Venus with the North Node, Saturn & Neptune on a new moon in Taurus
“When the solution is simple, God is answering.”
We are fresh into Taurus season, a sign that is very much guided by simplicity, stillness, and the pure delight in slowing down to notice what an abundant world we live in with so much to experience through the various senses in our body.
Our new moon in Taurus happens on April 27th, though the build up to this moon is quite intense as Mars makes its final opposition to Pluto. I did a short video about this and how the new moon comes into play if you’d like to check it out here:
This moon is ruled by Venus, who is still in Pisces and in a conjunction with Saturn, The North Node, and Neptune. Saturn and the North Node only come together about every 12 years so it is quite special that Venus is right here making a conjunction with both of them literally within days of their conjunction. There is a finishing up and closing out right now of one way that we have been following our purpose and making our mark through dedicated efforts in the material world since all the way back in 2013 when these two last met in the sign of Scorpio.
Maybe you can see the tangible results of your efforts in some large way, the publishing of work, a business that has grown, a significant relationship that became foundational in your life, the completion of some level of training or schooling that was only a dream back in 2013.
When the North Node meets a planet it is saying something about our future, how we might be reaching to something that our soul is calling us towards. And of course in every new beginning there is also an ending, the experience of completion in one way or another. The faster moving planets like the Sun, Mercury, and Venus all make yearly conjunctions with the Nodes but to meet Saturn (and Neptune as well—their exact conjunction was back in Feb before Neptune moved into Aries) is much more rare and worth being present to.
As mentioned above, this auspicious meeting between the North Node, Neptune, & Saturn also coincides with their yearly conjunction to Venus. Whatever Pisces signifies within your personal chart, it is being infused with a potent refresh, a re-direction or up-leveling when it comes to your ideals, the legacy that feels connected in some way to your soul or deepest desires, and to the dreams and relationships that guide your actions and investment into this future. Because Venus is here at this moment—especially as we get our new moon in Taurus which is a fantastic moon to seed potentials that we wish to nourish and nurture over time—there is an opportunity to deepen, clarify, and crystallize our values into this long term vision.
Venus has had quite a journey this year already through her retrograde in Aries and Pisces. She is still making her way back through the degrees of the retrograde so this meeting for the third time now with Saturn, the North Node, and Neptune, should be much more clarifying and synthesizing.
We have all been experiencing significant destabilization within the collective this year. Even if we are not directly touched by a shock wave, when things change so radically within the status quo, it requires us to take stock and come back to center around what actually matters to us now. Maybe your job doesn’t exist anymore, maybe people you deeply care about are being threatened in ways you never would have imagined, maybe your body has had enough of the grind and will not let you continue, maybe what used to make you happy feels irrelevant now that you are at a different stage of life. Whatever has been creating that trembling beneath your feet, it has been for a very important reason.
We are being divinely directed towards creating a life that is worthy of our love—because it is infused with our love—not just our blood, sweat, and tears.
It is powerful that Neptune entered Aries in March, a placement very much about how we individuate and boldly pursue our unique dream. It is equally powerful that the first spark of this dream began in the sign of Pisces with that conjunction between Neptune and the North Node at 28 degrees of Pisces. There is a way that we are understanding how our unique journey is inherently part of the collective story. There is no way for us to truly be separate as we tread our own path so long as we are connected to our heart.
In this time which has felt like a straddling of worlds, the Taurus new moon is here to help us ground what has come from all this crossing back and forth over the threshold from Pisces into Aries. How have your values shifted since the year began? What are your priorities now? What vision do you have for yourself and how does it naturally weave into the collective?
How does you living your most satisfying life benefit everyone around you?
Taurus expects their labor to be worthy of their heart.
Why would we effort for anything less than wholly beautiful? If it isn’t quality—meaning it is not sustainable or aligned with nature and its rhythms— then it probably isn’t worth the time.
Sense making can literally be about engaging with life from the senses to create the most natural and coherent structures for living.
So ask yourself, truly, does your life make sense?
The new moon and Venus in her final conversation with Saturn, The North Node and Neptune, really want to make sure you know the answer to this question as what you are seeding now in the physical world has very long lasting implications and potential.
All my love,
