Witchy Sh!t : Taurus New Moon 2025
Resources for your rituals & practices
At 12:31 pm Sunday April 27 the Taurus new moon will occur as the sun and moon come together at 7 Taurs 46. This is the first new moon since eclipse season, and will be following Venus meeting up with the North Node and Saturn, and will be further activating the grand cross occurring between Mars-Pluto and Sun-Lilith opposions, The Uranus-Juno opposition will also still be in effect. Bottom line - this new moon is about change, letting go, and stepping into new ways of being and doing. All the oppositions will be bringing aggitation and discomfort that ask us to take a long hard look at ourselves and our relationships of all kinds.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, so her meetings with the North Node (of karmic destiny) and Saturn (rules and structure) is important to note with this new moon. Taurus Venus has an earth mama energy, think of The Empress mixed with Queen of Pentacles from the Tarot. Her focus is on embodiment, the body, and earthly related things (where Libra Venus is more of a lover girl energy and focused on our relationships of all kinds). Taurus asks us to slow down, to be in the meandering and lingering. Taurus energy does not want us to act impulsively out of reactivity, but rather organically from the natural flow of life. Taurus asks us to come home, again and again, to our body, to nurture and nourish her/him, to hear the twinges and whispers within us before going out into the world.
This slow, gentle, nourishing Taurus Venus energy may be hard to access though with the Pluto-Mars, Sun-Lilith, and Uranus-Juno oppositions all occuring. This is the time to practice slowing down when we are activated, to stay in the current moemtn as much as possible, to root down into the Earth, our body, our Soul. Our embodiment and somatic practices are vital at this time as we, collectively and individually, shift into new timeslines and ways of being. It’s going to a very bumpy ride, and the more we can root down to help keep ourselves stable but not stagnant, the better.
Here are some resources for you to utilize and motify as it feels right for you to do so as we move through this energy.
