The Moon Represents What is Happening 

Occurring approximately once every 28 1/2 days, new moons denote the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new cycle. The New Moon, as it's name implies brings something new into your life. It can be a person, an opportunity, a thought, or an idea. New Moons are a great time to initiate any kind of change or to begin attracting anything that is needed or wanted.   Due to the fact that the moon is associated with our emotions, this is often seen as a new emotional cycle.

With the Moon in Taurus, people are apt to have more patience, to feel more stable, and to be more consistent. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty and comfort so people are likely to engage in activities that bring them satisfaction and pleasure. This is a good time to do anything that requires patience and determination and yet you may find it difficult to step out of your comfort zone in any significant way.
