We are building toward one of the most grounding and intention-setting moments of the entire month. We are in the waning phase of the Moon, moving through her final days before Saturday's New Moon in Taurus. This is a week to slow down, listen to what your body and heart are telling you, and prepare to plant seeds of intention in the areas of your life that matter most. The energy begins soft and intuitive, then sharpens into clarity midweek before opening into the beautiful stillness of the New Moon. If you have been waiting for the right moment to begin again, this is it.
πͺ½ Sunday, May 10th
- Moon enters Pisces at 10:39 AM PT
- Sun in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer
We open this week with the Moon shifting from Aquarius into Pisces, wrapping us in an emotional and dreamy energy that is perfect for spending time with the people you love. The Sun in Taurus also forms a harmonious sextile to Jupiter in Cancer, amplifying feelings of gratitude, abundance, and emotional warmth. This is one of those days where you can feel how supported you truly are. Let yourself receive it. What are you most grateful for in this moment? Let that gratitude be the foundation for everything that follows this week.
π Monday, May 11th
- Moon in Pisces
The Moon continues in Pisces today, keeping the energy soft, creative, and deeply intuitive. If you feel more emotional or sensitive than usual, lean into it rather than pushing through. Pisces energy is here to remind you that your feelings are information. They are showing you what matters, what needs healing, and what is ready to be released before the New Moon later this week. This is a wonderful day for journaling, meditation, or simply being still. If you use the Moment App, try a track that supports nervous system regulation or emotional release to make the most of this watery energy.
β‘οΈ Tuesday, May 12th
- Moon enters Aries at 5:03 PM PT
The first half of the day still carries that dreamy Pisces energy, so give yourself permission to ease into the morning. Then the Moon enters Aries in the late afternoon, and you will feel the shift. Aries energy is direct, motivated, and ready to move. This is the cosmic push forward after a couple of days of inner reflection. If there are decisions you have been sitting with or actions you have been delaying, Aries will give you the fire to take the first step. What is one bold move you can make before the week is over?
π Wednesday, May 13th
- Moon in Aries
- Mercury in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer
The Moon continues in Aries, keeping our momentum strong and our energy action oriented. Meanwhile, Mercury in Taurus forms a sextile to Jupiter in Cancer, opening up communication, ideas, and opportunities. This is an excellent day for important conversations, business decisions, or any kind of planning that requires both vision and practicality. Mercury in Taurus thinks things through carefully, and with Jupiter's expansive touch, you might discover a new possibility you had not considered before. Pay attention to what comes up in conversation today because it could lead somewhere meaningful.
π¦ Thursday, May 14th
- Moon enters Taurus at 7:31 PM PT
- Sun conjunct Mercury in Taurus (Mercury Cazimi)
This is the standout day of the week. The Sun and Mercury come together at 23 degrees of Taurus, creating what is known as a Mercury cazimi. This is a moment of pure mental clarity, when the mind and the heart align and you can see things exactly as they are. Think of it as a spotlight illuminating your thoughts, ideas, and communication. If you have been waiting for a sign, this is it. Write down your ideas, speak your truth, and trust the insights that come through today. The Moon also enters Taurus this evening, grounding us even further into our bodies and values. What do you truly want? Let yourself name it.
π₯ Friday, May 15th
- Moon in Taurus
The Moon continues in Taurus, and this is the quiet before the New Moon. Use today to slow down, connect with your senses, and prepare for tomorrow's powerful lunar reset. Taurus invites us into pleasure, presence, and patience. Cook a nourishing meal. Spend time in nature. Move your body in a way that feels good. This is also a wonderful day to revisit your intentions and get clear on what you want to call in with the New Moon. If you work with the Taurus Season Workbook, today is the perfect day to pull it out and begin setting your New Moon intentions.
π Saturday, May 16th
- New Moon in Taurus at 1:02 PM PT
- Mars conjunct Chiron in Aries
- Moon enters Gemini at 7:23 PM PT
This is a day of new beginnings. The New Moon in Taurus at 1:02 PM PT is one of the most grounding and intentional New Moons of the year. Taurus rules our values, our relationship with abundance, our self worth, and our connection to the physical world. This is your invitation to plant seeds in these areas of your life. What do you want to build? What do you want to grow? What are you ready to commit to? Mars conjunct Chiron in Aries also activates today, bringing a powerful opportunity for healing through action. If there is a wound around your confidence, your courage, or your ability to take up space, this transit invites you to move through it rather than around it. The most healing thing you can do today is show up for yourself. Later in the evening, the Moon shifts into Gemini, lightening the energy and inviting curiosity and connection as we move into the second half of the weekend.
π¨ Sunday, May 17th
- Mercury enters Gemini at 3:26 AM PT
- Mercury conjunct Uranus at 5:10 PM PT
The energy shifts quickly today. Mercury moves out of Taurus and into Gemini in the early morning hours, taking the mind from slow and deliberate to fast and curious. After a week of grounded, purposeful thinking, this is a noticeable gear change. Gemini wants to explore, connect, and communicate, and with Mercury freshly in this sign, ideas will come quickly. Then, later in the afternoon, Mercury forms a conjunction with Uranus, amplifying that frequency even further. This is an aspect of sudden insight, unexpected news, and conversations that open doors you did not know existed. Something surprising may come through today, and it is worth paying attention to. Stay open, stay curious, and do not dismiss the ideas that feel a little unconventional. That is exactly where the breakthrough lives.
Plant Your Seeds with the Taurus New Moon
