NEW MOON - APRIL 27, 2025

The New Moon is on Sunday April 27, at 2:30 pm CDT in 7° Taurus. The strength of a Taurus new moon gives us the ability to get really down to earth, really practical in our projects and ideas. In the northern hemisphere we are experiencing spring and can easily commune with nature. Even looking out my window as I'm writing, I'm hearing a multitude of birds chirping and seeing the mist of new green leaves appearing in the distance. Fresh air from an open window is a joy. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty. Tuning into nature's beauty is a known stress reliever.

The main aspect in the new moon chart is a T-Square with the Sun and Moon at 7° Taurus and Mars squaring that point from 4° Leo and Pluto squaring from 3° Aquarius.

Goswami Kriyananda described the Sun as an external amplifier and the Moon as an internal amplifier. So, a new moon or full moon are always intensifying events happening in your outer world and heightening your emotions.
If Mars (activation, motivation, anger) and Pluto (transformation, rebellion, revolution) are in a challenging aspect to the Sun and Moon, they can test your resolve to be calm and peaceful. On the other hand, if you find yourself motivated to take your old papers to the neighborhood shredding event, you are using this aspect's energy in a positive way. Recycling is a Pluto word, symbolizing the 'circle of life.' What other things could we do to honor Pluto's transformative nature?

I like to clean out a drawer or closet during Pluto aspects. Pluto in mythology is the god of the underworld. Closets, drawers, basements - these are our symbolic underworlds. Like our subconscious, things may get stored away because we don't want to deal with them. Here's my affirmation:

I am cleaning up and clearing out making space in my life for all the good coming to me now.

One more note of caution: When we start feeling like we know best how the world should be run or what other people should do, that’s a Mars in Leo opposed Pluto in Aquarius thought. We are more easily magnetized to those type of thoughts at this new moon. When we become aware of those thoughts, that’s our clue to pull inward and reflect on the work we still have left to do on our own selves.

Coming up:

Pluto goes retrograde on May 4 at 3° Aquarius. Pluto is a powerful motivator. If you have clear goals, Pluto will give you a push toward achievement. If you are stuck, Pluto will provide strong reasons to make that change now.
