Taurus season is already well underway, with just over a week before the Sun moves into Gemini—but before that, we have a Taurus new moon on the horizon.

As the grounded and stable bull of the zodiac, this new moon invites us to find solid ground, lean into our sensuality, and focus on practical, earthly matters. It arrives this Saturday, May 16, at 4:03 p.m. EDT, and depending on where it lands in your birth chart, we all have something different to expect. Here's what to know.

Note: Be sure to check your sun and rising signs.

Aries

How are things looking on the financial front, Aries? With the Taurus new moon landing in your second house of material possessions and financial security, this is the perfect time for you to double down on your budget (and even make some money moves).

Be open to financial opportunities that might present themselves, and remember that abundance comes in many forms, not just money. Think assets, gratitude, and even your time. The second house also deals with self worth, so you could have important insights around where you're selling yourself short. Remember that what you seek is seeking you.

Taurus

Happy birthday season, Taurus! With the new moon in your sign, that means its moving through your first house of self-image and identity. Naturally, this time of year feels like a checkpoint for you, as you finish one year and enter the next, and you can use this energy as a springboard into your next chapter.

The new moon in your sign is a chance for you to focus in on how far you've come—and where you'd like to go. You take your values and your own seriously, and your self image could feel even more clear than usual right now. Take that clarity and run with it, trusting the inspiration that comes to you.

Gemini

While new moons are typically a time for beginnings, Gemini, this one could feel a bit different for you. That's because it's activating your 12th house of endings, closure, and the subconscious, which can result in sentimentality, reflection, and even grief. Considering the next new moon is in your sign, this moon offers you a chance to slow down and reflect beforehand.

We are coming up on your birthday, after all, so as you prepare to step into your next chapter, pay close attention to your dreams, intuition, and subconscious. The energy of this Taurus new moon is asking you to stabilize in order to move forward.

Cancer

Feeling social, Cancer? You're typically more of a homebody, but this warm and fuzzy Taurus new moon is in your 11th house of community and larger networks. As such, you might feel more inclined than usual to lean into your community or put yourself out there.

Be open to invitations and opportunities to meet new people—you never know what could have long-term potential. And since Taurus is a value-driven sign, you might have insights around whether the groups you're already a part of feel aligned with your larger vision. In any case, connections you make now could benefit all parties involved, so don't be shy!

Leo

If things have been getting stale on the career front, Leo, you'll be happy to know this Taurus new moon is activating your 10th house of public image, destiny, and career. That said, now's the time for your purpose to level up. Considering Taurus forms a harsh square to your sign, you could feel the pressure building to make moves.

Taurus does, after all, remind us to bring our goals into the physical, material realm, with this new moon inspiring you to make strides in your career. This could look like a promotion, reaching a wider audience, or pivoting to a new job altogether. Whatever the case may be, make sure to take real, practical steps in that direction.

Virgo

Virgo, not only is this new moon in a fellow earth sign—but it's also landing in your ninth house of travel, higher learning, and philosophy. As such, you might feel inclined to take a spontaneous trip, but this energy can also speak to expansion of your mind.

Perhaps you use this moon to delve into a deeper level of knowledge in an area that interests you, or you pick up a course you've been eyeing. In any case, you're like a conduit for wisdom right now, so lean into it. Taurus appreciates indulgence and pleasure as well, so don't be afraid to treat yourself to a worthwhile experience.

Libra

If you're feeling a bit moody or tender, Libra, you can thank the moon for that—it's landing in your eighth house of transformation, intimacy, and vulnerability this time around. And i
