It’s giving range.

This week, we start with a power play, end with the New Moon, and in between—well, the magic starts amplifies. It’s one of those weeks where everything feels like it’s happening at once—but in that subtle, subterranean way Taurus season does best. It’s not a lightning strike; it’s the ground shifting beneath your feet. Slowly. Irrevocably. Consequentially.

This week’s astrology is about finding your center in a changing world. You can’t control the chaos, but you can choose your perspective. Every reaction is an action. You decide what’s real.

Sun in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius

On Wednesday, we experience the first Sun-Pluto square of 2025, and it’s ready to make us uncomfortable.

That’s the whole point.

Taurus is rooted, consistent, and material—it wants things to be permeant. To last. But Pluto in Aquarius couldn’t care less. It’s here to vaporize the outworn and make room for the future. Together, they create friction between what you think you need and what’s actually holding you back.

This square brings intensity to the surface. Power dynamics may feel sharper than usual. Control issues will spike. But it’s not about dominance—it’s about integration. Where are you resisting change out of fear? Where are you clinging to comfort instead of evolving? Don’t run from the dissonance. Work with it; that’s Plutonian alchemy at its finest.

By now, you understand the work required to turn your dreams into reality. You feel the weight of what takes to build something lasting—be it in love, finances, or your relationship to self-worth. Similarly, this transit isn’t about instant gratification. The Venus–Saturns conjunction says: If you want this, prove it.

It’s time to show up with structure. With clarity. With your tail between your legs, if you must. With the North Node in Pisces just a few degrees away, this is a massive redirection—perhaps an exciting new beginning disguised as an ending. The illusion has been scrubbed away, and now you get to choose: are you going to keep chasing mirages, or are ready to commit to yourure?

Mars oppose Pluto in Aquarius

Hi, Mars. After a long, strange trip through Cancer (not to mention its extended retrograde cycle), Mars is back in bold, brash, self-expressive Leo. Now, the planet of action is ready to shine.

But Pluto in Aquarius is like, ummm… not so fast. Is your motivation purely self-serving? How does your singular ambition impact the greater good? This opposition creates high-stakes tension between personal power and systemic change. Are you pushing for visibility—or control? Is your hustle rooted in ego—or transformation?

Don’t get caught in unnecessary drama. Use this energy to channel your action into something real. As long as you’re willing to take responsibility for the consequences, this is the perfect time to up the ante.

New Moon in Taurus

The New Moon in Taurus marks our return to conscious creation. After weeks of eclipse chaos, emotional excavation, and retrograde reverberations, we’re finally in a place to set intentions again—clear-eyed and steady. Taurus doesn’t speculate. It commits. This is about rooting into what matters most: the tangible, the sensual, the real.

It’s time to manifest, divas.

Taurus is ruled by Venus—and while it’s no longer retrograde—is still aligned with Saturn and the North Node in Pisces. So, the magic you cultivate under this lunation should be anchored by more than silly, fleeting proclivities. With this supercharged New Moon, you have the opportunity to shape life around what you actually value: love, creativity, beauty, security, and the resources that truly matter.

What are you choosing to nurture? What are you willing to protect? What deserves your sustained, deliberate attention?

This New Moon reminds us what manifestation really is—not wishful thinking, but the process of bridging the astral and the physical. You receive a vision, yes, but then you plant it in the soil. You tend to it. You make space for it to grow. This lunation in Taurus asks for tactile intention: to move your dreams from idea to embodiment, from ethereal to actual. And that means showing up—again and again—with love, patience, and trust in your magic.
