Aligning with Abundance: The Taurus New Moon’s Path to Inner Worth – April 27th 2025. The New Moon in sensuous Taurus arrives on April 27th at 19.30 gmt, inviting us to slow down, ground, and reassess the tangible aspects of our lives. It gifts us a precious pause – a moment to soften, to come home to ourselves, especially if life has felt overwhelming of late. This Moon shines its Venusian light upon the beauty we have already cultivated -the love, the grace, the small sacred spaces we have tended in our lives. It asks us to truly see the blessings we so often overlook. Beauty, after all, is a bridge to the soul.
Arriving, hand-in-hand with Beltane, the ancient Celtic celebration of blossoming life and the doorway to summer. The Earth stirs awake in full colour; the energy rises around us, calling us to open, to stretch into new beginnings, to say yes to the opportunities whispering at our door. As nature offers her feast for the senses, the air rich with life we are called to anchor ourselves in gratitude and presence. Use this New Moon gateway to honour the splendour of simplicity and the value of patience. It encourages us to align with our desires through presence and self-worth, rather than through striving or chasing.
Yet woven into this Moon are the intense energies of the Mars-Pluto opposition, with Mars blazing through Leo and Pluto journeying through Aquarius, together, they form a tense t-square with the Sun and Moon conjoined in Taurus, creating a powerful and highly charged dynamic in the skies. Creating a tension between personal will and collective transformation. It challenges us to confront power dynamics and to harness our inner strength for purposeful change.
Mars, the planet of action and drive, in the expressive sign of Leo, confronts Pluto, the harbinger of deep transformation, in the innovative realm of Aquarius. This opposition brings to the surface power struggles, both internal and external, compelling us to examine the ways we assert ourselves and the underlying motivations driving our actions. It can stir deep currents of frustration, anger, or old emotional wounds.
The involvement of the Taurus New Moon intensifies the need to find balance between maintaining our comfort zones and embracing necessary evolution.
The T-square’s energy, whilst disruptive serves as a catalyst for deep growth. While the fixed signs involved, Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius, are known for their resistance to change, this alignment pushes us to confront the areas in our lives where rigidity hinders progress. It asks us to harness the creative potential inherent in the cosmic tension, transforming challenges into opportunities for renewal and self-empowerment.
By integrating the lessons presented by the Mars-Pluto opposition, we can align more authentically with our true selves, setting the stage for meaningful and lasting transformation.
At times like this the wisdom of Taurus becomes our sanctuary. Taurus, the patient steward of the Earth, reminds us to slow down, to soften back into our bodies. We are inhabitants of a dual world, and where there is darkness, there too must be light. By choosing to see the beauty, the magic, and the blessings, we steady our spirit in gratitude and hope.
Creativity stirs beneath the surface. Hope flickers back to life. Keep it simple this weekend. Rest. Relax. Integrate. Allow your nervous system to recalibrate. This is not a time to scatter your energy, but to nourish it, wisely and well.
For some, this New Moon marks the beginning of real momentum toward long-held dreams seeds planted moons ago now pressing up through the soil. Between now and the Full Moon, expect green shoots to appear signs that the vision you have tended so lovingly is preparing to bloom.
For others, there may be endings, particularly in the realms of relationship and emotional entanglement. With Mars and Pluto challenging the Sun and Moon. If you find yourself still circling inside conflict, an unresolved pattern, an unsteady alliance, this New Moon may reveal the way forward. A moment of clarity, guiding you to resolution, to release, or to renewal.
Taurus teaches us not to rush, but neither does it linger in what is no longer true. The Bull moves with purpose, patience, and unwavering determination. Get clear on your values, honour your inner truth, and take grounded action that aligns with who you are becoming.
Whatever you have been tolerating or postponing now calls for resolution, not through drama, but through calm, steady choice. The Bull does not chase every distraction; it knows when to act, and when it moves, it moves with unshakable power. Let that wisdom move you now.
Venus, the benevolent ruler of this Taurus New Moon, finds herself closely conjunct Saturn in the mystical waters of Pisces. This union blends the boundaries, responsibilities, and discipline symbolized by Saturn with Venus’s themes of love, relationships, and material pleasure. Together in Pisces, a sign deeply connected to spirituality, compassion, and dreams, Venus and Saturn ask us to approach our relationships and creative endeavours with maturity, spiritual insight, and a willingness to commit deeply. Inspiring us to create, lasting beauty, deeply anchored in spiritual wisdom and emotional truth.
Venus’s proximity to Neptune, now sitting at the beginning of Aries brings a unique blend of visionary idealism to Venus’s practical, love-driven nature. This combination fuels inspiration, creativity, and spiritual aspiration but also warns against idealistic delusions and overly romanticized escapism. As Neptune’s dreamy visions merge with Venus’s heartfelt desires, our challenge lies in grounding our dreams into practical, tangible outcomes, balancing the ethereal and earthly dimensions of our existence.
The Sabian Symbol associated with this Moon highlights the dilemma of the moment: “A Sleigh Without Snow.” symbolizing the sensation of having potential but lacking the immediate means or conditions required to activate it. Just as a sleigh cannot glide forward without snow, we too might find ourselves poised, ready to move, yet without the energy, resources, or right environmental conditions to do so effectively. Highlighting the importance of timing and the power of patience.
We might need to creatively re-envision our current situations, tapping into imagination and ingenuity to adapt to circumstances rather than forcing progress prematurely.
Forcing ideas or feelings when support or resources are lacking results in unnecessary frustration. Conversely, when we respect the rhythms and cycles of life, nature precisely positions us to seize opportunities when conditions are right, ensuring greater fulfilment and long-term success.
This bullish Moon thus presents a paradox: it offers us the potential of fertile new beginnings yet challenges us with delays, conditions beyond our control, and the necessity for strategic patience. We’re called not merely to plant seeds but to understand thoroughly the soil and the cycles in which we plant them. The timing must be impeccable, the intent clear, and the method adaptable.
As we navigate this dynamic landscape, it becomes crucial to trust our intuitive guidance, respecting both our limitations and strengths. This alignment of planets isn’t here to try our patience; it’s a deeper lesson in aligning internal desires with external possibilities.
The deeper you root yourself in your essence, your purpose, your truth, and your vision the more powerfully this New Moon will anchor your dreams into form.
And through it all: Surrender. Trust. Allow. Receive.
Sit quietly with what is, open your hearts to the blessings already in your hands, weave gratitude through your being, and let’s root ourselves in the wonder of being Spirit clothed in matter. Wishing you all infinite new moon love and Beltane blessings.

Taurus New Moon & Beltane Shamanic Ritual: Rooted in the Bloom
Ground into the rising life force of the Earth, honour the sacred fertility of the season, clear old energies, and open to new blessings.
You Will Need:
- A small white candle (for purity and illumination)
- A bowl of water (for intuition and emotional clearing)
- A handful of fresh earth or salt (for grounding)
- Fresh flowers or green leaves (symbolising Beltane’s blossoming)
- A bell, rattle, or drum (to shift and raise energy)
- A journal and pen
Optional: essential oils like rose, geranium, or patchouli; a favourite crystal (rose quartz, green aventurine, or carnelian)
Ritual Steps:
1. Prepare Your Sacred Space
Create a small altar indoors or outside under the sky if possible. Arrange your candle, water, earth/salt, and flowers with mindfulness. Smudge yourself and your space with sage, palo santo, or simply your breath and focused intention.
As you prepare, softly whisper:
“I call in the sacred spirits of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.
I call in the light of the New Moon, the wisdom of my ancestors, and my own soul’s knowing.
May this space be blessed with truth, beauty, and grace.”
Feel the energy around you shift and soften.
2. Turn in a Circle to Honour the Sacred Wheel
Stand quietly, and turn slowly in a full circle, feeling yourself connected to the endless cycles of nature — the rising sun, the blooming Earth, the flowing waters, the dancing fires of life. Let your heart whisper thanks to all that holds you.
3. Ground into the Earth
Sit comfortably, with the earth or salt in your left hand. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply down through the soles of your feet, visualising shimmering roots growing down into the heart of the Earth.
Whisper:
“I root myself deeply into the sacred body of the Earth.
I am nourished. I am anchored. I am whole.”
Feel the solid, ancient heartbeat of the Earth rising up to meet you.
4. Release and Receive: The Water Blessing
Hold the bowl of water at your heart. Reflect gently on what you are ready to release — old fears, doubts, heaviness.
Whisper softly into the water what you are ready to let go of. Then swirl the water lightly with your fingers and say:
“As water flows, so too do my burdens flow away.
I am cleared. I am renewed. I am blessed.”
Later, offer this water back to the Earth as a gift of release.
5. Light the Flame of New Beginnings
Light your candle. As the flame rises, breathe life into your dreams and desires for this next season of growth.
Hold the flowers or greenery in your hands. Imagine your intentions blooming in the garden of your life — strong, vibrant, alive.
Whisper:
“With this flame, I ignite the dreams within me.
With this earth, I plant them in sacred ground
With this air, I breathe them into being.
With this water, I bless them to grow.”
Feel your spirit open, like a flower to the sun.
6. Raise the Energy: Drum, Rattle, or Sing
Use your drum, rattle, or simply your voice to stir the energy around you. Let your body move if it wishes — sway, circle, dance, however spirit calls you. Celebrate your aliveness, your connection to life’s great unfolding.
7. Closing and Gratitude
Sit quietly, journal any insights, feelings, or messages received.
Offer heartfelt thanks to the Moon, the Earth, the elements, and your unseen allies.
Say:
“I give thanks for this sacred communion.
I walk forward rooted in truth, nourished by beauty, guided by light.”
Blow out the candle, carrying its flame within your heart.
Final Note:
In the coming days, plant something — even a tiny seed or herb — as a living prayer for your intentions. Tend it lovingly, and know that life is conspiring with you.
So mote it be….
