“Rebel against the ignorance of the old self and learned paradigms that inhibit the splendor of your self-expression…. Don’t fear the unknown nature of mystery; the cosmic womb, in its darkness, births all hidden potentials into existence. Trust and step in, you are being guided.” - Adriana Ayales

Leading up to Sunday’s New Moon, we’re in the midst of one of the most dynamic, volatile weeks of the year. Today the Sun in Taurus forms a tense square to Pluto in Aquarius. At the same time, Mars is approaching its third and final opposition to Pluto, peaking on Saturday, and forming a challenging t-square with the Sun.

This powerful activation of the fixed signs reveals where you may be stuck in habitual patterns, where you’ve become overly attached to what seems safe and secure, but is actually blocking your aliveness, fulfillment and creative expression.

Pluto, the Dark Goddess, the force of evolution, is living large right now, pushing you to expand beyond your comfort zone, to rebel against entrenched thought forms and the limitations of the past so you can forge a new future.

Mars-Pluto triggers a breakthrough and catharsis, a recognition and release of what’s been hidden in the shadows and is now demanding expression. As strong feelings get triggered, find positive, creative outlets for MOVING these energies - physical exercise, taking action on something you’ve been procrastinating, making art…

The Taurus New Moon is a point of re-grounding, re-stabilizing, a return to serenity after the storm. Having moved through stagnation and blockages, having released what you were holding onto out of fear, what do you want to build now? After the intensity of Eclipse Season, the reviewing and rewiring and rearranging of multiple retrogrades, what do you now know about what you love and value, about what’s truly worth investing your time and energy into?

With all the planets moving forward, 2025 is finally getting going - momentum is building! And this new lunar cycle is an extra-powerful time to gain traction. Not only is the New Moon in the sign of her exaltation, and backed by Venus - ruler of Taurus - in the sign of her exaltation (Pisces). This lunation is also the closest (most powerful) Super New Moon of 2025.

For more insight into what this new moon means for YOU, find the house in your birth chart that contains 7° Taurus.

The areas of life signified by that house are where there’s powerful energy for a rebirth, and where you’re invited to:

receive and embody a new level of worthiness, havingness and self-love;
identify your bottom-line values and priorities - what’s worth investing in for the long term;
take steps toward building a greater sense of security, nourishment and fulfillment;
let go of what you no longer need but are holding onto out of fear;
open to creative flow, and relaxed and pleasurable productivity.
