The April 26th New Moon (6 degrees Taurus) is self-contained, as it makes no major aspects. This perfectly describes the Taurus energy of self-sufficiency. Which means you can use it to stabilize an area of your life. 

New Moons are ideal times to start something. In Taurus, it would make sense to work on personal resources – money, self-esteem, values, your garden (spring planting). Earthy Taurus beginnings are simple, solid and real. Growth will be slow, so this should be something you’re prepared to nurture over the long haul. 

There may be a connection to the April 20th conjunction between Mercury Rx and Sun , which was also a new beginning (based on the review of previous ideas). 

There’s nothing complicated about this Moon. It’s quiet – an island in the midst of other, more tangled influences. If you’re feeling lost or helpless, this New Moon can be your place to start something you have control over. Taurus is all about you. This should be something that makes you feel good (not deprived) because you’ll be living with it for a long time. 

Ideally, what you start should gradually increase in value and enhance your security. If you’re working on self-esteem/personal values, try using a physical prompt – something you can ground yourself in. 

If you’re setting New Moon intentions, keep these key words in mind:

  • patient
  • fertile
  • tangible
  • comfortable
  • valuable
