What a new moon in Taurus means
With the Sun and Moon together in Taurus, this new moon opens a cycle of about four weeks that peaks at the full moon in Scorpio on May 12, 2025. Taurus is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus; its keywords: steady, sensual, loyal.
The mood slows and settles into the body: food, comfort, money, the physical world. People resist being hurried and reward being fed. A steady stretch for finishing practical things and a poor one for forcing change.
The instant is the same everywhere; only the clock reading changes. Distances are centre to centre. There is no official supermoon definition: here a supermoon is a new moon with the Moon within 360,000 km of Earth, a micromoon one beyond 405,000 km. Computed with astronomy-engine, tropical zodiac.
