Uranus in Taurus May 2018 - The Advent of A New Era Pt. 1

by Robert Wilkinson

Uranus is now at the end of the end of Aries. Just after the New Moon at 25 Taurus, Uranus will enter Taurus, the sign it will inhabit until July 2025. So what should we expect?

The next few months features Uranus occupying the first three degrees of Taurus until November 2018, when it will retrograde back into late Aries. It will stay there until March 2019, when it will re-enter Taurus and pick up the Uranian issues and activities set into motion this Summer.

Uranus in Aries has shown us the promise of a new way of Being and acting in new directions these past 7 years, and Taurus stabilizes and anchors Aries energy in simple utilitarian concrete forms. Whenever Uranus changes signs, it brings forms of rebirth wherever we have that new sign in our birth charts. So we’re about to have a revolution and/or awakening in the sector where we have early Taurus, and certainly everyone who has planets in early Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius will experience some fairly radical changes over the next couple of years!

Uranus individualizes us according to the Higher Law of our Being. It shows us our creative uniqueness, and can bring forth radical changes that move us into new directions we've never known, or bring forth specialized manifestations of individualizing patterns we've accepted.

So what can we expect from Uranus in Taurus? While it certainly augurs the advent of a new 7-year era, as well as initiating the second stage in the new 84-year era we began in 2010, it's not the first time nor the last time it's been in the determined, calm, steady, and durable “let’s enjoy life for all it’s worth” sign of Taurus. We’ll discuss some past Uranus in Taurus epochs in a future article.

So though we can expect "revolutionary developments" over the next 7 years, these will be of an Taurus nature, , just as the "revolutionary developments" of 2010-2018 were of an Aries nature, and the "revolutionary developments" of 2003-2011 were of a Pisces nature, and the "revolutionary developments" of 1995-2003 were of an Aquarian nature. We're ALWAYS going through "revolutionary developments" on Earth, just of different natures affecting different parts of our reality.

Here I'll remind you that it often takes many months or even years for these to be evident. The "Sacred Seven" planets anchor the Divine quartet of Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and TransPluto in various forms according to their various cycles. That's why some of the Plutonic seeds planted in collective consciousness by Neptune and awakened in individual consciousness by Uranus may take a while before they can be seen in their true nature and broadest expression.

Taurus, the sign of the seed growing quickly from sprout to plant, absorbing life force and transmuting it through photosynthesis into the strength of the growing stalk, seeks to stabilize the life force of Aries by the natural force of steady growth. Taurus is definitely a calming and stabilizing influence, but also refuses all it cannot “own” and will dig in and fight without quarter those who would usurp its field of activity or power in that field.

Taurus is also a leadership type of energy, less impulsive and “do it alone” than Aries, intent on securing and stabilizing the initiatives set into motion by that sign. It tends the seeds in its field of activity, nurturing them and protecting them as they grow into large things that bear fruit in their own seasons. Aries spreads the 10,000 seeds that are being continually planted by Life itself, but doesn’t tend them. That’s the job of Taurus.

Please keep in mind that Uranus in Taurus will impact each of us differently, since we've each developed different ways of responding to natal, progressed, or transiting Taurus energy. Remember there are both "good" disruptions as well as "bad" ones. Often an abrupt creative turn to the new, even if a bit daunting, is better than staying where there is no more life electricity.

There's a lot being written about the very dramatic developments we should see coming fairly quickly from the entry of Uranus into Taurus. However, this is just one more step in the Eternal Dance of human evolution. As I pointed out earlier, there have been many such times in history!

While there will be periods these next 7 years (and beyond!) that seem very disruptive, there have always been such times. At some point a status quo must end, and anything that effects that revolution will be seen as disruptive.

As we move from the old era to the new, it will be helpful to remember that we are collectively birthing a new view of Life, Matter, Energy, Light, Magnetism, and Electricity. We've already made great strides since the end of the Kali Yuga over these past 300 years, and now are fully entering the Dwapara Yuga, said to be the Great Age of "Electromagnetic Remembrance."

As Uranus is "the Awakener," the Brahmanic Divine Force of the Law of Synthesis, we will see the emergence of the new Divine Seeds that were set when Pluto conjuncted the Galactic Center between 2006-2011. This is the emergent point in Cosmic Time, when new laws, new order, new structures, new governments, new disciplines, and a new sense of responsibility is coming upon the human race.

As we individually act, as we individually create, as we individually synthesize, a more efficient (and hopefully enjoyable and rewarding!) way of doing our Being will come forth. This is the time when many things that have seemed stable up to now will go through radical changes!

It may be that revolutionary new developments will occur in the world of money, commerce, resources, goods, and even the supply chains that distribute these to various areas of life. We could see disruptions in the money supply, the credit supply, the food supply, and much that we thought was previously stable. Still, it’s all teaching us to live free, adapt in the moment, keep our focus on the Eternal, and like the Fool in the Tarot, step off the precipice into a new individuality in the area Uranus is transiting in our chart.

Uranus is the Higher Law driving us toward individualization. The Seeker who danced on the edge of the threshold in the Summer of 2010 and has been on a new life adventure since then is now demanded to live a dynamic new phase of that adventure! A line from Lucille Clifton seems apropos here: "You might as well answer the door my child, the truth is furiously knocking!

In the next article, we'll explore some of the qualities and characteristics of Uranus in Taurus, and other important factors happening at this momentous point of shift in time!

Great post Robert! Your reminders that the ebbs and flows of revolutionary change is a normal process of our earth adventure evolution are so important. Its so easy to focus on the latest upheaval of the moment... like being stuck in a focus only on the plowed field... not realizing it is part of the process of the beautiful bounty to come... which needs the forward creative vision and work to see and manifest. Thanks for all that you are doing to help others find their creative vision in the midst of their plowed fields.

The last degree of uranus in aries. My beautiful wonderful best friend cat by the name of Grace caught some awful thing in her throat the night before the full moon and unexpectedly died on May 8th. I am a wreck and I know you have been through this she was my best friend and it's hard to go on.
