What, When and Why of the Super New Moon

We have a Super New Moon on the 27th April at 3.31pm EST (Northern Hemisphere) and 28 Apr 2025 at 5:31am EST (Southern Hemisphere).

A Supermoon is a New or a Full moon which coincides with the closest distance to the earth in its orbit.  This means the moon appears larger than usual from the perspective from earth.

Magick of the Super New Moon

This Super New Moon falls in the astrological sign of Taurus therefore the energies heightened during this time is the Taurus star sign.

Taurus is an Earth sign which is ruled by Venus. It is a sign which can appear to only focus on beauty, love and pleasure however this energy is also grounded in nature and enjoyment of life. Taurus have emotions which are resilient and dependable.  This sign is full of energies which exude practicality, loyalty, patience and determination.

This is the first super new moon of the year and the eclipse influences have faded, as have the retrogrades of mercury and venus. This makes it an apt time to fully embrace the energies of the super new moon without any hindrances.

The kind of magick you can perform during the Super New Moon:

1. Cast spells for supercharged effects.

2. Create some magickal crafts.

3. Charge your magickal items.

4. Clean and cleanse your shrine/altar.

5. Leave new offerings on your shrine/altar.

6. Plan things for the future.

7. Set specific goals to manifest.

8. Focus on bringing things you want into your life.

9. Perform divination regarding changes you need to embrace.

10. Finance and income magick.

11. Workings which focus on stability and security.

12. Healing rituals and spells involving the physical body.

13. Hold a rite in honour of a New Moon God/dess such as Hekate.

This Super New Moon in Taurus is all about creating fulfilling opportunities and striving for better things in our lives.  It is full of new possibilities as we break the chains which bind us and tie us down allowing us to break free to grow, evolve and heal.

Below I have outlined a ritual you can perform in any tradition you resonate to, with the guidance of Hekate which works with the energies of this moon:

On the candle carve your name one one side and your mother’s name on the other and anoint with oil.

Take your candle and place it in the bowl of earth and then place that in the centre of your mirror (which is facing up) and say over it:

“I (your name) child of (your mother’s name)

Call out to you to hear my request –

Lead to me: love and gaiety!

Give to me: abundance and prosperity!

I ask this for forever and all time!”

Thanks and Closing

Thank Hekate and close sacred space or the shrine/altar.

Ritual is now complete and any grounding work can take place.  I would suggest eating an evening meal consisting of whole foods.

After the Ritual

Bury the offering you made to Hekate in your garden beneath or before a favoured tree, plant or herb or alternatively in a potted plant in your home.

In her name
