As we transition from the fast-paced, adventurous energy of Aries to the grounding sanctuary of Taurus, we experience a profound change in rhythm. That shift takes us from the spark of initiation and new beginnings to the patience of fully landing in our experiences and appreciating where we are. The new Moon in Taurus supports this by helping us perceive whatever abundance is already present even as it ushers in steadfastness and slow, patient, and determined action.

When is the New Moon in Taurus?

The new Moon during the early part of Taurus season occurs on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 12:32 pm PT.

What Taurus Means in Your Life

Ruled by Venus and the element of Earth, Taurus offers us the gift of presence. By inviting us to slow down and sink deeply into each moment, it is a reminder that there is profound wisdom in stillness.

The essence of Taurus energy is beautifully simple yet deeply transformative. It teaches us that true power often lies not in constant movement, but in our ability to be fully present with what is. The natural world demonstrates this wisdom during this time of year through the unhurried unfurling of leaves, the patient blooming of flowers, and the steady warming of the Earth. It never rushes its processes and neither should we.

Taurus brings a particular emphasis on our relationship with the physical world and our own bodies. It reminds us that we are not separate from nature but are intimately connected to its rhythms and wisdom. When we feel untethered or overwhelmed, we can always return to this connection as our anchor. The earth beneath our feet, the wind on our skin, the warmth of sunlight—these simple yet grounding experiences serve as gateways back to our center.

Taurus also offers us the opportunity to return to simplicity. In our world of constant stimulation and complexity, this sign reminds us that many of our challenges can be solved by returning to basics. Sometimes the most profound shifts occur not through adding more to our lives, but through creating space to simply be.

The new Moon in Taurus encourages us to trust our senses, follow our natural rhythms, and allow solutions to emerge organically rather than forcing them through excessive thinking or doing. We are reminded that transformation doesn’t always require dramatic action or constant movement.

In these quiet moments, we discover our own unwavering strength. We possess an inner steadiness that remains constant regardless of external circumstances. This season teaches us that we are our own most dependable resource, capable of creating inner peace and stability even amid life’s inevitable changes. Indeed, one of the most powerful teachings of Taurus is the art of inner reliance.

What the New Moon in Taurus Means for You

The Moon is exalted in Taurus, meaning she loves to be here. When the Moon lands in this sign, it feels good to every part of our body, mind, and spirit. The new Moon in Taurus is a time to become absorbed in the beauty that already exists around you, to be fully present in the moment, and to take it in with all of your senses.

The new Moon in Taurus also slows us down and helps us find stillness. When we pause for even a moment, we can appreciate the life that we have created. We can begin to understand how each turn and every lesson has landed us in this exact moment. Although your life may not be perfect, it is full of possibilities, and the road that got you here is precisely the one meant for you.

The gift of presence also opens the door to abundance. When we slow down enough to fully inhabit our experiences, we begin to notice the magic that already exists in our lives.

On this new Moon, find gratitude for your life, your experiences, and your wisdom that led you to where you are right now. Be grateful for the people in your life, the air you breathe, and the opportunity to be here. From that place of gratitude, feel into what will make you even more grateful. Form your visions of the future from this feeling.

Many times our intentions do not manifest because we do not feel we deserve them. This unworthiness may be subconscious, creating blocks against all of our intentions and work. Notice if you feel worthy of your dreams. When you envision a different life for yourself or a new possibility you want to create, do you feel you deserve it? Our sense of worthiness is behind every intention and every dream.

Align with the darkness of the night and travel to the depths of your subconscious during this new Moon in Taurus to find what forms your sense of self-worth. Then create a version of yourself that believes they are worthy of and capable of creating your dreams.

The most challenging part of developing worthiness is understanding your true self-worth. We often don’t understand this part of ourselves, especially if we are already confident and think highly of ourselves. Self-worth is linked to confidence and self-esteem, although it is something distinct and different. One clue in identifying your self-worth is to look at what makes you feel secure when you are in fear. Do you look to the external world for security or do you look internally? Is your self-worth defined by numbers in your bank account, clothes in your closet, or admiration from others?

Our self-worth needs to be rooted within ourselves. When we embody high self-worth, we know that everything we need is already present. We stop looking for external validation and start looking inward for what we have to offer the world.

Taurus teaches us that we can manifest anything from self-worth. On this new Moon, align with the energy of Taurus to realize you are your greatest resource. What lies within your own frequency is greater than any dollar amount, any external comfort, or any praise from someone else. Be grateful for your wisdom, your perspectives, your decisions, and your unique life essence.

Once you realize you are a form of abundance, that type of self-worth will change your life. This process takes time, and you may not be able to accomplish it within one new Moon, but it is a journey that will change your life forever and shift your vibration from the inside out.

Other Astrological Influences on the New Moon in Taurus

This new Moon arrives with powerful planetary aspects that lend complexity and depth to its manifestation potential. With all planets moving direct, we have cosmic wind in our sails supporting forward movement and clear action toward our goals. However, these aspects present both challenges and opportunities that require mindful navigation.

The Moon and Sun at 7 degrees Taurus form challenging squares to both Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius, creating a fixed T-square. This configuration brings intensity to our manifestation process, suggesting that our dreams may require us to face and transform long-held patterns around power (Pluto) and self-expression (Mars). These oppositions create an intensified dynamic and ask us to balance personal creative power with collective transformation.

There are also supportive aspects. Venus, the planetary ruler of Taurus, is conjunct Saturn in Pisces, bringing a grounding and structuring energy to our dreams and values. This helps us build solid foundations for our visions. Their harmonious sextile to Uranus in Taurus suggests unexpected opportunities may arise that help us break free from old limitations while still maintaining stability.

These aspects encourage us to honor both our personal creative impulses and our connection to collective evolution. It’s a cosmic configuration that asks us to find the delicate balance between patience and the courage. This will allow you to take decisive action when opportunities arise.

Your Invitation

On the new Moon in Taurus, take time outdoors to ground yourself, connect with your body’s wisdom, and feel your inherent worth before considering your relationship with abundance in various aspects of your life.

Abundance comes in so many forms. You might be abundant in creativity, time, intuition, knowledge, friends, love, nature, present moments, and so many other things. Make a list of everything you are already abundant in. Sit with yourself, sit with nature, and let yourself simply be.

With the Moon amplified on this day, feel your intentions through your heightened intuition. Allow your visions to find you. Do not force them or chase them. Let them arise without much thought. Explore whatever comes to your consciousness, even if it doesn’t make sense.

This is also a Moon for being receptive. As you form your intentions, it’s essential that you feel worthy even as you continue to evolve into the person you are becoming. Let yourself dream big while also being willing to face and transform any inner resistance that arises.

Ask yourself what you desire most. Ask yourself what you are holding yourself back from and who you would be without any fear. Then write your visions for the next six months. And remind yourself to feel grateful for what you already have before contemplating what you want to call into your life.
