space is a radiant channel of light and only love can enter. And so it is.”

2.) Set up all your ritual ingredients in front of you. Take 5 deep breaths in and out, breathing deep into your belly. Take your bowl of water and begin gently stirring it with your finger in a clockwise direction. Repeat a few times quietly to yourself-

“I am so grateful for Mother Earth. I always feel provided for. Mother Earth holds me, I always feel secure.”

3.) Next, place your flower in the bowl of water along with a few drops of your chosen essential oil. Place your hands around the bowl of water and breathe deeply for a moment here. Feel thankful for Mother Earth and all that she provides for you. Breathe in the beautiful oil that she has provided for you.

4.) Close your eyes and place your hands over your heart center. Think about a recent change or something confronting that is coming up for you. Perhaps you are dealing with a bad boss, or perhaps you recently ended a relationship. Just think about whatever is troubling you, or whatever changes are making you uneasy. Try to just focus on one.

5.) Think about the situation you have chosen, feel into it. Go through it all in your mind while keeping your hands on your heart. Now, find 10 things you can be grateful for around this situation. Really challenge yourself (and the intrusive thoughts telling you there is nothing to be grateful for) to think about any upsides, even if they are small.

Example-“I am grateful for my challenging boss as it is helping me to grow and learn the value of standing up for myself.” Or “I am grateful for the time I spent with my ex-partner, as it taught me what I really need in my relationships moving forward.”

You can repeat this process for other situations or areas of your life also.

6.) Once you have come up with 10 things that you feel grateful for around this situation, notice what thoughts and feelings have arisen for you now. Notice if any solutions or new ways of looking at things have emerged.

7.) With this feeling in mind, hold onto your bowl of water one last time. Really allow yourself to accept the situation or changes that have occurred. Really feel into all that you feel thankful for. Repeat quietly to yourself- “thank you.”

8.) If using, do your Taurus New Moon Reading. In this video reading, you will be guided to select one of three cards. The card you choose will hold a special message for you. This video is available to YouTube Members only- join for access to all the lunar readings!

9.) Take your bowl of water and leave it in a safe space to charge overnight. In the morning, you can place your water into a spray bottle and use it whenever you need a boost of gratitude or acceptance. Alternatively, you can wash your hands and body in the water and allow the gratitude water to soak into your being.

Happy Taurus New Moon!
