On May 15, 2018 Uranus will move from the sign of Aries into the sign of Taurus. This transit lasts about seven years. Uranus is one of the outer, slower moving planets. Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto move slower and spend over one year in each sign during a typical transit. The inner planets move faster, Venus, Mercury, Mars. So when an outer planet is involved, the transit will not only last longer, but the effects can be more profound.
Uranus is the planet of surprise and revolution and freedom. It rules Aquarius. Taurus is an earth sign ruled by Venus. Libra is also ruled by Venus, but Venus in Libra is more of the romantic-love aspect. In Taurus, she’s about luxury and money. And to some degree, love. Some people would argue that love and money go hand-in-hand as well. It always depends on your specific birth chart when it comes down to determining exactly how a particular transit is going to affect you. What house you may have Taurus in, what sign you are, on and on. But even in a mundane way, this transit is going to affect all of us somehow. And it may very well involve money and our relationship to money. And to luxury. They are intertwined in that aspect.
We could also see a global shift when it comes to money and the economy. This doesn’t have to be bad. It’s just a shift. Things can’t remain the same all the time or else there would be no growth.
On this same day, May 15, 2018, there’s going to be a new moon in Taurus. There’s always a lot of energy with full and new moons. But when you add a planet transiting a sign on that day, there’s more power behind the punch. I think all transits should be welcomed, not feared. If there’s one thing we can always count on, it’s change. What is good won’t be good forever. And what is bad won’t be bad forever. But it’s the change and the shift that demand our attention and oftentimes our growth and evolution. And if part of the reason why we’re all here is to grow and evolve, this can’t be a bad thing.
Be open to what calls you…
