NEW MOON IN TAURUS: SURPRISES & SHIFTS - CARMEN DI LUCCIO - MAY 14, 2018
We are having a New Moon in Taurus on tomorrow and this particular one has extra significance because the planet Uranus will also be entering Taurus less than four hours later. Uranus is an outer planet and therefore it does not change signs as frequently as the planets that orbit closer to the Sun. The last time Uranus changed signs was in 2010-2011.
Taurus season began on April 19th/20th, however New Moons can amp up the way we work with the energies of that sign, in some cases in a new way. With Uranus also going in there at the same time, it really emphasizes this but will also have a long term effect. Taurus is about values, worth, the material world, senses, money, food/substances, security, beauty, and nature. As an Earth sign, it is physical, practical, and realistic. Taurus is thorough and also likes stability and routine. It is sort like a rock; slow, grounded, and solid.
Uranus will begin to influence things associated with Taurus. It is revolutionary, technological, innovative, renovative, futuristic, scientific, unconventional, metaphysical, surprising, awakening, liberating, and insightful. It can also be rebellious, disruptive, and can trigger separations. It rules sudden unexpected events, accidents, and natural disasters. Uranus being an unstable planet can potentially disrupt, yet revolutionize, things associated with the stability craving sign of Taurus.
The volcanic eruption in Hawaii is a clear manifestation of Uranus transitioning signs. It began with Uranus at the end Aries which is a Fire sign. Lava is a combined Aries/Taurus energy because it is fiery rock. After the lava cools off it actually solidifies into hard rock which is more Taurean. The last time Uranus changed signs was when the Fukushima incident happened. The Earthquake in the ocean initiated when Uranus was in the last hours of Pisces which rules oceans. The Tsunami itself was a combined Aries/Pisces energy as Aries has a ‘charging forward’ vibe. The explosions at the nuclear power plant were a ‘Fire’ manifestation which occurred just after it entered Aries.
