New Moon in Taurus 2020
This new moon will occur at 3 degrees of Taurus, the moon’s exaltation degree, on 4/22/2020 at 10:26 p.m. E.T.
This new moon in Taurus invites us to set intentions to cultivate necessary sustaining resources in radically new and flexible ways. Make it your goal to change the area of your life indicated by Taurus’ placement in your chart in a way that liberates, innovates and renders you more authentic. Your goals will likely need to include some sort of compromise to accommodate the need to be responsible, to have discipline, and to do the right thing even when doing so would alienate you from the majority of your peers.
This new moon is ruled by Venus, who is currently in her pre-retrograde shadow in Gemini. Our connections and communications with others will heavily influence the intentions we set at this time for how to generate sustainable abundance in a rapidly changing world. However, take into consideration that Venus’ retrograde from May 13th to June 24th will have us revisiting and reevaluating these connections. This further underlines the need to incorporate flexibility into the goals we set at this time.
