Lunar Tarot Reading ~ New Moon In Taurus April 27 2025

This New Moon in Taurus calls us to slow down and reconnect with the foundations that hold us steady.

Taurus, ruled by Venus, governs beauty, value, self-worth, and the tangible pleasures of life ~ food, comfort, touch, nature and art. It reminds us that growth doesn’t always look like forward motion; sometimes, it’s about tending to what we already have, and nourishing the soil beneath us.

This lunation is especially fertile for setting grounded, practical intentions around sustainability, self-worth, financial security and body-centered rituals. The energy is steady but not stagnant ~ it’s a moment to restore your roots before reaching for more.

With the Nine of Wands as our tarot companion, this New Moon also highlights resilience ~ the kind earned through experience, setbacks and showing up again anyway. There’s power in quiet perseverance and choosing to keep going even when you feel weary. What are you protecting? And what would it take to soften your guard and rebuild from a more aligned place?

Themes of This New Moon:

•  Rooted renewal

•  Boundaries and inner strength

•  Grounding intentions in physical reality

•  Rebuilding after burnout

•  Valuing your energy and time

 •  Creating sustainable systems of self-care and work

Reflective Journal Prompts

• Where in my life have I been pushing through, and what do I need to restore myself?
• What am I protecting? Is it still serving me?
• How can I redefine strength in a way that honours softness and slowness?
• What do I truly value — and how can I live more in alignment with that?
• What small, physical rituals help me feel rooted and safe in my body?

Tarot Card Message: Nine of Wands

The Nine of Wands appears when we’re at a threshold: weary but not defeated, bruised but still standing. It acknowledges the effort you’ve already poured into something ~ and the toll it may have taken. It asks you to trust your hard-earned wisdom, while also making space for softer strategies.

This card isn’t about pushing harder; it’s about discerning when to rest, where to reinforce your boundaries, and how to rise again without abandoning yourself in the process. You’ve already done the hardest part. Now it’s about reclaiming your energy and protecting what truly matters ~ not out of fear, but out of deep self-respect.

New Moon Ritual with KISH Studio Jewellery

Theme: Grounding in Quiet Strength

A ritual to help you release the pressure to perform or prove, and instead, reconnect with the quiet resilience that already lives within you. You’ll use your KISH jewellery as a physical anchor — a reminder of your strength, your boundaries, and your worth.

What You’ll Need

• A piece of KISH Studio jewellery (ideally a crystal associated with grounding, like Black Onyx, Carnelian, or Rutilated Quartz)
• A small bowl of water or a grounding essential oil
• A candle (earth-toned or unscented)
• Your journal and pen
• Optional: a piece of dark chocolate or a grounding snack to close

Ritual Steps

1. Create your space: Light your candle and place your jewellery beside it. Take a few deep breaths, focusing on the rise and fall of your body, connecting to the present moment.
2. Ground in stillness: Hold your piece of jewellery and notice its texture, weight, and energy. Place it on your body — over your heart, your wrist, your throat — wherever you need support. Feel yourself rooting down through your seat or feet.
3. Cleansing moment: Dip your fingers in the water or apply essential oil to your pulse points, imagining any residual tension or burnout gently dissolving.
4. Speak your truth aloud or write:
   
• I honour my strength, earned through experience.
  I choose rest and restoration.
  I am safe to slow down.
  I am building something lasting.”
5. Journal reflections: Answer 1–2 of the prompts above. Let your writing flow without editing.
6. Seal with intention: Touch your jewellery again, infusing it with the energy of this ritual. Know it holds your intention and will remind you of your rooted strength whenever you wear it.

Post-Ritual Integration

In the days after this ritual, give yourself full permission to move more slowly, to say no without guilt, and to prioritise rituals that replenish you. Wear your jewellery as a reminder that strength doesn’t always roar ~ sometimes, it whispers “not today” and that’s enough.

Try spending time in nature, tending to your space, or creating something tactile with your hands. Let your body guide your pace. Let your values guide your decisions.

This New Moon isn’t asking you to sprint ~it’s inviting you to plant something that will last.
