Taurus + Taurus Rising Preview 2021*

Social distancing at the supermarket and riots on the television. Mandatory masks whether or not you had your lips done/an m.o. to smile at someone. If knowledge is power, is this anarchy or decentralization?

Common sense is the new super-rare commodity but don’t tell anyone in case they rip up forests trying to find it. You’re Taurus, tapped into the tree matrix and old Earth magic, sensitive to geomagnetic flux. Maybe your irritation when someone moves your stuff has to do with ley lines, not possessiveness? Anyway, this isn’t the 2021 you envisaged last decade. No wonder your trap muscles are tight.

Metaphysically, it feels like you have to shoulder the burden or pull a weighty wagon laden with baggage and other people’s stupid ideas, ox in the yoke style. But there is another way through.

Remember who you are: Taureans are famous for their physical charisma and emission of supernatural sex rays but beneath that is a rock-steady force of stamina. It’s not crazy-fashionable – it’s not like you can keep tweeting “still here” every few days – but when weirdness reigns, your ease with the long-term perspective comes into its own.

Now, as you know, Uranus is in Taurus until 2026. You currently have Mars (finally!) in Taurus, and Mars + Uranus meet in late January. This will be a good time to tune into the ingenious possibilities of this energy or action, something rad. You’ve had this new feel in your life since May 2018 – Saturn and Pluto stole that thunder, but now it’s back. Simply put, the current atmosphere is not only a fantastic ‘cover’ for a reinvention – you will find openings and new roles that were not there before.  You’re going to build. 

But wait, what about Saturn in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus? If this were a stage show, this is the bit where the Taureans would storm out. Their collective huff would be detectable from space, skewing all the solar wind measurements and freaking out the astronauts: “What the fuq was that?”

Yes, it’s a year-long phenom but most overt in Feb and June. No, it’s not like the Saturn-Pluto scenario of 2019/2020.  You were settling into a completely new groove anyway. You’re flipping paradigms like you’re changing the bedsheets, recalibrating your assets/liability metrics, and getting wiser in the process. Recent events and the current atmosphere are, if anything, quickening your evolution. 

The Saturn square represents significant career, leadership, or business opportunities that may seem to clash with your emerging consciousness. A hyperbolic example of the syndrome: To go bush/shun society or step up, speak out and lead? Uranus rules Aquarius and jolly Jupiter is also in Aquarius – you can work this to construct a new, more values-aligned way of operating. And as above, Neptune is enhancing your friendship and affinity circles – visionary collective thinking feeds fabulous connections.

It would only turn turgid if you adhered to fibrous old theories and rules or limitations. E.g., a fulfilling romance has to be a household-consumer-unit, or quality personal space and relationships cannot co-exist.  But, with rebel Lilith – the Black Moon AKA Lunar Apogee – in Taurus until July, you’re less infatuated with assumptions or set & forget narratives. Lilith is instinct-inspired.

Your 2021 challenge is to balance or merge the rebel alliance of Lilith + Uranus with your material and mating desires. And, this year’s Taurus Season will be magnificent: the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Lilith & Uranus in your sign, backed by Mars, Neptune, and Uncle Pluto.
