The Moon and the Sun meet at 7°47' Taurus on 27 April 2025 at 19:31 UTC, the exact moment of the new moon. The Moon is 357,137 km from Earth, a relatively close distance. Two planets square the lunation: Mars within 3.6 degrees and Pluto within 4.0 degrees. No planets are retrograde, and there is no eclipse.
Taurus is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus, and the tradition links it with the body, the senses, steady work and what we own and value. Astrologers read a new moon as a starting point, so here it is taken to favor slow, durable beginnings. The squares from Mars and Pluto are traditionally read as friction or pressure around those plans. A modest suggestion: choose one practical thing worth building patiently and give it regular time.
