New Moons are a time for rejuvenation and manifestation, and if you have a lack in your life, this is the time when it will be filled. Whether it’s through a new experience, person, or item, New Moons ask us to make space for beginnings and foolish behavior—mind you, we are all fools when starting something new.
On April 30, 2022 at 4:28 PM Eastern Time, we will see a New Moon and solar eclipse in Taurus. You will be fine. Let’s start there. For those of you who aren’t familiar, eclipse season occurs when New Moons and Full Moons take place in the same zodiac signs as the North and South Nodes, creating a lunar eclipse (which always coincide with Full Moons) or a solar eclipse (which always coincide with New Moons). This year, all four eclipses (two in the spring, two in the fall) will be in the strong and mysterious zodiac signs of Taurus and Scorpio—which are opposites on the zodiac.
This year’s eclipses will center around managing our emotions, anger, and fears. Taurus has a reputation for being a material gorl, which makes total sense astrologically—the sign is associated with stability, values, and earthly pleasures, making us want to lean into the items and ideas that feel comfortable.
With April’s New Moon/solar eclipse in Taurus with Mars in Pisces and a conjunction Uranus in Taurus, it’s important to mind our emotionally-driven impulses. One way to navigate eclipse season is to keep a slow pace. There’s no harm in appeasing your senses by soothing and satisfying them. Try to avoid holding onto unnecessary excess for fear that you’ll never be able to attain that treasure again. Don’t let shipwrecks from the past discourage you from believing that there will be smooth sailing in the future.
Read your horoscope for the New Moon/solar eclipse in Taurus:
ARIES
A lot of what has happened to you in the past is weighing on your mind. The inclination to move forward may feel distorted by a lack of powerlessness. Because you cannot fully control the changes that are occurring around you, it’s difficult for you to figure out how to move toward your goals. This eclipse season is for remembering your values. Be mindful of what you accept– your soul doesn’t need every gift.
TAURUS
Try not to get lost in a sea of responsibilities. This eclipse season, know that you are the expert of your own life and the knowledge you bring to the table is worth its weight in gold. Make sure to develop limitations and pause points for your friends and acquaintances. Even though you may have the best of intentions, this eclipse season is about you focusing on yourself.
GEMINI
Your intuition is especially keen during eclipse season. Your ability to sense and think your way through life will be heightened. Even if you’re completely convinced that you recognize strange behavior, manage your emotional impulses. Intuition is a powerful tool to think through your probable next steps, just remember not to jump to conclusions without evidence.
CANCER
What a great time to be a Cancer! If you’ve needed an extra boost or a pleasant surprise, this eclipse season is ushering forth something that fits your needs. There’s no ignoring the expectations you feel from your community. When you extend yourself so often to those you value, trust that they are making steps that reflect the care you give.
LEO
This year was intended for you to pursue your long-term vision, even though your home life might be a source of stress. Don’t worry, Leo. All that needs to be taken care of within your domain will be catered to. For now, focus on what you can control: how you are presenting yourself to the world! As long as you are authentic while dreaming, you’ll be happy with what comes true.
VIRGO
Your close friends and lovers act as inspirational figures that will take you on your next educational journey. The idea of venturing out and gaining new knowledge is exhausting, even if you’re a person who loves to learn! Please don’t undermine the energy you expend to learn new information. When you feel overwhelmed, keep in mind that you’re never alone. Some of your loved ones can help you make sense of your thoughts.
LIBRA
You were not born to live on an island, dear Libra. That isn’t how us living creatures were meant to be. You were created to share and be intimate with others. Life has a way of making it difficult to trust. It can feel pointless and even wasteful to have faith in others– especially regarding your day-to-day life. Keep hope alive and give a little. Sometimes asking for help once opens up the floodgates for more care than you can imagine.
SCORPIO
You’ll be so pleasantly surprised by how love has a way of manifesting. You must take the initiative to make yourself available for the partnership you desire. This New Moon is bringing forth a relationship or two that has the power to fulfill your soul. Try not to put too much hope onto any particular person, and focus on the present moment.
SAGITTARIUS
Your routine is beginning to pick up—just make sure you don’t try to catch everything that’s thrown at you. Believe it or not, some opportunities are best left to be dropped. You’re only one person, and sometimes you hurt yourself by taking on too much. You seem to be worried about your home life. Trust that this eclipse will help you figure out your next steps.
CAPRICORN
You deserve some fun, and that’s exactly what’s coming. What you ask for is what you receive, and thankfully you’re gaining a unique opportunity to enjoy meaningful romance. Mind you, romance is not limited to the connection you share with another person. Romanticizing your life, creative process, and future are all possibilities during this New Moon.
AQUARIUS
This is a time to stay at home; feel no guilt for canceling plans. This year, you’re meant to spend more time at home, or at least, you’re meant to take time to figure out how to make yourself feel at home. Whether that means recognizing your value in your family or revaluing your home is up to you. A little interior design, even if it’s for someone else, can go a long way right now.
PISCES
The ability to manage your emotional responses is one of your greatest strengths, Pisces. You might feel a strong compulsion to make your voice heard during this New Moon. Holding your tongue is familiar to you, and now you wish to make sure your values are heard. Curb your enthusiasm and be mindful of the present; your past can inspire you, so don’t let it control you.
