New Moon in Taurus: Abundance & Grounding Ritual (April/May)

Understanding New Moon in Taurus Energy

If the new moon in Aries was a sprint, the new moon in Taurus is a slow, sensual walk through a garden. This is where you stop running and start building. Taurus, the fixed earth sign ruled by Venus, brings grounding, stability, and the kind of abundance that lasts.

Occurring between April 20 and May 20, the new moon in Taurus is the universe's invitation to plant seeds in fertile soil—not just any seeds, but the ones that will grow into lasting wealth, comfort, beauty, and security. This is manifestation at its most tangible.

The Taurus Archetype: The Builder & The Sensualist

Taurus doesn't chase—Taurus attracts. This sign understands that true abundance comes from patience, consistency, and honoring the physical world. During this new moon, you're being called to:

• Build lasting foundations - Create structures that support long-term success
• Manifest material abundance - Money, resources, property, investments
• Ground your energy - Connect to your body and the earth
• Cultivate pleasure - Honor your senses and enjoy life's luxuries
• Develop patience - Trust the slow, steady path to success
• Increase self-worth - Know your value and charge accordingly

Step-by-Step Taurus New Moon Ritual

Step 1: Create Your Abundance Altar (15 minutes)

1. Choose a stable surface (table, shelf, or floor space)
2. Lay down green or brown cloth (or luxurious velvet)
3. Place your green candle in the center
4. Arrange crystals in a circle around the candle
5. Add fresh flowers in a beautiful vase
6. Scatter coins around the base
7. Place your potted plant or bowl of soil nearby
8. Add any symbols of what you want to manifest (photos of dream home, money, etc.)

Step 2: Ground Into Your Body (10 minutes)

Taurus is all about the physical. Before you begin, you need to be IN your body, not in your head.

1. Stand barefoot on the earth (or floor)
2. Feel your feet connecting to the ground
3. Take 10 slow, deep breaths into your belly
4. Sway gently, feeling the weight of your body
5. Touch something with texture (velvet, crystal, flower petals)
6. Engage your senses: smell the flowers, taste honey, feel the fabric

Step 3: Invoke Venus & Earth Energy (5 minutes)

Light your green candle and say aloud:

"I call upon Venus, goddess of love, beauty, and abundance. I call upon the Earth, the great provider and nurturer. I am ready to receive. I am ready to build. I am ready to grow. I am worthy of all the abundance the universe has to offer. And so it is."

Step 4: Plant Your Abundance Seeds (15 minutes)

This is the signature Taurus ritual practice—literally planting seeds.

Option 1: Literal Planting

1. Take your seeds and soil
2. Hold each seed and whisper one intention into it
3. Plant the seed in soil
4. Water it while saying: "As this seed grows, so does my [intention]"
5. Tend to this plant throughout the lunar cycle

Option 2: Symbolic Planting

1. Write each intention on a small piece of paper
2. Fold the papers and "plant" them in a bowl of soil
3. Cover with more soil
4. Place a crystal on top as a marker
5. Keep this on your altar for the full lunar cycle

Step 5: Money Manifestation Practice (10 minutes)

Taurus rules money, so let's get specific about wealth.

1. Take your coins or bills and hold them in your hands
2. Close your eyes and feel the physical sensation of money
3. Visualize your bank account with your desired amount
4. Feel the security and peace that money brings
5. Say aloud: "I am a magnet for money. Wealth flows to me easily and consistently. I am financially abundant."
6. Place the money on your altar or in your wallet as a talisman

Step 6: Write Your Abundance Intentions (15 minutes)

Using your green pen, write 5-10 intentions focused on tangible, material manifestations. Taurus wants SPECIFICS.

Instead of: "I want more money"
Write: "I am earning $10,000 per month from my business"

Instead of: "I want a nice home"
Write: "I am living in a 3-bedroom house with a garden and mountain views"

Read each intention aloud slowly and with feeling. Let yourself FEEL the abundance as real.

Step 7: Honey Jar Sweetening Spell (10 minutes)

This is a classic Taurus practice for attracting sweetness and abundance.

1. Take a small jar and fill it halfway with honey
2. Write your main financial intention on a small paper
3. Fold the paper toward you (to draw it in)
4. Place it in the honey
5. Add a pinch of cinnamon and basil
6. Add a small citrine or pyrite crystal
7. Seal the jar
8. Hold it and say: "Sweet as honey, abundance comes to me"
9. Keep this jar on your altar or in a safe place

Step 8: Sensual Self-Care Ritual (20 minutes)

Taurus is ruled by Venus, so pleasure and self-care are PART of the manifestation process.

1. Anoint yourself with rose or patchouli oil
2. Massage your body with luxurious lotion
3. Eat something delicious slowly and mindfully
4. Wrap yourself in soft, beautiful fabric
5. Look in the mirror and say: "I am beautiful, I am worthy, I am abundant"

Step 9: Close the Ritual (5 minutes)

Place your hands on your heart and say:

"I am grounded in abundance. I am rooted in prosperity. I am worthy of all good things. What I have planted will grow. Thank you, Venus. Thank you, Earth. Thank you, Universe. And so it is."

Let your candle burn for at least 2 hours (Taurus doesn't rush). Keep your altar active for the entire lunar cycle.

Common Taurus New Moon Challenges

1. Stubbornness vs. Patience

Taurus energy can make you dig in your heels. Make sure you're being patient and persistent, not just stubborn and resistant to change.

2. Materialism vs. Appreciation

It's beautiful to want nice things, but don't let it become empty materialism. Focus on quality over quantity and true appreciation.

3. Comfort Zone Trap

Taurus loves comfort, but too much comfort becomes stagnation. Make sure you're building, not just maintaining.

4. Impatience with Slow Growth

Taurus manifestations take TIME. Don't give up after a week. Trust the slow, steady growth process.

Final Thoughts: Build Your Garden of Abundance

The new moon in Taurus reminds us that true abundance isn't rushed—it's cultivated. Like a gardener tending seeds, you must plant with intention, water with consistency, and trust the earth to do its work.

This isn't about get-rich-quick schemes or overnight success. This is about building wealth that LASTS. Security that's REAL. Abundance that's TANGIBLE.

So plant your seeds—literal or symbolic. Tend to them with patience. Honor your worth. Enjoy the pleasures of the physical world. And trust that what you're building now will bloom into something beautiful.

The earth is abundant. You are worthy. Your garden is growing.
