New Moon in Taurus, April 27, 2006, at 3:44 PM EDT at 7° 24.

The New Moon is a time of rebirth—a time when we are given a chance to start fresh. The New Moon in the sensual and contented sign of Taurus will occur on March 29th, at 3:44 PM EDT.

What does this mean for you? The New Moon in Taurus presents an excellent time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Bull:

• enjoy life's simple and physical pleasures—savor good food, enjoy activities that bring us in touch with nature and our bodies;
• take the time to cultivate patience and to "stop and smell the roses" (which could easily be a Taurus motto);
• re-evaluate our relationship with money and possessions and discover what it is that truly makes us happy and fulfilled;
• dream up new ways of increasing our income or earning power;
• concentrate on beautifying and pampering our homes, gardens, and...ourselves;
• become more aware of our personal needs and wants, as well as our values.

This month's New Moon is sextile Mars and square Saturn. Although we are bound to face some roadblocks, we have energy and willpower on our side. It's time to make some solid yet realistic plans, and to set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks' time after the Full Moon occurs.

One of Taurus "lessons" revolves around comfort and contentedness. We might look around us to see where we have been complicating our lives by our love-hate attraction to predicament and conflict. When was the last time we felt truly content and comfortable? Considering our personal needs and wants is not over-indulgent or selfish unless we take it too far. As well, knowing what it is that makes us feel comfortable and pleased improves our intimate relationships.

The New Moon occurs at 7 degrees and 24 minutes of Taurus (7°24'). Where is that position in your own natal chart? Look to the affairs of that house for a more personalized meaning of the New Moon. Read more about the New Moon in the houses.

• re-evaluate our relationship with money and possessions and discover what it is that truly makes us happy and fulfilled;
• dream up new ways of increasing our income or earning power, but don't set these plans into action quite yet;
• concentrate on beautifying and pampering your home, garden, and...yourself;
• become more aware of our personal needs and wants, as well as our values.

Because this month's New Moon forms a tight square with Neptune, the sensual side of Taurus, rather than the practical side, will be emphasized. Although Taurus New Moons generally present a period of time when new income plans and budgets might be undertaken, the illusive energy of Neptune can easily place a fog over practical matters. In other words, we might over-spend on things we will later regret purchasing. It's not a good time to buy something new, and buckling down is definitely in order in this department. We can most certainly dream up new ways to increase our income, but we should hold off on major decision-making for the time being. On the other hand, this is an excellent time to take a break and to ease into "slow-motion living" for awhile. Enjoy simple pleasures—especially those that help us tune into the physical and natural world. Neptune acts to dissolve and break down the ego and materialism—the very things that Taurus seeks to build. It's a good time to reflect upon our attachment to the material world, and to derive spiritual refreshment from the world of the senses. What truly makes us feel good about ourselves?
