The Sun conjuncts Uranus at 4:32 pm PDT on May 17, closing an old cycle of awakening and opening a new one. This Sun conjunct Uranus happens at 28 Taurus, bringing a new surge of individual-spiritual Light/Life wherever we have 28 Taurus impacting us for the next year.
Many of you will recall 28 Taurus was where Uranus went stationary retrograde in September 2024 and then went back to 24 Taurus where it went stationary direct in January of this year. That means we hit a threshold of spiritual awakening last Summer, and had to re-trace the lessons associated with that span of Taurus. That area of our charts has had various upheavals, unexpected awakenings, and generally revolutionary conditions for the last 6 years.
I gave you the Sabian symbol for 28 Taurus in the article written about last September’s retrograde station in Spiritual Astrology in September 2024 – Uranus Stationary Retrograde at 28 Taurus. As the Sun is now illuminating that degree for the next year, it seems that over the next year, we’ll see the Light powering up the themes of the preliminary “dress rehearsal” awakenings we’ve been going through since last Summer. This is “the Light of Uranus” as we will experience it each time the transits trigger 28 Taurus, with the Sun and Mercury doing it in May, and Venus bringing a pleasing expression of these themes in early July.
To remind you, themes of 28 Taurus involve forms of rejuvenation, regeneration, and renewal. It has brought us new perspectives, where our mature experience has brought us to a point of the renewal wherever we have 28 Taurus. This degree is one of our “capacity to rise in consciousness and feelings above biological limitations,” where we should open our mind “to the possibility of new rebeginnings.” The Uranus retrograde awakened new energies about what confirms us, our skills, and/or our life mission in a way suited to our individuality, and can do what we must to stabilize those skills that make our individual and spiritual existence more secure.
Since Uranus’ direct station in January, we’ve been in a period of allowing our expertise in “command and control” to show how we can manage our own and others’ energies, found enjoyment in Nature, defined our heart’s desire by what we have visualized we want to come forth, and offered our wisdom to our world in gentle and natural ways.
Remember we began a new long wave Uranian cycle when Jupiter conjuncted Uranus in April 2024 on a degree of the “white dove flying over troubled waters,” indicating we have made it through a crisis and now can receive the message from Spirit that our ordeal is over and we have a blessing for the future. All Taurus transits through the middle of the next decade will trigger these themes.
In any case, this Sun conjunct Uranus begins another year of “enlightened originality” or “enlightened genius” wherever we have 28 Taurus in our chart. The life renewals which began in the Summer of 2024 will now have power to take clearer enlightened shape over the next year. Trust your ability to revolutionize your life and mind through the awakenings to come. This can bring a greater freedom of action, new forms of self-expression, a heightening of mature appreciation, and our “soul’s effective capitalization on its more enduring potentials.”
