Fully in Taurus season, the cosmic pace slows down calling us to establish what we set in motion during the last New Moon phase in needed preparation for the upcoming eclipse season. As this month winds down be ready for the first eclipse of 2022, the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Taurus on April 30th. A cosmic awakening of inner shifts and outer changes begin to unfold, activating what we need for continued happiness and re-aligning our vision of security and resources, personally and collectively.
Taurus, an earth sign, seeks serenity through stable relationships and the basic resources of life. As we navigate changes during this Moon it’s important to find inner calm and grounding. Connecting to nature and paying attention to your body’s needs can be very helpful. Sleep when tired and eat when hungry. Stretch your muscles and remember to breathe, slow and deep.
Increasing the volatile energy of this eclipse is Uranus in Taurus, the planet of individuality sitting close to the Moon. Called the “Great Awakener” Uranus activates change, clearing the way for greater authenticity within ourselves or life circumstances.
The planetary backdrop during this eclipse offers an abundance of sweet, optimistic and visionary energies radiating from the triple conjunction of Jupiter, Venus, and Neptune in Pisces.
Venus, the ruler of Taurus conjuncts Jupiter exactly, increasing opportunities for loving connections and personal growth. Neptune in Pisces heightens psychic sensitivity and spiritual expansion. Mars in Pisces supports and energizes this New Moon; the mystical warrior that stimulates intuition, creativity and compassionate action.
Additionally, Pluto in Capricorn stations direct on April 29th, adding deep self-scrutiny to this lunar phase. Issues of personal power, integrity and discipline in creating more meaningful purpose, and our “great work” can underscore this Moon and any changes that unfold over the next six months.
Lastly, a compelling square between Saturn in Aquarius and the North Node in Taurus with a serious message, that effort and commitment to authentic innovation is necessary for evolving growth and future stability.
This New Moon eclipse signals a new chapter in our lives giving us an extra strong push to open up to new levels of consciousness. Although not always easy, these necessary transitions are portals for each of us to step into and claim a more evolved version of ourselves.
In Taurus, a sign that often resists change and can become stuck; the question is: are we here to remain consistent with what is known and feels safe, or are we here to grow?
During this eclipse look at the ways we underestimate ourselves and instead lean into change and embrace desires, big dreams and a sense of destiny that accelerates evolutionary growth. Remain open to possible shifts or adjustments in relationships as well as methods of increasing skills and income that also deepen self-worth. In doing so we are able to create a new level of stability, a new way of thriving, loving and living that feeds our heart and soul in a changing world.
