🌕 COSMIC OVERVIEW: This New Moon occurs at 7°46′ of Taurus on April 27th, 2025, at 20:30 UT.
Now, to give some context: this isn’t just an isolated lunar event. It connects multiple cycles that we’ve been walking through for some time:
A three-year lunar cycle that started with the Taurus Solar Eclipse on April 30th, 2022.
- A culmination cycle that peaked at the Taurus Lunar Eclipse on October 28th, 2023.
Lunar eclipses are full moons on steroids—they bring revelations, emotional intensity, and often closure. That eclipse highlighted what had ripened or reached saturation in your Taurus-ruled area of life. It may have revealed where you were still clinging to outdated forms of safety or resisting the call to change. Something likely came to light that showed you what was no longer sustainable. This Taurus New Moon, six months later, invites you to consciously release that weight and begin again on new soil.
So what we’re experiencing now isn’t just a new beginning—it’s also a release. A karmic closure. Something you’ve carried over time is reaching its end.
🪐 THE ASTROLOGICAL SIGNATURE: Let’s break down the sky:
- Mars in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius — This is exact on April 26th, but the tension is active all week. Mars is our willpower, drive, and how we assert ourselves. Pluto is deep, hidden power—psychological patterns, subconscious fears, or collective control mechanisms. When these two oppose, we are pulled between our personal will and the collective reality. This may manifest as power struggles, rebellion, or feeling like your actions are being controlled by unseen forces.
- Sun, Moon, and Mars all at 1°12′ of fixed signs earlier in the week — This was the third quarter moon on April 21st. Think of this as a final turning point before the New Moon. Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) resist change—but this alignment demands it. If you felt edgy, stuck, or strangely motivated to act—it was this configuration asking you to wake up.
- Venus conjunct Saturn and the North Node in Pisces — Venus is exalted in Pisces, meaning she expresses her energy at her highest capacity here: in love, beauty, spirituality, and compassion. Saturn brings commitment, seriousness, and karmic consequences. The North Node represents where we’re headed, both collectively and personally. When all three come together, we’re being asked to elevate what we love—and commit to it, even when it’s uncomfortable. This is a once-in-a-lifetime aspect. It may feel gentle—but it’s deeply transformative.
- Mercury conjunct Neptune in Aries — Mercury rules our thoughts, words, and communication. Neptune rules dreams, intuition, and illusions. This conjunction brings vision, but it also brings fog. Don’t believe everything you hear. And be careful what you say—because words can either enchant or deceive.
- Uranus sextile Venus–Saturn–Node cluster — Uranus is the planet of awakening. In Taurus, it has been disrupting what we consider secure or comfortable since 2018. This sextile supports change—but encourages it through awareness and inspiration, not force. You may suddenly realise what needs to shift—but only if you’re listening.
- Black Moon Lilith in the grand cross — Lilith represents what we suppress, where we feel unseen or unacceptable. In a grand cross configuration with Mars, Pluto, and the New Moon, this energy becomes a pressure point. Suppressed anger or rejection may surface. But it’s not here to destroy—it’s here to liberate.
🌱 THE SPIRITUAL INVITATION: This New Moon is in Taurus, a sign associated with the Earth, embodiment, simplicity, beauty, and security. But with so much dynamic energy activating it, Taurus is anything but calm right now.
We are being asked:
• What do you truly value?
• Where are you clinging to comfort out of fear?
• What would it mean to root your sense of safety inside yourself—not in things or people?
Venus, the ruler of Taurus, is offering us a deeply spiritual alternative to consumerism and control. Instead of grasping, we’re being shown how to offer. To give. To serve. To anchor beauty into a chaotic world.
Remember: exaltation doesn’t mean easy. It means potential. And this potential only activates when we show up in full integrity.
🗓️ CYCLES TO REMEMBER: Mark these dates. They tell the story of what’s unfolding:
• April 30, 2022 — Taurus Solar Eclipse (Seed planted)
This eclipse marked the beginning of a new three-year cycle in Taurus. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun, temporarily blocking the Sun’s light—symbolically marking a reset. In Taurus, this reset was deeply rooted in themes of survival, stability, and embodiment. It initiated changes in our relationship to money, food, values, and our physical bodies. Collectively, it asked: what do we really need to feel safe and whole?
For many, it planted the seed of a shift in lifestyle, finances, or physical well-being—even if those changes weren’t obvious at the time. It might have brought a new relationship, job, or investment, or a slow-burning desire to change how you live on the Earth. Taurus always works slowly, but with lasting power. This eclipse set the tone for the material and spiritual transformations now ripening under this New Moon.
• October 28, 2023 — Taurus Lunar Eclipse (Full bloom / Crisis)
A Lunar Eclipse is a turbo-charged Full Moon, and in Taurus, it illuminated the fruits—or consequences—of what began in April 2022. This was not a comfortable lunation. Lunar eclipses often bring emotional clarity, but also endings. It showed us where we were still grasping for false security, where comfort had calcified into stagnation, and where we had become too attached to the physical or familiar.
The Taurus Lunar Eclipse may have brought financial realizations, relationship awakenings, or even literal losses—of jobs, homes, or illusions. It revealed where we were clinging, not trusting. And with Uranus active in Taurus at the time, many of these changes came as shocks or unexpected turns. Yet every unraveling was also an invitation to realign with what truly matters. It cleared the path for this April 2025 New Moon to root new values in more fertile, soulful ground.
• April 27, 2025 — Taurus New Moon (Completion & new soil)
• January 26, 2026 — First Quarter Moon at 6° Taurus (Turning point)
• October 26, 2026 — Full Moon at 2° Taurus (Culmination)
So what begins now will continue developing until late 2026. This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a long path of reclamation and refinement.
💬 FINAL WORD (for this segment): This is a moment of potent contrast. Fire (Mars, Mercury in Aries), Earth (Taurus), Water (Venus in Pisces), and Air (Pluto in Aquarius) are all activated.
You may feel pulled in multiple directions: desire to act, need to ground, call to dream, and pressure to transform.
It’s okay to feel stretched. The key is not to rush, but to root. To pause. And to listen to the deeper wisdom emerging from within you.
The New Moon is calling you to let go—not just of things, but of ideas that no longer serve. You don’t need to be certain. You only need to be present.
🌕 In the next segment, we’ll begin our sign-by-sign reflections, starting with Aries, Taurus, and Gemini.
But for now—breathe. And consider: What are you ready to release, in order to begin again?
♈ ARIES | Sun, Moon, or Rising
For you, Aries, the Taurus New Moon activates your 2nd house of money, possessions, self-worth, and survival needs. This is not just about income—but about the relationship you have with what sustains you. It asks: what do you value, and do you value yourself enough to protect and grow what truly matters?
This New Moon is part of a cycle that began with the solar eclipse on March 29th, 2025—which took place in your sign. That eclipse seeded something new around personal identity and independence. But now, the focus shifts to what supports that identity: your material foundation.
Looking back further, the April 30, 2022 solar eclipse also occurred in this same house of Taurus. At that time, you may have felt a call to change your relationship to money, to stabilize your physical life, or to rethink what truly makes you feel safe. That might’ve been the start of a business, a new job, or a deep reassessment of your spending habits and values.
By the October 28, 2023 lunar eclipse, any illusions around finances or self-worth were likely exposed. If you experienced unexpected expenses, shifts in income, or crises of confidence, they were part of a larger arc meant to help you mature your value system.
Now, this New Moon helps you release the final layers of false security and plant new seeds of abundance—ones based on inner confidence, not external validation.
⚖️ The Mars–Pluto opposition spans your 5th and 11th houses, stirring tension between personal expression and your place in the collective. Are you asserting your voice enough in group dynamics? Or over-identifying with the crowd?
Venus, exalted in Pisces and moving through your 12th house, is calling you inward. With Saturn and the North Node there too, this is a sacred time for spiritual realignment. Your soul is learning to trust the invisible—the realm of dreams, intuition, and karmic purpose. Release what no longer serves. Anchor into your truth.
♉ TAURUS | Sun, Moon, or Rising
This is your New Moon, Taurus. It takes place in your 1st house of identity, body, and life direction. And it carries the full karmic weight of the last three years.
Back in April 2022, the solar eclipse in your sign planted the seed of personal reinvention. Whether you chose it or not, something within you began to shift. Maybe you changed your appearance, your career, your lifestyle. That eclipse asked: who are you becoming?
By the time of the October 28, 2023 lunar eclipse, something cracked open. That eclipse was also in your sign—bringing a moment of emotional intensity or public revelation. A truth may have surfaced around how others see you versus who you truly are. Perhaps a personal relationship reached a breaking point. Or you outgrew an identity you once worked hard to build.
The March 29, 2025 eclipse helped set the tone internally, likely bringing a sense of solitude, spiritual cleansing, or a deep emotional reset.
Now, with the Taurus New Moon, you’re invited to claim the new version of you. Not the person others want you to be—but the one your soul came here to embody.
⚖️ The Mars–Pluto opposition activates your 4th and 10th houses, stirring tension between home and career. You might feel like your public life is shifting while your private foundation is being restructured. Let go of outdated definitions of success.
Meanwhile, Venus, Saturn, and the North Node in Pisces bless your 11th house of future vision, social contribution, and kindred community. What does your next chapter look like? Who are the allies walking with you? It’s time to get serious about your dreams and the people who share them.
♊ GEMINI | Sun, Moon, or Rising
The Taurus New Moon lands in your 12th house, a deeply spiritual and hidden realm. This is the area of life associated with endings, retreats, the unconscious, and karmic residue. It’s the house of what you carry behind the scenes—and what you’re finally ready to surrender.
The March 29, 2025 eclipse took place in your 11th house—seeding new ideas around community, networks, and the vision you hold for your future. But before that vision can flourish, something behind the curtain must be released.
Back in April 2022, the solar eclipse in this 12th house likely began a process of letting go. Maybe a chapter ended in your life—a relationship, a living situation, or even a psychological pattern. It may have felt quiet, but it was profound.
By October 28, 2023, the lunar eclipse made that process louder. You may have experienced fatigue, emotional overwhelm, or a sudden realization that you’d outgrown something—even if you didn’t know what would replace it.
Now, this New Moon offers you a fresh start, not through doing—but through undoing. Through forgiveness, silence, rest, and healing. This is a beautiful time to retreat, reflect, and reset before your birthday season in just a few weeks.
⚖️ The Mars–Pluto opposition lights up your 3rd and 9th houses—your mind and your beliefs. Expect tension between your inner dialogue and your broader worldview. Be mindful of what you consume mentally. This is a time to deepen—not scatter—your focus.
Venus, Saturn, and the North Node are moving through your 10th house of career and public life. Something karmic is unfolding here—a major decision, commitment, or invitation to align your work with your spiritual purpose. Success now is less about status, more about soul.
♋ CANCER | Sun, Moon, or Rising
For you, Cancer, this Taurus New Moon lights up your 11th house of community, vision, and the future you’re building. This is where dreams are seeded—not just for yourself, but shared among allies, friends, and soul family. What kind of world do you want to live in? And who do you want beside you as it unfolds?
Back in April 2022, the Taurus solar eclipse may have brought new connections, ideas, or a budding sense of belonging to a group or cause. You may have entered a new social environment or started dreaming bigger—but perhaps didn’t have the full clarity yet on how it would evolve.
By the October 2023 lunar eclipse, the gap between your vision and reality may have become undeniable. Maybe you felt isolated, disillusioned by certain communities, or reached a crisis point about whether your goals still aligned with your heart.
Now, with the Taurus New Moon, you’re planting new seeds for long-term dreams that are built from both vision and discernment. Choose your companions wisely. Your future is too important to build with those who don’t truly resonate.
The March 29, 2025 eclipse in your 10th house may have already shifted how you show up in the world professionally. Now the question is: what kind of legacy do you want to leave?
⚖️ The Mars–Pluto opposition activates your 2nd and 8th houses—resources, intimacy, and power. You may feel pressure around finances, inheritances, or shared agreements. It’s time to reclaim your value—without depending on others to validate or sustain it.
Venus, Saturn, and the North Node in your 9th house are calling you into deeper spiritual alignment. What do you believe? And are your choices reflecting those beliefs? Commit to a path that uplifts and stretches your faith.
♌ LEO | Sun, Moon, or Rising
This New Moon lands at the very top of your chart, Leo—your 10th house of career, life direction, and public visibility. If you’ve felt unclear or stalled in your professional path, this is your cosmic cue to reset. A new chapter of leadership or recognition is forming.
Think back to April 2022. What were you dreaming of then? Did you change jobs, begin a new project, or feel a shift in how others see you? That solar eclipse opened the gate—but the full picture likely hadn’t formed yet.
By October 2023, during the lunar eclipse, you may have encountered a public turning point—perhaps a professional shake-up, a moment of decision, or a feeling that your reputation or ambitions were being tested.
Now, with this Taurus New Moon, you get to choose your legacy. Not the version of success handed to you—but the one aligned with your soul.
The March 29, 2025 eclipse in your 9th house likely stirred your hunger for meaning—perhaps through travel, study, or spiritual inquiry. Now, you’re being asked to apply that meaning in a tangible way.
⚖️ The Mars–Pluto opposition falls directly across your 1st and 7th houses, bringing themes of relationship tension, self-assertion, and projection. Where are you taking on too much—or not enough—in relationships?
Venus, Saturn, and the North Node in your 8th house are not subtle. They’re asking you to go deep—into intimacy, trust, shared power, and perhaps financial entanglements. This is karmic territory. You are not meant to go it alone—but you must choose your energetic partners carefully.
♍ VIRGO | Sun, Moon, or Rising
This Taurus New Moon falls in your 9th house of higher wisdom, philosophy, publishing, teaching, and long-distance journeys. For you, this is about expanding beyond your current framework. You’ve outgrown some belief—or worldview—and now it’s time to rise into something higher.
Back in April 2022, you may have started to explore new truths—spiritual, intellectual, or cultural. Perhaps you enrolled in a course, planned to travel, or began questioning the path you were raised on.
By the October 2023 lunar eclipse, clarity likely came through contrast. Maybe a worldview collapsed. Or you realized your purpose needed to evolve. For some, legal matters or educational choices may have surfaced.
Now, the New Moon helps you reimagine your purpose—rooted not in perfection, but in alignment.
The March 29, 2025 eclipse in your 8th house may have unearthed deep psychological or emotional processes, especially tied to intimacy or shared resources. Now, you are invited to rise from the underworld with renewed clarity.
⚖️ The Mars–Pluto opposition hits your 12th and 6th houses, awakening the axis of rest and labor, spirit and service. Burnout is possible. You need to honour your limits and restructure your daily routines.
Venus, Saturn, and the North Node are blessing your 7th house of partnerships. This may be a sacred commitment, a karmic lesson, or a chance to deepen intimacy with someone truly aligned. Long-term collaborations—whether romantic or business—are being seeded now.
♎ LIBRA | Sun, Moon, or Rising
This Taurus New Moon takes place in your 8th house of shared resources, intimacy, and transformation. This is the house of depth, the underworld, the things we don’t talk about at dinner but which shape our inner reality—death, sex, inheritance, debt, psychological power.
Back in April 2022, a new cycle began here. You may have entered into a new financial agreement, begun a serious relationship, or faced something raw and honest about your emotional dependencies. That eclipse asked: what are you ready to share, surrender, or heal?
By the October 2023 lunar eclipse, the discomfort of these changes likely peaked. Perhaps you realized you’d overextended your trust, or needed to renegotiate a power dynamic in your personal or financial life. The shadow came to light.
Now, this New Moon helps you reclaim your power—not through control, but through clarity. You can step into deeper intimacy and commitment, but only by honoring your own sovereignty.
The March 29, 2025 eclipse in your 7th house of relationships may have brought shifts in key partnerships. Now you’re integrating what you’ve learned by redefining emotional contracts and trust.
⚖️ The Mars–Pluto opposition activates your 11th and 5th houses, stirring friction between your future dreams and your need for authentic self-expression. Are you compromising your joy to fit into a crowd?
Venus, Saturn, and the North Node are grounding your 6th house of daily life, health, and service. This is about sacred structure—bringing discipline to your routines and building a life that nourishes body, mind, and soul.
♏ SCORPIO | Sun, Moon, or Rising
The Taurus New Moon falls in your 7th house of relationships, contracts, and one-on-one dynamics. This is your opposite sign—your cosmic mirror. And right now, the reflection is powerful.
The April 2022 solar eclipse likely initiated new relational themes: a meeting, a separation, or a new contract of intimacy or business. That was the beginning of a deeper story about how you relate—and what you require in return.
By October 2023, the Taurus lunar eclipse made the emotional stakes clear. You may have had to face imbalances in power, boundaries, or unmet needs. Something may have culminated or ended, preparing you for what must come next.
Now, this New Moon marks a new relationship cycle—either in love, collaboration, or your attitude toward connection. Are your current dynamics truly reciprocal? Do they support your transformation—or keep you in survival mode?
The March 29, 2025 eclipse in your 6th house may have shaken your work-life patterns, prompting greater awareness of stress, burnout, or your capacity to serve others. Now you’re ready to balance healing with the relational mirror.
⚖️ Mars–Pluto across your 10th and 4th houses points to home–career tension. Perhaps your ambitions are clashing with emotional needs. Or family dynamics are being stirred as you rise into a new level of visibility or leadership.
Venus, Saturn, and the North Node in Pisces are nourishing your 5th house—love, children, and creativity. You’re being asked to honor what brings joy—not just duty. Romance may deepen now, or creative projects gain long-term traction.
♐ SAGITTARIUS | Sun, Moon, or Rising
The Taurus New Moon activates your 6th house of daily rhythms, health, and sacred service. This is about how you show up—every day—for yourself and others. It’s the realm of embodiment, habits, healing, and the humble magic of consistency.
In April 2022, the solar eclipse here may have initiated a new job, a change in your health, or an awareness that your lifestyle needed to shift. But perhaps it felt subtle or slow to evolve.
By October 2023, that tension peaked. If your body spoke loudly then—or your work became unsustainable—it was asking for realignment.
Now, with the New Moon, you’re being offered a reset. This is your chance to reorient your time, energy, and attention. How you live is how you serve.
The March 29, 2025 eclipse in your 5th house stirred creative longing and perhaps invited a new relationship, project, or desire to reclaim joy. Now you’re finding the systems that can support that joy sustainably.
⚖️ The Mars–Pluto opposition activates your 9th and 3rd houses—your belief systems and daily mindset. Are you thinking too small for your soul? Or talking a big game without action? Integrate vision with practice.
Venus, Saturn, and the North Node are in your 4th house—rooting you in a more authentic emotional home. This could mean a literal move, family work, or defining what safety really means for you. Long-term foundations are being laid.
♑ CAPRICORN | Sun, Moon, or Rising
This Taurus New Moon activates your 5th house of creativity, joy, romance, and children. It’s a reminder that you’re allowed to create beauty and pleasure for its own sake—not everything must serve a purpose. What would it feel like to express without pressure, love without fear, and play without guilt?
The April 2022 eclipse may have initiated changes in your romantic life, artistic pursuits, or relationship with your inner child. It might have invited new creative projects or brought children into focus—literally or symbolically.
By October 2023, the lunar eclipse revealed what in this area had matured—or fallen out of alignment. Did a romance reach a turning point? Were you called to step more fully into a role of artistic or emotional leadership?
Now, this New Moon invites you to reclaim joy. To plant seeds not for strategy, but for love. It’s okay to not have the next ten steps figured out—your soul knows how to dance forward.
The March 29, 2025 eclipse in your 4th house may have shaken your sense of home, family, or belonging. Now you are rediscovering the light through creative expression.
⚖️ Mars and Pluto are pressurizing your 2nd and 8th houses, highlighting issues of income vs. shared resources. It’s time to assess where your power is entangled with others’ expectations.
Venus, Saturn, and the North Node in your 3rd house support serious communication, writing, and learning. Your words have weight now. Use them intentionally—whether to teach, write, or renegotiate.
♒ AQUARIUS | Sun, Moon, or Rising
This Taurus New Moon lands in your 4th house of home, roots, family, and inner security. It’s your invitation to ground. To listen to the whispers beneath your feet and ask: where do I belong, and how do I build from there?
Back in April 2022, the solar eclipse may have brought shifts to your living situation, family structure, or emotional base. It began a deeper inquiry into your ancestral story and personal foundation.
By October 2023, the lunar eclipse asked you to release what no longer supported your growth—perhaps a move, a family pattern, or a belief about safety that had expired.
Now, the New Moon invites a new root system. What kind of home supports your next becoming? Whether literal or emotional, this is about cultivating sanctuary.
The March 29, 2025 eclipse in your 3rd house likely shifted your mental landscape, communications, or sibling relationships. Now, you’re integrating those insights into your foundation.
⚖️ Mars–Pluto activates your 1st and 7th houses—your identity vs. relationships. Are you compromising your individuality to maintain peace? Or ignoring relational lessons that want your attention?
Venus, Saturn, and the North Node in your 2nd house are helping you clarify your values and rebuild financial sovereignty. What do you really need to feel safe and self-possessed?
♓ PISCES | Sun, Moon, or Rising
The Taurus New Moon blesses your 3rd house of communication, mindset, and everyday life. This is where thoughts become patterns, words become spells, and small shifts ripple into large consequences. What are you telling yourself—and is it true?
The April 2022 eclipse may have begun a shift in your daily habits, relationships with siblings or neighbors, or a call to express yourself more courageously.
By October 2023, the lunar eclipse likely brought revelations—around your voice, your schedule, or how you mentally process the world. You may have realized what conversations were no longer nourishing, or what skills needed to be reclaimed.
Now, this New Moon helps you reset your mental field. What are the words and beliefs you are ready to plant?
The March 29, 2025 eclipse in your 2nd house likely stirred issues around self-worth and finances. Now you’re learning that your thoughts must align with your values in order to create lasting change.
⚖️ The Mars–Pluto opposition plays out between your 6th and 12th houses—work and rest, service and spirit. Be cautious of overwork or self-sabotage. Integration and balance are key.
Venus, Saturn, and the North Node are in your 1st house, amplifying your spiritual authority and karmic calling. You’re stepping into a long-term transformation of identity. This is your moment to embody everything you’ve been healing.
