Uranus in Taurus

It's finally time to talk about an event that's quite a big deal in Astrology. Uranus has entered Taurus! This happened about mid May. It will revisit Aries in November till early March 2019 then it will be in Taurus for the home stretch through July 2025! (It will revisit Taurus in a retrograde after that as well). Basically, Uranus will spend a little over seven years in Taurus! Uranus takes 84 years to make it's way around the zodiac. This means lots of people have never seen this energy and the ones who have were mostly pretty young. Also, a new generation of kids is now being born!  While this energy will be around for awhile, the time period that Uranus changes signs is significant. You may experience some change, particularly unexpected change in your life around this time. 

✨The Energy of Uranus ✨

Uranus is the great awakener! It brings change (usually unexpected) and freedom. It helps us live outside the box. It has electrical energy and is associated with our nervous systems. It can bring genius and creative ideas. It is the first of the outer planets and therefore is the first planet that begins to bring higher consciousness to people. While it of course affects people personally, it is a planet that affects the collective. Uranus changing signs can bring personal changes, but what we can definitely look out for are societal shifts. 

⭐Uranus in Taurus ⭐

Taurus is the second sign in the zodiac. It is a fixed earth sign. The energy of Taurus can be a bit stubborn about change because it is focused on having stability. The fact that it is an earth sign means it very much has to do with the material plane. 

Uranus has a bit of trouble in Taurus because of the fixed quality. Change will inevitably happen, but we may be more hesitant to it in Taurus. It's either gonna take a little more time for change to happen while Uranus is in Taurus, or it will be more difficult to accept change. Holding on to any outdated structures will only create disruption though. 

⭑Areas of Life Where We Can Expect Societal Change⭑

An area of the physical plane that Taurus is concerned with is that of money and finances. We could definitely see some changes in monetary systems as a collective. 

Taurus has to do with what we 'own'. Our view of ownership and what is important for us to 'have' could undergo some changes. This energy could really take many different forms. On a more mundane level ownership of certain companies could change etc. 

Taurus is an earth sign and has to do with the earth itself. Earth day even falls when the Sun is in Taurus. We will most likely see changes with the earth. This energy could be used positively with people getting more into environmentalism. There could be greater passion for taking care of the earth and her creatures. However, if positive action towards the earth doesn't happen there could be some natural earth changes, natural disasters, or just about anything to bring our attention to the fact that we cannot live without being in harmony with the earth. It is our home first and foremost. 

Food and agriculture are things that Taurus rules. We could see changes in the food industry and agricultural industry. 

Taurus rules what we own, but not always in a material way. It has to do with the values we have and our self worth.There could be changes in what people value. Also, changes in self-worth. Hopefully some positive self-worth movements will continue to grow. This could be something that not only affects the collective, but could really have some quite personal affects. 

Growing on the self-worth theme, Taurus as a physical sign has to do with our bodies and because it is ruled by Venus has to do with beauty. I think there's great possibility that body positivity will continue to grow and beauty norms will change. This could help people have better self-worth. I feel this is so important in today's culture what with the photoshopped glam we see on tv and in magazines all the time. People are insecure about perfection it's not possible to have. Time to celebrate natural beauty and how unique we all are physically. Trends to help us better take care of our bodies naturally could become bigger as well. 

Uranus has to do with technology. So there could be any new technology that is related to any themes discussed here! 

Venus is the planet that rules Taurus and has to do with beauty and the arts. There could be changes in the arts. Perhaps a greater appreciation of them. There could also be greater appreciation for natural beauty that could help us preserve these beautiful places of nature, which is important at this time. 

Venus also rules love and the Taurus energy has to do with sensuality. There could be changes in how we perceive and pursue romance and maybe even sexuality. Romance seems to be getting a little lost these days what with hookup culture and some dating apps. It'd be nice to get a real sense of romance back. Also, to have the potential to get a more respected healthy sexuality back. Honoring what it really means to connect with another. We went from repressed sexuality to distorted sexuality in modern culture. Boy oh boy would it be great for us to find a good balance finally! After all, sex is what creates life. When sexuality is out of balance, our relationship to life itself is dysfunctional.

Venus also is the divine feminine energy. This means we could see changes around the feminine energy. This is also such a big issue at this time! It would be so great to heal the feminine energy and embrace more female energy on this planet. Chiron will be in Aries just around the same amount of time as Uranus is in Taurus. Chiron in Aries can help us heal wounds around out of whack masculine energy. Both of these planetary bodies can really help us get back into balance in terms of yin/yang balance. ( It's important to note that I'm talking about energy, not necessarily genders) 

✫The Other Outer Planets Positions While Uranus is in Taurus✫

Besides Chiron, It's interesting to note the placement of Pluto and Neptune while Uranus is in Taurus.  Pluto will mostly be in Capricorn during the time Uranus spends in Taurus. Pluto is the last outer planet to move through Capricorn and is helping us to transform structures of society that aren't working anymore. This works wonderfully with Uranus in Taurus because they are both earth signs. Neptune will mostly be in Pisces while Uranus is in Taurus. Neptune in Pisces really helps us to connect to our spirituality and to remember that there is more to life than this physical plane. This energy works beautifully with Uranus in Taurus!!! We get reminded to connect to our spirit and the beauty of that which can not be seen and yet we also are reminded of the beauty on this planet, that is our home. The earth is our home and the earth's home is the universe. We are being reminded to appreciate both the earth and the vast universe. Pluto and Neptune will change signs the last year Uranus is in Taurus. That's a topic for a later date though. I just wanted to mention the energy for the majority of the time at the moment. 

✨The Last Time That Uranus Was in Taurus✨

The last time Uranus was in Taurus was from 1935-1942. I thought it would be interesting to mention some events during that time period in which I can see a link to Uranus in Taurus. Obviously the energy of that period was made up of all the planets not just Uranus, so don't think that history will exactly repeat itself. 

The first thing that was going on during that time period that seems linked to Uranus in Taurus was the Great Depression. This comes from Taurus ruling money and financial systems. Hopefully financial changes this time around won't be so difficult!

World War II was happening during this period and some of the affects of that seem related to Uranus in Taurus. Food wise there was rationing. For females, traditional roles were changing. In general,  I would imagine that war changed people's values etc.

The Dust Bowl is an event that falls into three Uranus Taurus categories: financial, food/crops, and the environment/earth. 

On a more fun note, Color in film began! This is related to Uranus in Taurus bringing changes to art. This was a big period of time for film. It was the golden age of Hollywood. Also, the first Disney movie was made, which changed animation forever. The golden age of Hollywood also brought some new beauty norms and glam to the forefront, which I still think we are dealing with and it's time for that to change again. 

I'm just touching the tip of the iceberg in terms of events that Uranus in Taurus influenced and that could be something I touch on again at a later date. 

~ What a big change is upon us as Uranus changes signs! How exciting though. We are entering into a new era. Let's hope we see some really positive changes. ~
