Taurus New Moon Magic

Thanks Rachel White for having me on your Taurus New Moon Live stream! (link below)

If anyone is doing the Moon ritual I talk about in this livestream, then today is the day, Saturday May 16, 2026. The exact window of time will be between 2 PM EST and 6 PM EST.

Before or after that, the Moon is combust or occluded by the Sun’s rays. Traditionally that is a debility, so if you want to be trad, keep your ritual between 2 PM and 6 PM EST (adjust for your time zone). On the other hand, the Moon is exalted in Taurus while the Sun is peregrine, i.e. wandering and therefore weaker, so you will have to decide if and how this affects your intention or decision to do this in the first place. Also, since it is Saturn’s day, not the Moon’s day, I recommend giving Saturn respect by asking permission before you do anything with the Moon today. Just be clear with your intention; I am not suggesting doing magic with Saturn; not here.

The coast is otherwise clear, there are no malefic aspects to the Moon or Sun; in fact, it’s just the two luminaries involved. Mercury is combust and peregrine, and not challenging to the New Moon. If you want a traditional verbal component for your ritual, the Orphic Hymns to the planets are available online. One great source is Christopher Warnock's Renaissance Astrology. These are actually worth reading and contemplating as they describe each Celestial’s classical attributes.

I offer this as a simple experiment in Lunar magic. The point isn’t to get it perfect, but for those so called to try a magical operation whose results you can observe over the course of the next 28 days as explained further in live stream linked below. Have fun, but don’t do what Mickey Mouse did. Or do that, but I told you so.
