Almost exactly three years ago, the planet Uranus moved into the zodiac sign of Taurus. It is still there today, and at the beginning of the month it meets up with the Sun. Let's take a brief look at what we can actually expect from the Taurus period - i.e. the time when the Sun is in the zodiac sign of Taurus: Spring makes the world happy, meadows bloom everywhere and the leaves on the trees grow skywards. Everything that flies and crawls on this earth is obsessively searching for a you in order to multiply. Humans are not spared from this desire. In no other time are men and women so eager to meet and unite. In addition to making love, there is also a huge desire for life in general. Sitting in a beer garden or a café, eating and drinking well is as much a part of May as a Christmas tree is of December.
So, what does it look like today?
We are not allowed to show our faces in public places or in cozy beer gardens and cafés. Getting close to each other outside is strictly forbidden. One and a half meters distance and only with a mask! More and more encounters are taking place online. People used to be lonely when they were alone. Now they are lonely when they don't have a cell phone.
Is it Uranus in Taurus that doesn't allow us our wonderful habits that belong to Taurus?
As I said, Uranus has been in Taurus for three years. At least we can say that the spread of the internet, especially via apps such as Facebook, has increased enormously during this time. It is not difficult to recognize the work of the planet Uranus in the abolition of direct and immediate communication between people and its replacement by the internet. This star is an individualist. Gatherings of people are anathema to it, threatening its freedom and independence.
It is also a modern child of his, namely the home office. An open-plan office and Aquarius have nothing in common.
Are we currently experiencing the beginning of a new world?
Let's take a brief look at this planet Uranus. It was discovered in 1781 and was then in the zodiac sign of Gemini. The time of its discovery can be linked quite well with its modern significance, because that was when the United States of America gained its freedom. The Battle of Yorktown on October 19, 1781 was the decisive victory for America. The commander of the army and later first president was George Washington, a figure with whom a modern form of government is associated. The United States was not born until 1787, when the American Constitution came into force. It contains the essential principles of government that still apply in the USA today: The country is governed by a president who is elected every four years. He is supported by a Congress and the Supreme Court. This was also the birth of modern forms of government, as we also practice in Germany.
It is therefore easy to imagine that this all contributed to the fact that, firstly, the planet Uranus was assigned to the zodiac sign Aquarius and, secondly, freedom and independence were associated with it. The other planets that were known at the time could look back on thousands of years of history. This Uranus really does seem like a messenger of a new era. To say that Uranus got its special character from the fact that it became the ruler of the sign of Aquarius is not valid. After all, this sign Aquarius was occupied by Saturn before the discovery of Uranus. This Saturn in Aquarius was certainly more open than the one in Capricorn, but it is nevertheless more coherent to associate the discovery of Uranus with a revolution, a new understanding of the world.
The last time Uranus was in the zodiacal sign of Taurus was from 1934 to 1942. The reference to the Second World War is obvious. Some kind of repetition is certainly far-fetched. But the insanity that is running through the minds of our politicians today and the fact that many thousands of people have died may make us think.
In astrology, the zodiac sign Taurus also has a connection to money. There are quite a few astrologers who have long pointed out that this Uranus in Taurus indicates the loss of familiar values - and this naturally includes our money first and foremost.
As mentioned, the Sun and Uranus will conjoin at the beginning of May. Will our currency react to this? Is the radical downturn of the Bitcoin currency a first indication?
I think the position of Saturn in Aquarius is an indication that the changes must also be right and have weight. This is reassuring, a currency reform or even a revolution is not to be expected.
Perhaps we should not take the signs of the times as a reaction to a disastrous wave of epidemics. Perhaps it is fundamentally about withdrawing more from the outside world and instead approaching the area that cannot be affected by any corona measure, no matter how sophisticated. I mean our consciousness. If we go there, like a high tower that looks out over everything, everything becomes easier.
Well, I also know that our stay in this tower is only ever temporary because we are not enlightened superhumans. But every now and then, the view from outside and above really does us good. After all, what other choice do we have?
With this in mind: stay cheerful!
Mercury moves into the zodiac sign of Gemini on May 4 and stays here for the whole month. Venus follows suit and enters Gemini on May 9. This could make things better for us from May 10, because Venus and Mercury in the zodiac sign of Gemini are representatives of an easy lifestyle.
Mars moves through the zodiac sign of Cancer and stays here for the whole month. Of course, this puts into perspective what was said before. The lightness of Venus and Mercury in Gemini then seems rather artificial and artificial because Mars addresses deeper layers and wants to bring them to light.
Jupiter is in Aquarius until the middle of the month and then moves into Pisces. Its stay in this sign is short. It returns to the sign of Aquarius as early as July. Nevertheless, I am hoping for a deeper understanding of everything that is happening in this world at the moment.
The other planets, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto, have already been mentioned and will not change their position either
New moon is on May 11, full moon on May 26
It should also be mentioned that a battle between Uranus in Taurus and Saturn in Aquarius continues to rage: so the battle between those who fear the effects of the corona pandemic and those who think there is nothing to fear will continue throughout the month of May.
