Building in the Midst of Upheaval

April 27, 2025 — On Sunday, a stabilizing Taurus New Moon forms amidst great volatility. An opposition between Mars in Leo and Pluto in Aquarius boils in the background, stirring urgency, power clashes, and destabilizing forces. These aspects peak just after the New Moon, and already pressure is mounting. We may feel caught between the desire to ground and the impulse to leap, fight, or erupt. Still, this lunation offers a calm center within the storm—a moment to find clarity as we gain momentum and begin to make meaningful moves. Even as systems fray and timelines bend, this New Moon calls us back to what is steady, sensual, and enduring. Within this breakdown, the power lies in how—and where—we choose to rebuild.
Venus, ruler of Taurus, is now conjunct Saturn in Pisces, adding gravity to questions of love, loyalty, and long-term security. This is not a dreamy, romantic Venus, but one that asks for emotional maturity and sober appraisal. What is worthy of our devotion? Where do we need structure, boundaries, or release? Whether in our relationships or financial lives, we are discovering what is truly sustainable—while shedding what no longer aligns with our deepest values and priorities.
This lunation invites us to slow down and nourish ourselves. Taurus teaches that meaningful transformation and lasting change require time, patience, and grounding. It reminds us that embodiment—through rest, pleasure, or simple presence—can be a radical act in a world marked by crisis and turmoil.
Though the outer world is still rattled by breakdowns and shakeups that have marked the past two months, this New Moon helps us clarify our direction. We can choose to move forward with resilience, not reactivity or fear. The planets are calling us to build something real in uncertain soil—projects, relationships, resistance, or art. And we can trust that if it’s aligned with our hearts, integrity, and purpose, it will take root—and last.
Taurus New moon ASPIRATION
On this Taurus New Moon, may we anchor into what is real, nourishing, and sustainable. May we rally our strength, resilience, and support to build projects and relationships that serve our highest good—offering them for the benefit of all, in the vision of compassionate revolution.
