New Moon in Taurus & Uranus Ingress Taurus



While I think general interpretations of astrological events are extremely important, necessary and valid, the magic of astrology comes alive when we compare these ongoing events to our own charts. General interpretations are wonderful, but we shouldn’t stop there. Astrological events interact with us in such a unique and intimate way. We can learn a great deal about our own personal life cycles by looking at the same patterns on a larger scale, using the zodiac as a mirror. Where the Taurus New Moon may leave some feeling hopeful and energized, others may feel lost and empty. Astrology can be as personal or general as we want it to be. View interpretation as looking through the lens of a camera. We can zoom in our out as much as we like.

Understanding the New Moon


New Moons are a cauldron: a fertile time, a space to plant a seed, set intentions, imagine possibility. The planets/objects/angles that interact with the New Moon, and the signs these objects inhabit, will emphasize the areas and energies in which we are being invited to start new beginnings - think of an empty cauldron, empty womb, blank page. 

Sabian Symbol for Taurus 25

A New Moon takes place when the Sun and Moon form an exact conjunction, both astronomically and astrologically. This month’s New Moon in Taurus, this Sun/Moon conjunction, occurs on the 24th degree of the sign. 

Sabian Symbols provide a greater energetic context for the occurrences that take place on a particular degree. The Sabian Symbol for this month’s Taurus New Moon is “A vast public park”. Sabian symbols give us greater energetic context for the occurrences that take place on a particular degree. 

Dane Rudhyar describes the symbol for the Sabian Symbol of 24° Taurus as the cultivation of natural energies for collective use and recreation, a feeling of belonging and the energy of collective enjoyment. Utilize this image, symbolism & energy for your intentions, meditations, and studies today.

Making Chart Comparisons

If you have personal planets/angles/objects around...

24° Taurus :: these objects will form a CONJUNCTION with the New Moon (Intense MERGING of two life energies)

24° Scorpio :: these objects will form an OPPOSITION with the New Moon (Caught in the middle between different tendencies)

24° Leo/Aquarius :: these objects will create a SQUARE with the New Moon (Effort to integrate divergent energies)


24° Virgo/Capricorn :: these objects will create a TRINE with the New Moon. (natural integration, harmonious flow)

24° Pisces/Cancer :: these objects will form a SEXTILE with the New Moon. (Openness to NEW people, ideas, attitudes, experiences)

Uranus in Taurus

Uranus is also moving into Taurus today. The giant of inventiveness, originality, freedom & rebellion, changes signs every 7 years. This means the planet speaks to generational attitudes, and it’s individual influence is felt most when connecting to an angle or personal planet within your chart.

It’s important to note, Uranus is in it’s fall when inhabiting the sign of Taurus. In astrology, a planet's essential dignity (whether a sign is domicile, exalted, fall, detriment) speaks to how well a planet operates within particular signs. How strong or weak it is, due to the sign's influence. For example, Uranus is most comfortable in Aquarius, it's domicile, because it is the sign that it rules. Uranus also finds ease operating within the sign of Scorpio, it’s exaltation. Uranus tends to loose it’s strength and veracity when inhabiting the sign of Taurus, it's fall (a sign that opposes Scorpio, where it is exalted). The slow-to-change energy of Taurus, tends to suppress the unexpected change-happy, lightening-like operating power of Uranus. Uranus looses strength here.

Over the coming years, my natal Virgo Sun and Ascendant will certainly feel it’s vibe through long lasting Trines. However, at some point my Leo ruled Mercury, Venus and Mars will form a lasting square with Uranus. This means I will be encouraged to embrace my eccentricities, my uniqueness, while struggling to find the right way to reason with, manifest, and express these urges. 

Use the chart comparison guide above to further research how Uranus's movement through Taurus will effect you personally.
