New Moon in Taurus: Rooted in Change 🜃🌿

On April 27, 2025, at 19:30 UTC, the New Moon will occur in the sign of Taurus — traditionally associated with pleasure, sensuality, stability, and material grounding. However, this time, it comes with a challenge.

This New Moon unfolds within a tense astrological configuration — a Grand Cross — forming squares to Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius. This suggests that Taurus’s usual sense of calm and stability will be put to the test. On one hand, there may be a pull toward rest, even laziness or apathy. On the other — sharp internal and external tension, a call to action, transformation, and a bold reevaluation of personal values — even a total reinvention of self. 💡 The key question of this New Moon: What will you choose to plant this spring — irritation or abundance, maturity, and strength?

Venus, the planetary ruler of Taurus, is in Pisces at the time of the New Moon, forming a conjunction with Saturn and the North Node. This alignment gives the intentions set now a fated and deeply karmic tone. Everything related to love, finances, self-worth, and the enjoyment of life asks not only for sensitivity — but for mature, thoughtful choices, responsibility, and lasting decisions. ✨ Venus also forms a trine with Mars and a sextile with Uranus, creating space for bold yet mindful action. Listen to yourself and act with love — keeping consequences in mind — and your steps will become a strong foundation for the future.

Symbolically, the first lunar day of this cycle will last only until 02:32 UTC on April 28, with the second lunar day — associated with the Horn of Plenty — beginning just one minute later, at 02:33 UTC. ⚡ This nearly instant transition reflects the essence of the Grand Cross: there’s no time for hesitation. Flexibility and action are required. This lunar cycle isn’t about passive observation — it’s about decisiveness, maturity, and conscious transformation.

In the days leading up to the New Moon, Lilith in Scorpio stood in opposition to the Sun and Moon — reminding us that true desires don’t always sit on the surface. To make your intentions truly powerful and sustainable, it’s important to root them not just in superficial wants, but in your deeper impulses — even those that may feel dark, hidden, or uncomfortable.

This New Moon is especially supportive of intentions related to: • Finances and both personal and collective abundance • Building stability and self-sufficiency • Romantic relationships and restoring harmony • Strengthening bonds with children • Growing your personal brand and increasing visibility • Expanding your presence on social media • Embracing maturity and honoring your personal boundaries

This New Moon will be especially powerful for those with key placements (Sun, Moon, or Ascendant) between 5° and 10° in the fixed signs: • ♉ Taurus — a time for actively reassessing your values, confidence, and financial strategies. • ♌ Leo — challenges in relationships or creativity: the key is to direct energy, not suppress it. • ♏ Scorpio — deep fears and desires may surface — listen closely and lean into conscious change. • ♒ Aquarius — outer changes require inner maturity and a steady inner compass. 💡 This lunation may also resonate with anyone feeling the tension between stability and growth — it’s in these moments that the strongest breakthroughs are born.

🌸 1. Venus Bloom Ritual Choose a flowering plant — you can plant a new one, buy a blooming one, or simply care for one already growing in your home. Great options include geranium, lavender, or marigold — or any flower that symbolizes beauty, harmony, and abundance to you. While watering or tending to the plant, say: “With this bloom, may my intention grow. May abundance, love, and inner worth flourish in my life.” 🎶 2. Sing to Release Find a quiet space and let your voice flow — sing, hum, chant, or make any sound that wants to come out. Don’t judge it — let your voice become a channel for release. This is both a physical practice and a symbolic one — combining Mars (action) and the Taurus Moon (voice, body, vibration).

In Greek mythology, Zeus fell in love with the beautiful Phoenician princess Europa. But instead of arriving in thunder and lightning, he took the form of a radiant white bull. He approached her by the sea — calm, steady, and majestic. Charmed by his beauty and graceful strength, Europa climbed onto his back… and in that instant, the bull leapt into the waves, carrying her away to the island of Crete. There, a new story began. Europa became a queen, and from their union came kings — and legends. 💡 This myth speaks to how desire can pull us toward change. How outer calm (Taurus) can mask powerful movement toward destiny (Zeus, Pluto, Mars). ✨ In this New Moon, you choose: Will you channel your energy into anger, control, resistance... or into creation, growth, and fertility — in love, in body, in family, in life? 🛡️ Let your resolve be rooted in love. Act with care — for yourself — and may this powerful Moon bear fruit: meaningfully, and in ways that last.
