Taurus is the realm of Earth. Since Uranus entered Taurus, the core areas of Taurus and Venusian themes have shifted the Earth element upon which we stood. Our relation to the body, The Earth, Money and what we Value itself. Taurus being an earth sign deals with the tangible, what is felt, what sustains, and what brings pleasure. When Uranus moved through this terrain, stability was disrupted as the ground beneath the feet of humanity shook.
Just before and into this ingress, the Me-Too movement rose into global awareness. The feminine power to bring consciousness to female sexuality rose in a wave of awareness. Patterns of violation, coercion, and silent endurance entered the conscious mind and dialogue of the human world. There was a collective refusal to continue carrying on what had been normalized and to the urge to acknowledge sexual power dynamics as they were and to cast off the yolks of hidden Patriarchy. The feminine body began to speak, and once it speaks, it does not return to silence.
At the same time, the material systems that organize the world began to strain. Trade tensions increased. Supply chains and treaties of the world order showed their fragility. There was an early sense that the structures we rely on to move goods, to sustain economies, were not as stable as they appeared. By the time Uranus leaves Taurus, the old trade agreements have been shattered, and the old geopolitical treaties are uncertain.
In 2020 we experienced the worldwide Covid Pandemic.
The pandemic brought a sudden confrontation with the physical reality of life. Movement stopped. Our Bodies were confined in local, in buildings, and neighborhoods. The home became the center of our existence. Supply chains fractured, and local consciousness began to grow. Labor systems shifted overnight. At the same time to keep society going, unprecedented amounts of money were created, distributed, and questioned. This became the first full nationwide experience of the distribution of wealth as UBI in the US. It caused terror in the ruling class as people began to refuse to show up for low-income jobs that did not provide a living wage but exposed the working class to sickness for the convenience of a happy meal. Society began to question what is value, if it can be produced at will? What is security, if the structures beneath it can collapse so quickly?
As the years unfolded with Uranus traveling through Taurus, these themes deepened.
The GameStop stock bubble revealed a collective capacity and uprising within financial systems. Individuals coordinated, disrupted, and challenged institutional financial power. Crypto and digital assets surged, asking again what ownership means and how value is defined in a digital age. Value became fluid, unstable, and new definitions of value were created as Crypto currency.
Conversations around consent, autonomy, and identity expanded. There was a continued movement toward self-possession. As the horrors of the Epstein class were revealed new questions arose about what money and misogyny buy and can get away with. The bodies of others were no longer assumed to be passive or available without equal exchange. What It is to be a woman or of fluid gender began to assert boundaries, agency, and worth. Individuals claimed sovereignty over their sexual identities in a way that had not been seen before. This of course terrified the old systems of religious and financial control over the feminine.
In 2022, the tension became explicit.
The Ukraine War disrupted food and energy systems. Grain, fuel, and basic resources—Taurus domains—were thrown into instability. Ukraine is as a nation represented by Taurus with its fields of Grain, its abundant resources and its beautiful people. Uranus as a planet brings war to the areas of the zodiac it occupies. At the same time, legal decisions around reproductive rights brought the question of bodily autonomy into direct confrontation with the state. The question became unavoidable: who controls the body? The struggle of reproductive rights rose into the public consciousness again as America reverted into a divided political opinion.
The initial foray into monetary policy of low interest rates and a cash influx free of labor, caused Inflation to rise. Interest rates responded by rising, Currency responded by becoming weakened. Trust in systems of monetary value, a Taurus theme, began to erode. This created opportunity for financial spinsters launch thousands of new tokens of no value, not backed by tangible Taurus Earth assets, spiking in prices and then crashing into mere worthless bytes of information. They continue to come and go unregulated.
In the years that followed, this pattern this pattern continued.
Uranus in Taurus has spurred conversations about alternative currencies. Labor the bread and butter of the Taurus ox has begun to shift under the influence of emerging AI and Robotic technologies. The value of human work and productivity, long assumed, has begun to change with the emergence of AI. What is valuable about being a human when a machine is more efficient at producing and thinking? Financial disruption will continue now that the gates have been opened to the non-essential nature of human productivity. What is of value about being human is of necessity changing into the creative imagination of the human, this has been reflected by the predominance of online Substack and YouTube creative culture.
At the same time, the Earth has responded to our misuse of her sacred lands. Climate pressures have increased. Agricultural systems are strained every year by the turmoil in weather, inflation of food prices is not just a result of supply line disruption, but also of the disruption of the basic patterns of weather that have fed humanity for thousands of years. Food, land, and sustainability moved from background concerns to central ones. Throughout Uranus in Taurus, there has been a growing and essential pull toward localism, toward self-sufficiency, and the immediate relationship with what sustains life.
We have begun to recognize with greater clarity the autonomy of our bodies and sexual sovereignty, even while political controls continue to ignore the call of the sacred feminine to sit with equal footing in the Patriarchal halls of power, Uranus has delivers a revolution of consciousness in the area of the Zodiac Archetype it occupies, and it is not going to meekly walk back into the chains of a quiet society. The world soul has moved forward with its precise clock like mechanisms of movement as Uranus turned the wheel of Taurus, the sensual and feminine
One of the more palpable effects of Uranus transiting through Taurus over the last 8 years is that the concept of Money is no longer stable. The petro dollar has fallen. Oil and coal are no longer king, even as their bloodied fingers try with every last ounce of their strength to remain relevant.
The boundaries of Earth have been shooken up and danced upon by the laughing goddess, Uranas. They have become contested and just as they did when Uranus was in Taurus in the thirties, nation states struggle to assert their identity.
Uranus in Taurus redefined the material, financial, and sexual world we live in.
