According to Greenwich Mean Time, the show begins promptly at 19:22 — courteously and precisely, as all well-mannered celestial events should. But don’t pop the champagne just yet: this time, our innocent lunar gathering is accompanied by the rather unruly gentlemen Mars and Pluto, lending the occasion a spicy, provocative, and — let’s be honest — slightly topsy-turvy air.

Taurus, our star of the evening, is a true connoisseur of the material world. It adores comfort, values, stability, and generally anything one can hug, squirrel away in a chest, and lovingly count on a long winter’s night. Thus, a New Moon in Taurus traditionally drags resource-related matters into the spotlight — whether that means bags of golden doubloons or the precious energies of the soul.

Now, cue a little more drama: Venus, the ruling planet of this New Moon, is reclining gracefully in Pisces, all wrapped up in a rather earnest embrace with Saturn. Their union hints at serious talks about feelings, relationships, and agreements. It's a time when we are prone to dissect, scrutinize, and determine exactly who and what is truly valuable in our lives.

But — alas and alack! — looming in the wings are the shadowy figures of Mars and Pluto, adding no small amount of pepper to the proceedings. Expect potential flare-ups, the need to defend your territory, and, quite possibly, seismic shifts in your priorities. This lunar month promises to be no simple jaunt through a sunlit park — rather, a gauntlet for illusions and a battleground for the integrity of your inner self.

What, then, is a reasonable soul to do, perched in an armchair with a stiff drink in hand? Take a good, hard look at what needs to be released. What connections have turned into burdens? What parts of your own splendid self are begging to step into the light, free from fear or apology?

Adding an extra flourish to this already lively symphony, we also have the exact opposition of Mars and Pluto today. This planetary clash cranks the turbulence levels up to — let’s say — quite noticeable heights. The best course of action: keep things calm, avoid heated arguments and rash adventures. And if you've been nurturing a secret desire to part ways with outdated entanglements, well, this might just be your golden hour.
