Taurus New Moon Solar Eclipse
April 30, 2022
The New Moon Partial Solar Eclipse in the earth sign of Taurus occurs today at 1:27pm PDT/4:27pm EDT. It is a rare Eclipse as it hosts a Piscean trifecta of aligned planets: Jupiter, Neptune and Venus.
The Sun and Moon are conjunct (same sign and degree) in Taurus at 10 degrees, while Uranus is close by at 14 degrees. Uranus is called the Great Awakener and The Bringer of Swift and Sudden Change. As New Moon Eclipses have the power of several New Moons rolled into one, the change that is brought about has the potential to be life-altering.
Uranus is asking us to break with our past, with conditions and circumstances that no longer serve us. As Uranus also rules revolution, your life and thinking could undergo a much-needed revolution. Uranus doesn’t ask… he TELLS. The more stringently you resist a change that Uranus asks of you, the harder it will be. Let go… ascertain what is occurring, embrace the change in order to release what needs to leave. Allow a REBIRTH.
With the Sun, Moon and Uranus in Taurus, our values, routine, money, security and how we connect with nature and the Earth can be brought into focus. Maybe we have neglected our time in nature and forgotten how to disconnect and RELAX. As New Moons are wonderful times to implement new routines, perhaps resetting yours, dialing it down to enjoy the Earth and its offerings is in order.
With Jupiter, Neptune and Venus in Pisces the air at this Eclipse will be filled with MAGIC. As Venus moves so quickly in the sky, it is rare that this New Moon Solar Eclipse is occurring just as she conjuncts with Jupiter at 27 degrees of Pisces. This is a money aspect, as well as luck in love. But, as Neptune is also in the mix, bring all contracts before the eyes of a lawyer for we are too in the “shadow” period before Mercury goes retrograde.
For fantasy, creative writing, music, the arts, intuition this aspect is sublime. Unplug your imagination and let it SOAR.
As Neptune also rules fears, self-undoing and addictions, if you feel engulfed by worry or apprehension, use the grounding of the Sun and Moon in Taurus to bring yourself back down to reality. Live your dreams, not your fears.
As Jupiter is the ancient ruler of Pisces, and Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, compassion, love, luck and intense spirituality are heightened at this time.
Pluto, newly retrograde, makes an out-of-sign trine to Mercury at 0 degrees of Gemini. Be still and look beneath. You will uncover what is hidden.
Saturn at 24 degrees of Aquarius squares the Nodes of the Moon, asking us to think very seriously about our life’s purpose. He is strong, he wants us to be certain we are heading the right direction, while leaving in the past (South Node) what no longer serves, bringing with us only that which serves us for our future (North Node).
Mars, also in Pisces, at 11 degrees is throwing his energetic vibes at the Sun, Moon and Uranus from a harmonious sextile. Work, just a bit, and you will release his energy in your favor.
There is a charge in the air from the Eclipse and Uranus; there is also magic from Jupiter, Venus and Neptune – grab a piece of that magic and see where it takes you.
Be well, love well, Jordan
