New Moon in Taurus + Horoscopes - April 27th, 2025
The New Moon in Taurus on April 27th is a bit intense. It’s sitting at 7° Taurus, wedged between a high pressure T-square, with Mars in Leo opposing Pluto in Aquarius, and the New Moon caught right in the middle. This lunation brings up themes of control, power struggles, and self-preservation. It’s forcing us to confront what’s been bubbling under the surface around our survival instincts, money, self worth, and where we’ve grown too rigid or too reliant on comfort zones. Taurus wants peace, but Pluto and Mars want transformation and confrontation. The tension lies between wanting stability and being shoved into necessary change.
You may feel torn between letting go of something that's run its course and clinging to it out of fear. Taurus tends to hold on tightly, sometimes too tightly. Pluto in Aquarius is an all-or-nothing energy that demands we evolve and burn something down. With Mars in Leo opposite Pluto, egos are flaring, and inner pressure is rising. You might feel like you’re about to explode or implode. Either way, there’s no ignoring what’s coming up. But like most awakenings, it might sting a little before it settles.
Aries -
The Taurus New Moon lands in your 2nd house, directly triggering themes around worth, resources, and survival. Mars in the 5th wants full creative freedom, personal gratification, and unfiltered expression. Pluto in the 11th threatens that with pressure to conform, perform, or serve a collective ideal that no longer fits.
The 2nd house is not gentle. It speaks to what has been internalized about values – earned, withheld, distorted, or ignored. When under pressure, Taurus resists change through over-attachment and control. When forced to adapt, it breaks patterns that were built for survival but never allowed for thriving.
Mars in the 5th intensifies the drive for recognition, but underneath is the deeper push to reclaim autonomy. There’s a history of repressing desire to maintain stability. That repression turns into resentment when your creative will is shaped by who or what has authority over your visibility. Pluto in the 11th reveals where your long-term goals or social positioning have compromised personal truth. The desire to be seen cleanly clashes with the fear of being abandoned for it.
This lunation exposes internal contradictions around earning, proving, and being. Identity has been shaped through output. Through being useful, likable, impressive. But none of it has satisfied the deeper craving for internal safety. The T-square creates a crisis point: stay in familiar performance patterns or sever ties with the parts of your identity built for acceptance.
The social sphere may feel tense or charged. Interpersonal dynamics carry power plays and unresolved envy. There is no neutral ground here. You’re being pulled into a confrontation with how much of your creative energy has been filtered, diminished, or shaped by those around you. That scaffolding is collapsing. What remains is what’s real.
The nervous system may feel strained, especially around visibility, control, and expression. This is not a time to push outward. It’s a time to witness the internal fracture line between performance and embodiment. Value comes from what cannot be taken, sold, or needed by others. The body knows when something isn’t safe. The psyche knows when something isn’t honest. Everything else is noise.
Taurus -
The New Moon falls in your 1st house, making this one personal. Not symbolic. Not metaphorical. Personal. It hits the identity directly. It’s how you show up, what you carry, and what you're no longer willing to perform for others. There’s no buffer here. The pressure lands on you and how you move through the world.
With Mars in the 4th house, there’s heat building in your private life. Anger, resentment, or restlessness are moving underneath the surface. Old patterns, childhood dynamics, and generational roles you’ve been cast into are being reactivated. Mars brings agitation where there’s been suppression. The body holds it. The home holds it. There’s no more room to bury it.
Pluto in the 10th is piling on the intensity. You’re not just dealing with who you are; you’re dealing with the version of you that has been shaped by public image, reputation, and pressure to maintain composure. The expectation to “hold it all together” is cracking. Control is starting to slip. Authority (internal/external) feels threatened when identity shifts.
This T-square pushes for a confrontation between self-image and survival instinct. Taurus resists change, but this is not a time for comfort. This is a time to expose what’s been internalized: the belief that stability comes from silence, self-containment, or compliance. Those beliefs are breaking. The 1st house New Moon initiates a new cycle of embodiment. That can’t happen without something dying off.
There’s volatility in your inner world that is directly linked to how you’ve been performing strength. Mars in the 4th is eruptive when it’s ignored. It makes you act. But Taurus wants to freeze. To stay still. To maintain. That conflict between internal rupture and external stillness is the root tension of this lunation.
Pluto is reshaping the 10th house narrative. Success at the cost of truth. Composure at the cost of identity. Endurance at the cost of vitality. These themes are collapsing now. What you’ve built on pressure, appearances, or legacy has to be questioned now.
There is no space for illusion here. Not in the self, not in the home, and not in the public eye. If something feels wrong, it is. If something feels heavy, it’s already too late to keep carrying it the same way. This lunation is a call to live from the body– not the mask. It’s not about changing who you are. It’s about no longer negotiating it. The nervous system is tired. The performance is worn out. The inner world is demanding to be heard, and the outer world is watching to see if you’ll cave or crack open. Choose neither. Let it burn.
Gemini -
The New Moon falls in your 12th house. This is the part of the chart that doesn’t perform, doesn’t explain, doesn’t justify. It’s the part you can’t intellectualize, even if you try. And with Gemini placements, trying to make sense of everything is the reflex. But this lunation is about what’s been hiding beneath the noise and is no longer willing to stay quiet.
Mars in the 3rd amplifies mental activity. Words hit harder. Thoughts speed up. Conversations feel charged. There’s a fight brewing in the way you process and communicate, but the root of it isn’t exactly logical; it’s emotional. There’s something you’ve been trying to name that refuses to be put into language. The more you try to control it through thought, the more it slips through.
Pluto in the 9th is breaking down your worldview. Beliefs, ideologies, frameworks. None of it holds if it was built to keep you safe from your own unconscious. The internal stories that have helped you make sense of your pain are being dismantled. That dismantling might come through a crisis of faith, a breakdown in certainty, or a direct challenge to the way you’ve used logic to bypass emotional exposure.
The 12th house New Moon forces withdrawal. Not escapism. Not spiritual bypassing. Withdrawal. From distraction, from intellectual over-functioning, from the need to explain your pain in clean terms. This is the confrontation with what’s been repressed because it didn’t feel manageable.
Mars wants to talk. Pluto wants to rip apart the lens through which you’ve been making meaning. The Moon wants silence. Just enough quiet to finally hear what’s been calling from behind the scenes. Sleep may be disrupted. Communication may feel off. Thoughts may spiral without destination. This is all part of the purge.
You’re carrying too many mental loops that haven’t been metabolized. The 12th house is not chaos– it’s what happens when you stop pretending you’re fine. You’re not fine. You’re unraveling. This is not a weakness, but a transition.
The mind will want to talk its way out. The chart says you have to sit with it instead. This lunation is the kind that makes you cancel plans, mute conversations, and notice the loudest noise coming from inside your own skull. Don’t try to fix it. Don’t try to escape it. Just stop explaining it. That’s where the actual healing starts.
Cancer -
The New Moon lands in your 11th house, but there’s nothing light or social about this placement right now. The 11th house is your community, your future, and the long range vision you're supposed to be working toward. But under this lunation, that vision feels strained; pressured by survival instincts and deeper emotional material that doesn’t fit neatly into “plans”.
Mars in the 2nd tightens its grip on security. Not just money, but control. Self-preservation becomes louder. Your actions are being driven by a need to prove your worth or protect what you’ve built. But the fear underneath that drive is coming from Pluto in the 8th. Loss, abandonment, betrayal. These are psychological imprints that dictate how and when you allow yourself to trust others, rely on anyone, or share what’s truly yours.
This T-square doesn’t play fair. It’s an imbalance of energies; each fighting for control while putting pressure on the Taurus New Moon to hold it all together. There’s pressure between keeping it all together and admitting how much of your energy is shaped by fear. Fear of not having enough. Fear of being used. Fear of becoming dependent and losing power. These aren’t hypothetical. They’re wired into your body. These themes are dictating how you show up in your social roles, goals, and vision for the future.
The 11th house isn’t always just friends and networks. It’s what you expect from the world and how much you believe you’re allowed to ask for. When Pluto sits in the 8th and Mars fires through the 2nd, it’s a direct confrontation between what you own and what you fear being taken. You may find yourself withdrawing from group dynamics, feeling cynical about the future, or wondering if you’re building anything meaningful at all. This is the void space between old loyalty patterns and the version of you that refuses to be drained for connection.
What you value is changing. Who you trust is being tested. What you allow yourself to hope for is under review. And none of this is theoretical. It’s showing up through body tension, financial decisions, and emotional reactions you can’t fully explain. That’s the 8th house at work.
This lunation is about reclaiming your energy. From people. From obligations. From belief systems that keep you small under the guise of safety. What you’re here to build can’t be shaped by scarcity or fear of rejection. It has to come from self-authority. Anything less will keep costing you. Quietly. Constantly. Until you stop calling it love and start calling it what it is: depletion.
Leo -
The New Moon lands in your 10th house of the public self. This is what you’re known for, how you show up in the world, the identity you've had to perform to survive in systems that reward image more than integrity. With Mars in your 1st house, there’s a burning need to take action. But it’s defensive. It’s reactive. It’s coming from the part of you that’s tired of holding it all together while being seen as strong, confident, or composed.
Pluto in the 7th pulls the curtain back on your closest relationships. Power dynamics, emotional projection, unresolved resentment– it’s all surfacing now. What you’ve been internalizing to keep peace with others is starting to affect how you operate publicly. The pressure to maintain control, to keep your reputation intact, or to move through the world without showing your vulnerability is being confronted head on.
This T-square forms a fault line. Mars wants to move, fight, assert. Pluto wants to control, unearth, dominate. The Moon in the 10th is trying to stabilize; trying to hold its position. But this lunation exposes the fact that holding your position is no longer an option. You’re either growing out of the roles you’ve played, or you’re shrinking into them and calling it strength.
The 10th house is not just your career. It’s the legacy you leave behind. It’s the version of yourself the world sees and expects you to embody. But when it’s shaped by obligation, fear, or ego defense, it becomes a mask. And that mask is cracking. Mars in the 1st gives you the momentum to break it. Pluto in the 7th brings the cost of doing so. Relationships may shift. Others may not like the version of you that refuses to perform. That’s not your responsibility.
There is no neutrality under this lunation. You’re being pushed to take yourself seriously without falling back on performance. Move with authority, not arrogance. Leadership, not approval. If your actions are still rooted in how you want to be perceived, this New Moon will expose the gap between image and embodiment.
The body knows. The ego doesn’t. Mars is waking up something primal. Pluto is testing whether you’ll suppress it to stay connected to people who only love a version of you that isn’t real. If you can’t own your power in relationships, you’ll keep leaking it in your work, your identity, your decisions. You don’t get both unless you’re willing to stop performing for either.
Virgo -
The New Moon falls in your 9th house. Normally, this would be about vision, expansion, long range direction. But this one feels more like a collapse. The moment when the framework no longer holds. The beliefs you’ve relied on to make sense of your experiences are no longer functional. There’s a shift happening in how you process truth, and it doesn’t come through optimism or ideas. This one is holding pressure.
Mars is moving through your 12th house, which means you’re not supposed to have it figured out yet. The anger is buried. The frustration is vague. The exhaustion is real. Mars here in the deepest subconscious part of your chart tends to simmer. There’s tension in your body that has no outlet, and that tension is psychic. Everything that’s been suppressed, ignored, or rationalized is trying to surface. The more you try to work around it, the harder it pushes back.
Pluto in the 6th adds to this through the body and daily function. Old habits, compulsions, burnout patterns, and chronic stress responses are active now. The sixth house is work and health. It’s how your system adapts to survival. You’re hitting the edge of what your nervous system can take. You’ve tolerated too much for too long.
This T-square hits through overexertion, underprocessing, and overthinking. Mars in the 12th doesn’t move fast, but it builds pressure. Pluto in the 6th doesn’t make noise, but it controls everything in the background. The 9th house Moon wants vision, wants hope, wants direction. But the way forward requires loss first. The loss of illusion, of certainty, of coping structures that used to serve you but now keep you stuck.
If the body is reacting through fatigue, insomnia, irritation, or emotional numbness, it's because something unprocessed is trying to break through the surface. This is grief that’s been mislabeled. Rage that’s been spiritualized. Avoidance that’s been framed as focus. None of it is working anymore.
This New Moon is about clearing the internal debris that makes you doubt it. The need to stay functional has turned into hypervigilance. The desire to be useful has turned into martyrdom. That programming ends here– if you let it. The only thing this lunation is asking for is honesty. Not intellectualized insight. Not logic. Just truth. What hurts. What’s tired. What no longer fits. If you slow down enough to feel it, you’ll know what to let go of. If you don’t, the body will eventually do it for you.
Libra -
The New Moon falls in your 8th house. This part of your chart forces you to deal with what's been hidden, repressed, or denied. The 8th house demands surrender. And whatever you’re still trying to hold onto for safety, status, or control is now weighing you down.
Mars in the 11th brings friction into your social field. Tension with friends, groups, or community dynamics may feel sharper than usual. You may be noticing how certain connections provoke insecurity, competition, or passive power plays. Underneath it, there’s a push to break out of expectations you never agreed to in the first place. Mars likes to react. And in the 11th, it exposes where you've given too much energy away to avoid rocking the boat.
Pluto in the 5th puts pressure on your personal expression. The creative self. The sexual self. The part of you that wants to feel alive again, but has been dulled out by performance, approval seeking, or emotional exhaustion. There's a loss of joy that’s been creeping in, and now it’s demanding to be addressed.
The T-square between these three houses is about power– who holds it, who you've given it to, and how much you've sacrificed to avoid confrontation. This lunation shows you where intimacy has become entangled with emotional debt. The 8th house is shared energy, and that includes the ways you've merged with others out of fear; fear of abandonment, rejection, or not being enough on your own.
Mars charges the desire to disconnect from old social identities. Pluto intensifies the inner awareness that you've been diluting your voice to maintain relationships that are no longer aligned. The 8th house Moon breaks the spell. It forces the split between what’s real and what’s been performative.
This lunation is pushing you to acknowledge where the rot is. It’s about cutting energetic cords that are still draining you behind the scenes. Emotional attachments that are wrapped in guilt, shame, or nostalgia will surface. It’s time to clear it all away,
There may be grief. There may be anger. There may be a sense of emotional disorientation. That’s the 8th house doing its job. There is no transformation without destabilization. Let it unravel. This is a detox of the emotional enmeshment that has kept you stuck. Don’t rationalize it. Don’t dress it up. Let what’s dying die, and don’t reach back.
Scorpio -
The New Moon falls in your 7th house of relationships. It’s the psychological patterns you carry into all of them. The way you mirror, project, absorb, and control within close bonds is under the microscope. What you give, what you demand, and what you avoid are all active now.
Mars in the 10th increases urgency around your public identity and performance. The pressure to achieve, prove, or maintain control is amplified. You may feel like you're being watched, judged, or silently measured at work or by the people around you. There’s an instinct to overcompensate. To push through. But the weight of that constant assertion is catching up.
Pluto in the 4th applies pressure to the foundation. The emotional root system. This is ancestral, not just personal. Family dynamics, inherited trauma responses, unspoken roles you’ve played since childhood are all being activated. You might just realize that you are showing up for everyone else while quietly eroding from the inside out.
This T-square forces you to confront how your relationships have become a reflection of unprocessed survival strategies. The 7th house New Moon reveals how you merge, where you disappear, and where you over identify with partnership in an attempt to ground yourself. When you don’t feel safe internally, you either over-control or self-abandon. Both patterns are being exposed now.
Mars pushes visibility. Pluto threatens the structure that visibility stands on. The New Moon in the middle asks for emotional honesty in relational space. Not compliance. Not projection. Not silence. You can’t keep building public strength on private instability. Something will break.
The body might be tense. The nervous system is likely reactive. External pressure and internal fragility are colliding. You may want to pull away from everyone just to hear your own voice again.
Relationships that are based on control, performance, or unconscious caretaking won’t survive this lunation without a deep redefinition. The self you bring into connection is changing. That means your dynamics have to change with it, or they’ll fall apart under the weight of pretending.
This lunation is about whether you can stay in relationships without constantly managing perception. That’s the real shift. If you can’t show up as yourself, the cost is too high and the bill’s already due.
Sagittarius -
The New Moon falls in your 6th house, where routine, health, stress, and responsibility live. This is your productivity, the unconscious patterns that shape how you respond to pressure, how much you tolerate, and what you use to stay distracted. The 6th house doesn’t care about appearance. It cares about what’s functional, but what you’ve been doing isn’t it.
Mars is pushing through your 9th house, inflaming your beliefs, ambitions, and worldview. There's an impulse to leap into something new– another plan, another idea, another destination that promises relief. But Mars here can be reckless, especially when it’s trying to outrun the parts of your life that feel small or restricted. There’s a difference between expansion and avoidance. That difference is showing now.
Pluto in the 3rd is breaking down your mental operating system. The way you think, communicate, and interpret your environment is under pressure. Words have weight. Silence has consequences. There’s no neutral ground in your internal dialogue anymore. The narrative you live by, how you frame struggle, how you explain away dysfunction, how you process discomfort, it’s all being rewritten whether you’re ready or not.
This T-square highlights the disconnect between the life you’re chasing and the life your body is carrying. There’s a split between idealism and reality. You can’t outthink this type of exhaustion. You can’t stay functional by forcing clarity through constant movement. The 6th house asks for repair, not escape. Mars wants to go. Pluto wants to deconstruct. The Moon says stop.
There’s tension happening between your beliefs and your habits. It’s one thing to say you want healing, balance, purpose. It’s another to build a structure that actually supports it. Most of what’s falling apart now is what you’ve been holding together for the sake of normalcy. Burnout disguised as discipline. Chaos disguised as freedom. The pattern is breaking.
The nervous system may feel fried. The body is registering what the mind has been suppressing. Digestive issues, fatigue, tension, and emotional burnout are not random; they’re data. This lunation is helping you to realize your routine was built on survival patterns, not sustainability.
Pluto is not here to rearrange your thoughts. It’s here to show you which ones were never yours to begin with. The inherited beliefs. The mental defenses. The internalized pressure to do more, fix more, explain more. This New Moon is not asking you to figure it out. It’s asking you to be honest about what’s collapsing behind the scenes and why you’re still trying to keep it going.
Capricorn -
The New Moon falls in your 5th house, where creativity, desire, and self expression live. But under this sky, it’s about capacity and how much space you give yourself to want, to feel, and to take up emotional or creative space without justifying it. The 5th house is where the inner child lives. If that part of you has been silenced, neglected, or forced to grow up too soon, this lunation brings the tension to the surface.
Mars in the 8th brings suppressed material to a boil. There’s anger you’ve rationalized, needs you’ve buried, and power dynamics you’ve tolerated to maintain emotional safety. Mars is ready to erupt. Intimacy, trust, financial vulnerability, and emotional entanglements all feel charged. The instinct to withdraw or armor up will be strong, especially if you’re being forced to see how much energy you’ve spent managing other people’s expectations.
Pluto in the 2nd digs into worth at the root. Not the kind that’s visible, but the kind that decides whether you speak up, whether you let yourself enjoy anything, whether you believe you’re allowed to have more than just enough. Pluto is stripping away what you’ve built your self-worth around; survival, control, endurance– it exposes the emptiness underneath.
This T-square demands internal accountability. The way you love. The way you withhold. The way you repress instinct in the name of being composed or strategic. Mars wants truth. Pluto wants power. The Moon wants release. But nothing gets released without tension, and there’s no bypassing that tension now.
The 5th house is also about pleasure. The act of choosing joy without guilt. The act of being seen without performing. Mars in the 8th resents this because it fears exposure. Pluto in the 2nd tests it, asking if you’ll collapse back into scarcity the moment someone challenges your self trust.
You don’t need more control. You need access to your own life. To feel alive. That access has been blocked by trauma, family conditioning, relational debt, and a belief that power comes from self denial.
This lunation isn’t asking you to express more. It’s asking if you remember how. What lights you up without needing to be productive. What brings life back to the part of you that’s been in emotional lockdown. If you’ve been operating from duty for too long, this will feel foreign. That’s how you know it’s working.
Aquarius -
The New Moon falls in your 4th house. This is the root of family, home, origin, and everything buried beneath your performance of independence. The 4th house is internal. It’s the basement of the psyche. This lunation forces you inward to reflect and to confront. Whatever you’ve been avoiding emotionally is no longer dormant. It’s active.
Mars in the 7th creates interpersonal friction. Relationships feel like pressure points. You’re either on edge, defensive, or watching people push your boundaries while you pretend it doesn’t bother you. Mars here exposes the imbalance. If you’ve been avoiding conflict to keep the peace, it won’t hold. If you’ve been projecting your frustration onto others, they’re mirroring it back.
Pluto in your 1st house changes everything. Identity is under deconstruction for the next 20 years. The way you move, the way you’re seen, the way you carry yourself is all being rewired at the root. You’re being stripped down to something that isn’t performative. And if you’ve built your autonomy on detachment, Pluto is showing you the cost: disconnection.
This T-square brings pressure from inside and out. The 4th house Moon wants safety. The 7th house Mars is pushing for confrontation. Pluto in the 1st refuses to let you keep pretending everything’s fine. You’re being pushed to choose between staying emotionally numb or facing what it actually takes to rebuild yourself from the inside out.
Old family dynamics, relational wounds, and identity fractures are surfacing for release. The behaviors that kept you safe in your upbringing are now creating walls in your adult relationships. Do you realize that yet? The independence you’re known for has a shadow: self-isolation, emotional avoidance, hypercontrol tendencies of your narrative.
There is no clean storyline here. Just layers of emotional armor being peeled back. This New Moon is a threshold. If you try to hold it all together, you’ll implode. If you surrender to the dismantling, you get access to a version of yourself that isn’t shaped by other people’s expectations, family programming, or the fear of being too much.
Pisces -
The New Moon falls in your 3rd house of communication, perception, and thought patterns. It’s all under review now. Not the casual kind, but the ingrained scripts you repeat to keep yourself stable. The 3rd house holds your internal voice. What you think, how you process, and the mental loops you've depended on are no longer compatible with where you're going.
Mars in the 6th applies pressure to your routine, health, and coping mechanisms. Overwork, hypervigilance, and emotional avoidance through task completion are at a breaking point. Mars here doesn’t rest. It obsesses, micromanages, and burns out trying to fix what it can’t name. That urgency is a symptom of something deeper; anxiety masquerading as responsibility.
Pluto in the 12th drags unconscious material to the surface. Repressed fear, unresolved grief, dissociation. The things you spiritualize to survive. The things you intellectualize to avoid feeling. The 12th house leaks out slowly. Through sleep, through emotion, through the silence you fill with activity. Pluto is dismantling the part of your psyche that’s been holding everything behind closed doors.
This T-square fractures the boundary between mental structure and emotional collapse. Mars keeps your body in motion. Pluto keeps your past circling beneath the surface. The Moon in the 3rd tries to translate it into something useful, but there’s too much distortion in the signal. The old language no longer applies. What you used to explain away pain now sounds like denial.
You’re losing the illusions that held your clarity together. Thought doesn’t fix trauma. Routines don’t make up for unprocessed rage. Burnout isn't a virtue. None of the systems you’ve built to stay “functional” are sustainable if they’re built on suppression.
The nervous system is shot. Sleep is irregular. Conversations feel off. You’re likely missing pieces of things or overthinking details that don’t matter. But the structure is unraveling because it’s supposed to. It’s exposing the cracks.
This lunation is the kind where you can finally hear what your body’s been screaming beneath the mental noise. If you feel disconnected from your voice, your path, or your sense of direction, it’s because your system is clearing space. Don’t fill it with distraction. Let the silence do its job.
