What to expect with Uranus in Taurus
(Uranus stays in Taurus until April, 2026, so it may take some time for these to happen.)
This is from my lecture on October 12, 2018 at the Astrological Society of Kentucky.
Uranus entered the sign of Taurus on March 16, 2018 and stays until April 26, 2026. Uranus is the planet of change, it brings about the unexpected, the unplanned for events. Sudden and sometimes with “fury”, changes are all but impossible to avoid.
Lets look at Uranus: Uranus was discovered in 1781 by astronomer William Herschel. It takes 84 years to travel through the Zodiac and approximately 7 years to travel in one sign. It’s orbit is irregular and so is it’s actions, representing the unpredictable and erratic, and the bizarre. The weird. When Uranus was discovered the United States and France were in the mist of revolutions. Because Uranus is one of the slower moving planets, it’s impact can be felt over a period of time. Uranus never fails to surprise.
Taurus is completely different: Taurus is signified by the Bull and be stubborn and immovable. Taurus resist change and want security and stability at all costs. Taurus prefers to stick with the status quo and to keep doing things exactly how they have always been done. Finances is one of Taurus main expertise, the handling and dealing with money. Taurus rules things we value, the finer things in life.
