Slow Down and Reconnect: Taurus New Moon Intentions for Abundance, Beauty and Inner Peace

After a stormy week of intense astrology, with major players Pluto, Mars, the North Node and Saturn clashing overhead, the New Moon in sensual earth sign Taurus on 27th April at 20:31 GMT invites us to slow down and do the things that make us feel good, especially If you’ve felt tired, overwhelmed or emotionally charged over the last few days. 

All the planets have signs where they feel at home and others where they’re not so comfy, and luckily for us the Moon ADORES being in feminine Taurus, ruled by Venus, goddess of love, beauty, art, harmony, abundance and the finer things in life.  

The Moon and Venus both represents the feminine principle so let today be the day that you nurture yourself by doing the things you love, things that nourish and sustain you…

Wear something that makes you feel fabulous, even if it’s just your favourite lipstick or a t-shirt that brings out the colour of your eyes…

Spend time in nature, walk barefoot if you can….pause to bask in the glorious fertility of the season…

Prepare and enjoy your favourite meal with loved ones and share what’s blossoming in your life right now…

B uy yourself a new plant, or a beautiful bunch of flowers and create a small altar or sacred space at home with candles, crystals and meaningful objects to remind you of the richness already present in your life…

Plant seeds - literally or symbolically - to represent the dreams and intentions you wish to cultivate, especially around finances, security, or self-worth as Taurus rules money and material abundance. This is the first New Moon since February (before eclipse season) that we can use to make wishes, so use it wisely!

Be patient though, wait until you spot the first sliver 🌙 of the waxing crescent Moon (likely Monday or Tuesday evening) before speaking your wishes aloud.

If you know which area of your chart is ruled by Taurus focus your intentions there too!
