New Moon will delve into Taurus on Apr 27th at approx. 3:31pm – this New Moon is about taking action on rooting and growing whatever began in the last New Moon Aries cycle. Taurus Moon is possibly the best and often most enjoyed placement in general for the Moon in that it creates a more solid and grounded foundation in dealing with one’s emotions, slowing them down to act on them rather than react to them. Sensuality and a tendency to indulge in one’s senses can manifest here and there may be more interest in the things we value and find worth in, such as our possessions. But because it’s ruler Venus is still in its final stages of Pisces at an anorectic degree, there could be a closing of the door on material items, indulgence, and a letting go of those things once valued and found worth in — no surprise considering the current state of the world right now where people are more likely to zip wallets tighter in order to prepare and set sights on what’s in store for the financial future ahead. The squares to Pluto Aquarius and Mars Leo forming a T-square are potent energies that cannot be avoided and may force a re-evaluation of emotions and family dynamics in areas of spending, money, paying bills, investments, material items, etc. especially when interacting with others and in groups and in how one wants to stand out and shine. So, though this New Moon has that fresh Aries essence to it, the Taurus component can entice a desire to appreciate the more simpler things in life, such as admiring blooming pretty spring flowers…. Remarkably, all planets are direct right now showing a forward progression in their energies at least. Blessings during this New Moon Taurus and to feel gratitude in what ‘we have’.
