As discussed on the Lucky Mojo Hoodoo Rootwork Hour on May 0, 2018 with co-hostscatherine yronwode and ConjureMan Ali, announcer Papa Newt, and special guest WIlliam Stickevers, the path of Uranus through Taurus often brings about conditions of chaos.

Because a lot of this is going to fly by very quickly, i have prepared some data:

The Uranus Cycle

Uranus has an 84 year cycle. The halfway point occurs when you are 42 and is sometimes said to mark a "mid-life crisis." When Uranus returns to its natal position on your chart, you will be 84 years old.

Uranus: Sudden Changes

Uranus is a planet associated with sudden changes, or, when badly placed, with accidents. For instance, because Uranus has an 84 year cycle, it was commonplace when i was young for old-time astrologers to warn that "Eighty-four years old is a year to watch out for accidents. Be careful you son't fall and break your hip."

Uranus is also known as a planet that signals rapid technical advances, especially in electronics. It promotes high ideals, social cooperation, and the formation of alliances (both for good and for ill).

Taurus: The Earth and its riches

Taurus is a sign noted for its stability. On a global, impersonal scale, it is a fixed Earth sign allied to concepts such as husbanding of the natural wealth and resources of the land. It's natural metal is copper. It is associated with jewelry, precious gems, art as a commodity, and fine clothing.

It promotes cautious growth and fiscal responsibility, favouring property ownership over monetary or commodity speculation.

Taurus rules not only farming, but also the banking system, and capital financing.

Uranus enters Taurus: The Result

The unpredictable planet Uranus is incompatible with the ultra-fixed sign Taurus. In fact, Uranus is said to be in its "fall" or worst position possible, when in Taurus.

New, Uranian technological advances occur independently of the sign that Uranus occupies, but with Uranus in Taurus they are often wasted, as natural resources are exploited and even intentionally misused to make weapons of war and to promote other sudden rearrangements of land-ownership. Wars are always a feature of global history, but during the cycles of Uranus in Taurus, they take on a particularly nasty financial aspect, as people are stripped of property rights and may lose their previous connections to the land and thus to food sources.

Key thoughts for Uranus in Taurus

Negative Possibilities:

  • Financial upheavals: currency manipulation; interest rates will change;
  • Food supplies diminish: economic or actual warfare leads to bottlenecking of food supplies.
  • Land ownership in crisis: appropriation of public lands, possible incursions and invasions to control lands.

Positive Possibilities:

  • Banking technological revolution: cryptocurrency, online banking.
  • Innovative food solutions: community gardens, hydroponics
  • Land ownership changes: cooperative living

2018 - 2026, the Current Uranus in Taurus Cycle

Uranus moves forward, then goes retrograde, then forward again. Because Uranus is slow-moving, these retrogrades generally take the form of a little "wiggle-dance" as seen from Earth -- forward into a new sign, backward to finish out the previous sign, then forward again for a longer period of time in the new sign.

  • May 15, 2018 - Uranus enters Taurus. "The shot across the bows."
  • November 6, 2018 - Uranus Retrograde, back into Aries. "Clean-Up."
  • March 7, 2019 - Uranus Direct, Re-Enters Taurus. "The chaos begins."
  • July 7, 2025 - Uranus enters Gemini "The shot across the bows"
  • November 7, 2025 - Uranus Retrograde, back into Taurus. "Clean-Up."
  • April 23, 2026 - Uranus Direct, Re-Enters Gemini. "The chaos begins."

2018 - 2026 URANUS IN TAURUS

Removing the Uranian forward-and-backward "wiggle-dance" episodes, we are looking at THREE periods of time in which Uranus is in Taurus:

  • May 15, 2018 - November 6, 2018 - The warm-up and first pass
  • March 7, 2019 - July 7, 2025 - The long run of instability
  • November 7, 2025 - April 23, 2026 - The clean-up of loose ends

Uranus in Taurus in History

In order to estimate what a Uranus in Taurus cycle may bring us on a global scale (because we cannot work out the positions of Uranus in regard to every one of your own natal plantets on a show like this, we can look back to the previous two Uranus in Taurus cycles and see what was going on in the world.

Here are summaries of world events during the two previous times Uranus was in Taurus, for comparison with one another and as a guide to what we may expect this time:

1850 - 1859: URANUS IN TAURUS

The 1850 - 1859 cycle of Uranus in Taurus was marked by:the suppression of indigenous people by colonial powers, by the appropriation of wealth, mining, and property rights; and by wholesale extraction and destruction of natural resources.
