The Sun and Moon meet at 5°09' Taurus at 19:47 UTC on 24 April 2028, the new moon of the month. The Moon is 393,991 km from Earth, and there is no eclipse. Saturn is conjunct the lunation, Pluto squares it, and Jupiter is the only planet retrograde.
Astrologers read Taurus as the sign of steadiness, the senses and the things we build slowly, and the tradition treats a new moon as a quiet beginning rather than a dramatic one. Saturn close by is taken to favor commitments that are realistic and durable, while Pluto's square is often read as pressure on whatever has become stuck. A practical suggestion: choose one ordinary habit, such as a regular walk or a tidier workspace, and keep it for the coming four weeks.
