Happy Springtime, Lovelies! We are knee-deep in the season anytime the Sun 🌞 is in a fixed sign. The mid-season new moon allows us to set intentions that integrate the information and experience. Thankfully, the moon in Taurus is at its best. Secure, loyal, comforting, and not prone let emotional conditions negatively impact what’s tangible and of value. That’s a tall order for most of us. However, for the next 3-6 days, we’ll get to try on this vibration. So, consider how you might make it last.

Also, Venus, ruler of this lunation is thankfully at home in the earlier degrees of fixed earth. In Taurus, Venus is sensual, but concerned with stability as much as comfort, beauty, and femininity. This is a slower moving energy, too. For those looking to work on relationship issues, which are also Venus’ domain, this is a chance to solidify commitments, reinforce foundations, and show your own dependability. If it’s lacking, that’ll also be obvious. But it’s an even better time to improve if you find you’re struggling. Be careful of comforting difficult emotions with materialism. A temporary solution is not compatible with Earth energy. That’s especially true for relational issues. If you want it to last, get deep and detailed.

New Moon in Taurus 2024 Aspects

Hard Aspects

Aside from their conjunction, the Sun and Moon are in a loose conjunction to Uranus at 22° Taurus. That means this lunation may have some unexpected results or that the goals we set may break boundaries or traditions in the house where the new moon takes place. There’s also a loose conjunction to Jupiter to take place just a few hours after the new moon is exact. All the bulls’ favorite things are getting hit by Sky Daddy’s expansiveness. We’re likely to notice a substantial increase in focus on the material aspects of life.

Also, Saturn is asking that we witnessing the tangible effects of our actions and attitudes. This is a great time to set intentions to get in your bag💰. On the other hand, there’s is also a tendency for Taurus’ shadow traits to be more intense. Watch out for stubbornness, superficiality, hyper-materialism and resistance to change. That being said, look to the house in your chart with Taurus on the cusp. This is the area of your life where the energy is most prevalent. Of course, the other fixed signs (♌♒♏) and earth signs (♍♑) will be the most affected.

Soft Aspects

The waning sextile to Saturn suggests we’ve recently experienced some ease. Specifically, we’re getting a collective boost in our efforts to spiritualize matter (apply our spiritual beliefs in tangible ways to our 3D lives). Now, we can set grounded intentions that sustain us materially and spiritually. Meanwhile, a semi-sextile to Chiron and Mercury at 21 Aries suggest that any misalignment between self-definition and values will hinder our forward movement. Watch out for the sense that you’re being thwarted in your goals just because you’re you. That’s a sign that your self-belief is unstable.

Additionally, Saturn’s influence has us making new committments to our values. Due to Lilith’s envolvement, this is especially true where it concerns values and traits that mainstream society is prone to reject. Intuition is increased with this aspect, but practicality is priority. So, it’s important that we are attentive to subtle hints in our bodies and environments and that we respond pragmatically to the information we get when the moon 🌕 is exalted in Taurus. Additionally, the aspect to lilith encourages care for the part of you that is ignored, rejected, hidden, or surpressed. Take care of the parts of you others don’t find attractive, are threatened by, etc.

Notably, Neptune is now at the anaretic degree of Pisces! This is the last degree of the entire zodiac wheel. As such, we are likely about to witness some transcendence collectively. The ethereal planet began this journey around the wheel all the way back in 1862 when it entered Aries. Meanwhile, As the new moon occurs, Mercury will be slowing down in preparation to station direct on April 25th. Because the messenger planet is staying essentially in the same spot, it has a much more potent effect on any planet it touches. It’s close conjunction to Chiron suggests re-activation of a pain point. Think back to March 19-21, when Aries Season🔗 began and Mercury first touched this point. We were looking in every nook and cranny for information that might lead us toward a more clear identity and actions that would support the effort.

Closing notes & guidance

Ultimately, the Taurus new moon 2024 brings our focus to security, but it is the type of security that supports our autonomy, creative urges, and efforts to assert ourselves within personal relationships. However, it is important that all these things be aligned with our true values. So, if you haven’t already, start considering what matters most and why. That’s one of the best things you can do before setting intentions. It’ll ensure that what manifests builds on both our internal and external foundations.
