The New Moon in Taurus — Slow Down Sisso, You’re Not a Machine

I’m currently sitting at the cancer clinic with my misso while she gets hooked up for her 9th round of chemo.

We’ve got the laptops out, sharing M&M’s and Red Frogs. Super cute hey. 😂

This is our weird little version of normal lately. Working from the cancer clinic and learning how to laugh and stay connected in between the shit times.

The nurses up here are the bloody best too. Shout out to Kyle who’s on today, what a bloke.

It’s funny how life changes. Like, how crazy. And honestly… the vibes of this New Moon in Taurus feels very much like that.

(Short ad break😂 My partners laptop just went flat and she's about to chuck a tanty in the cancer clinic🤣🤣🤣)

Anywho, back to writing my blog with my fully charged laptop 😂

So..... this New Moon in Taurus...

It's not forcing us to make huge changes overnight, the energy is grounding us back into what actually matters. It feels like the universe is grabbing us gently by the shoulders and saying: “Oi sisso… slow down for a minute.”

I personally struggle with that a bit.. Hence why I have 2 cold sores on my face RN. Or maybe it's because the energy lately has felt like everyone’s nervous systems are running a marathon with no water stops. LOL (Done that before.)

Taurus energy is different though. She’s slower. Softer. Grounded. Less “go hard or go home” and more “maybe sit outside with a coffee (or Jing) and, smell the flowers and regulate yourself first.” 

🌙 This New Moon is all about:

• grounding
• stability
• the body
• self-worth
• slowing down
• feeling safe
• creating a life that actually feels good to live in. Not just surviving it.

There’s a lot of talk around this New Moon being connected to a 19-year cycle, and while it’s not technically the exact beginning of one, astrologically it is linked to bigger long-term themes and shifts. The Moon moves through what’s called a 19-year lunar cycle, meaning some of us may notice similar themes, lessons, relationships, or feelings resurfacing from around 19 years ago. But more than anything, this New Moon feels like the quiet beginning of a whole new chapter. A new era. A new normal. Less chaotic “burn your life down and reinvent yourself overnight” energy… and more slow, grounded rebuilding. Relearning safety. Reconnecting to what actually matters. Building a life that your nervous system, body, and soul can actually breathe inside of.

Taurus Energy Doesn’t Rush. That’s probably the biggest lesson with this moon. Taurus doesn’t care about the hustle culture. She’s not interested in burnout being a personality trait. She’s not handing out awards for being the most stressed person in the room. Nope.. Absolutely not. 

Taurus energy reminds us that slow growth is still growth. That rest is productive. She reminds us that our body matters. That consistency matters more than intensity. And most importantly, is that healing doesn’t happen when your nervous system is permanently clenching for dear life.

Honestly this moon feels like a collective exhale. Let's do it together... Take a deep breath into the depths of your belly, filling it up completely.... Then exhale through the mouth and relax your whole body, mind and spirit. Do that 2 x more times......... aaaaah, that feels better hey.

What if Your Body Has Been Trying to Talk to You?  This moon is deeply connected to the body and nervous system. The way our physical body is responding, has something to do with what's going on with our energy. 

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, emotional, overstimulated, craving quiet, wanting to disappear into the bush for 3–5 business days, emotional over literally nothing or everything, or if you really need to ground yourself, then your soul is screaming at you through the physical body.

Taurus is pulling us (our energy) back into the simple things like:

• bare feet on the Earth
• good food
• slower mornings
• deep breaths
• stretching
• sunlight
• music
• connection
• being present enough to actually enjoy your life

"Because somewhere along the way, a lot of us learnt how to survive, but forgot how to feel safe in our body."

Taurus is ruled by Venus, so this New Moon carries a softer, heart-led energy around love, relationships, beauty, pleasure, abundance, and learning how to actually receive. It’s less about pushing and proving, and more about allowing yourself to slow down enough to enjoy life again. To let yourself be loved. Supported. Nourished. To buy the good coffee, sit in the sun a little longer, hug your people tighter, make your space feel nice, and remember that healing isn’t only found in the hard stuff, sometimes it’s found in softness too.

Sometimes life hurts. People hurt us. Things happen that crack us wide open, and somewhere along the way we start building armour around our hearts so we don’t have to feel that pain again. But what I’ve learnt is that when we close ourselves off to protect our hearts, we also close ourselves off from love, connection, joy, and being truly seen. The lesson isn’t to harden. It’s to stay open. To keep your heart soft, even when it’s hurting. Because that softness is still your strength.

 And let’s be honest… that can feel uncomfortable for a lot of us.

Some of us would rather emotionally support 47 people, organise the entire event (or in my case, wing it), trauma process in the carpark, disassociate from everything and everyone, and nearly collapse before admitting we need help, or even ask for it.

But.... this moon asks: What if you allowed yourself to be supported too? 

Use the energy of this new moon to start reorganising your life gently. Build healthy routines that include self-care moments, regulate your nervous system, reconnect to your body, create financial stability, spend less time in chaos, start choosing peace on purpose.

A Simple Taurus New Moon Ritual: (Nothing fancy needed.)

Go sit outside. Bare feet if you can. Take a few slow breaths. Put one hand on your heart and one on your stomach.

And ask yourself these questions:

• What actually nourishes me?
• What am I tired of forcing?
• What kind of life would feel peaceful in my body?
• What deserves my energy long term?

Then set intentions that are realistic and sustainable. Not “completely heal my life by next Tuesday.” Just small grounded things. Taurus energy loves consistency. Tiny steps. Real change.

Taurus New Moon Affirmation

I am learning to let go of control.
I don’t need to force or rush my healing.
I trust in slow, steady growth.
I am building a life that feels safe, grounded, peaceful, and true to my soul.

This moon isn’t asking you to do more. It’s asking you to come back to yourself.
