✨🌑 New Moon in Taurus: Sacred Shadow and Weaving Power May 16, 2026 | 25° Taurus | 4:02 PM Eastern

💚 Queens, this New Moon is abundant and auspicious. The Moon is exalted in Taurus, which means she is in her best position. She thrives here. Things can really work in our favor with this moon.

But I want you to ponder something before we go further.

This moon is conjunct Algol 🖤, a fixed star connected to the goddess Medusa. In many traditions, Algol is considered a demon star. But here is what I want you to know: Algol can bring success. It is connected to Jupiter and Saturn. It really can be a star of success and power. And in the goddess tradition, Medusa is not a monster. She is revered as powerful, wise, and protective.

🌙 So what is this moon truly asking of us?

 

It is asking us to tap into our inner Medusa.

It is asking us to connect with our sacred rage.

I know that right now many of us are carrying a lot. We are watching things unfold in the world that feel deeply disturbing. You may be feeling overwhelmed, angry, emotionally stretched, and sometimes unsure of what comes next. And still, we are being asked to keep going, keep showing up, keep being soft.

This moon says: you do not have to choose between feeling all of that and still being a creator. You are still a creator. And your rage, your shadow, your wholeness is actually what is going to fuel what you manifest.

This is not a moon for unrealistic positivity. This is a moon for weaving your wholeness back together.

I don't think people truly understand the importance of sacred rage. But this moon is going to help us heal our sacred rage where it needs healing, and use it as empowerment where we need that. Because our shadow has power. And until we embrace our shadows, really love them and be okay with them, we are going to struggle to manifest what we truly want.

In my African Goddess Rising deck by Abiola Abrams, Medusa is part of the shadow. She represents sacred rage.

She represents the parts of ourselves we have been told to hide. But she is also the part of us that helps us go down into our Heroine's Journey and connect with our power so that we can alchemize things.

This moon is going to help us alchemize. Alchemizing wounding into manifestation and shadow into strength.

 

And maybe the highest level of abundance that comes from this moon is simply that we feel more valuable and worthy than we did before.

Because that is what the Heroine's Journey does. We descend and meet our shadow. We embrace it. We come out on the other side different.

And when we come out on the other side, there is something beautiful waiting.

We weave.

Medusa is connected to the Egyptian goddess Neith, who is the cosmic weaver. Women have always been weavers, not just of cloth but of community, of wisdom, of protection. Weaving is one of the oldest symbols of the divine feminine, representing the wisdom, skill, and protection women bring to the world.

So this moon is inviting us to weave our new life, our new world. And it is the sacred rage, the shadow power, the Medusa energy that is going to fuel what we weave. That is what is going to alchemize this new world into being.

You do not need to become less emotional, less angry, or less human to manifest a beautiful life. You simply need to stop abandoning yourself.

🪬New Moon Ritual: The Weaving

For your Heroine's Journey under this Taurus Moon

 

What you need:

  • A candle

  • A piece of string, ribbon, yarn, or thread (green for abundance, black for shadow reclamation, or whatever you have)

  • A journal

  • A small bowl of water

  • Optional: tea, a blanket, music that grounds you

 

✨Step One: Arrive

Light your candle. Place your feet firmly on the floor. Take three slow breaths.

 

Say out loud or in your heart:

"I allow myself to arrive exactly as I am."

 

No fixing. No performing. No pretending. This is a space for your whole self.

 

✨Step Two: Meet Your Sacred Rage

Close your eyes and ask yourself:

What am I truly angry about? Not just personally, but collectively. What feels unfair? What feels heavy? What feels heartbreaking?

Allow yourself to feel it without judgment. Rage is not wrong. Sometimes rage is the soul refusing silence. Sometimes rage is the clearest truth we have.

 

Place your hands over your heart or your belly and say:

 

"My anger is not here to destroy me. It is here to show me what matters. My rage is sacred intelligence."

 

✨Step Three: The Weaving

 

Take your thread or ribbon into your hands.

 

In your journal, write down:

  • One fear you are ready to release

  • One truth you refuse to abandon

  • One thing you want to create this year

  • One part of yourself you are reclaiming

 

Then slowly begin knotting, braiding, or wrapping the thread. As you weave, repeat:

"I am weaving a new way forward.

I am weaving my wholeness into form."

 

Imagine Neith weaving beside you. Not rushing. Not forcing. Simply creating thread by thread. And know that Mercury is in Taurus right now, which means weaving with your hands is medicine. Let your hands do sacred work.

 

If you do not have anything to weave with, use your hands and arms. Move them as if you are weaving. Let your body do the work.

Nothing is wasted here. Not the grief. Not the rage. Not the longing. Not the shadow. All of it becomes thread.

 

✨Step Four: Ground Into Yemoja's Waters

Dip your fingers into your bowl of water. Touch your heart, your throat, and your lower belly.

 

Say:

"I choose to remain rooted in myself. I choose to create beauty even in difficult times.

I trust the wisdom within me. I am held."

 

Feel Yemoja's waters cleansing and grounding you. Feel yourself settling into your body, into the earth, into this present moment.

✨Step Five: Place Your Weaving

Place your woven piece on your altar, near your bed, in your bag, or wrapped around a candle. Let it stay with you through this lunar cycle as a reminder that you are still weaving your life, even now.

Closing Reflection

Before bed tonight, sit with this question in your journal:

What kind of world do I want to help weave through the way I live, love, speak, and care for myself?

 

Because this is how women change the world. Not all at once. Not through perfection. Thread by thread. Choice by choice. Truth by truth.

📝 Your New Moon Intentions

As you set your intentions under this moon, remember what this Taurus new moon is asking of you: slow down, be patient, have a plan, and value yourself in all your expressions. This is also a powerful moon for revisiting your values. Are you living by them? Do any of them need an upgrade?

Additionally, there is Capricorn and Aquarius energy in this moon. Capricorn says have discipline and think long game. Aquarius says stay flexible and test things. Venus in Gemini says watch your mindset. What you speak into your life matters deeply right now.

Also think about what you can do today that your future self will thank you for later. And then do it. :)

UPDATE: SOUL ALCHEMY WEEKLY UPDATE May 11 through 18, 2026

 

Greetings Queens, 

I want to walk you through what is happening in the stars this week so you can move through it with intention and awareness.

Mercury and the Sun Meet in Taurus

 

Mercury and the Sun are meeting in Taurus this week and they are also interacting with Jupiter. This sets off a period of new beginnings around Taurus topics, and the cool part is those topics are ones we all care about: money, resources, abundance, and self-worth.

New ideas around money will come, but they will take time. You will need a plan and you need to be ready to work hard. Action is required and patience is required. But what that leads to is an uplevel, and that is what I love about this energy.

Jupiter is in Cancer, and what Jupiter is adding to this is a call to follow wisdom. Work with your ancestors this week. Study their lessons. Connect to the gifts they passed down to you, especially around money and resources. Trust your intuition. The more you follow this wisdom over the next 11 months, the more progress you will find yourself making. Just remember to stay detached from the outcome. You cannot be worried about whether or not it is going to work. Do your part and trust the process.

The New Moon in Taurus on Saturday, May 16th

Saturday brings a supermoon New Moon in Taurus, and this is the manifestation moon. Taurus is the energy of bringing things into form, so this is a very powerful time to set your intentions around abundance, money, and self-worth. I also want to encourage you to spend time outside in nature this week. Nature carries healing, wisdom, and abundance. Go outside, connect with it, breathe it in. Let it reset your energy and support you as you move through this week.

 

Saturn Becomes Visible

Saturn has been invisible for about 2 months, and when a planet is invisible its energy is weak and the work goes inward. Many of you may have been dealing with things around planning, structure, and discipline on the inside. Karma may have been coming up. You may have been asking yourself what cycle am I in and what do I need to do to align with it. That inner dialogue has been very Saturn.

May 12th Saturn goes visible again and things begin to shift. Saturn brings stability and order, and it has felt like things have been a little out of order lately. I am hoping that Saturn going visible plays in our favor this week. That is the main thing I want to affirm for us. Things will start to feel more within bounds and more manageable.

 

Mars Meets Chiron: May 14th Through the 18th

I want to prepare you for this part of the week. Mars is meeting with Chiron, the wounded healer, and this energy is going to be tender and challenging. Our wounds will get poked starting around the 14th and running through the 18th and 19th. You could find yourself in some kind of healing crisis, but the good news is this energy is designed to help you be brave enough to face the healing you have been putting off.

On the 15th, the moon joins this energy and emotions will be high. Something from the past may surface, something karmic or ancestral, something around your mother or nurturance. You may find yourself thinking, I thought I was over this. Give yourself grace on that day.

The 18th is the most intense day of the week. Mars is at the 29th degree and meeting Chiron at the same time. That is a hot combination. I encourage you to say prayers for your family and for the collective on that day. Be intentional and be gentle.

Moving Through This Week

 

Set your New Moon intentions on Saturday. Connect to your ancestors around money and abundance. Spend time in nature and let it restore you. And if something tender surfaces mid-week, let it come. That is the healing doing its work.

You are in the right place at the right time, Goddesses.

 

Peace and Love,

Iya Tirra🩷
