Waning Crescent in Taurus â slow down, ground yourself, and prepare for the New Moon ahead.
Current Moon Phase â July 9, 2026
We remain in the Waning Crescent phase, with the Moon now in Taurus. The crescent continues to support release and completion, while Taurus adds a grounding, sensual quality. The next New Moon arrives in approximately 2-3 days.
What This Means
Under the Waning Crescent in Taurus, the universe asks you to release not just emotional baggage, but physical clutter too. This is an excellent day for clearing out a closet, organizing finances, or letting go of possessions that no longer serve you. Taurus energy makes the process feel satisfying rather than stressful.
Moon in Taurus Effects
Taurus is ruled by Venus â the Moon here brings comfort-seeking, appreciation for beauty, and a desire for stability. You may feel more stubborn than usual (Taurus is fixed earth), but also more patient and methodical. Physical comforts â good food, soft fabrics, pleasant scents â are especially nourishing today.
Ritual Suggestion
Create a physical release ritual: write down what you're ready to let go of, then bury the paper in soil or a potted plant. As the paper decomposes, the Taurus earth energy transforms your intention into new growth. Speak aloud: "I return what no longer serves me to the earth, making space for new abundance."
Next Phase
The New Moon arrives in 2-3 days â begin gathering your intentions. Today's grounding work under Taurus prepares fertile soil for those new beginnings.
