What Is A New Moon?
If you need a recap of what a New Moon is, click here! 🌑
Astronomically speaking, a New Moon is the period of time when the moon is at 0% illumination. The Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth. This causes Earth’s shadow to fully cover the Moon leaving the night sky in darkness.
There are several different beliefs regarding the New Moon and witchcraft. Some witches believe this is the time to start new projects. Others believe it is a time of rest and recovery where no magic should be done.
What does a new moon symbolize? This is a time of introspection, self-analysis and reflection. An opportunity for a fresh start and a New You. - New Moon Rituals (Spells8)
The Sign Of Taurus
Taurus is represented by the bull, a big brutish animal that keeps its feet on the ground. This sign is grounded and stable, preferring a solid foundation to grow from rather than having their head in the clouds. The Taurus is trustworthy and reliable, often generous when it comes to helping other people. They will go out of their way to make sure the people around them have what they need. The Taurus is set in their ways. They know what works and what doesn’t so they may rarely switch things up. Though this is good for them, it can also come across as a stubborn streak when interacting with others.

The Taurus New Moon 
One thing Taurus knows how to do is align with their goals. Being goal-oriented is a great thing for this sign and it aligns well with the energy of the New Moon. We know what makes us happy, sure, but the Taurus New Moon asks us to explore that a bit further - what brings us joy, and why? While we work on achieving and understanding our goals, the Taurus New Moon reminds us that it’s also okay to stop and smell the roses. We are being guided to pause and reflect on the beauty around us, both internal and external.

Creating a routine that works for your life and your practice can be difficult. A lot of people say you have to create a daily practice, but is that entirely necessary?

Charity Or Volunteer Work
The generosity of Taurus, combined with the New Moon, is a wonderful time to embrace your philanthropic side. Make a donation of time, money, or energy to a charity or cause of your choosing. Do this with no expectations, only the knowledge that you are helping a cause close to your heart. You may also choose to make this donation in the name of a deity or other spirit - that is perfectly acceptable, as well.
Goal-Oriented Shadow Work
With the New Moon being a time of proverbial darkness and rest, Shadow Work is often a recommended activity during this lunar phase. Since Taurus energy is goal-driven and down to earth, you can work with this lunar phase to peek into your shadows and see where you might be holding yourself back. Here are some prompt ideas to get you started!
What do I believe about success, and where did those beliefs come from?
How do I sabotage myself when I’m close to progress?
What would I lose if I got everything I’m working for?
Remember, the energy of the New Moon isn’t just for the one day that it reaches its peak. Personally, I give myself a three-day window for the New Moon: the day before, the day of, and the day after. This works well for my practice and it may work for yours, too!
