Conjunct Uranus, on Thursday the 23rd 04.25 am CEST there is the New Moon in Taurus (for some it will be on Wednesday the 22nd, depending on where you are on Earth). This for sure is an interesting New Moon. Uranus is the big revolutionary. The planet of upheavels and change. Taurus is a fixed earth sign. She is known for her stability. She is known to be grounded. She knows what she wants and what she likes. When the bull has made up her mind, she sticks with it.
The bull is known for stubbornness. She doesn’t want to be forced. But Uranus is here to shake things loose. Uranus is here to force the bull to revolutionize herself. Uranus is here to revolutionize those aspects in our lives that Taurus governs. (Whatever aspects those are, depends on your rising sign. And however intense or uncomfortable this process of change is for you, depends on multiple factors in your birth chart.)
The bull needs to get comfortable being pushed to change. Uranus has been hanging out in Taurus for more than a year now and will be in Taurus for six more years to come. Especially Taurus risings my dears – and in lesser extent readers with Sun, Moon or Venus in Taurus – if you haven’t already, you need to learn to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Yours truly knows what she is talking about; my ascendant is at 7 degrees of Taurus. Uranus is almost on top of it… hurray. I want to write an article on the journey of Uranus in Taurus and what it means for all rising signs; but you know, crazy to do lists, so you will have to be patient. Luckily we have six more years… But I promise, it will come. Because there is so much interesting stuff to say about this transit, and not just because it affects me personally so heavily. It’s an interesting transit for all astrology geeks and it’s for sure an interesting transit for humanity as a whole and for a lot of people personally.
Anyway, the New Moon takes place in the fixed earth sign Taurus that is ruled by the planet Venus. Being an earth sign ruled by the Goddess of love, Taurus is known to be the most sensual sign of the zodiac. Taurus likes to create beauty and pleasure. And she likes to create beauty and pleasure that lasts long. Taurus is also known to be stubborn and has insane amounts of stamina.
New Moons bring new cycles, new beginnings. The Moon cycle isn’t just the monthly cycle from New Moon to Full Moon to New Moon. The beginning of this New Moon actually comes into completion during the Taurus Full Moon later this year in fall. So even if New Moons are about beginnings, their culmination time often takes more than about 29 days and can actually take a few months. Moon cycles are cycles within cycles.
The New Moon is at 3 degrees of Taurus, pretty damn close to Uranus at 6 degrees of Taurus. This conjunction influences this New Moon big time. Uranus can’t be ignored! This New Moon asks us to step into the uncomfortable, into unknown territory. See your New Moon horoscope affirmations below, to get a sense of what area of your life is up for a little adventure.
The malefic planets will be making squares to the New Moon, Saturn by degree and Mars by sign. That is not so nice. The energy of this New Moon is one of strive and friction. So Uranus wants to bring about change. Mars pushes poor Taurus even more into action. However Saturn is there to give a big fat ice cold NO; or when it’s not a no, it will at least be a ‘only under these conditions’ or ‘but remember to be responsible about it’. The bull will be pulled back and forth… Again, look into your horoscope affirmations below to get a sense of what this means for you personally. The nice thing though is that Venus, the ruler of this New Moon, makes a trine to Mars. So the Goddess of Love might be able to temper the God of War a bit, protecting the Moon in her own sign. Thank you Venus, we are counting on you.
This is New Moon is especially interesting for people with the ascendant between 1-8 degrees in Taurus and following Scorpio. But also Leo and Aquarius. (Please look at your chart using whole sign house system; otherwise you can’t take the degrees I mention into account.) Also if your Sun, Moon or Venus falls in these degrees in Taurus or one of the other fixed signs, it’s more of a New Moon to remember for you. The horoscope affirmations are below. They each have a short introduction too. The one for Taurus is the most elaborate, as this New Moon is big for this sign.
But first, let’s take a look at the major transits ahead, between now and the Full Moon in Scorpio.
Upcoming Astrology from the New Moon in Taurus till the Full Moon in Scorpio:
April 25th 8.54 pm Pluto Retrograde
April 27th 9.53 pm Mercury enters Taurus
April 30th 02.21 pm Pallas enters Aquarius
May 5th North Node enters Gemini
May 7th 6.45 pm Full Moon in Scorpio
April 25th 8.54 pm Pluto Retrograde
Just recently Jupiter made a conjunction with Pluto. Now Pluto will turn retrograde, while he is still close to Jupiter. Jupiter will also turn retrograde soon. The two will meet up again this summer, making a conjunction while they are both retrograde.
A big part of Pluto retrograde will be marked by the rays of Jupiter. Jupiter wants us to tend to all that has been purged since the Saturn x Pluto conjunction in the start of 2020 (read Covid-19). Jupiter wants to bring healing. Jupiter & Pluto retrograde copresent in Capricorn reminds us though that we need to reflect and reconsider how we use our resources and spend our money (hi politics, don’t be stupid). The stars want us to do some thinking on capitalism. These two retrograde in Capricorn under the ruling of Saturn also point to friction and strive when it comes to growing and restraining. And in July Saturn will join the party when he is also retrograde in Capricorn. Pluto will station direct in October. Saturn will stay in Capricorn till December. Jupiter wants to bring healing. Saturn restricts and sets boundaries and rules. Pluto brings up toxic power dynamics and purges the toxicity of capitalism. From now until the end of the year I foresee us being at war with the pandemic (ok you don’t need astrology to see that, but the astrology confirms). I am also a bit fearful of August and October when Mars is retrograde in his own sign Aries and makes squares to Pluto. Things will get heated and frustrations will run high. There will be strive and passion to get things done in the world, for the good and for the bad, but batteries will run low faster than usual. Things won’t come off the ground as intended. There will be discussions maybe even serious battles, against viruses or other living beings.
Things will change a lot when Jupiter and Saturn move into Aquarius at the end of the year. Then it’s just Pluto, releasing the lasts bits of toxicity in Capricorn (read economic crisis). While Jupiter in Aquarius will finally feel empowered to bring his healing powers into the world.
Pluto in Capricorn can also bring up the toxicities in politics as much as in capitalism. Hopefully with Jupiter co present we will be able to shed some light on these toxicities. Hopefully Jupiter, who does feel weakened in Capricorn, but isn’t completely powerless, will be able to install some wisdom. We need to make changes! And there is no going back to normal. Let’s vote differently next time around. Let’s go vegan. Let’s give a true effort to a more sustainable lifestyle. Let’s truly try to share a bit more. We live in abundance, not in lack.
April 27th 9.53 pm Mercury enters Taurus
When Mercury moves from Aries in Taurus our thinking and communication becomes less impulsive and more grounded. Aries is fast and passionate. Taurus is slow and mindful. A loved one of mine has Mercury in Taurus and often it takes hooouuurs before she finishes a sentence (sorry mom…). But don’t try to rush Mercury in Taurus (or anything in Taurus). Because, you know, we are talking about the stubborn bull here. Good things take time. Taurus knows that. And honestly, my mom can produce some well written sentences on paper. Good grammar and style. (She should write a book someday. It will be stylish and good and beautiful. It will probably take her ages to write it though.)
Ok, back to Mercury in Taurus. It’s kind of the opposite of Mercury in Aries. No more rushing but more grounding. Mercury in Taurus will support us in creating long term vision, making practical decisions and turning dreamy ideas into thought out plans.
April 30th 02.21 pm Pallas enters
Aquarius
The independent asteroid Goddess Athene moves from Capricorn in Aquarius, joining Saturn and Mars. Pallas Athene is known for wisdom, her healing powers and skills in warfare. In Aquarius she thinks outside the box. In Aquarius she is the eccentric creative problem solver. In Aquarius she becomes even more the humanitarian she already is. Awesome feminine power at work where we need it right now: right under the nose of two malefics Athene will be doing first aid healing work with whatever that is available. Testosterone driven men don’t scare Pallas Athene. She is here to support us in creative thinking. She is here to support us in healing the sick and wounded. She is here to remind us that humanity is a collective and that each individual equals the collective. She is here to remind us: f*** patriarchy. She is here to remind us that glass ceilings are meant to be broken. She is here to show us that no effort put into healing or wisdom is a waste, however small it may seem it always counts. Keep tending to the wounded. Keep acting on wisdom in service of humanity and Mother Earth. You are bigger than you. You are the collective. Create the collective that you want to be part of.
May 5th North Node enters Gemini
The Nodes (North and South) are mathematical points related to the movement of the Moon (I won’t get more technical here). These points were in Cancer and Capricorn for a long time. Now they will move into Gemini and Sagittarius, with the North Node being in Gemini. The North Node tells us where we have something to learn and where some kind of healing or power is to be found. The Nodes are points of focus (not like planets which have influence and power).
With Venus also being in Gemini, we are remembered that communication should happen in a loving way. We are remembered that communication actually serves love. All in life should serve love. Communication with another objective instead of bringing love or healing into this world, is not worthy of our efforts. Words that don’t serve the higher good, shouldn’t be released from our lips and aren’t worthy of our ears.
May 7th 6.45 pm Full Moon in Scorpio
On May seventh the Full Moon takes place in Scorpio. I will get back to you then with a new article and all the info…

Aries Rising (& Sun)
Hi Aries! This New Moon is here to remember you of your worth and the worth of all that you carry with you (from your skills and knowledge to the coins in your wallet). What you value, your self-worth, your skills and possessions and maybe even your bank account and/or spending habits have been undergoing some changes in the last two years. This New Moon is the perfect moment for you to check in with yourself: What do you truly value? What are your resources? What do you want to invest in? What do you want to invest in your future? What investments bring abundance, joy and meaning in your life? And, what resources can you tap into in order create the freedom that you want, crave, need or seem to must have? With this New Moon you can set the intention to value yourself. When you see the abundance that’s already present inside you, the abundance will present itself in all of life.
Here are your affirmations:
“True wealth is to be found in all of life, every moment, every day. I am rich when I breathe fresh air, when I hear the birds sing, when I feel sunlight on my skin. I experience wealth where I am healthy. I experience wealth where I am able to receive care and healing. True wealth is found in love and in the simple pleasures of life.
I promise myself to truly value myself. My skills and knowledge are of service in this world. They are of value. They have their place. I can bring abundance, growth and beauty in this world when I honestly and courageously offer myself. When I tap into my resources and when I don’t hold back. I can turn lead into cold. I dare to revolutionize the way I use my resources.
I promise myself I will invest myself into what brings me joy. I will invest into the projects, relationships and efforts that bring about true wealth, love and liberation in my life.”
Taurus Rising (& Sun)
Dear Taurus. The New Moon takes place in your first house. Uranus has been hanging out here since spring 2019 (and also for a while in 2018). Good chance your life has been undergoing some major changes, especially if your ascendant is placed in the early degrees of Taurus (1-10 degrees). The closer Uranus is to your ascendant, the heavier the feels. When a planet like Uranus transits your first house, at first the impact is primarily on you. It’s like you are revolutionizing yourself. Your self-image, your identity, your body, your outlook on life. But that for sure impacts all other areas of life. Mostly the houses that are angular, which means: the fourth house of foundation, roots and housing, the seventh house of love and relationships and the tenth house of career.
Having Uranus in the first house is intense. For any zodiac sign. But especially for Taurus. Taurus is known for stability. Taurus is grounded. Taurus likes comfort. Uranus messes things up big time. Good chance life has been like a rollercoaster since a year or two. Good chance that you have been feeling like life is falling apart. Good chance you have been feeling like you are Alice down in the rabbit hole… If this doesn’t resonate and your life has been steady and fine in the last two years; let’s talk sometime in the future. Because it probably means your ascendant is in the later degrees of Taurus and you are in the quiet before the storm. Sh** will hit the fan, I promise you.
Change isn’t necessarily easy. But often it is needed. Being a revolutionary is incredibly hard. It takes courage. But often it is needed. Uranus in your first house is asking you to revolutionize yourself, and with that it follows that your will revolutionize your life (probably love, home and career). You are being asked to break boundaries. For some of you it will feel like you are pushed from within, making changes in life because this inner force is taking over. For some of you it will feel like life is forcing you, either by surprising maybe even pleasant but challenging opportunities or by sudden difficult maybe even painful disruptions or separations. Either way, it’s like you ended up in this wild water track. You need to survive till you get at the finish line. Which officially is in 2026. But if your ascendant is in the early degrees, good chance things will get easier before that.
With the New moon taking place in the first house conjunct Uranus, it’s the perfect time to take stock of what has been going on: be proud you have survived this far. I hope you can take a moment on this New Moon to catch your breath. To have a somewhat quiet day. To tune in. This New Moon is about YOU! Where is the rollercoaster that’s called life taking you? How do you feel about the direction you are heading in? Not everything is in your control. Sure. But some things are. This is your New Moon. Again: YOUR New Moon. This is the time to take ownership of your wants, needs, desires and dreams. For part you need to go with flow; follow where Uranus wants to bring you. But you also have the power to manifest. Manifest your wishes, desires and dreams. You might receive a no (Saturn is after all giving a square on this New Moon), but in general for this week and the weeks, months and years to come: dare to dream big and break through walls. Don’t be scared of the change. Don’t be scared of the disruptions. If you can work with Uranus instead of behaving like a stubborn bull; you can do great magic. After all, you are ruled by Venus and known for your skills in creation. There is no other sign as skilled in creating love, abundance and pleasure in life. But this time, you will need to do that by becoming the revolutionary. Don’t just think outside the box. Be outside the box. Tear down the f****** box!
Here are your affirmations:
“With this New Moon I focus on myself. Where am I again? With this New Moon I take a moment of rest and I will take stock. I will allow myself to be proud of where I am right now, regardless of the mess I’m in. Life isn’t easy. But it isn’t meant to be easy anyway. Certainly not now. I will try to see the beauty of it.
Sometimes it’s a gift when something is taken away from us. Sometimes it’s a gift when we struggle or when there is hardship somewhere. Whether it’s housing struggles, the end of a relationship or sudden unemployment or a career change. When a door closes, a window opens somewhere. I can see the blessings in my life. Paths are being cleared. Not how I intended maybe. I try to surrender. When I go with the flow of life, I will end up where I belong and it will be good. I practice faith that life is unfolding how it’s supposed to. Bringing me more abundance, growth and beauty in the process.
I am allowed to take ownership. I am allowed to not shy away from my talents, skills, love and beauty. I have something to add to this world. And I can do it my way. I will not set up a ten year plan; I will be adaptable to the changing currents of life. But I am allowed to be a stubborn revolutionary. I know my worth. I know what I have to offer. I know in what way I can make life more beautiful. Not just my life. No, all of life. I have love, beauty and connection to offer in this world.
I promise myself to be truthful. Especially truthful to myself. What are my wants, dreams, desires? What are my skills and talents? Where am I truly blessed in life? What do I need? And, what don’t I need? What is useless baggage that I can let go off? And what can’t I ignore anymore and do I need to give more appreciation?
I will applaud myself for how far I have come. I will love myself for being me. I will value myself: I’m worth a damn lot. Doubt is out the window. With this New Moon I honor myself. I honor my needs and desires. I honor my talents and capabilities. I honor my stamina and survival skills. I’m grateful for all blessings life has given me. I thank Mother Earth.
Every day is a new day. A new chance. Life is allowed to surprise me.”
Gemini Rising (& Sun)
With this New Moon you are offered a beautiful moment to tune within. Behind the scenes there has been a lot going on. Dear Gemini, there is a whole lot of change and shifting going on in the unconscious territories of your mind and in your spiritual journeys. You are offered the chance to do a lot of healing work on yourself. Actually, Uranus is forcing you more or less. If you dare to go in the dark. If you dare to tap into intuition. Then all this may push you into awakenings and spiritual liberations. It may also cause a tornado inside your unconscious mind which may make you feel like you are losing grip on life while having no idea why. It’s like fighting an internal battle against an invisible enemy. I guess we will see where you are in 2026. This is a process of years, not one of just a moon cycle. However, with this New Moon you do find yourself in the opportunity to check where you are in this process. And so, this New Moon will either be comforting or unsettling. Comforting if you have found the trust that you are on a spiritual journey healing wounds within and unlocking beautiful hidden talents. Unsettling if you feel like you are not in control of life. If you feel unsettled, take the time to tune within and try to figure out why. Talk with someone about it or maybe meditate. When you take the time to tune in, answers and clarity will follow.
Here are your affirmations:
“With this New Moon I prioritize my wellbeing and spirituality. With this New Moon I consciously take a moment to tune within. I also promise myself to make the effort to keep marking me time in my calendar and not let the outer world distract me from my inner sorrows or inner callings.
I promise I will attend to my inner wounds. They deserve the love, care and healing that only I can give to them. I set the intention to care for myself as I would care for my loved ones.
I know that when I make the time and create the space to go within, I can find liberation. Like the Buddha found liberation through meditation. Though we are not all meant to go straight into Nirvana. But I have my own spiritual journey.
I don’t yet know what liberation means to me. I don’t yet know how my spiritual path will unfold. I don’t yet know what realizations and awakenings are in store for me. But I do trust I’m on my path, the right path. I surrender to the stormy winds inside me. I surrender to the callings in the darkness that want to bring me into the light.
I know that doing this inner work will pay off. I know it will bring me results. I will strengthen my intuition by meditation. I will heal from trauma with therapy. I will acknowledge my wisdom with listening to my dreams.
I can only truly honor myself if I truly look within myself and can be comfortable with and in myself. With this New Moon I promise to be with me. With this New Moon I promise to prioritize or at least make the conscious effort to prioritize me not only now, but in the future to come. It’s a practice. And every day, every effort, counts.”
Cancer Rising (& Sun)
With this New Moon you are supported to bring wealth, love and abundance in the communities and groups of friends that are dear to you. Your joy is of no value if you can’t share it with the people who are dear to you. You gifts are of no value of you can’t use them for the greater good. You may have lost and gained friends in the last couple of years. Your community life might be changing or your role in the groups you are part of might be undergoing change. Your value isn’t though. You have a tremendous capacity to create meaningful bonds with and between people. This New Moon invites you to honor that capacity. This New Moon invites you to share your inner wealth with the world.
Here are your affirmations:
“I flourish when I connect with others. I find richness and joy in life when I am in connection. I know I have wealth, abundance and pleasure to offer to the communities I serve and am part off.
Even though I sometimes don’t receive as much as I invest. Even though I sometimes get hurt when I share my love. I know life is meant to be lived in connection. I enrich my own life and the lives of the ones I hold dear when I invest my love in the groups that I’m part of. It’s okay that sometimes I don’t receive what I invest. However, I am allowed to not give my energy and love to those who are just looking out for themselves; I’m allowed to say no and disrupt when necessary.
I promise myself to hold space for the friendships that enrich my life. I allow myself to let go of people that only take from me and don’t truly value me. I don’t need to fear being abandoned or alone. I will always have my own back; that’s I promise I am making to myself, right now!
With this New Moon I celebrate the friendships that are worthy. I honor the communities I am part of and that sustain me in some kind of way. I find wealth in relationship with myself and others.”
Leo Rising (& Sun)
Dear Leo. You are allowed to make a statement. This New Moon is about giving yourself a stage. About pouring your creativity into your projects. About showing the world the depth of your resources and passions. Take a moment to reflect on your career. Do you find pleasure in it? Do you experience or bring abundance? Can you make an impact? Long lasting sustainable changes? This New Moon is the perfect moment to make promises and intentions regarding your career. Don’t sacrifice your creativity for safety. Don’t sacrifice your talents, you will be bored. You have a courageous soul Leo. Trust in that courage, trust you have the strength, to take on any adventure.
Here are your affirmations
“I promise myself I will make use of the changes the world offers me in order to shine and make a long lasting impact on the world. I am allowed to take up space. I am allowed to step on the stage. I am here to make statements.
I have an endless deep well of creative energy to tap into. I give my all to all projects and endeavors I truly believe in. I will support undertakings that bring me joy, challenge me, ask for my talents and make a long lasting impact in the world. I am here to build something solid and sustainable, something beautiful and pleasurable.
I won’t get where I want and need to be by playing it safe. If I want to experience the highs of the rollercoaster I should risk to experience the lows too. I can turn my career into an adventure. By resisting change I will only make it harder on myself. Sometimes my life feels like a big mess. But I wouldn’t want it any other way. I know things will pass. The mess will clear itself up. I accept the messes and uncertainties. I promise myself to put my efforts into projects I truly believe in. I trust calmer times will come. For now, I will follow my callings. I set the intention to be true to myself. I will enjoy the rollercoaster with all its highs and lows. My creativity is priority.”
Virgo Rising (& Sun)
Your worldview, your spirituality, the systems of knowledge you depended on, your philosophy on life, maybe even your religious views; it’s undergoing a process of change. From doubts to groundbreaking new insights, you are experiencing it both. Some previous held beliefs don’t seem to hold as much truth as they once did. Different schools of thought offer new meanings. In the last years and or coming years you might find yourself studying new philosophies, sciences or religions you weren’t as much invested in before. This New Moon is the perfect moment to reflect on this spiritual adventure of yours. Where do you find stable ground? Where or when are you unsure about meaning in life? What have you been learning? What do you want to learn? Is something holding you back or do you dare to take leaps of faith?
Here are your affirmations:
“It’s okay that I feel unsure about certain things, about life. I am allowed to let go of previous held belief systems that don’t serve me anymore. I am allowed to delve into new life sciences and philosophies.
When I feel the calling to take on new studies, I am allowed to answer that. Even though I don’t know where it will take me. Even though I don’t know if I’m making the right choice. There is no right or wrong choice.
Now there is just adventure. Life wants to take me somewhere. I don’t yet know the destination. I surrender. I quiet my paralyzing thoughts that hold me back. For now I will be okay with the fact that certain things are a mess. If I don’t know what I’m doing here on earth right now, I do can promise myself that I will figure it out again.
I trust that in this process I can build a loving, abundant and beautiful understanding of life. I trust that I have a given place in life. I am here to serve the world and experience love while serving.
With this New Moon I set the intention to take my callings seriously. With this New Moon I promise myself to not let fear hold me back in my spiritual or academic endeavors. With this New Moon I remind myself that it is okay that certain things are a mess and that I sometimes do not know. With this New Moon I remind myself that beliefs systems are allowed to change. Spirituality is a process, not a fixed state. It can collapse. It can revolutionize. It can bloom in ways I could have never expected.”
Libra Rising (& Sun)
Dear Libra. This New Moon is about your collaborations. Which collaborations bring pleasure, beauty and abundance in your life? Which collaborations support you in tapping into your creative powers? Which collaborations bring fun and love? What resources do you have to share? What resources, pleasure and beauty do others bring into your life? With this New Moon you may start a new project, collaboration, team-effort or endeavor that has the potential to make a long lasting impact. This may be at work, in love, in your community; with whom or wherever, think about who you would want to collaborate with and what you would want to bring about with this person. Also, if you find yourself in some kind of collaboration that is draining you. If you are giving more than you are receiving. If another person takes up too much mind space, makes you feel not worthy enough, depressed or anxious; you are allowed to let this person or your ‘together thing’ go. If it is not bringing you love, if it’s not in support of your self-worth, if there is no equal give and take; it’s not for you. You deserve more.
Here are your affirmations:
“With this New Moon I honor my worth and the worth of others. I intend to share my love and gifts in the world. However, I don’t need to give endlessly. If it doesn’t feel abundant, solid and sustainable, then it’s not for me. I’m allowed to let things go.
I have beauty, creativity and love to offer in this world. Through connection with others I bring beauty in this world. We can grow through connection.
I intend to spend my energy on collaborations, projects and endeavors that can make a long lasting impact. I intend to plant seeds in fertile grounds. I intend to spend my energy there where things can actually grow. I want to see fruits of my labor. I don’t need to spend my creativity, powers and resources on desert ground.
I am allowed to say no when a situation doesn’t serve me. I promise myself to wholeheartedly say yes when a situation can bring me pleasure. I am allowed to experience joy. I can be of service without giving to much away.”
Scorpio Rising (& Sun)
This New Moon is here to support you in being honest about your love life. Once a year we get a relationship New Moon. This is one yours dear Scorpio. If you want to set intentions on you love life, this is the moment.
Uranus in Taurus wants you to revolutionize your love life. This process might come with pain and doubt. It might even come with separation. There is loss of the stability you knew and counted on. With Uranus in Taurus, from 2019-2026, you are asked to let go of the safe and sound. You are asked to explore the new and the unexpected. You are offered new changes to dive deep into the unknown territories of love. It is up to you however to grab the opportunities. The Universe won’t keep sending them your way again and again, if you keep ignoring them.
With this New Moon Venus, the Goddess of love, makes a trine to your ruler Mars. Take this blessing. Aphrodite is here to support your efforts in your relationship New Moon. If you have been thinking about asking someone on date, declaring your love, proposing for marriage, whatever; this is your moment. If you have been doubting whether you are fit for love, relentlessly punishing yourself feeling like you’re too intense for this world or like life is too intense for you: don’t! Dear Scorpio, your deep dark waters are worthy of love. Worthy of self love and the love of the other.
Here are your affirmations:
“I honor and invite love in my life. I will show up for love in my life. I will show up for truth in love. Love means honoring and loving my own soul and body. Love means honoring other souls and other bodies equally. I am no less or no more.
Whatever that needs to change in my love life because it just isn’t working… Or whatever that I want to change but have been too afraid to… I will show up for it. I am known to deny myself pleasure and love, while deeply craving it. I am known to sometimes hold on too tight while it’s time to let go. I am known to sit in pain, to endure it, sometimes too much.
Every soul is worthy of love, connection, appreciation. Every soul should be seen in naked beauty and to be honored for its/his/hers uniqueness. Every human body is worthy of pleasure, touch, love, sex and orgasms. Craving it is not a fault. I can dive into lusts deeply, sometimes I get lost. But I don’t need to deny myself lust. I am truthful with myself and my needs. I don’t need to diminish them in service of another, as long as I honor the other equally in their needs. I don’t need to deny myself pleasure or love. I don’t need to close myself off. I don’t need to be afraid.
I recognize that letting go can be an act of love. I recognize that stepping up can also be an act of love. I trust that I am being guided into new adventures that not only will revolutionize my love life but also myself. I am open to explore. I am open to step into the unknown. I am ready. Don’t hold back.”
Sagittarius Rising (& Sun)
This New Moon brings focus on your work; your place of work and the relationships in your career. There are lots of changes going on in this area of your life. For everyone, now with the pandemic. But for you also because Uranus, the planet of change, is active in this part of your life since a year or two and will stay active here till 2026. With this New Moon you may gather focus and ask yourself: how can I bring abundance, growth and healing in the world through my career and collaborations at work? But also: does my workplace, do my coworkers, projects, boss, endeavors bring abundance in my life? Where can I revolutionize my career while being of service in a generous way?
Here are your affirmations:
“I know am intended to serve in a generous way. I’m asked to be adaptable to the changes in my work life. I have the capacity to go with the flow and uncertainty, by being resourceful. I can work with what I’ve got. I don’t need much resources to bring growth and healing. But if you give me the resources I will bring abundance.
My work also needs to be of service to me. I want and am allowed to experience joy in work, in my relationships with my co-workers, in the office environment. When I do not experience this, I will trust that I will experience it in future times and I will say to myself that I am allowed to seek pleasure in work. It might come or return in future times. In the meantime, I can deal with uncertainty by being resourceful. When I need to be, when I’m forced to, I can be incredibly self-reliant.
With this New Moon I remind myself that I have something to add in this world.”
Capricorn Rising (& Sun)
Hi Capricorn. It wouldn’t surprise me if you have been uncovering new potential in yourself; having new romantic experiences and /or started new creative endeavors in the last year or so. I promise you, so much more is there to discover. When you create something, you want it to be beautiful and sustainable. There is a part of you that wants to make things just ‘right’ or ‘how they are supposed to be’. You are challenged to let go of that part of you. You are challenged to revolutionize your creative self and maybe even your romantic self. It’s a strive between committing to things ‘because you are supposed to’ or committing to things with your own pleasure in mind. With this New Moon you are invited to focus on what you enjoy to create, the acts that bring you pleasure in the bedroom and the endeavors in the art or dance studio or at your desk or whatever place that allows you to experience and bring out your creative self.
Here are your affirmations:
“With this New Moon I consciously make space for my creative self. I honor my creative potential. Whatever wants to come out of me is allowed to take up space. I don’t always need to confirm, to do things because they are right. I can also do things because I want to and because it brings me joy.
I honor my needs for pleasure, romance and sex. I will make time to experience pleasure and joy. With someone else or alone. In the mornings or evenings. It doesn’t matter, but I will make time for it and I am resourceful in creating it. Even in times of quarantine.
I honor my creativity. It wants to come out of me. It needs to have a place in this world. My creative power wants to be seen and acknowledged. Even if I’m not sure how, yet, I promise myself to honor it. I have a few years to figure it out.”
Aquarius Rising (& Sun)
Dear Aquarius. With this New Moon the focus lies on your foundations. Even though you were born in a certain place. Even though your home is in a certain place. It doesn’t mean you need to stay there. Your past may be fixed, your roots aren’t. You can restructure your foundations. You can break through the walls of your home, if you want, need or must. Or maybe certain breakthroughs are forced in you. Not always easy, but you are given the chance to rebuild more solid, enjoyable and beautiful foundations. You can build your own home. Families can be chosen.
Here are your affirmations:
“With this New Moon I remind myself that it is up to me to create the home that I want and that I am capable to do that, even if things might feel unstable at the moment (I have time). I promise myself I will invest myself in building a beautiful, safe and enjoyable home; because I am worthy.
I don’t need to be stuck where I am. I don’t need to live my life like my ancestors did. I am allowed to go my own way. To make new paths. To build new foundations. To fertilize the soil I am standing on. So that these grounds can last futures and are more sustainable, authentic and fertile.
I don’t need to stay imprisoned in unsafe or infertile homes. I can move out. I can paint the walls bright pink if I want. I promise myself to give myself the effort of creating the home or foundations that I want. Even if it’s scary, or difficult or at the moment too big of a project to oversee. I trust that I’ve got the time. I trust that in the end it will be beautiful and secure.”
Pisces Rising (& Sun)
For you, dear Pisces, this New Moon pulls your attention to your communications and the ways you want to live out daily life. This New Moon asks you to be open and honest, in communication with others or while, or maybe especially when, looking in the mirror. Sometimes it’s difficult or scary to open up; this New Moon wants you to be loving, kind and honest with yourself. This New Moon also pulls your focus to your everyday life and especially your needs and routines in daily or weekly life. Routines keep us grounded; what those routines are differs for all of us, but we need them. For some it’s a yoga practice in the morning, for others it’s the drive to work. For some it’s going out with friends in the weekend, for others it’s that once a month pottery class. Whatever it is; what routines have you been missing? Can you build them in again? If not, can you change them up a bit and replace them with something else? A lot has changed lately and it might have given you a feeling of lack of abundance and pleasure. This New Moon is a good moment to focus on how you can bring more pleasure into daily life or what you can do to survive this strange period in life.
Here are your affirmations:
“I will not hide away from the truth. I will be open and honest with myself. I can tell myself what I want and need in life. I can tell myself when I’m scared. I am allowed to express my boundaries. I am allowed to communicate all this to myself and to others. My needs, wishes and boundaries are worthy of expression.
When I feel unstable or ungrounded, I will use whatever resources I can tap into to create stable ground for myself where possible. I am creative and inventive. I know these strange times will pass and this all is temporary. I invest in (daily) routines that help me to feel grounded and that help me to experience joy. Beauty, pleasure and love are found in the simplest things in life.”
