Make your own forecast! =>AQUARIUS (Sky & Space energy-resonance / new media-Net-information-communications / New Age & Science, high-tech, electricity / power of Mind-Ideas-Ideals / Evolution, creation / Equality, Fraternity, Liberty, Humanity / Uranus, Aquarius' ruler => energy which is sudden, progressive, accelerated, eruptive, unexpected, volatile, awakening ...)
Uranus and Neptune (both outer planets ruling collective movements) are currently in Aquarius.SQUARE (conflicts with, produces tension / challenges / disrupts usual flow / demands a turn, a decision / energizes / urges / gives a kick in the ass ... etc)
TAURUS (the Feminine / Earth, nature, body, ecology / values, self-esteem, resources, finances / the material, weight, consolidation, attraction, prosperity / art, beauty, love, pleasure, comfort / appreciation of the moment, simplicity, inner peace / Heart Center ...
some ideas...
** Uranus square Jupiter-Saturn:
In the circle of clients, friends, family:
Have noticed an unusual amount of Surprises, new, different or inhabitual stuff happening, sudden changes, etc. ~from the smallest everyday events (sudden change of plans, unexpected visitors, no-shows, substitute teachers, surprising gifts, funny deliverys, etc) to more noticable, unpredictable changes, sudden gains & losses, important spur-of-the-moment purchases, unexpected trips being won, etc.
So far, these have been mostly agreeable surprises, mixed with a certain degree of heaviness, or feeling of a "load"...and-or these pleasant surprises interfere with our usual routine and habits, challenging us to adapt to the unexpected.
**Aquarius will refine, lighten & challenge the more material & habitual Taurus energy / the outer dimension info that Aquarius is able to pick up can be integrated on Earth, into our daily lives /
Aquarius is stimulating Taurus; ex: awakening the more subtle laws of manifestation / At the same time, Taurus asks Aquarius to incarnate and concretize its Ideals & high-level currents =>Notable, concrete acceleration at all levels...surges, intensification of energy fields, etc. (for better & for worse...) Taurus also demands that Aquarius take human needs and flaws into consideration.** Saturn (in Taurus) square Uranus (in Aquarius) indicates times of economic crisis, major natural & social upheavals; periods of great invention, liberation, revolt.
** industrialized, electric, computer society interfering-disrupting Earth, Mother Nature, bio-organisms =>decision-time...
**the New Gold Rush
(computer, Net, media, high-tech, etc.) -- look at the market! Uranus lends Volatility...**Unusual or unexpected means of attracting prosperity / prosperity coming in from left-field !
** "Matrix" symbolism / the cult film for 2000...
**Urgent call for progress & change challenging the Comfort Zone. It is evident that totally new levels and dimensions of reality are being revealed more and more to sincere seekers. This information coming in from "afar" certainly challenges our usual thought patterns, perception of the world and basic way of life & values. / Our Stellar ancestors are calling ...
**General opportunity to do a karmic working through. Can do an important cleansing, releasing, healing if we remain determined, focused & detached while working thru & tending to Taurus concerns.
Must work thru Aquarius shadow (the Absolute, utopian, ungrounded, over-acceleration, disincarnate...) and the Taurus shadow (habit, resistance, inertia, attachment, greed...)
Sounds like deep-rooted resistance is showing up~all the heavy tamasic tendancies are coming out, to be faced, cleared and lightened => lots of feedback from everyone on this theme.
What To Do ? Focus on Spirit helping you thru, Meditate on the Heart center, remain committed to your Path, to Light, to finer Resonance. Be gentle but determined...and take care of your body! Water, diet, activity, nature...**My kid thinks it's the Space aliens who are landing on Earth next week (...)
**My Taurus husband thinks it's the power of people & ideas to create extraordinary new and concrete resources & opportunities. (plus, his nightmare: cyber-Food or virtual supermarkets !)
**Most friends & students think it's an incredibly exciting new period~similar to what was happening in the 60's. Some seem scared by it, though, & find it "trying"... Everyone's riding a Big Wave, or trying to Catch one...
A Pleaidean Story illustrating Taurus square Aquarius
T A U R U STaurus, our earthy Feminine energy following the fiery Aries rush of Doing. Taurus calls us deep into Mother Earth ~to calm & enjoyment, and to nurture the female energy.
And at present, with this great stellium of planets in Taurus,
It's Time to =>
Reflect on, clarify, understand & uplift, focus on, revitalize, get realistic, make new projects concerning... all Taurus issues:
what is our capacity for inner peace, simplicity, healthy pleasures, appreciation of nature, beauty, art ?
what about our eating habits, and relation to nature, our bodies, the Eternal Feminine ?
how about money & consummation issues, right livelihood, issues of attachment-detachment ?
where are we prone to inertia, complacency, over-heaviness, habits ?
how in tune with true prosperity, & cultivating finer, more Soul-ful ways of
attracting what our body-mind-heart-Soul truly need ?
what are our true values ? what are we trying to concretise, to earth ?
how can we integrate fundamental Soul values and ideals into our life structure ?
Are we making use of Earth with awareneess
(healing energy, resources, personal talents, possessions, bodies, Nature)....
& How are we giving back to Earth ?Venus is the ruler of Taurus. So Taurus is linked to Heart Center---love & affectivity, creation, and beauty, art, spirituality. Venus concerns inner balance, peace, healing and rejuvenation as well...
Astrologer Ray Grasse rightly points out the importance of this Taurus conjunction as the awakening of the global Heart center and says..."accent on art, beauty, aesthetics, significant artistic and spiritual developments Time of completing or beginning important artistic projects. Global receptivity to Venusian influence. Energies of heart center more accessible, either creatively or mystically. Time for devotional practices, visualization, meditations. Time to pool our collective enrgies toward a worldwide linkage of hearts & minds. Healing of the planet... Opportunity to GROUND our ideals in real-world activism & reforms, particularly in environmental, political and economic areas."
He adds:
"...conjunctions are potent "seeding" times when any thoughts, changes, rituals, take on heightened power in terms of casting their shadow for years to come:
SO, BE MINDFUL." (referring to the early-May line-up of planets in Taurus)SO TRUE!! Pay Attention people, all thru this period !
To your every thought-word-emotion-deed !
Join a prayer-meditation group, drumming circle, remain dedicated to your spiritual practice, open your Heart Center...
Keep cool, calm, grounded, in-Tune!TAURUS Stellium / early May 2000,
all the visible planets are in Taurus...The Jupiter/Saturn conjunction is every 20 years...
but a grouping (stellium) which includes all of the visible planets is much rarer.
The only other time this group were together in one sign,
in the last 500 years, was in February, 1962.
The last visible-planet stellium in Taurus => May, 529 AD...
There have been other important stellium in Taurus,
such as 1857 and 1881, though they didn't include all the visibles...JUPITER - SATURN conjunction
May 2000** Since ancient times, this Jupiter-Saturn cycle has been used to predict events of great collective importance.
They concern important affairs of State & Kingdom; our leaders, kings, bosses, rulers; important changes in leadership; announcing of important laws & rules; overall state and health of the economy, education and diplomacy; the "Changing of the Guard"
** They were referred to as the "Great Chronocrators" or Rulers of the Ages.
** Christ and other great leaders are said to have been born at this conjunction.
** This is the famous conjunction that has plagued the American presidency~~each President elected during the conjunction year has died in office (except Reagan in '80~supposedly because it happened in an Air sign, not Earth, such has otherwise been the case from 1840 - 2000...)
Stephen Arroyo from "the Jupiter/Saturn Conference Lectures"=>
"Beginning of great new 20-year cycle...
Release of New Spirit / new cultural & artistic developments, new social & collective trends / new values, expression, vision / start period of sustained growth & important change in new direction / experimentation, initiation of new projects, intensityMajor emphasis is put on the sign here (Taurus)
Brings out best and worst of the sign / Cosmos is asking us for greater awareness here / Vast changes in this domain (Taurus)..."and more...
Jupiter (Greatness/Expansion/Voyage/Learning/Growth/Faith/Risk)
combines with
Saturn (Construction/Responsibility/Limitation/Focus/Weight)
Jupiter and Saturn fecondate each other:
Saturn's old structures are opened up with enthusiasm and new possibilities.
Jupiter's new vision and desire for expansion, meaning & exploration take on an "important", constructive tonality, and will be more realistic.
Important change and new direction in personal, professional, creative domains.
New structures & opportunities are being made; risks are taken that necessitate big efforts and commitments.
We're ready to work hard and take concrete steps to realize a dream, a big project.
Most are feeling hopeful, ambitious, infused with new motivation.
Making Jupiter manifest. Concretizing a vehicle for the vision, the ideal.On a PERSONAL level
The above-mentioned symbolism applies to the natal house, and even more precisely, the solar return house where Jupiter-Saturn are passing, and generally means a lot of effort and work in this domain, and having to face resistance to change, as well ...
Concrete Examples from my files:
Big Trips; house-building or important house-moving; major educational endeavors; creative and business projects involving notable effort & commitments etc.* Attention to Overdoing, exhaustion:
restore vitality by paying attention to Taurus domain, nurturing of the feminine...(body, health, food, energy resources, rest and repos, contact with Nature, simple enjoyments, sensual pleasures...)
