A heavy hitting start to Taurus Season
Listen to my new Lilith in Scorpio Podcast.
Welcome to Taurus Season! A personal favourite as it illuminates my Moon and North node in the 5th house of pleasure. YUM.
Taurus themes include physical resources, sensuality, pleasure, self-esteem, stability, nourishment, consistency, security and somatic intelligence.
However, this week is far from a day spa as we navigate a heavy hitting Grand Cross in the fixed signs of Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius and Leo.
Mars and Pluto are moving towards their opposition which can activate power struggles, injurious accidents or explosive “last straw” moments.
As la luna wanes towards the Taurus New Moon on April 28th we are confronted with withering dynamics around staying in control and given opportunities to integrate a new operating system.
Survive and Thrive tips
Where are you exposing yourself to violent people, situations and strategies that are no longer working?
How is your inner predator activated or repressed and where do you fall into the drama triangle of victim, perpetrator and rescuer?
Choose your battles wisely this week, get clear on your values and take responsibility with actions rather than reactions. Especially if your survival instincts are kicking off in response to actual or perceived threats.
Good use of this energy includes, staying in your lane, working out, well-salted thresholds, saunas, creative hyper-focus, non-violent but clear communication and a willingness to own your needs, desires and boundaries.
Because fixed energy likes to maintain and sustain, when all 4 fixed signs are pulled in different directions it can feel like a big, stubborn traffic jam; frustrating and heavy.
There’s also potential for extremely dynamic energy exchange like an alternating battery that just goes and goes and goes. Stamina. determination and grit!
I am expecting big financial or supply chain news, also potential actual explosions.
Since Pluto entered Aquarius it has been opposed by Mars in Leo on the following dates. Taking a look at them can reveal the personal patterns being activated now.

And finally… 27 April 2025.
A Venus ruled New Moon
Venus rules Taurus and at the upcoming new moon is direct at her degree of exaltation, 28 Pisces, with Saturn.
This somewhat offsets the grand cross with a deeper message. Themes of spiritual sobriety and reality checks around relationships continue. For those putting in the effort with creative projects and maturing boundaries from a place of genuine devotion, this can be quite rewarding.
Commitments made during the Venus Rx are up for review again now and we start to see the longer view regarding relationships, money and our core values taking form.
There is a HUGE message around compassion at this moon, the compassion that asks we stay disciplined when navigating conflict and abuse. How do we have healthy boundaries AND not fall into the trap of becoming an energetic match for the very thing we are opposed to?
This is Buddhist compassion, rooted in practice and cultivated over time, not spiritual bypassing or con-spirituality.
It’s about universal laws and the karmic cycles of deep time.
You actually do get what you give, eventually, because all is connected.
The presence of Uranus and Algol together in late Taurus is loaded with potential for folks to “loose their heads”. Sudden bursts of erotic desire, rage, protective energy or disruptive, wrathful emotions and creative power can erupt in these skies. So again, take it easy ESPECIALLY where alcohol is present.
There is also a square to the nodes of fate meaning things which start here will play out for a long while to come with great positive potential but absolutely no tolerance for being out of integrity.
Yes this is a Venus ruled moon but the Dark Feminine is very active and being called into its EXALTED expression as a liberating force.
Lilith is POTENT in Scorpio.
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio is very alive right now, being directly hit by this new moon and my upcoming MasterClass - Deeper Waters will be an opportunity to directly engage with her themes in order to liberate more authentic creative energy and liberated life force within your being.
I did a solo podcast for The Law of Positivism this week which you can listen to below.
It includes some astrological analysis of the Standing Rock Protests in North Dakota which took place last time Lilith was in Scorpio. This takes us into deeper territory than “fuck the patriarchy and sexual liberation” it actually reveals the indigenous medicine at the heart of Lilith’s current which says, when you act like you are above and separate to the wider web of life, you are at the mercy of true demons. The LOVE which empowers activism is incredibly important here.
There is a lot of talk about self-love these days, but how much of that is rooted in a need for control?
So many of us REFUSE to stop policing ourselves and others because we are terrified and disgusted by what’s on the other side of that. We are so en-cultured to maintain our security and belonging, that we unconsciously perpetuate cycles of abuse disguised as empowerment or even care.
It is absolutely rife in the feminine embodiment, conscious sexuality and even conscious parenting spaces. It is woven with every thread of boss babe, wellness influencer, entitled activist or arrogant intellectual theory. It is an ancient wound that we can not just “let go of” it requires a re-wilding of our instinctive and primal feminine self through the felt sense of direct experience.
Lilith is a feeling.
She is the lunar extremes of psychic and emotional thresholds that show us the most distorted aspects of our split from indigenous human nature.
Her medicine is potent, liberating and often very very uncomfortable.
Yet… when infertility, sexual abuse, ecocide, genocide and spiritual warfare continues to rage. As extractive, cancerous, dominator consciousness shape-shifts and repackages itself disguised as a saviour or a cure all ideology… it is Lilith who stalks us in the shadows, feasting in the crevices of our minds and haunting us with urges we cannot dare to name.
Mocking our delusions of separation yet creating such experiences of intensity she invites liberation when we cross thresholds of all former experience. Her’s is actually a corrective force, but not a palatable one.
I am very much looking forward to this masterclass and hope to give you some direct experience of how this is showing up in your body, mind and chart through somatic practice that explores both the exile and the return.
If you are curious to know more take a listen to the podcast below, and I would love to see you there.
The replay will be available afterwards for those who can’t make it live.
I have also shared a video about the Standing Rock protest for context if you care to watch. I highly suggest listening to the podcast and also watching that video if you are planning to attend deeper waters as this will help you to get the most out of it.
Many Blessings
