This new moon in Taurus becomes exact at 13:42 UTC on 13 May 2029, with the Sun and Moon at 23°05' Taurus. Mercury, retrograde at the time, lies just 0.9 degrees from the Moon. Mars forms a trine within 2.2 degrees. Jupiter and Pluto are also retrograde, and there is no eclipse.
Taurus is the fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. Astrologers associate it with the body, comfort, possessions, patience and steady effort. A retrograde Mercury joining the new moon is traditionally read as a call to review rather than begin: to reread, recheck and reconsider. The trine from Mars is taken to lend practical stamina to that work. A grounded suggestion: go back to a small repair or household project you started and never finished.
