This weekend's Taurus new moon lands in the middle of an intense and transformative moment. Not just a quiet reset, but a full-body, full-soul reckoning. That's because it’s part of a rare 'fixed grand cross' involving Mars in Leo, Pluto in Aquarius, and Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio.
Fixed signs don’t like to budge. They hold. They resist. So when they’re in tension like this, the energy builds and builds until something simply HAS to shift. It can be a little uncomfortable, yes, but it's also deeply catalytic.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, and while this new moon is technically rooted in the sensual, stable, tangible world of earth, Venus herself is still floating in the mystical waters of Pisces, huddled with Saturn, Mercury, and the North Node. So there’s a beautiful contradiction here. This isn’t just Taurus doing its usual thing by building, securing, and simplifying, it’s Taurus being moved by something less visible.
With Black Moon Lilith, the untamed, dark feminine archetype, in the depths of Scorpio, you can prepare to feel the stir of deep emotional undercurrents. Underneath that earthy calm of the Taurus sun and moon, there’s a low emotional growl. Don’t panic! This dramatic configuration is here to help you. Just be sure to stay grounded in love and connected with your senses during this intense time of transformation.
