Sun in Taurus -April 19 to May 19, 2022



    The Sun ingresses Taurus. Happy Birthday my Taurus friends and clients! Beware of surprises though! For all of us it means that we become better attuned with Nature, more stable but not without one or two shocks.  Normally, Taurus is steady and able to enjoy the small pleasures of life, like a good table, some sweets, and other activities using the senses. Homemade food is a delight to your palate. Listening to music a delight your ears. Find your favorite and enjoy! The quiet may not last too long.
We are already in the Taurus Scorpio Eclipse Season and by the end of the month the solar eclipse conjoins Uranus. This could bring a shake! Stay tuned and read about this eclipse here.
    The Sun at 0º Taurus squares the 0º Aquarius where Jupiter and Saturn conjoined on December 21, 2020. Every time a planet aspects this point in the sky some unconscious memory, as it were, comes out to show us the way onto the new Air Era that the sky chronocrators set up in motion. Just observe the world and your personal life, take note, and remember. Some time in the future those memories of the world to come will be significant.
    The Sun journey in Taurus is full of bumps. After the Solar Eclipse, he joins Uranus on May 5. You want to be different, do something unexpectedly. Find some time for relaxation, you’ll need it before the Sun conjoins Uranus. Moon conjunct Uranus first, just a few hours after the eclipse. The Sun a few days later. This means that our conscious and unconscious self are united to initiate innovation. People everywhere in the world are asking themselves and others, how do we need to change our way of producing food in order to ensure that we eat tomorrow. Uranus work is to fracture our stability and the Taurus inertia in order for us to understand that the economic activity as we know it is no longer working for our benefit. This 'fracture' transforms our values and desires, which translates in us changing our consumerism habits. Our eating and buying habits are changing drastically in response to this fracture.
    In the same way Uranus in Taurus accompanied the Great Depression between 1934 and 1941, he is drying out the climate, the land, the air. Strong wind carrying dust and sand will probably have damaging effects over different regions of the earth. Agriculture will be affected by drought and some fertile lands become deserts.

    However, Uranus works also like the strike of a thunderbolt in our intellect. People will come up with genius seeds of ideas in order to face the losses, the scarcity and the economic contraction. A higher level of consciousness will help us expand our awareness of reality, make radical transformations in our daily lives, operate sudden changes and adopt innovative methods of food production.

    Uranus rules Aquarius where Saturn is transiting, showing us that we need to restructure our social behavior. One way Saturn imposed restriction was social separation, but we can expect that other social restructuring is here to stay. More than ever before, people realize how important is the exchange of ideas, and finding your own like-minded group to pool together, unite the creative variety in order to build something new. The creation of the new paradigm is up to our collective collaboration and cooperative undertakings for the benefit of the local community.

    Soon after on May 7, Sun sextile Mars, and you're ready to take the opportunity to do it. One week later, the Sun joins the North Node. You receive a boost of energy and others congratulate you and admire you for what you have done. 
    However, by the middle of the day on May 15, the Sun is not so happy in square with Saturn.  Some serious situation blocks your project, and you need to stop and consider the long term repercussions of your ambition. You may also feel frustrated. You want to enjoy life, but are tied by restrictions, responsibilities, hard work, or a rigid and pessimistic attitude. Your self-expression takes a back seat, and most probably don’t even feel like having fun. You need to take responsibility for something, and rather work than watch TV. Be careful with harsh or rigid attitudes towards others. That would mostly happen because you really feel drained out of your vitality, tired, maybe somewhat pessimistic. If someone around you ignore this heavy attitude of yours, you may accuse that person of being selfish or childish. Remember that Saturn didn’t like childish behavior, in fact, he just ate his children to avoid having to deal with them!  (I hope at least you smiled at that) I’m sure you won’t want to eat your children, but you will discipline them more than you normally do.
If all that were not enough, right before leaving Taurus on May 19, the Sun trine the Mighty of the zodiac, Pluto. Pluto has been stationary, and turned retrograde on April 29, which means that he is digging deep in the 29th degree of Capricorn, and will do it until the end of June. This Sun Pluto trine will certainly not pass unnoticed. Authority figures might strengthen their power, possibly through manipulation or obscure dealings. On the bright side, it could be your opportunity for empowerment, or to build the necessary fortitude to succeed in some challenging task or endeavor. 
Use the Taurus season consciously and you could greatly benefit from these transits.

Taurus Solar Eclipse on the North Node

Venus leading Taurus from Pisces

     Last time there was a Taurus Solar Eclipse with the North Node in Taurus was in May 1985! 37 years ago. This means that two complete Nodal cycles (18.5 years) have passed until now. I found that significant considering the all the 'beginnings' were in Scorpio, a Sign of secrets, undercurrents, debt, investments, manipulations, codependence, hidden financial speculations, but also crime. Starting the Moon cycle in Taurus aim to self-empowerment, and autonomy. Also Taurus North Node calls to use your own energy, money and influence to promote your independence and that of others. For more on this Nodal Axis, read this article in my blog

    To find a Solar Eclipse on the Taurus North Node, you have to go back to these dates: May 19, 1985 at 28º49'; May 9, 1967 at 18º16'; May 20, 1966 at 28º55'; May 9, 1948 at 18º 30'; April 28, 1930 at 7º42'; or May 9, 1929 at 18º9'. If you were alive back then, go back Memory Lane to remember what happened then. This eclipse may bring similar issues. 

    A Solar Eclipse on the North Node is already a New Moon on steroids, or better yet on caffeine! If you add its conjunction to Uranus, this eclipse could be an explosion in the Zodiac house where it happens. This brings a great opportunity to break with the status quo in that area of experience. 

    On the North Node, the Solar Eclipse attracts, activates, brings unexpected circumstances or events that you won't always consider positive. Misconceptions abound about the North Node bringing good things, while it only means that it is an attractor. Even though it is the direction the collective is taking, it's unfamiliar territory, new additions, fresh endeavors, inexperienced works. 



    The chart has basically dominant Fixed Earth energy, meaning that it is hard to move, and there maybe some breaks in order to get what is coming. And with Uranus, breaks are guaranteed! Uranus is not a soft or consistent kind of influence, on the contrary, brings sudden liberation, original creativity, eccentric ideas, and emotional surprises. Usually Uranus breaks with the norms of how things are 'supposed' to be. 

    However, let's not overlook this hidden and subtle detail. Saturn is Contra-parallel both Sun and Moon, which means 'opposition'. So, there will be struggles, blocks, delays and difficulties getting what you are about to receive. Of course, at the same time, Saturn Contra-parallel Uranus, activating the long standing clash (last quarter square) that we felt all 2021, and will have the next 'chapter' around October 2022. 

    The ruler of the Eclipse is Venus in Pisces in conjunction with Jupiter and in close company of Neptune. Venus is considered doubly exalted, both in the degree and Sign of her exaltation. She may introduce otherworldly Venusian elements, like financial circumstances never seen before, or unheard of kinds of relationships and alliances. As she is the Goddess of social activity as well, you can expect odd and yet colorful ways to relate to others. If any of these fall in your fifth or seventh house, it may mean meeting some amazing person out of a movie or a spaceship. 

    Yet, Venus occupies the midpoint between Pluto and the previous Taurus eclipse we had last year at the end of the Sign. The present eclipse then can be the catalyst for the transformation started then. Venus sextile Pluto gives you a new understanding about how to change habits especially related to relationships and social life. It is also a good aspect to get great ideas about business, finances, or to create an artistic enterprise. There is also potential for good intense sex with your partner with great (Jupiter) enjoyment and unbelievable bliss (Neptune). 

    Last but not least, Mars sextile the Solar Eclipse contributes the courage, initiative and impulse necessary to do something, or to get what it's offered and you are ready to receive.

    Overall, it may be a time of a great surprise that will leave you in wonderment or stupefaction, but after the last two years, aren't we all ready for something new and good? Do you have a planet or point between 8 and 12 degrees of the fixed Signs, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius? Then your chart will vibrate and twinkle like a Christmas tree with this Solar Eclipse. It's a good time to order a reading with your favorite Astrologer! 

Sat Nam.
