Calling In New Beginnings with the New Moon in Taurus This Week
Tension & Release...Leading Into Growth, Progress, & Upleveling...If We Can Stay Calm & Grounded
We’ve reached our New Moon in Taurus week, culminating in some of the most fertile, creative, and potent energy of this year for planting your new beginnings firmly in the richest, most supportive soil of the astrological signs….the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus.
Taurus rules wealth, abundance, beauty, fertility, deep embodiment of our physicality, and holds a deep connection to the natural rhythms.
Our New Moons always unlock new beginnings, and so we are deeply and richly supported by this New Moon energy as we come into the week.
Tensions Building
However, that’s not to say that it’s smooth sailing at all….We can already feel the forming of a T Square and Planetary opposition between the Sun in Taurus (where the Moon will also land on the New Moon on Sunday, April 27th) and the opposing planets of Pluto and Mars, which are both powerful (often described as malific) energies.
Pluto’s signature is Transformation….death and rebirth, Ruler of the Underworld, and if there is shadow work to be done, you can bet it will come up with Pluto in the chart!
Mar’s signature is Action, Momentum, Energy, Forward Drive, War, Sexuality, and our drive towards survival….our evolutionary force.
This T Square (the Sun in Taurus squaring off with Mars on one side and Pluto on the other) creates a tense aspect, like the moments during tuning an instrument when we might pull the string too tightly…creating a feeling of unsettled energy, tension, or a building crescendo with no clear resolution….yet…
Here’s our chart from Easter Sunday, 4-20, (happening to also be the day that Pope Francis made his last public appearance), showing us the T square forming between the Sun, Mars, and Pluto.
Yesterday, (Monday, April 21st) the Moon was void off course all day, adding to the odd floating, and unsettled energy of the day.
Today, Tuesday April 22nd (Earth Day) we had Venus (the ruler of Taurus) conjunct the North Node, leading us towards growth, especially in finances, partnerships, and relationships….urging us towards transformation.
This afternoon at about 2 or 3 pm PDT (11 am or 12 pm EST) we saw our Moon in Aquarius (ruled by Uranus) square to Uranus which might create even more tension or bring about unexpected turns of fate or events.
Fixed Signs in Astrology
Interestingly, we see the energy of all 4 Fixed signs very strongly in these charts, with Scorpio energy represented by Mars and Pluto, the ruling planets of Scorpio, and Taurus (Sun & by Sunday our Moon as well), Aquarius (Pluto), and Leo(Mars) all strongly represented in the chart, which is part of what gives us such a stuck or highly charged feeling to the energies.
It takes a lot of energy to shift in a fixed sign, but it will place us powerfully in a stable position when we do take advantage of that focus & drive to transformation, that we are being offered.
And when Mars and Pluto square off, sparks are sure to fly….that in itself gives us an incredible amount of power and drive toward transformation.
Pluto in Aquarius asks us, “What do you need to transform and release to the flames so that a new clear path open to innovations and flashes of insight can open up before you?”
Mars in Leo asks, “What are you passionately driven to create? What are you birthing into the New Earth that is forming?”.
Time To Release
By Saturday the Moon is still in Aries, conjuncting Chiron…whose energy we’ve been feeling intensely already these last few weeks.
This is the perfect time to release, let go, transmute any last visits from old pain, trauma, or hurt from past events.
Why would you want to carry that energy forward into this new beginning?
Breath is our friend….breathe….and let go.
Feel that old signature, and decide to release it to the Earth this time….so it can sink down into that infinitely fertile and healing ground and become the compost for the next levels of growth and awareness you are heading towards.
On Sunday, April 27th at about 12:31 pm PDT or 9:31 am EST, we have our New Moon in Taurus.
The T square we discussed earlier just brings more intensity to all of the energy of this transit, so if we focus our vision on the potential for growth, we can forge new beginnings with a more powerful amplitude than before.
Stepping Up To Our Highest Timeline
We have the opportunity to use this energy towards up-leveling, timeline shifting, and stepping onto our highest path, as long as we stay self-aware, grounded, and maintain clarity and kindness in our communication.
Mars opposing Pluto is also the signature of war, conflict, tempers flaring, and misunderstandings happening, so being forewarned allows you to breathe and find calm, grounded ways to communicate if those energies do come up in your relationships.
Our Opportunity
We can actively choose to lean into places where we do find harmony, balance, comfort, and connections that flow, or feel effortlessly aligned.
We can actively choose to look towards our most aligned path…for the highest evolution of ourselves and all involved.
We can actively choose to stay unattached and allow the changes that want to come in to effortlessly flow in, giving us the chance to uplevel our relationships, financial circumstances, and material surroundings as we move into our next phase of growth.
Golden Opportunity For Growth
Taurus is one of the most powerful signs for Entrepreneurs, and as we discussed last week, is ruled by the Empress energy….Effortless Oppulence, Abundance, Beauty, Ease, and Flow.
Looking, feeling, moving, and speaking like royalty. Can we align our words and messages with this way of being even when we feel the tension?
I’m curious to know how you all are feeling the energy of this week. It’s such a wild mix….and we’ve been through so many powerful transits in the last few months that are finally moving toward completion and resolution with this New Moon.
If you want to join me in a simple New Moon Ritual with the goal of harnessing this powerful energy to manifest Abundance, Evolution, and Alignment with our Highest Path moving forward, comment RITUAL below and I’ll send you a Zoom link to attend live or access the recording.
I’m so excited for this one….it is a very special New Moon, and I plan on using it to release and transmute any old energies or limiting beliefs, and to launch all my new projects and goals off towards the stars.
