Hi my lovely fam! On April 27th, we have a very strong new moon in the sign of Taurus, taking place at 7 degrees at 21:30 CET (time may vary depending on your location, but the degree remains the same). This new moon invites you to slow really think about what makes you feel secure and safe. After the powerful energy of Aries season, the Eclipse and Retrogrades from last month, this Taurus New Moon arrives like a grounding hug, here to help you create tangible changes and embody the stability you’ve been craving. Let me explain:
A Taurus New Moon: You are your home
Taurus is the Earth Goddess. I always love how Earth Day falls into Taurus Season, there are no coincidences here. Taurus is sensual, steady and determined. Ruled by Venus, Taurus reminds us that pleasure is sacred and essential to our nervous systems. This new moon is not about rushing. It’s about anchoring. Can you really allow your body to sink in and dive deeper into what safety really means for you? Without safety, you cannot be happy. So understand what brings you this feeling of peace and calm, influences the way you should think, manifest and strive forwards. This lunation asks you to root into your body, your worth, and the vision you’re cultivating for the long-term. What do you truly want to build? Where do you need to slow down and reconnect with your essence? If so, this is the perfect time.
Eclipses cracked things open…now, Taurus offers the tools to gently reconstruct. It’s a time for aligning your inner world with the outer one you’re ready to create.
Square to Mars:
With the new moon forming a tense square to Mars in Leo (thank goodness Mars is finally out of Cancer), emotions may be heightened. You might feel internal conflict between rest and urgency. Mars in Leo wants to keep things moving, while this new moon urges us to slow down. This square is asking: Where are you pushing when you actually need to pause? Or vice versa! Where are you avoiding action out of fear? It’s time to find a new way to channel your energy: firm, not forceful.
Square to Pluto:
This new moon also squares Pluto, the planet of transformation and power. This adds depth, intensity, and a hint of necessary discomfort (trust me, it’s okay). You may feel like something in your life is being tested, or like an old pattern is resurfacing to be released once and for all. Pluto squares are invitations to face the shadows and that is not always easy. If anything is coming up right now, it is probably for a good reason! This is a powerful portal for empowerment if you’re willing to meet yourself fully. Maybe there is one last thing you need to do, to really surrender to that peaceful feeling you have been looking for.

But within lies the potential for radical self-trust, self-worth, and renewal. You can dive deep this time!
You are building something lasting. Let this new moon be the bricks, the soil and the spell.
