New Moon in Taurus 2025

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!!

It's almost time for the next New Moon, which will occur in the sign of Taurus. This New Moon will reach its peak or strongest energy on 27th April for the majority of the world.

With the New Moon energy, this is a new beginning and a new start, likely due to this particular lunar event typically denoting the start of the lunar cycle.

However, there is some Taurus energy to bring into the mix because this New Moon occurs during Taurus season, which starts on 20th April (the Christian date for Easter in 2025) and 20th May.

Taurus is all about needing to slow down and making things a reality. The need to slow down comes from the likelihood that we will feel exhausted and lethargic. However this is only an opportunity for us to listen to our intuition and make any necessary changes.

This New Moon will bring us the chance to truly see where we are all talk but no action, where we do all the dreaming but don't manage to achieve. This is where we are denying ourselves the luxury and leisure to follow our dreams that would otherwise allow us to be as comfortable as possible.

Taurus is ruled by Venus, which is the planet of Love but also of luxury and comfort. This could be the gentle push that we need to look after our own selves, our dreams, our comfort, and our own luxuries because no one else will do this for us. We are just as deserving of achieving and having all of that as anyone else.

So with this being a New Moon, we are being given the opportunity to take care of our own selves. We have the chance to prioritise our own self-care, but only if we slow down and let things unfold around us while also showing ourselves kindness and gentility.

Self-care can look very different for each of us so it's important that we explore a variety of different methods to find what fits and works for us. This might even feel like a challenge to bring a practice of self-care into our lives but we need to push through this feeling as best we can.

This New Moon in Taurus is also giving us the opportunity to assess where we are in our lives because we need the elemental energy within this sign, which happens to be Earth. We need to stop, pause, reassess, balance and ground ourselves within our lives and dreams. We've come so far but we need to take some time occasionally to ensure that we are moving in the right direction by connecting with the present moment.

Based on all of this, here's a collective reading as a look at what we most need to pay attention to during this New Moon in Taurus. I used the Movie Tarot deck by

In which area of our lives do we most need to slow down?

Two of Wands

This card comes to say that we need to slow down when it comes to where we dream of going.

Now, this isn't saying that we can't dream at all but that we might want to be more conscious about where our dreams could lead us because we can't quite see our final destination on the horizon.

We also need to slow down to think about the necessary steps we have to take to make our dreams a reality. The two Wands shown in this card are acting like a door-frame where the door is open and so is the world of possibility. But without any kind of plan of action, we won't be able to walk through this "door" or make real progress towards achieving our dreams.

It's not too late for us to change our approach to make success more likely.

How can we bring a Self-Care practice into our lives?

Death

This card comes to say that we need to stop doing something so that we can make room for something new.

Think about the season of Winter, when the earth and various plants die off, either partially or completely, before Spring brings back warmth and life where previously there was nothing.

Death really is about letting go of the things (and people) that we no longer need to hold space for in our lives.

What we need to let go of might feel comfortable to us but it doesn't mean that we can't release it.

What we need to release could be a mentality, a way of thinking, a way of living, or how we view ourselves. Regardless of what it is, we need to change it and/or let go of it so that we can make space for a Self-Care practice.

How can we best use this earthy Taurus energy to reassess and ground ourselves?

The Sun

This card comes to show where we need to see and feel gratitude so that we can be grounded in a more positive foundation of our lives.

The Sun is all about abundance, gratitude and positivity - all things that are embodied by Maria in The Sound of Music. She is positive about what she experiences, and grateful for the lessons she gets taught and those teaching her.

Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of pleasure and love, so perhaps it is important that we let go of our "lack" mentality so that we can develop a positive view of ourselves and then everyone else around us. We need more love in our lives, especially when it comes to showing that to our own selves, which may not be something we are comfortable with, but is something we can achieve.

In which area of our lives do we most need to be Present?

Ten of Cups

This card comes to show us just how far we have come, what we have overcome, and who we have become. These are all personal emotional achievements that we should be more aware of.

Who we are is built on who we used to be, the experiences we have been through, the lessons we have learned.

Evolving as individuals is something we should absolutely acknowledge and celebrate because it shows that we want to be better people.

Just because there are those around us who want to remind us of who we used to be, particularly in a negative way, it doesn't mean that we have to listen to them or feel guilty about who we were. We are not meant to be the same people all through our lives or we'd stay as the babies we were born as.

There's a quote from the Doctor Who episode called "The Time of the Doctor", which first aired in 2013, that I love for this:

"We all change, when you think about it, we're all different people; all through our lives, and that's okay, that's good, you've gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be."

Knowing where we want to go in life and how to get there, plus caring for our own Selves, grounding ourselves in an attitude of gratitude, and acknowledging who we are while remembering who we used to be - that's the general message of this New Moon in Taurus.

I hope this has been helpful with how we, as a community, can harness the energies of this New Moon. If you'd like a more personal look at this time, my diary and inbox are open.

Peace and love to all!!!!
