The new moon of April 2028 peaks on 24 April 2028 at 19:46 UTC, in Taurus. A new moon is the dark point of the cycle — the Moon between Earth and Sun, its lit face turned away. Nothing is visible, which is exactly the use of it. It is the traditional moment for setting intentions, before there is anything to show for them.

What the April new moon means
A new moon in Taurus plants slowly and keeps. Seed something you intend to still be doing in a year: a rate you charge, a routine, a boundary about rest.
Taurus is a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus. Earth signs work through the body and the calendar. Anything you decide here should have a date attached.
A ritual for this moon
Eat one meal with no screen, no reading, no company. Notice taste and texture and when you are actually full. Taurus practices are unglamorous on purpose — the sign responds to the body being consulted rather than managed.
