New Moon in Taurus — the article

On April 27th at 3:31pm EDT, the New Moon becomes exact in almost 8 degrees of Taurus. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle.  Click here to watch my video on the subject.

Get quiet and listen for new messages or ideas as best as you can. If you pick any up, fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle — I will share this process later in the forecast and give you the best and most potent times for it.

Before we jump in, I invite you all to join me on April 26th at 11:30am EDT for a FREE event. I will be doing another STAR HOUR via the Soulivity community platform. Please join us live to get the maximum benefit! After April 26th, feel free to watch the replay, here!

This is a FREE event for anyone curious about Astrology, has questions about controversial issues, or has a hard time wrapping their head around something. Invite Family and Friends! ==> RSVP here

First, let me just say that Pluto, the planet most associated with transformation and the path towards greater inner power — is currently in Aquarius, and is exalted at the time of the New Moon (because it slows down for its yearly Retrograde phase) 

Since Pluto will be exalted from April 22nd until May 19th, we will feel its powerful, transformative energy not only with this New Moon, but also very strongly with the next Full Moon which will be in Scorpio.

Secondly, This New Moon squares Mars in Leo and the exalted Pluto in Aquarius, creating a T-Square. 

Squares signify important turning points that inspire us to shift our perspective and direction to make progress. They encourage us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond our previous boundaries and the comfort zones we have been in until now.

This particular T-Square has the Sun and Moon in Taurus as the focal planets; we might feel the stress of fast-paced interactions with others or life itself. We are asked to reinvent how we handle this stress.

Taurus longs to take it easy and enjoy life. It loves comfort and a comfortable routine, physical and material safety, and security. So, how can we work with this “stretch” aspect and keep our cool?

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 5-10 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

The New Moon is also the best time to set powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and not during a Moon void of course phase.

This month, the best and most potent time to set intentions would be between 3:32pm on Sunday, April 27th, and 3:31 pm on Tuesday, April 29th. The only exception will be a 1-hour period on Monday night/Tuesday very early morning, April 28/29th — there will be a brief Moon VoC between 1:18am and 2:34am. All of the above times are given in US East Coast time.

If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US-Eastern Daylight Savings Time), join my Facebook Page or follow me on Instagram, Twitter  (X), or Threads. I will post reminders on April 27th, 28th, and 29th — to let you know that it’s the best time to set your intentions.

Again, feel free to join us for the next monthly Forecasting Forum live on May 14th at 6:30pm EDT. Save the date! We will talk about Saturn’s shift into Aries, another important planetary change.

Saturn’s first pass into Aries will occur on May 24th! It will journey there until Sept. 1st, 2025, and after dipping back into Pisces for 5 months, it will remain in Aries until April 2028!
