Weekly Astrology Day by Day for a Holistic Life with the Planets

Happy New Moon in Taurus

Welcome again, a new weekly astrology forecast to unpack and some amazing cosmic wisdom to share.

I write this usually in advance, so it is easy to share that today, 24/04/2025 I am just coming out of a very emotional week.

The opposition between Mars and Pluto is still very potent and has brought so much to digest in my spiritual experience. To me, this week was a massive learning curve about surrendering, letting go of control, and coming truly in acceptance with the unfolding of the events. Power of the now was the biggest lesson gifted to me in the present moment, where I am, writing to you in the future.

I am in Australia. If you are in a time zone behind, please remember to adjust my forecast, considering some of these transits will happen earlier

Monday:

We start Monday with a lovely new moon in Taurus, which brings the start of a new, fresh cycle and a lot of potential.

Let's talk a little bit about Taurus.

Taurus is an Earth sign ruled by Venus, and when we enter this energy, we focus on creating in the tangible, supporting our physical experience, and enjoying gifting the senses with pleasures. This is the moment to let go of guilt and indulge in some decadent chocolate, appreciate the curves of the body, and celebrate sensuality.

I also recommend you set intentions in line with the gifts offered by Taurus; this archetype is very practical and steady, moves towards success, so this is a great time to bring this energy into your routine, especially if you have recently felt too volatile and struggled to ground.

This is a perfect day to set intentions about the realisation of material projects, grounding and connection with Earth, send love and healing to Mother Earth and all the animals, set intentions for wealth, abundance, fertility, art, and stability.

During this new moon, make Art, Love, and surround yourself with beauty.

The New Moon in Taurus will be happening at 5:30 am Sydney time, use the next 8 hours to craft your unique ritual and merge with the energy this lunation is offering us.

Beauty is all around, and I enjoy taking care of myself.

If you are in a time zone behind, you would have started to experience this earlier, but I think it will be good to take the new moon practicr into your Monday.

If you have planets in the early degrees of Taurus, Leo, Aquarius, or Scorpio, this planetary configuration may feel even stronger, and this new moon could bring a sense of frustration, especially if you are not in line with your soul mission.

We are all called to shed something during this new lunar cycle. Observe the path and the direction you are taking. There is liberation in letting go.

Tuesday:

Today, the moon is moving towards the tail end of Taurus and applying to a conjunction with Uranus. I think it's good to have some Uranian energy at the beginning of the lunar cycle. It feels like we can do anything, and we can truly open up to new potentials. As we set intentions during the new moon, we also have to allow the universe to conspire and weave the events so we can receive. Today, we practice receiving the unexpected.

In general, today could be a day of great activity as the moon starts to grow, and Taurus brings the energy for work. You have the ability to bring this into your job, routine, and maybe be more productive.

Wednesday:

As the moon moves into Gemini, it's a great time to arrange meetings, share your plans, engage in discussions, take short trips, and participate in various mental activities today and tomorrow.

Today offers an opportunity for solutions, so take advantage of it to clarify your thoughts both internally and with others.

Wednesday is midweek is also a time to embrace the energetic shift from water to fire as we prepare for Venus entering Aries.

• Align with Your Purpose: The Uranus-North Node sextile encourages you to take bold steps toward your true calling. Trust your intuition and be open to unexpected opportunities that align with your soul's path.​

• Stay Grounded: While the energies are dynamic, grounding practices such as meditation, journaling, or spending time in nature can help maintain balance and clarity.

Thursday:

As Venus enters Aries, we're transitioning from the intense water energy we've experienced in recent months to a more fiery period. Neptune, Venus, and Mercury are in Aries, and Mars has shifted from Cancer to Leo.

Mars is well-positioned to support the conjunction between Neptune and Venus.

If your chart includes the fire element, you're awakening to a new kind of energy, as Neptune remains unfamiliar, and we're all still discovering how this planet in Aries is influencing our reality.

Today, the moon applies to a conjunction with Jupiter and truly pushes us to broaden our horizons. The power of communication, knowledge, and self-discovery is strong today. The Moon will also square the north node; something needs to come out, open up to sharing, and voice what you feel. It may be initially scary, but it could pay off.

Friday:

The waxing Moon enters Cancer. I like the waxing Moon in Cancer, which brings a sense of safety and helps us to create a space of comfort.

When the Moon is growing in light in her own domicile, Cancer, we expand in ability to conceive and feel, we make space for emotions to be processed, and there is a romantic vibe throughout the day.

Friday night, surround yourself with your loved ones, take time to acknowledge feelings, make the home cozy, and enjoy the sense of safety and stability.

Practicing gratitude as well is a perfect exercise for this Friday.

Today is a day to find emotional safety and become conscious, knowing that we are okay; this builds trust, faith, and helps us raise our vibration.

The Moon in Cancer waxing is a co-creator for developing this energy, and it could be a wonderful Friday if you channel your energy towards healing the Cancer part of your chart.

The weekend:

On Saturday, the moon is finishing its journey through Cancer, while Venus aligns with Neptune.

If you're in a relationship, be romantic and let new sparks ignite the passion. If you're single, daydreaming today might help bring the right person into your life.

With Venus and Neptune conjoining in Aries, creativity flourishes, and we focus on realizing our inner visions and dreams.

There's a desire to express our passions, and spirituality might feel like a sacred bond to nurture. This depends on your spiritual path, but this conjunction invites us to embrace the divine fire of creation, art, and spiritual endeavors.

As the Moon transitions into Leo, it will trine this planetary setup, adding more fire to the mix.

This weekend is perfect for love, self-expression, and celebration. Gather with friends and let this energy permeate your being, dance around a fire, engage in breathwork and sweat, and keep your body warm by getting your blood circulating.

Movement channels the fire and locks the healing energy within the body.

With Mars and Venus involved, which are quite physical, I encourage you to manifest the spiritual 5D energy of Neptune into your everyday life at your own pace. This will create a memory of happiness and well-being, aiding transformation and spiritual growth whenever needed.

Celebrate with fire, get things moving, and truly awaken the kundalini, becoming the dancing serpent through the sacred fire of your own temple.

You are sacred magic illuminating everyone around you.

This weekend is designed for passion, love, and healing.
