Theme: "Rooted Intentions: Grounding, Abundance & Embodied Worth"
How Soulful Sundays Works
Every two weeks, Soulful Sundays offers a chance to pause, reflect, and align with the rhythms of the moon. Each guide provides intentional practices to ground your energy and deepen your connection to the lunar cycle.
Rituals foster clarity, calm, and resilience—and when paired with ceremonial cacao, they open the heart and turn simple moments into sacred ones.
This is more than ritual; it’s a return to your natural flow.
Aligning with the Taurus New Moon
On Sunday, 27 April 2025, at 3:31 PM AEST, we welcome the New Moon in Taurus—a potent moment to plant seeds of intention rooted in stability, sensuality, and self-worth. Taurus, an earth sign ruled by Venus, invites us to slow down, connect with our senses, and cultivate a life of comfort and abundance.
This New Moon is an opportunity to reflect on what truly brings us security and joy. It’s a time to set intentions that align with our values and to take deliberate steps toward creating a life that feels both grounded and fulfilling.
🌑 Themes of the Taurus New Moon::
Grounding & Stability – Establishing routines that support your well-being
Abundance & Prosperity – Focusing on financial health and material comfort
Sensuality & Pleasure – Embracing the joys of the physical world
Self-Worth & Values – Aligning actions with personal values
As we align with Taurus energy, we are encouraged to honour our bodies, appreciate the beauty around us, and commit to practices that nurture our inner and outer worlds.
