You can choose to do as much or as little of this ritual as you would like. All that is required is your presence.
The Journaling with the Moon series is intended to help us honor the Tarot Card of 2025, the Hermit, and the secondary card of the year, the Moon, as well as the energies behind the current moon phase.

New Moon in Taurus Themes
We welcome this Taurus New Moon on April 27 at 12:31 PST. New Moons are always an opportunity to embrace a new beginning, and now that we’re out of eclipse season, you may feel that even moreso! Below I’ve compiled a list of themes that I think are important to note.
During this New Moon, you may feel called to:
Slow down, ground, and prioritize so you can be more present in your daily life, enjoying the simple pleasures.
Recommit yourself to your values and desires. This is a fresh start, a chance to shift your focus to creating the life you want, rather than putting too much focus on the challenges or the things you don’t want. Keep your eyes on the prize!
Begin healing something that’s been lingering. This aligns with the calling to shift your attention to what you want to create. In order to do that, you may need to offer something up for healing and begin that process. This is a good time to commit to taking that first step (and that might simply be acknowledging that healing is needed).
Rethink what comfort and security mean to you. You may want to examine how you’re cultivating these in your life, and if the actions you’re taking are aligned with your definitions. This could lead to setting some new financial goals, but it doesn’t have to be all about finances. Regardless of which area of life it appears in, it’s good to explore how you can build a solid foundation for yourself.
Confront some lingering tension. Apparently we have Mars and Pluto to thank for this! But this is something to be aware of if we feel some anger rising over an already tense situation. Be kind to yourself and move forward with care.
During this New Moon in Taurus, do what you can to stay in the present and allow yourself to enjoy all the things, people, environments, and activities that bring you comfort and pleasure. This will make room for even more of what you desire.
It’s also a good time to listen to and trust yourself—to trust that you can create the security you seek and that you truly have your own back. You build this trust by letting yourself enjoy life and all its big and small moments.

The Message
Your Soul Journaling Ritual for the New Moon in Taurus
Before sitting down to journal, set up a nice, cozy space. In addition to your favorite journaling materials, you could light a candle, diffuse essential oils, set out your favorite crystals, and display the Tarot cards you might want to work with for this New Moon. You could also bring out an Oracle deck.
For Tarot, here’s what I suggest having nearby or on your altar this New Moon:
The Hermit (Card for 2025, which reminds us of the importance of going within and letting our inner wisdom guide us.)
The Moon (Secondary card for 2025, which reminds us of the importance of deep, honest reflection so we can see ourselves clearly.)
The Hierophant (The Tarot card associated with Taurus, which encourages us to build a strong foundation for our spiritual journey by honoring traditions, following a clear set of values or guidelines, or being part of a traditional organization. You can read my recent post on Taurus and the Hierophant for more details on how these two connect.)
Your Tarot card(s) of the year (If you don’t know what it is yet, discover it here.)
Once you’ve gathered the materials you’d like, settle in to do the Soul Journaling Session, which includes a visualization and a Soul Prompt. The prompt is written as a direct question to your Soul, and this is the prompt we use for every New Moon. The recording of me leading you through this is below, as well as a written out version for you to follow along with.
If you’d like to go deeper, you’ll find prompts specifically speaking to the themes of this New Moon in Taurus immediately following the Soul Journaling Session.
After taking a couple deep breaths to settle, follow the visualization below, and say silently to yourself or aloud the statements in italics.
Ground yourself.
Imagine there are roots growing from beneath you. These roots travel deep down, connecting you to the center of the Earth. Perhaps there is a glowing ball of light or even a crystal at the center of the Earth that you are connecting to.
Thank you, Mother Earth and Ancestors for being with me today, and helping me hear the wisdom of my Soul.
Connect to the Universe/Divine or the Moon
Imagine now that there is a beautiful rose gold light flowing down like a waterfall from the sky/the Universe, above you. Perhaps the light is coming directly from the Moon. Choose the source that is speaking to you most today.
Thank you, Spirit Team, for protecting and guiding me today. Thank you for helping me hear the wisdom of my Soul.
Thank you, Moon, for guiding me as I go deep within to reflect. Thank you for helping me hear the wisdom of my Soul.
Focus on the light now as it illuminates the crown of your head. This beautiful, warm light activates your inner wisdom, connecting you to your Higher Self.
The light then travels to your third eye. Your intuition is activated.
The light settles in your heart space. Here, you feel and connect to your soul.
Thank you, Higher Self, for guiding me and allowing me to hear my intuition and inner wisdom.
Thank you, Soul, for speaking your story through me, and allowing me to hear your wisdom.
The light continues to flow. It moves down your whole body, washing away and releasing anything you do not need to bring with you into this practice.
Thank you, Higher Self, Soul, and Spirit team for helping me release what doesn’t serve me or this practice today.
Focus again on that light within your heart, and take a deep breath in.
Exhale, sigh it out, letting that light shine outward, opening communication with your soul.
Perhaps you even see this light reach your hands as you prepare to write, the wisdom it carries ready to flow through you and your writing.
When you are ready, gently return to your space, blink your eyes a couple times, and then gather your journaling materials.
Question for the Soul
The question for your Soul on the New Moon is:
Soul, where are you leading me this New Moon? What intention would you like for me to set for this new cycle?
Sit, listen, and feel into a response for however long you need to. Write down whatever comes up in whatever form it comes in. Perhaps you just write words or even sketch something you see.
If you want extra support or additional insight, pull a Tarot or Oracle card and use this as a jumping off point. Do whatever feels right in the moment.
Your New Moon in Taurus Journal Prompts
Feel free to play sound healing or comforting music in the background while you journal. I’ve included a track created by my husband below.
What do I want to welcome in more of in my life? How can I commit to cultivating this and making it a reality?
What am I ready to heal? How might healing this change my life or perspective?
What would it take for me to feel more comfortable and secure in my life right now?
What steps might I take to create this security for myself?
