Embodied Awareness: How to work with the New Moon in Taurus
April 27th: PDT 12.31 | EDT 15.31 | BST 20.31
As the new moon in Taurus arrives, we are invited to tune into our bodies and feel the earth beneath our feet. This invitation to rejuvenate our senses also gives us an opportunity to build resilience. Are you ready to dig deep? Let’s explore this Venus ruled new moon together…
The earth energy of Taurus can hold and sustain foundations of stability, stamina, prosperity, and secure loving relationships. However, at the same time, it can also be challenging for Taurus energy to welcome change, with a preference to sit tight and not budge; this is a ‘fixed’ sign after all.
In ancient astrology, the moon is said to be exalted (i.e. very happy) in Taurus, evoking a sensual earth energy that can connect us to our bodies and to the natural world. Pleasure and comfort are key! This month, our Taurus new moon may find this more challenging to indulge in, as she is holding a tense conversation with both warrior planet Mars and ‘Lord of the Underworld’ Pluto (who are in opposition to each other).
The energy around this new moon may ask us to cultivate some resilience. Cathartic shifts and the need for courage and confidence may come to the fore. If this resonates; listen to your body to align with your intuition. Let the embodied vibes of Taurus be your superpower…

Five ways to ground yourself with the New Moon in Taurus:
-
Enjoy a relaxing bath: Taking a bath at the new moon is symbolic of welcoming in the cleansing energy of a new lunar cycle. Indulge in some sensual bath oil to bring some Taurean luxury to the experience.
-
Walk barefoot on the ground: Find a soft patch of grass, take your shoes off and feel the ground beneath your feet. Take a few deep breaths to connect directly to nature. Feel that earth energy…
-
Plant some seeds: Get your hands dirty – literally! Choose some seeds to plant up. As you work with the earth, consider the intentions you’d like to set at this new moon. Don’t forget to nurture and nourish your seeds (and your intentions) as the cycle progresses.
-
Delight your senses: Beautiful aromas, music, food, good company - can help our senses come alive. Bring them all together and create a special evening for a loved one.
-
Organise your finances: Sort out your receipts and accounts. This might not sound sexy but valuing your finances is honouring Taurus energy in a very practical way!
Venusian Wisdom
