NEW MOON ASTROLOGY

MONDAY | MAY 26

The New Moon will rise in sidereal Taurus, in the star Rohini, at 11:02 PM EDT.

Taurus is a powerful place for the Moon—it’s where the Moon feels the strongest. At the same time, Venus, the planet that rules Taurus, is also in a strong position right now in Pisces. This adds extra beauty, charm, and emotional richness to this New Moon. Rohini and Venus are both connected to themes like attraction, joy, creativity, and passion. In Vedic stories, Rohini was the Moon’s favorite of his 27 wives, which gives this placement even more meaning.

The energy of this New Moon sets the tone for the next month. The Moon is strong and bright in Taurus, bringing a boost in emotional strength and resilience, even if things feel uncertain.

Right now, many people may feel their lives shifting direction. Several slow-moving planets like Saturn, Jupiter, and Rahu/Ketu are in the middle of big changes, which often bring long-term shifts in how we live and think.

There’s also a powerful alignment happening at this time called Kala Sarpa Yoga. This happens when all the planets are grouped on one side of the Moon’s nodes. It can feel like life is being shaped by forces bigger than us—sometimes intense, unpredictable, or fated.

Rahu, the North Node, is currently in a difficult part of the sky called Poorva Bhadrapada, which can bring up heavy or intense emotions.

Still, this New Moon gives us something steady to hold onto. The Moon’s strength in Taurus supports staying grounded and finding balance through the changes. Even in times of uncertainty, there’s a calm center you can return to. Be intentional, enjoy the beauty, and trust in your and our resilience.
