  • Taurus has lots of patience, indicating this could be a good time to deal with people/projects/situations that take up more time than is liked. 
  • Things that give us pleasure, such as comfort foods, wine, relaxing, etc,  are all things we may enjoy right now
  • Some of us may be feeling more frugal than usual, preferring to save our funds instead of spend them. 
  • Take your time when the moon is in this sign, there is no need to hurry, and you probably won’t get very far if you do… so sit back and enjoy the ride… :) 
  • Keep your temper in check if you can, Taurus is very patient and it takes a lot to get her going, but watch out once she has had enough, she will certainly let you know.. 
  • This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. Those with strong Scorpio placements in their charts will also be effected. 
    • Moon in Taurus,
    • Sun in Taurus,
    • Venus in Taurus
    • Moon in the 2nd house
    • Any aspects to the Moon, Venus.
    • Ascendant or Mid-heaven in Taurus

NOTES:

Sunday, April 27 @3:31pm (ET) @12:31pm (PT).

New Moon in Taurus: All of the Taurean traits will be “bigger”. A New Moon is an excellent time to start new projects and to invest time into learning new skills… Think of a New Moon as a clean slate, on which you can write all your wishes from the coming month… :) If you want to do a ritual, make a little fire, or have a candle burning, write down your dreams on a piece of paper… put paper to fire speaking your dreams out loud, (or not depending on circumstances)…  the smoke will do the rest…

Caution is advised, only adults should do this, in a fire safe place, in a fire safe container, with water or a lid nearby… 

 



The Moon and Astrology

&

HOW IT AFFECTS OUR DAILY LIVES… 

In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :) 

The Moon Void-of-Course: 

There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void of Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void of Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-of-Course moon… 

  • Cancer
  • Taurus
  • Sagittarius
  • Pisces…

There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods.

The moon is Taurus may have us thinking about our possessions and finances… Taurus needs security in these area’s, so if things aren’t quite right with your finances now is the time to sort them out and get yourself on track… This new moon may also prove positive for house hunting and furniture shopping… art items of value and antiques may also catch the eye … Be cautious of the possession mind set, we may own material items but we never own people…. :) This months new moon can be used to our advantage, helping us to feel secure and safe on a material and financial level. 

When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or something, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course… (**Note the moon is not void off course when the moon becomes New for April 2014, but she will be the next day, April 30 2014 at approximately 11: 53 am.**)

A solar eclipse can have an influence on us making material things and with the plans we make.  Issues and or situations that happen or are initiated during an eclipse last longer than usual, the affects can be negative or positive. When  plans have to be made and ideas need to be put into motion or people we just can’t get away from or do without yet life just doesn’t seem to moving along as smoothly as one would like, being and implementing patience is strongly advices. When the new moon is in Taurus, patience should be easier to assume, however, so can a stubborn manner, be sure not to confuse the two. 

Those most influenced by this month’s New Moon are those who have the following: 

Moon in Taurus: Venus in Taurus: Sun in Taurus: Any Planets in the 2nd house. For those who have oppositions or square aspects to the moon, these may prove to be challenging times. For those who have trines or sextiles, these may prove to be opportune times.
