On January 26/27, Uranus turns stationary direct at 20 Taurus, showing major sea changes happening right now! This is the platform of our experiencing very high states of consciousness as we begin to confirm some things on the social and spiritual levels of life.
I'll be composing more about the major changes of the larger spiritual field in the future, since as Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and TransPluto move, so moves the greater Transpersonal Field within which we live and breathe and have our Being. The outer planets show us the larger transformational forces within which we demonstrate our Higher Self as we stand individually and collectively at the threshold of a new era.
Uranus going direct is important since whenever an outer invisible goes retrograde or direct, it's a sea change in the collective consciousness. This larger shift begins 11:35 pm PST on January 26, and now Uranus again begins to retrace its steps over ground it's now covering for a third time.
Here's where the Transpersonal Individualizer again moves forward, also moving collective consciousness with it. The 20th degree of Taurus is now again irrevocably burned as a hot spot that will be triggered any time there's a transit to that point.
Past, Present, and Future Awakenings In the Spiritual Field
We first experienced the themes of 20 Taurus when Uranus made its first pass over this degree in May 2023, introducing us to themes related to “lightness and breadth of being and understanding,” and “mystical and ecstatic self-expansion.” This sets the platform for what Uranus will awaken for all of us in 2024.
Uranus now resumes its forward trek, moving through its shadow zone span from 20-24 Taurus yet again, but with the advantage that we first awakened to the promise of the span between May and August 2023 which we’ve now re-traced between August 2023 and now. So we’re about to see what inhibitions we have “conquered” so that we may move into a new life.
The lessons of the entire span between 20 and 24 Taurus will open new opportunities and new possibilities of expansion when Jupiter transits that span in April. These potential futures will find new expression in May when the Sun, Venus, and Mercury all transit that span, forming conjunctions with Uranus at 24/25 Taurus. These prime the pump for new initiatives emerging when Mars transits this span during the first half of July and conjuncts Uranus at 27 Taurus in mid-July.
In months to come, Uranus will make its third pass of 20-24 Taurus, after which it enters unknown zones of 25 through 28 Taurus, where it goes stationary retrograde on September 1. Uranus will occupy 20 Taurus through March 13, 21 Taurus from March 13 to April 5, and 22 Taurus from April 5 to April 24. So mid-March through late April puts the focus on the emotional-social themes related to taking a new look at what we think is culturally valid or relevant in our lives and what matters to us in our society and culture, leading us to “the dove flying over troubled waters” promising a new life to come after May.
Uranus continues its time in the social-emotional level of Confirmation when it transits 23 Taurus from April 24 to May 11, and then reoccupies its stationary RX degree at 24 Taurus from May 11 to May 29. These should bring rewards confirming our worth wherever we have 23 and 24 Taurus in our charts, with a need to see how we have awakened to new ways of managing energy since the Summer of 2023.
In June, July, and August Uranus will awaken the themes of 25 through 28 Taurus which deal with the end of the emotional-social level and the heart of the individual-spiritual level of “confirmation” where we will awaken to further developments in actions which will confirm our spiritual growth. June encourages us to enjoy ourselves while defining role, function and imagery precisely so that “the beloved” can make its appearance on the “balcony of life and mind.” July and August show a need to be peaceful in offering our wisdom to others as we approach the threshold of a “genuine rejuvenation” and life renewal.
Uranus then goes SRX at 28 Taurus on September 1, beginning a “Uranian review” of all the themes between 28 and 24 Taurus through January 2025, when it goes stationary direct on the degree of “A mounted Indian with scalp locks, which will be the next platform for Uranian expansion in 2025. For now, we get a “lightness of Being” we can use to take on the challenges of 2025.
The Sabian Symbol for Uranus' Station
The Sabian symbol for the 20th degree of Taurus is “Wind clouds and haste.” In the original notes from the Marc Jones class on the symbols published in The Astrology of Personality, Rudhyar says this degree is one of “Exalted state of consciousness; lightness and breadth of being and understanding,” and “mystical and ecstatic self-expansion.”
In The Astrological Mandala, he says this degree involves "the awareness of spiritual forces at work.” He states this degree shows us that “any emergence of life potentialities from the depth of the vast Unconscious is answered by the spiritual activity of superconscious forces” that represent “the ‘Signature’ of divine Powers confirming (our) progress.”
He continues that the “winglike clouds” may also symbolize the presence of angels and devas “blessing and subtly revealing the direction to take, the direction of ‘the wind’ of destiny.” He finishes with this concluding a process where we should find ourselves “more securely established in (our) own original nature, receiving the blessings of super-natural forces.” He says it falls in the span of Enjoyment, and it’s the final degree of the actional level of the scene of Confirmation in the Act of Differentiation.
According to Dr. Jones, creator of the Sabian Symbols, the degree is one of “the transiency which characterizes life,” and “the instability which results from the disinclination of most people” to give of themselves due to ego limitations that cling to “superficial excitement.” He offers that “there is a real spiritual lightness here as an outer mark of the soul’s fundamental freedom.”
He offers us the keyword of EXALTATION. He states that when operating in a positive manner, this degree is “efficiency in controlling events at any point of transition or crisis.”
From this symbol we see the theme of this Uranus threshold state and current launch point involves enjoying a lightness of Being and a freedom to embrace higher states of consciousness. We now get a 5 month review where we can demonstrate what was awakened last year and move forward into a new life. This is an awakening to relevance, a new chapter and a new future, rewards and opportunities to show our expertise in managing others’ skills.
Where We Stand and What’s Coming
We can now again resume moving forward, expressing unique forms of synthesized spiritual creativity wherever we have 20 Taurus in our charts. This begins our pure Taurus awakening in its third decan, ruled by a double dose of Saturn in sectors involving the emotion-social and individual, mental, and spiritual levels of experience.
Now that Uranus is again "on the move," it renews its powerful pull on the tides of evolution and moves into its conjunction with Jupiter through early May. That conjunction in late April at 23 Taurus will dominate as an important theme through 2037/38 at their next conjunction in late Cancer. After that, Uranus begins to approach its sextile with Neptune and trine to Pluto which will be THE major spiritual field energy in 2025-2026.
While the Uranus septile Neptune powerful “destiny shaping” septile with Neptune has made a brief reappearance during late 2023 and beginning of 2024, it will soon give way to a forming sextile. Still, late 2023 and early 2024 have brought dramatic upheavals and major movements in the world thanks to this nonrational “destiny producing” aspect associated with the long wave transpersonal shifts in people and nations. The coming years will substantiate awakened Divine Power both in individuals and collectivities in creative and original forms, so get ready, since we're all on a journey of transition between the outer spiritual planets in Earth and Water signs and their entry into the Fire and Air signs.
The virtue of Taurus is in its calm strength of purpose, and ability to get the job done in a slow, steady, reliable way. The revolution in human values and ways of regarding matter proceeds, with the current Aquarian pulse fulfilling that Earth energy in a greater idealism and sense of connection. By the harvests of Jupiter and Saturn over the next few years, we’ll see how we’ve made our individuality clear, both to ourselves and our world.
