Seeds of adversity - New super moon at 7 degrees 46 mins Taurus, on April 27th at 20:31 GMT

Earth I Fixed I Feminine

This Sunday, April 27th, the new super moon in Taurus graces us with its steady and nurturing energy. Taurus, ruled by Venus, encourages us to slow down, savour life's simple pleasures, and reconnect with what truly makes us feel secure and fulfilled.

As a fixed earth sign, the symbolism of planting seeds comes to mind. Taurus aligns with the natural world of the earth, harvest and what we build in the earth.

🌟 Taurus reminds us to stop, slow down and smell the roses, to enjoy good food, and to embrace activities that ground us in nature and our bodies.

It calls to mind how we can choose to plant or build with careful thought and planning, allowing the process to bear fruit over time in a natural sense. The patience and practically of Taurus ensures steady progress and a robust foundation. It asks us to set the stage ready for when things are ripe.

💡 Embrace the energy of setting solid, realistic plans and setting the stage for reaping rewards in the weeks to come.

With Venus as ruler, the inner vibration seeks beauty, valued experiences and sensory stimulation.

The shadow side of Taurus

Taurus is strong on the outside, yet inside self-worth and self-esteem issues are as constant tattoo. A reminder that, despite reigning in and reserving resources, they come at a cost.

The association with finances can be indicative of study cash-flow, it can just as quickly become a battle of the mind. Never feeling there is enough. The material world builds and falls and Taurus understands these natural cycles.

Stubborn fixations and limited movement can lead to stagnation. Yes, Taurus knows that crops can die and so can we, but radicalism has never been his strong suit.

Aspects to Other Planets

This humdinger of an aspect with Pluto and Mars is a new seed requiring love, courage and focus in order to grow strong, powerful and loud.

Fixed signs are known for their holding power and strong principles. Yet they can grind their gears against each other of not in harmony. Either that or simply accept that to become unbreakable, we must face some kind of adversity that strengthens our resolve.
