After fiery Aries season, the earthiness of Taurus season settles us. As we approach the end of April, this increases with the New Moon in Taurus. With an emotional pause, this lunation brings us back to our human nature, our senses and body wisdom, to simplicity, and to the parts of life that offer peace and quiet pleasure. To build with loving care, honor what takes time and to center our desires in what is real and lasting. At its heart, this New Moon in Taurus is a cosmic call to begin again, with composed clarity, fortitude and a renewed commitment to nourish what truly matters.
Symbolized by the mighty Bull, Taurus, the fixed earth sign seeks serenity and security. Sensual, strong-willed and patient, Taurus thrives with stable relationships, basic inner and outer resources, consistency and communing in nature. Resistant to change, Taurus can become stuck in a rut that results in boredom. Ruled by Venus, now in Pisces, the planet of love, connection and restoration shows up sweet and sensitive. Venus intertwined with Saturn and the North Node in Pisces, inspires us to commit to our spiritual lives, significant others and compassion.
On its own, this Taurus Moon is more steadfast, however this lunation brings growth inducing tension from a fixed T-square with Mars and Pluto. Frustration builds when Mars in Leo’s need for self-expression and swift visible progress confronts the New Moon’s need to patiently build. However, this Moon reminds us that true strength starts within, that this is the time to channel our passion with steady action into what we truly desire.
Pluto in Aquarius challenges our attachment to old systems, narratives and structures that keep us small or disconnected from our authentic self. Pluto’s relentless dismantling of what no longer fits our future, pushes us towards transformation. That we face our shadows, excavate our emotions, and examine where we are resisting necessary change or holding onto what’s familiar, even in knowing it’s time to evolve.
This lunar phase is a new beginning that calls for grounding our sense of self-worth. To intentionally cultivate and manage what we need for personal growth that supports our deepest well-being, emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually. Ask yourself: what brings me true peace? Where do I need more stability, within myself, my relationships, my work? As we awaken to a slower pace and inner stillness that becomes a quiet, capable presence, we can re-establish our footing, allowing our life to unfold in harmony with our values, on our own sacred terms.
The profound planetary energy of this lunar phase turns this New Moon into a compellingly powerful threshold. Not just a time to sow seeds, but also to transform where we plant them. What we begin now must be rooted in truth, not just comfort. With a deep sense of inner trust, this New Moon in Taurus urges us to courageously commit to the kind of life that is not only sustainable but deeply aligned with who we are becoming.
Knowing where the New or Full Moon occurs in your birthchart is the best way to understand the effect of this phase personally. If you are interested in knowing where the New Moon in Taurus occurs in your birthchart, please send me your birth information. I need mm/dd/yyyy, time of birth, am/pm (as exact as possible, birth certificate is best) and city and state of birth.
