Uranus Direct in Taurus 2022
Uranus, the disruptor planet, stationed direct on January 18, 2022 at 10º Taurus. It retrograded at 14º Taurus on August 19, 2021. Uranus has been transiting Taurus since March 2019 and is nearly halfway done its seven year transit through this sign.
WHAT DOES URANUS REPRESENT?
Uranus catalyzes sudden change in a revolutionary way. It overthrows authority by rebelling against the status quo. The friction and quantum energy of Uranus breaks through boundaries and solves the unsolvable. It can bring unexpected awakenings, unpredictable chaos, anarchy, and liberation. This planet represents new technology, radical ideas, innovation, electricity, the internet, minorities, outcasts, eccentrics, the nervous system, and the brain. Uranus signifies unmanageable originality, authenticity, and brilliance.
URANUS IN TAURUS
Taurus is a feminine fixed earth sign and appreciates stability so it is uncomfortable and tense with Uranus here. The most obvious Taurean subjects are the physical body, money, art, and food. Think about the feeling you get when people talk about topics like a woman’s right to her own body (physical autonomy), cryptocurrency (monetary exchange), NFTs (digital art), or even fake meat (alternative food) options at the drive-thru. Those are just some Uranus in Taurus topics that get a lot of hesitation and resistance at first because of how non-traditional they are. In this sign, Uranus is creating progression around Taurean subjects by bursting through a wall like the Kool-Aid man.
Some other Taurean things that may become unrecognizable by the end of this Uranus transit are things like beauty practices, grooming and hygiene, the way we nourish ourselves, the way we obtain security and contentment, and our ideas about what things are worth, and what is valuable. This will also likely include major innovations around farming and gardening and our overall relationship to the land will not be the same.
NORTH NODE IN TAURUS
The lunar nodes have recently moved onto the Taurus/Scorpio axis, which means there will be a number of eclipses there over the next 18 months. This axis represents physical and emotional security as well as trust and intimacy. The North Node and Uranus together in Taurus will bring these related topics front and center and accelerate the progression.
POST-SHADOW PERIOD
From now until May 2022, Uranus will make a third pass over 10º-14º Taurus and we may see a conclusion to certain events that happened between May and August 2021. Uranus will begin its next five-month retrograde period again on August 24, 2022.
