​On April 22nd, we have a very gracious New Moon in Taurus, which amplifies the power of the Sun. This is the perfect time of the year to start setting new intentions, especially in themes regarding our personal and business relationships, and all matters associated with the heart. That 5-year plan is put into review and a dream board is envisioned, adding to the energy and determination to see our goals to completion.

​The Moon does quite well in Taurus, offering growth and stability to our ever-changing emotions, allowing us to put more focus on matters of the heart and our value-system. In conjunction with Uranus, this may highlight our financial issues and relationships – inspiring us to mend what is breaking or to throw in the towel when it comes down what is not working and cannot be mended. This is a time of making big decisions and then remaining fixed on the direction we wish to go from here on out.

Deck used: Muse Tarot

Those ideas you’ve had swirling around in your head are not there for no reason – you are channeling the divine – your higher self – and you are given clues and insights on where you need to push your focus. You know when you feel it deep in your bones. A golden idea seems too good not to turn down, and you can’t help but get started on making the planning that enables your first steps into obtaining a treasured goal.
​
The ground is fertile, ready for us to plant those seeds, so let those seeds stem from your heart – focus on what you really want and put your energy towards taking extra care to your garden, for the harvest is sure to be as beautiful as you can imagine it to be.

The Taurus New Moon is ruled by Venus, making it the perfect time to not only sow new seeds that are associated with your value system, but also your hearts desire for a companion, or even for more focus on self-love. This New Moon is all about abundance – in requesting what you truly want and laying down the foundation to receive it.

The love you offer (especially to yourself) is equal to the love you will receive from others. Love cannot be controlled or contained, but only embraced and felt deeply. Love is an experience; and it is always a different adventure with each partner we share it with.

This ritual is not to attract a specific person, or to summon your lover instantly – it’s purpose is to balance and strengthen your Heart Chakra, so you may attract loving experiences, and a future partner, that is aligned with your Higher Path for the purpose of personal growth and soul evolution.
​
The New Moon in Taurus is perfect for focusing on all things love!

The New Moon in Taurus may be affecting the relationship you share with your career and the success you have achieved within it thus far. You are yearning for something more, as you feel a missing piece within you, or a thirst that cannot be quenched with achievement alone – you need more meaning and a sense of purpose. You may be considering changes to invoke within your business, career, or even your creative projects.

The Taurus New Moon is speaking into the hearts to many of the zodiac, and you are no different, Leo, in fact, your heart is put onto display as you rule this energy center. You have been putting in a lot of effort recently so to accomplish many of the higher goals and responsibilities that life has bestowed upon you, and have you done so very well.

The Taurus New Moon reaches to your heart and asks that you forgive and see the world through the lens of this energy-center. You have been beating around the bush for quite some time now about a certain dilemma and may have even allowed your ego to convince you to become worried about it, making your anxieties run through the roof.

Perhaps too much energy has been poured into this dilemma, and when your focus directs to a different cause, you will find even more than what you have been looking for all along.
 
SAGITTARIUS
XXX the One
If you have done the work that was inspired during the Full Moon in Libra, then you should be receiving an abundance of gifts during the New Moon in Taurus. Sagittarius, you are all about taking risks, a shot in the dark, or a leap of faith, and it seems that this time has come for you to take a step into the unknown, but you feel so greatly inspired to do so, you feel as if a new opportunity, venture, or life-altering decision you have to make is something that derives from the truest version of yourself, from your higher-self.

You are encouraged to look beyond something, to see what may come after you immerse yourself into this journey.
 
PISCES
XI the Queen
As the prior Full Moon in Libra has brought the wisdom about the connection between you and all things, the Taurus New Moon urges you to express this divine truth you have found. You may be setting new intentions, making higher goals, or setting part on a new vision, and this is a great time to do so, but to only do so with grace, and holding that divine truth as the foundation of your new ventures.

On April 7th we are inspired to restore balance in our World with a harmonic Full Moon in Libra. However, it is paired with an Aries Sun, and the Full Moon caters to completions and bringing things to an end, and so with this fiery edge, there may first be chaos before there is order. This helps put into perspective of where the imbalances are, so to fix the scales. The Full Moon in Libra illuminates our personal and business relationships, bringing to light what doesn’t work, and what does.
​
With so much going on within our world today, it is almost difficult to have hope, especially when a powerful Full Moon lights up the sky with the influence to restore order, find balance, and to cater to a more harmonic lifestyle. There is so much corruption that is stirring within politics and so much coming to light with our government’s abuse of power. Libra is all about finding the injustice within the World and catering to a compromise in what works, and what doesn’t for the sake of finding and restoring balance.

Many astrologers and spiritual leaders have been speaking about the 7th in being a time where much of the darkness comes to light, and I do feel that this powerful Moon is going to illuminate that. What exactly? Well, we will just have to wait and see.
​
With time away from friends and most of our finances being cut in half, it is difficult to know how we are going to endure such a troubling time. However, with this time we have, I do feel it is the perfect opportunity to determine what in our budget is essentially a waste of money and to focus on our necessities more than our privileges. While this is difficult, in having to make certain cuts in things we have grown so accustomed to, these will promote proper lifestyle changes that I also feel are going to echo out into our relationships. We are determining what is truly valuable to us, our time, and our energy. This is where not only boundaries are set within our budget, but also within our social life as well. This is how we restore balance within our personal lives, and on a larger scale, project it into our environment as well which will in turn promote more justice within the oh-so dark world of corruption within the system.

The Star signals a time of having faith and giving a hope a chance to light our way through the dark. This is a time of finding that silver lining and making wish upon that fallen star. This is more than just was we want, or what we dream of having, but it is focused on how we can better enrich our lives and bring balance into our everyday routines. This is all about how we can restore peace within ourselves, our social life, and also within the issues that have been troubling us for a very long time.
​
The star also signals a time of help coming through by a source that is unexpected. So have faith, and expect the unexpected – don’t hold any high expectations about a certain solution and leave room for miracles to take surface.

This is more of a habit or even subtle ways that we can find more enrichment during such dark times within our world, more so than just a ritual. I feel that this is a critical time that we need to start focusing on the positive – as Libra is able to see both sides of the coin, we have been pushed to see the darker side of things, with so much fear mongering and hopelessness surfacing about, it is time to start focusing on the positive.

I have decided to make this ritual available for everyone, as it is merely just a list of recommendations you can do during the Full Moon. Typically, all of my Moon Rituals are posted to the Work Your Alchemy Blog or available for download.
​
Make a list of your greatest qualities – what about yourself makes you proud? What are your best features? Build yourself up. Count all of the ways you feel beautiful and promote them more rather than tearing yourself down.

Make a list of the qualities you most love about your partner – not only will this help you see your partner or friends in a better light, but by promoting what you love, it will overcome what you hate or dislike.

Make a pros and cons list of your social influences – as they say, your vibe attracts your tribe! However, the opposite is true as well – your tribe can influence your vibe. Make a pros and cons list of the great and not-so-great aspects of your social life, your friends, and the activities you had taken part on when you weren’t having to practice social distancing or being on lockdown. When this lockdown has lifted, it will give you a better sense of certain lifestyle changes you need to adapt into when venturing out into the social scene.

Revamp your beauty routine – since many of us have more time at home, it is the perfect time to start focusing on ways we can freshen up our beauty regimen. Do your hair more often or try out new hairstyles. Practice your makeup, or, don’t wear any makeup at all and allow your skin to heal and flaunt that natural look. Create new outfits of what you already own, or even upcycle old clothes that no longer fit or are outdated. This will also breakup the routine of wearing your Pj’s all day and falling into a rut.

Tackle relationship issues – have a willingness to listen to your partner and speak your needs or desires from the heart. This is the perfect time to increase your relationships sense of intimacy and to come to a compromise with old issues that have created resentment or distance. You can even write one another letters, which allows for you to speak your peace without being interrupted, as well as read their perspective and thoughts without having a rebuttal to interrupt them with.

Journal your injustices – since we are all having to stay at home in seclusion, it is a great time to really tap into that shadow work and to focus solely on how to overcome certain pains, traumas, and to heal many of the wounds that still inflict us. Write out what hurts, why it hurts, and consider how it is taking power over your life – where are your triggers? How can you overcome these? Of course this is something that is much easier said than done, and can often times be rather difficult depending on the wound you are addressing, and having the help of a friend or even seeking professional advice or guidance from a counselor can help as well.

ARIES
XIX the Animal
While the Libra Full Moon opposes you, Aries, you can feel a great rumble from within, enticing you to unveil the wool you’ve been hiding under and to reveal the Wolf that you really are. You want to devour your lover, or the focus of your desire under the light of the Full Moon and allow your primal instincts and passion to take over. If you are single – find a good outlet to release this energy, because it is coming in strong, and without a proper release, you might end up lashing out like a caged animal.
 
TAURUS
III the Starborn
The Full Moon in Libra reminds you of the purest desires you had long before things got complicated and distractions derailed you. It is time to get back into alignment with your most authentic self, and to allow your heart to lead you towards your destiny. You have been pushing towards goals that are far out of reach for a reason – they are not meant for you, so take the roadblocks as a sign to refocus your vision.
 
GEMINI
XVI the Shaman
The Full Moon in Libra urges you to express yourself, to share your wisdom and to invoke the courage to walk the path of shadow, healing, and light just as you have. You may notice that your influence reaches far beyond and touches the hearts of others. The Libra Full Moon activates a karmic experience, allowing for an old contract between you, another, and Source to be resolved.
 
CANCER
XXXII the Cave
The Libra Full Moon may oppose you, Cancer, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t able to work its magic on you. The Full Moon is sending you waves of downloads that focus directly into your heart-center, and with this comes transformation so to take on a higher vibration, which ultimately attracts better frequency of experiences and people in your life.
 
LEO
XIV the Judge
The Libra Full Moon urges you to take on balance, as there have been certain things in your life ingulfed in chaos. This is where those crumbling pieces finally start to fall into place, and you begin to place things where they should go, creating order out of the chaos you have been experiencing, which then calls for your higher judgement to discern what goes where.
 
VIRGO
LI the Flame
The Full Moon in Libra ignites a flame within you, rekindling your vitality and revealing the truth of what you have been yearning for – forgiveness, peace of mind, and the clarity to see situations for as they now, and not shrouded by fear or the need for control. You may have to make some sacrifices this month, and so the Full Moon illuminates what can be gained from having to do so.
 
LIBRA
LIX the Medallion
The Full Moon casts a spotlight upon you Libra, and it asks that you reclaim the frequency you wish to emit so to reach your truest desires and deepest needs. You may have been holding onto something that has been causing your frequency to become lowered – something that has been holding your highest self hostage from taking the wheel and directing your path. It is time to let it go – the resentment, the anger, and the unwillingness to forgive the past.
 
SCORPIO
LXXVI Kairos
The Full Moon in Libra is rather karmic for many of the zodiac in the sense that it is clearing out harbored feelings, cycles, and unresolved emotions within the heart center. And you are no different, Scorpio. The Full Moon says it’s time to do the work, to dive deep, to understand a little more behind the cyclic patterns you have been stuck within, so to finally break free.
 
SAGITTARIUS
XVI the Shaman
The Full Moon in Libra urges you to express yourself – your true self, beyond the layers of what life and society has molded you into being. This is where you will find the answers you have been looking for, and this is where you will be initiated into making choices that reflect what you have found. You may be encountering a massive shift around this time, and so it is vital that you speak, feel, and see through your heart-lens.
 
CAPRICORN
XLII the Empty Room
The Full Moon in Libra beckons you to realize the limitless potential that lies within you, and your situation. If you happen to feel you have hit rock bottom Capricorn, instead of crying about where you have landed, you need to see that there is a way out, and a way up, and with this rise comes a stronger, more vibrant, and self-aware creature that is yourself. You may also be feeling this deep hunger within you, which has caused for you to reach out for things which may not have been the best to fill this void.
 
AQUARIUS
XXXVIII the Bridge
The Full Moon in Libra mends a rift between you and someone you had distanced yourself from because of differing views or ideologies. This may be an internal conflict as well, and you are able to finally achieve the balance and reconciliation needed in order to move beyond this dilemma. This allows for you to place your focus onto higher goals and expands your 5-year plan.
 
PISCES
XXX the One
The Full Moon in Libra does so much more than just notion the concept of balance, and how balance is all within your life, but it also ties together the past, present, future, the light within and the darkness, as well as the how’s and why’s to events that had taken you to where you are today. The Full Moon illuminates the connection between you, others, and the vast universe around you.
