Uranus moved into Taurus (
after approx 84 years) back in May 2018 - note some of this post comes from that time frame. Then Uranus stationed retrograde and moved back into Aries.
On Wednesday, March 6, 2019 - he settles into Taurus for good, or at least the long haul (
through 2026).
Now we have all the outer planets (
Uranus in Taurus, Pluto in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces) settled into their pre-Pluto in Aquarius (
2023 dystopia/utopia) placements.
It's like the final number is put into a combination padlock, the tumbler rolls and the lock opens.
Our natal Taurus houses are the spaces we probably do the least amount of innovation - this is our space of comfort that comes from complacency - the place we are usually willing to LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE. Uranus will confront us about our fixed position through people and situations that make us UNCOMFORTABLE. Sleeping dogs will not be allowed to lie - sleeping dogs will be awake and barking.
Old habits may die hard, but they can also die fast.
People with early degree Taurus placements (
or planets/points in the very beginning degrees of the other fixed signs), a strong Taurus signature or a strong Uranus will likely feel this
first. But, all of us will be impacted during Uranus's transit through Taurus (
through 2026), collectively maybe right out of the gate with this week's strong energies!
People with planets and points in fixed signs (
Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) - which Uranus will conjunct, square and oppose - will likely be most impacted as our fixed positions get SHAKEN up.
Taurus is sextile (
opportunity) our Cancer and Pisces points and planets and trine (
brakes off) our Virgo and Capricorn planets and points. All those placements will be
aided by the changes Uranus brings.
So let's say you are a Virgo Sun who wants to make some kind of major move, but has been hesitating for years, no doubt being a Virgo and noticing
all the problems with such a venture, well, Uranus in Taurus could provide the change - the sliding into place here - that gets your ass
moving.
Changes, likely something that challenges our sense of security, could start off with a BANG.
Uranus was last in Taurus from June 1934 to May 1942.
Taurus is that comfortable space in our chart we rely on to ALWAYS BE THE SAME (
because it holds very precious stuff!) - Uranus - think "bull in a china shop" here - will likely be disruptive.
Something is probably going to get broken.
At the same time Uranus, who has been barreling through Aries for the last seven years - changing the way we see ourselves (
please God no more selfies), changing the way we start things, the way we fight, masculinity, Aries things and the way we go about getting what we want - slides into the comfortable mud that is Taurus. Uranus moves from answering to Mars to answering to
Venus!
Imagine a kindly old woman who likes to rise at dawn, have her tea on the terrace listening to the birds precisely at 8:00, then take a walk around the block where she will stop at the local bakery to purchase a hard roll, which she will test with her fingers for precisely the right amount of firmness, and eat for lunch at noon with a tomato she has picked from her garden. She naps at two on that same terrace with a book in her lap, has tea at four and dinner at eight. You get the idea.
Now imagine a rebellious teenager (
and Uranus is no teenager - he was Saturn's father after all, but you can see where I am going with this), her grandson, moves in with our kindly old woman. He is a nice guy, too, in his own way, but doesn't think about things like time and routine and comfort. He does what he wants.
And what he mostly wants to do are things he has never done before.
He will shake up her perfectly timed, comfy/cozy little world.
AND she will slow his
down.
What can we expect in our own lives?
Well, since Uranus rules the new and unusual - we could expect newness with the things Taurus rules. New ways to make money, new ways to save, new ways to share, new ways to spend. Shifting financial markets - ups and downs. New values. The things we value will shift over the next seven years. Our self-esteem will shift. The way we hold onto things and the things we hold onto will shift. Changes with our food supplies. The way we care for our resources (including our precious planet) will shift. Earth changes/storms will be disruptive and chaotic.
Uranus rules freedom/liberation so freedom from our collective Taurean stuff - resources, possessions, values, money - is all on the table, too. I know! Ouch!
The events that will transpire, the situations we will face, the thoughts we will think, the actions we will take, the people we will meet - that facilitate these changes are laid out in our natal charts to some degree and are also dictated by our own free will.
This will be different for everyone.
But we are all on the same ride
together.
Also, keep in mind, Uranus will operate differently while visiting stable Taurus. So we can flip this whole thing around. Uranian things become more
stable. Groups and humanitarian causes can get more focused and establish stronger footings. Technology more comfortable. The things that were previously 'ahead of their time' can start to 'bring home the bacon' now. Revolution plotted and planned. Scientific advancement that aids the planet. Scientific advancement that aids the human body. Aliens could come to earth (!) and yes, I mean this exactly as it sounds, and also the flipside of this with human people exploring other planets in new ways, but just as likely more alien history is unearthed - maybe something that sets the official creation story on its ear even more.
All kinds of comfortable things will likely get less comfortable due to innovative/advanced movement. And all kinds of uncomfortable things, that have just been too far out there, will begin to get more comfortable.
Some changes we will welcome and some we won't.
So, our ability to be comfortable - to feel safe and stable - will be dependent to our ability to embrace CHANGE and instability.
Uranus (
Aquarius) rules the group - he is the higher octave of Mercury - "the hive-mind".
Think about the power of that for a minute. Think about how THAT could get harnessed in stable, earthy Taurus and the amazing good that could come from that for Taurus ruled structures like our money (
crypto or hopefully something less energy depleting isn't going away folks), our food supply, the way we OWN things because doesn't it often feel like the things end up owning us, the ways we earn a living, the ways we earn our self-esteem, what we think is valuable.
Now, we can also see how any one of these things can be taken too far. If we get too far into the "hive mind" and
what is best for the group, this stuff can get downright badass scary, but let's not overthink this right now. This is a LONG transit, everything isn't going to happen this week!
My first astrology teacher was very Uranian. In the late 1980's she talked about the 2020's (
she saw the Age of Aquarius as kicking off when the Mayan calendar ended in 2012) as the time when we would be talking to people anywhere on the planet at anytime without wires and telephones. She thought this would be telepathic and even used the word "net" to describe the process, but because we couldn't really picture, in those days, the inter-net and how we would all be "connected" she didn't know what she didn't know. That's how the future is. We can guess at the kinds of changes Uranus might bring, but we never really
know until it happens.
When the planet Uranus was discovered science was taking over and humanity's connection to a living planet was tossed into a scrapheap called "superstition". We threw the baby out with the bathwater. Maybe with these two energies combining now - technology and a living, breathing planet - these energies, through us, can finally begin to work together to strengthen each other!
Think about our connection to energy - do we really think electricity has to move through wires? This is just the way it has been monetized. This could change now. Free energy IS a real possibility over the next few years and almost certainly will be a reality in the future. Thinking about what needs to break down to get us there is kind of scary though.
Let's take a brief look by sign - keeping in mind we can't pigeon-hole Uranus, folks. Check your rising and Sun signs.
