The Sun and Moon meet in late Taurus today—a New Moon at 28 degrees, the final degree before Gemini arrives. This is soil-turning time, the moment when you plant something and then wait in the dark for what comes next. Mercury sits right there too, at 29 degrees Taurus, speaking in the language of earth and root systems. Everything in you that wants to slow down, to feel the ground beneath your feet, to know the difference between what lasts and what doesn't—that voice is loud today. There is an urgency to stillness, a clarity that comes only when you stop moving.
Meanwhile Venus has already crossed into Gemini, restless and curious, asking you what you want to explore, who you want to talk to, what questions have been sitting in your throat. Mars and Saturn occupy Aries, both stern and insistent—they won't let you hide or pretend. Jupiter expands quietly in Cancer, reminding you that beneath all this there is something tender that needs protection. You are caught between the impulse to plant roots and the impulse to scatter. Today is the hinge between these two desires.

grounded, patient, testing
Mars and Saturn both occupy your sign, which means you are being tested on your own terms right now. You feel the weight of commitment—whether that is to a goal, a relationship, or yourself.

♉ Taurus
April 20 – May 20
beginning, identity, planting
This New Moon is happening in your sign—at the very last degree before you move into new territory. The Sun, Moon, and Mercury all cluster here, asking you to know what you actually want before you move forward. This is not a time to follow other people's maps. You are being invited to get clear on your own values, your own path, what belongs to you and what doesn't. The next lunar cycle begins now, and it belongs to you.
Cosmic Homework: Write down three things you want to begin or become in the next six months, without editing or explaining them.
♊ Gemini
May 21 – June 20
quiet, hidden, rest
Venus has just arrived in your sign, but the New Moon in Taurus sits in your twelfth house—the realm of what is not yet visible, what is still gestating. This is not a moment for big declarations or public moves. Mercury in Taurus asks you to listen more than you speak, to observe what is happening beneath the surface. There is something being prepared for you, something that needs darkness and silence to grow. What can you stop talking about and simply let unfold?
Cosmic Homework: Spend at least fifteen minutes today in complete silence, without your phone, and notice what thoughts arise.
♋ Cancer
June 21 – July 22
community, belonging, hope
Jupiter is in your sign, expanding your sense of what is possible, and the New Moon in Taurus shines a light on your friendships, your community, the people who actually see you. Mercury's slow, deliberate energy in Taurus asks you to think carefully about who you let into your circle. Venus in Gemini wants you to lighten up, to play, but Saturn and Mars in Aries remind you that some people deserve more caution than others. Who strengthens you? Who drains you? This New Moon invites that clarity.
Cosmic Homework: Reach out to one person you trust and tell them something true about how you have been feeling.
♌ Leo
July 23 – August 22
visibility, purpose, work
The New Moon in Taurus activates your tenth house—the part of your chart that governs career, reputation, what you are known for. Mercury here speaks with authority, even quietly. You are being asked to know your own worth in the world, to stop diminishing yourself. Venus in Gemini wants you to communicate that worth, to talk about what you have built. But Mars and Saturn in Aries remind you that not everyone deserves your time or your gifts. Choose your audience carefully. What do you want to be known for?
Cosmic Homework: Update your resume or professional bio to reflect something true about yourself that you have never said out loud before.
♍ Virgo
August 23 – September 22
learning, expansion, adventure
The New Moon illuminates your ninth house of learning, travel, and belief. Mercury in Taurus—your ruling planet in steady earth—asks you what you actually believe, not what you think you should believe. Venus in Gemini wants you curious, asking questions, exploring different perspectives. This is fertile ground for learning something that changes how you see the world. But Saturn and Mars in Aries remind you to test things before you commit to them. What are you ready to understand differently?
Cosmic Homework: Sign up for one class, book one trip, or commit to reading one book about something you know nothing about.
♎ Libra
September 23 – October 22
transformation, depth, shared resources
The New Moon in Taurus touches your eighth house—the domain of what is shared between people, money, legacy, the kind of intimacy that requires vulnerability. Mercury here asks you to speak truth about what you need. Venus in Gemini wants lightness and variety, but this New Moon is asking you to go deeper with someone, to know the difference between surface connection and real trust. What have you been afraid to ask for? Saturn and Mars suggest that some requests need courage, and you have it.
Cosmic Homework: Have one conversation about money, time, or emotional needs with someone who actually matters to you.
♏ Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
relationship, mirrors, choice
The New Moon in Taurus sits in your seventh house of partnership and mirrors—it shows you who you are through other people's eyes. Mercury asks you to speak clearly about what you need from your relationships. Venus in Gemini wants you to keep things light and playful, but Saturn and Mars in Aries warn that you cannot charm your way out of difficult conversations. This New Moon invites you to know yourself more clearly by looking at who you choose to stand beside. Are these people reflecting who you want to become?
Cosmic Homework: Tell someone in your life one thing you need from them that you have been reluctant to name.
♐ Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
work, daily practice, health
The New Moon illuminates your sixth house of work, routine, and the body. Mercury in Taurus asks you to slow down, to pay attention to what actually nourishes you versus what just keeps you busy. Venus in Gemini wants you to enjoy the small rituals—a good meal, a conversation, a walk—but this New Moon reminds you that enjoyment without discipline becomes scattered. Saturn and Mars in Aries push you to commit to something physical, something real. What daily practice would change how you feel?
Cosmic Homework: Start one new habit today that your body has been asking for—stretching, walking, cooking, sleeping at a regular time.
♑ Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
creativity, play, expression
The New Moon in Taurus touches your fifth house—the realm of what brings you joy, what you create, how you love and play. Mercury here asks you to bring intention to your pleasure. What do you actually enjoy, separate from what you think you should enjoy? Venus in Gemini wants you to express yourself, to flirt, to explore. But this New Moon is solid, grounded—it asks you to know the difference between real joy and distraction. Saturn and Mars suggest that some of your best creative work comes from discipline, from staying with something difficult. What wants to be made through you?
Cosmic Homework: Create something today—write, draw, sing, dance—without thinking about whether it is good.
♒ Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
home, foundation, nourishment
The New Moon in Taurus illuminates your fourth house of home, family, and where you come from. Mercury asks you to have a real conversation with someone in your family about what you actually need. Venus in Gemini wants you to lighten things up, to find humor and ease, but Saturn and Mars in Aries remind you that some conversations require courage and boundaries. This New Moon invites you to build something solid—not just a physical home, but an emotional foundation where you can rest. What would make you feel truly safe?
Cosmic Homework: Do one thing today that makes your home feel more like the place you actually want to be.
♓ Pisces
February 19 – March 20
communication, expression, connection
The New Moon in Taurus touches your third house of communication, siblings, neighbors, the people in your immediate world. Mercury here—so close to the Sun and Moon—asks you to speak with clarity and intention. You have something to say, and this New Moon gives you the opening to say it. Venus in Gemini wants you curious and playful in conversation. But Saturn and Mars in Aries remind you that some words carry weight, some promises require commitment. Who needs to hear from you? What have you left unsaid?
Cosmic Homework: Send a message to someone you have been meaning to reach out to, and make it specific—tell them something about what they mean to you.
