New Moon in Taurus – April 28th (AEST)

New Moon in Taurus – April 28th (AEST)

New Moon in Taurus- The Earth Listens – So Plant Your Dreams

The New Moon in Taurus arrives on April 28th under a sky humming with fertile, grounded energy. Taurus, the first Earth sign of the zodiac, invites us to root down, slow down, and align ourselves with tangible, steady growth.

While new moons always symbolize fresh starts, the Taurus New Moon offers a very particular kind of rebirth: one that is sensual, patient, deliberate, and abundant. It is a time to plant seeds — both physical and spiritual — and trust in their slow but certain unfolding.

This is the Moon to tend to your body, your finances, your home, and your inner sanctuary. It's about committing to the long game, trusting in nature's slow wisdom, and honouring the quiet power of perseverance.


The Energy of This New Moon- Plant with intention. Grow with patience. Harvest with trust.

Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, pleasure, and values. Under this influence, you may feel a deeper longing for stability, comfort, and security — but also for sensory pleasures like delicious meals, soft textures, music, gardens, and sweet-smelling air.

Questions to reflect on during this New Moon:

  • Where do I crave more stability and security?
  • What seeds am I ready to plant for lasting abundance?
  • How can I slow down and truly savour life’s simple pleasures?
  • What do I value most deeply — and am I living in alignment with those values?

This is also a wonderful Moon to set intentions around money, health, creativity, land, home, and self-worth.

Ritual Ideas for the Taurus New Moon

1. Plant Real Seeds
If possible, physically plant something under this New Moon — even if it’s just a pot of herbs on your windowsill. As the plant grows, so too will your intentions.

2. Prosperity Jar Spell
Create a small jar filled with herbs like basil, thyme, cinnamon, and coins or crystals (like green aventurine or citrine). Hold the jar in your hands and speak your abundance intentions aloud. Seal it with green wax if you wish, and keep it somewhere safe.

3. Sensory Grounding Practice
Take a mindful walk in nature — barefoot if you can — and use all five senses to anchor yourself in the present moment. Taurus reminds us that slow presence is the gateway to real magic.

4. Sacred Self-Worth Ritual
Light a candle and write down what you love about yourself, focusing on your values, not your achievements.
Read it aloud to yourself under the New Moon, sealing it into your heart with gratitude.

Final Thoughts
