The Taurus New Moon is one of the most grounding and abundant lunations of the year. Taurus — an earth sign ruled by Venus — invites us to slow down, connect with our bodies, and plant seeds of intention rooted in stability, beauty, and material abundance.
Whether you're new to moon rituals or a seasoned practitioner, this guide will walk you through a simple, powerful Taurus New Moon ritual you can do at home.
🌑 What Is a New Moon Ritual?
New moons mark the beginning of a new lunar cycle — a time of darkness, stillness, and fresh starts. It's the ideal moment to set intentions, plant metaphorical seeds, and call in what you want to grow over the next 28 days.
During a Taurus New Moon, those intentions are best focused on:
- Financial abundance and security
- Self-worth and body confidence
- Sensory pleasure — food, nature, beauty
- Patience and long-term commitment
- Home, comfort, and stability
🌿 What You'll Need
- A green or pink candle (Taurus colors)
- Grounding crystals: Green Aventurine, Rose Quartz, or Pyrite
- Your journal and a pen
- Earthy incense or essential oils (patchouli, sandalwood, or rose)
- A quiet, comfortable space
🕯️ The Ritual: Step by Step
1. Cleanse Your Space
Begin by clearing the energy in your space. Light your incense or diffuse your oils. Take three deep breaths and set the intention to release any stagnant energy.
2. Create Your Altar
Arrange your crystals, candle, and any meaningful objects on a flat surface. You might add flowers, a piece of fruit, or something from nature to honor Taurus's earthy, Venusian energy.
3. Ground Yourself
Sit comfortably and place your feet flat on the floor. Close your eyes and imagine roots growing from the soles of your feet deep into the earth. Feel yourself anchored, safe, and supported.
4. Light Your Candle & Set Intentions
As you light your candle, speak your intentions aloud or whisper them softly. Be specific. Instead of "I want more money," try: "I am open to receiving abundant financial opportunities that align with my values."
5. Journal Your Intentions
Write down 3–5 intentions in your journal. Use present tense as if they're already happening. Let yourself dream big — Taurus energy supports long-term vision.
Prompts to guide you:
- What does abundance look and feel like in my life?
- Where do I want to feel more stable and secure?
- What am I ready to commit to with patience and consistency?
6. Hold Your Crystal
Pick up your grounding crystal and hold it in both hands. Breathe your intentions into it. Visualize your goals as already manifested. Feel the gratitude of having received them.
7. Close the Ritual
Thank the earth, the moon, and any guides or energies you work with. Blow out your candle (or let it burn safely to completion). Place your crystal somewhere you'll see it daily as a reminder of your intentions.
✨ Crystals for the Taurus New Moon
Crystals are powerful allies during moon rituals. Here are the best stones to work with under a Taurus New Moon:
- Green Aventurine — the stone of opportunity and luck; perfect for abundance intentions

- Black Tourmaline — grounding and protection; anchors your intentions in the physical world
🌱 After the Ritual
The new moon's energy is potent for 48 hours after it peaks. In the days that follow, take one small, grounded action toward each intention. Taurus energy rewards consistency and effort — the universe meets you halfway when you show up.
