While everyone will feel an auspicious change in the air during the upcoming New Moon in Taurus, three zodiac signs will experience extra good luck. After all, this is the luckiest new moon of 2024.
According to astrologer Evan Nathaniel Grim, Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and harmony, so it will infuse this lunar phase with a sense of peace and prosperity. He tells Bustle that May's new moon will also bring about an incredibly lucky full moon in Sagittarius, which will see a Jupiter-Venus conjunction.
When two lucky planets (or auspicious stars) like Venus and Jupiter meet, it is said to bring abundance and good luck. New moons are always the best time to set intentions, so when this lunar phase reaches its peak on May 7 at 11:22 pm ET, you'll want to do your best to manifest it.
This new moon also marks the end of eclipse season, and it comes on the heels of our transformative Scorpio full moon in April—two reasons why it feels extra powerful, says astrologer Amy Philbin. "Under this new moon, there is a lot of anticipation and confidence in the future," she tells Bustle, especially for those who take the time to plant the seeds for the future.
Read on to find out which three zodiac signs will be most affected by the new moon on May 7.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Since the new moon occurs in Taurus, it makes sense that this earth sign would feel a major shift on May 7. According to Philbin, this particular lunar phase occurs in your first house of self and transformation.
Don't be surprised if you wake up on Tuesday and suddenly feel like quitting your routine and throwing caution to the wind. She says you may feel a rebellious urge to break free and follow a more authentic path rather than continuing with your daily life. After all, you are a stubborn bull.
This can work in a number of ways. While you may feel a brief moment of rebellion on May 7, this new moon also has the potential to set you on a completely new path for the rest of the year—and beyond.
"If a path beckons, it's time to believe in yourself and make bold new choices in a different direction," she said. Do you want to change your job? Have you made plans to move to a new city? This new moon may inspire you to take a step forward.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Get ready for an exciting new chapter, Leo. The new moon is in your tenth house of career and achievement, and it could shake up everything you know, in a good way.
"Over the next six months, you will broaden your horizons and sow new forms of enrichment in your career," Philbin said. "For some, it may involve international prospects. For others, it may be about realizing your new vision for life and the opportunities that arise from it."
Since Taurus is considered a hard-working sign, you may feel extra strong and focused on May 7th. You might wake up early, check off things on your to-do list, and then continue to win throughout your day. Thanks to lucky Venus, you might also get some belated recognition at work.
You can harness this energy and move forward with it. If you're inspired and ready to make a change, this moon phase could be the start of something great.
Scorpio (October 23 to November 21)
You can expect some big changes on the love front, Scorpio. Since Taurus is ruled by romantic Venus, today is a good day to give your relationships some extra attention.
This is especially true because the new moon occurs in your seventh house of partnerships, which, according to Philbin, could usher in an exciting new cycle. Since this new moon is so lucky, it's time to re-download all those long-lost dating apps. Spend your day sending interesting messages and starting conversations.
"The more fun you allow yourself, the more your partnership will flourish," she says. "Thanks to Saturn's lovely aspects, if you have the courage to express yourself, the last bits of resistance you've been harboring may fall away."
This lucky new moon may also bring about a cute encounter in real life. "You might have a chance at love," she says, so come up with some excuses to wander around town before the new moon.
