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

April 18th, 2019: Aries Sun Sextile Black Moon Lilith

  • Aries Sun sextile Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius (28 deg)

Lilith’s dangerous woman/outsider is given a boost. Subjective ego and purpose are integrated with fringe expressions of women’s sexuality/power. A social issue may be illuminated, or you may feel that it’s time to express a part of yourself that people object to.

It takes courage to own taboo energy- to step forward from detachment and make it purely personal. To say “This is who I am.” This harmonious aspect allows you to do this in a way that’s effortless, but the energy of the sextile is so effortless that you could miss it.. Watch for the moment when you feel a slight nudge to step forward and declare what’s uncomfortable or forbidden – something that breaks the rules about how a woman “should” be.

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 […]

March 15th, 2019: The Way Forward

  • Pisces Sun trine Cancer North Node (24 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Pisces square Jupiter in Sagittarius (23 deg)

Continuing yesterday’s influence (Mercury Rx trine the North Node) Sun/North Node can be seen as a spotlight that illuminates the way ahead (the North Node is the future). Watch for a sense of vitality that encourages you to keep heading in the direction that feels (Cancer) good/satisfying. You may be a bit more vulnerable (but not to the point where you’re unsafe) and there’s a difference between accessing feelings in a healthy manner versus making yourself a victim. Pisces and Cancer together is about empathy and tuning into what’s behind the hard shell.

Mercury Rx/Jupiter can be the repeat of a promise, big idea or hope from February 22nd. Now you’re questioning the details of the big opportunity and they’re shifting or fading. Remember that a square to Jupiter means exaggeration, so what you hear/learn will not be completely in line with what’s possible. That’s not to say it’s impossible, just that you need to be savvy about this.

Big words need to be analyzed until you get to the truth is (which will be much smaller than what you currently know).

This is the second of three squares, so it’s not over yet. Don’t get discouraged if questions come up – this potential may take a bit longer to realize. In some cases, this could be a second chance at an optimistic vision. Either way, know that the story is still not clear, and that’s ok – it’s not meant to be (yet). Yesterday and today’s aspects to the North Node insist that you’re still moving in the right direction.

Overall, despite the questions, today’s energy hints that something better is coming.

And it is!

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 13th, 2019: Exaggerated Potential

  • Sun in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn (22 deg)

  • Sun in Pisces square Jupiter in Sagittarius (23 deg)

The Sun can bring life to an important potential, but you’ll have to keep an eye on perspective.

Pluto adds intensity to the Pisces Sun’s dream. The vision, vague possibility or belief is given substance as deeper reservoirs of passion and power are accessed. Pluto in Capricorn redefines the rules through intense transformation, or the focus of power. This is what will bring depth to the vision and passion to the belief.

Jupiter will pump things up with excitement and limitless potential as it expands Pisces’ already fluid boundaries. Now we have the BIG dream or EUPHORIC belief. You have Pluto intensity and Jupiter amplification, but a hard aspect to Jupiter always triggers exaggeration. Even if the core is sound, realistic perspective will be lost.

Don’t turn away from this – there’s definitely something to work with. But keep reminding yourself that perspective is everything. This can be very good but it won’t be as magical or limitless as it seems right now. If you can, dial it back a sniff – it will be easy to expect too much.

This influence will continue to develop through March 16th as Mercury Rx in Pisces hits the same degrees.
