Taurus Season: New Growth

The Sun enters Taurus on April 20th at 4:55 am EDT. This is the season of resources and grounding, with a focus on growing what’s been planted. It means making the most of what you have. Security comes from solidifying what works for you and understanding the true value of your resources and yourself.

Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign that is concerned with growth, abundance, fertility and all things that you can see and touch. If there’s no physical evidence it’s not real.

Having said all this, the Sun will conjoin Uranus in Taurus. This could illuminate a specific situation that is ready to be disrupted, or a moment when you realize that growth occurs in fresh soil. The field you’re working is no longer sustaining you. The old values are stale – abundance lies ahead, in new territory.

This post outlines what Uranus’s transit of Taurus means. Despite this sign’s fixed habits and dependence on security, Uranus says it’s time for something to be updated. The downside of Taurus’ fixed nature is stagnation that denies growth. Uranus (which is about the future) is here to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Wondering how Uranus’ transit of Taurus might impact you? I’ve written an eBook about it, based on your house positions (you need to know your birth time so you can figure out which description in the book applies to you).

Here are the aspects the Sun in Taurus will make:

  • Apr 22nd: Sun conjunct Uranus (2 deg)

  • May 2nd: inconjunct Ceres Rx in Sagittarius (12 deg)

  • May 3rd: inconjunct Pallas Rx in Libra (13 deg)

  • May 4th: New Moon (14 deg Taurus)

  • May 8th: Sun sextile Neptune in Pisces (18 deg)

  • May 10th: Sun trine the Capricorn South Node (19 deg)

  • May 11th: Sun trine Saturn Rx in Capricorn (20 deg)

  • May 13th: Sun inconjunct Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (22 deg)

  • May 13th: Sun trine Pluto Rx in Capricorn (23 deg)

  • May 18th: Full Moon (27 deg Scorpio)

  • May 21st: Gemini ingress

Careless of Where Seeds Are Being Tossed

by  • 

An analytical Virgo Moon will fuel the beginning of this new week on Monday April 15. We could feel encouraged to work WITH the new upcoming changes… or worry with sleepless nights instead. As the challenging energy grows from the Venus/Jupiter square, mountains might be created from molehills, if we forfeit self-control. Spontaneous ideas will […]

Growing From Within The Heart | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

There are a few challenges to be experienced in this new week under the sluggish Sun/Saturn square on Wednesday April 10, a clumsy Mercury/Jupiter square on Friday April 12, and a demanding Sun/Pluto square on Saturday April 13. Although dark clouds are brewing, a few of us will still be pacing back and forth before […]

Double Bubble of Trouble | Starcana Cosmic Dirt

Venus enters Pisces. What has recently mattered and supported our personal growth will be shifting as Venus transits from altruistic Aquarius, to join thoughtful Mercury and imaginative Neptune in bubbly Pisces, on Tuesday March 26. During the next four weeks, we could find ourselves attracted to what proves to be sympathetic, forgiving and healing. Through […]

A turn of the wheel is taking place as the powerful Sun (ego, identity) moves out of the sympathetic waters of Pisces, and into the active fires of Aries on the Spring Equinox, Wednesday afternoon March 20. During the next four […]

March 14th, 2019: Take Action

  • First Quarter Square between the Gemini Moon and Pisces Sun (23 deg)

  • Sun conjunct Mercury Rx in Pisces (24 deg)

  • Mercury Rx trine the Cancer North Node (24 deg)

  • Mars in Taurus trine Saturn in Capricorn (18 deg)

First Quarter Square

Here we have a crisis that demands action, but your choices (Gemini) may be vague (Pisces). It will be difficult to pinpoint the correct path and it may feel easier to not choose, or to simply drift along without looking at the facts. Nonetheless, you need to do something and that will require selecting A or B.

The Sun’s inferior conjunction to Mercury Rx (ruler of Gemini) can help, as it marks a point of clarity. This is the middle of Mercury’s retrograde, so something essential will be illuminated. Delays, shifting facts and hazy truths have led you to this point- pay attention to what’s revealed and use it in your First Quarter Square decision.

Mercury Rx trine the North Node means that overall, what you learn (and act on) today can take you in the right direction-towards a place that feels (Cancer) safe, authentic and fully aligned with what you need. This is the second of Mercury’s three trines to the North Node (the first one occurred on Feb 26th) so this is part of an ongoing process.

Note that the inferior conjunction is similar to a “New Moon” influence (it marks a new beginning) and will be connected to the “Full Moon” results of the previous superior Sun/Mercury conjunction from January 29th at 9 deg Aquarius.

Mars/Saturn

Patient actions harmonize with rules and structure. In the Earth signs, this is the ultimate manifestation aspect as what you do can have physical, measurable results. There’s nothing dramatic here – slow and steady is the way to go. Work within the boundaries. Movement may be so slow that you question if any progress is being made, but you’ll know there’s progress if you can see/feel the results. Mars in Taurus favours building material security or working to make something grow.

This is about taking responsibility (Saturn) for what you want. If you don’t act and you don’t commit to the long- term, nothing will happen.

Consider how this relates back to the required action of the First Quarter Square – choose (Gemini) based on what’s revealed (Sun/Mercury), commit to that path then move forward carefully and deliberately.

March 11th, 2019: A Day of Ease

  • Waxing Sextile between the Taurus Moon and Pisces Sun (21 deg)

  • Venus in Aquarius sextile Ceres in Sagittarius (11 deg)

Taurus’ immediate reality grounds Pisces’ exalted dreams. Vague potentials from the March 6th Pisces New Moon can be integrated with what’s in front of you. Consider how you can move forward, step by step. What are some simple, practical things you can do that will have a physical impact? This is how you give form to the dream or work your way through the confusion.

Venus/Ceres supports open-minded nurturing and expressions of love. There is no possessiveness here – no judgements or restrictions. No fear. Caring for someone or encouraging the growth of a desired potential means opening your eyes to other possibilities and allowing the unexpected to develop.

Overall, today’s sextiles promise easy opportunities to move forward. Nothing dramatic, just some gentle nudges in the right direction.
