The Sun In Taurus
When the Sun moves into Taurus, we should all be ready to power our way to pleasure!
The Taurus Sun invites us to slow down and to stabilize, and reveals how we can channel the practical power of the Earth element into our everyday lives.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love, which surrounds us with beauty, abundance, and sensuality. As the Taurus Sun shines at the height of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, we’re all encouraged to delight in earthly pleasures. Our senses are awakened, and we fall in love with things that are enjoyable to look at, to touch, and to taste.
Things get a lot more lovely, lazy, and comfortable when the Sun enters pleasure-seeking Taurus, so delight your senses. The Sun in Taurus is a time to enjoy the best things in life. Lounge in bed, indulge in delicious food and drink, and breathe in the beauty of nature on a hike. This is the time to feel truly alive! Nature-loving Taurus is most at home when surrounded by scenic wonders. Think rolling hills, fresh grass, blooming flowers, and lush forests. Plan a camping trip, go for a hike, or rent a cabin in a scenic setting while the Taurus Sun shines.
Taurus is known for never giving up, and that’s a good thing, unless you’re wrong. Be aware of being stubborn or having angry outbursts while the Sun is in Taurus. Make an extra effort to be more flexible now.
Surround yourself with beauty and physical comforts like a true Taurus always does, and you’ll enjoy this beautiful opportunity to nurture your soul.
Venus In Taurus
When this loving planet enters the earthy sign of Taurus, we are reminded of just how beautiful this world can be. Venus’s presence in this patient zodiac sign signals a time of simplifying complexities, getting down to fundamentals, and rebuilding relationships from the ground up. This is an ideal time to bring love and money issues out into the open so they can be dealt with directly and easily.
Dating is delightful when Venus is in Taurus! It encourages us to slow down, live in the moment, and find ways to enjoy the company of someone special. Maybe you and your sweetheart will cuddle up and watch a great movie, open a good bottle of wine, or feast on something delicious. This is the time when you’ll both be in the mood to indulge your senses.
Taurus is a security-oriented sign that seeks stability over torrid passion. That means when this planet and sign get together, we’re more drawn to commitment than quick affairs or casual dating. If you want a relationship, or if you’ve had your eye on someone for a while, this could be the time when you two decide to take things to the next level.
There’s a possibility that our partnerships could get bogged down by the infamous stubbornness Taurus is known for when Venus is in Taurus. This is one drawback of this cosmic coupling that everyone should be mindful of. If you’re in a relationship, or on track toward commitment, this might be a time when it’s more difficult for the two of you to move forward as a couple. Compromise can be difficult when you’re dealing with the Bull! If you’re single, this is a time when you’ll feel some internal resistance to opening yourself up and letting in someone new. Remember: A little bit of flexibility can go a long way.
Jupiter In Taurus
Jupiter is the planet of wisdom that encourages deep thought, and Taurus is the zodiac’s most inert sign. When these two come together, it reminds us that the answers we seek are with us all the time. Spirituality is not something outside of us that we should aspire to; it is always present but easily lost in the buzz of daily life. With this transit, we are given an opportunity to push past the distractions and tap into the innate wisdom that’s been sitting dormant within each of us.
Jupiter in Taurus is a chance to make real movement towards a dream or long-term goal. We’ll be energized to make practical, planned to-do lists and start checking off items one by one until we get the end result we’ve been working towards. During this time, we have Jupiter’s desire for growth and Taurus’ patient and headstrong demeanor encouraging us to trust the process and reach a clear, tangible level of success.
Life can be highly prosperous when Jupiter is in Taurus. Jupiter is the planet of good luck and fortune, while Taurus is the sign of wealth and money. At its best, this cosmic energy can yield big dollar results. The Jupiter in Taurus transit is a good time to look into our financial standings and find chances for growth.
Taurus is a deeply hedonistic sign that enjoys the finer things and rarely tells itself "no." When the planet of expansion comes into contact with a sign that is known to overindulge, we may find ourselves considering our needs as wants. It’s our responsibility to be patient and careful about our impulses during this transit.
Uranus In Taurus
Taurus is a sign that likes things steady and stable, and isn’t the best at handling big, sudden changes. But big, sudden changes are what Uranus is all about! Taurus would prefer to stick to the status quo and keep doing things the way they’ve always been done. The problem is, the old ways aren’t always the best ways. Even if we are resistant to the changes Uranus in Taurus brings, we have no choice but to go along for the ride, and, chances are, we’ll realize in the end that these changes brought us to a much better place.
Money is Taurus’ main area of expertise, so while Uranus is in Taurus, we can expect some very revolutionary ways of handling and dealing with money, both nationwide and worldwide. During the seven years Uranus will spend in Taurus, brand-new forms of currency may arise, banks and banking could come to a halt or change dramatically, and the housing and stock markets may be in for a major shake-up.
On a more personal level, Uranus in Taurus encourages us to break free from the grips of money: debt, taxes, credit card interest, rent, and mortgages are all things that can prevent us from saving money or using it the way we want to. We may also feel trapped by our material possessions in general. During this transit, we must be ready and willing to change our relationship to money and materialism.We no longer have a choice. Uranus is here to liberate us, and digging in our heels and resisting won’t make things any easier, and won’t stop these changes from happening. The changes we make during this period can actually help bring us to a point of greater stability, and can be very long-lasting.
The Zodiac
"As Above, So Below" is only the beginning...
This is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth:
As below, so above; and as above so below. With this knowledge alone you may work miracles.
And since all things exist in and emanate from the One Who is the ultimate Cause, so all things are born after their kind from this One.
The Sun is the father, the Moon the mother;
the wind carried it in his belly. Earth is its nurse and its guardian.
It is the Father of all things,
the eternal Will is contained in it.
Here, on earth, its strength, its power remain one and undivided.
Earth must be separated from fire, the subtle from the dense, gently with unremitting care.
It arises from the earth and descends from heaven; it gathers to itself the strength of things above and things below.
By means of this one thing all the glory of the world shall be yours and all obscurity flee from you.
It is power, strong with the strength of all power, for it will penetrate all mysteries and dispel all ignorance.
By it the world was created.
From it are born manifold wonders, the means to achieving which are here given
It is for this reason that I am called Hermes Trismegistus; for I possess the three essentials of the philosophy of the universe.
This is the sum total of the work of the Sun.
Sadoul, Jacques. Alchemists and Gold. Spearman, 1972. Fulcanelli interpretation of The Emerald Tablet, p. 25,26:
The Zodiac & The Superposition Principle
What, beyond the poetry does this have to do with astrology? The Three Essentials Hermes Trismegistus was referring to are alchemy, theurgy, and astrology, though you'll note, this "power" he's referring to there doesn't exist as a one way path, nor does it "originate" in any one place between the cosmos and down here on earth: it is in fact, above, below, within and without. As opposed to an abdication of personal power to some far flung deity or planet, this is an avid endorsement of owning it.
The zodiac, by definition is not just your Sun sign. In fact, it is simply defined as being: "a belt of the heavens within about 8° either side of the ecliptic, including all apparent positions of the sun, moon, and most familiar planets. It is divided into twelve equal divisions or signs (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces)"
While there is a common misconception that the dates listed on your horoscope would be where the Sun moves through each one of the corresponding constellations, that's not really the case. This is because astronomy and astrology are a bit like a pair of sisters that look very similar but are not. Your "sign" is actually something that was defined roughly 2000 years ago by someone who was working with solstices and equinoxes, that is, the changing of the seasons, for the most part. Since then, the very slow movement of the Earth's axis changed those points, shifting them around 30° West, relative to the constellations.
Having said all of that, don't ask us about your sign changing, and Ophiuchus is a constellation, not a sign. We'll entertain quite a lot, but we're not quite edgy enough for that one. This is also not a particularly new rumor, but one that often makes the rounds even though by this logic: 88 actual constellations provides a hell of a lot of wiggle room.
Interesting sidenote, another translation of The Emerald Tablet comes from Isaac Newton,whose Three Laws of Motion would later be used to prove Bernoulli and later Fourier's wave equation in respect to The Superposition Principle. However, you can't deduce it from those three laws. It's complicated. The zodiac is not, just be sure your vibrations are proper.
