The Uranus transit of Taurus
The Awakener!!!!
7 years of Earth shaking unpredictability.

On May 15th 2018, at 16:16:40hrs BST, Uranus will leave the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries the Ram after 7years and make its ingress into the Fixed Earth sign Taurus the Bull for 7years.
The stewardship of "fiery" Mars as the lord of Aries over Uranus will be passed to the stewardship of Venus, the lord of Taurus.
Looking back at this past 7year period, Uranus in Aries, what stands out is 'The Arab uprising', with Syria as the most hostile revolution. The upwelling surge for release from repressive dictatorship together with a sudden urge to gain autonomy and freedom from subjugation. The uprising interestingly termed "Arab Spring", a symbolic reference to Aries, began almost immediately following the Uranus ingress on May 28th 2010.
The 2010 ingress featured a Sagittarius full moon a few hours prior to the ingress, and the lord of Sagittarius, Jupiter, was conjoined to Uranus in the 'Two Fishes' sign of Pisces. Looking back it's not too much of a stretch to see how these astronomical correlation manifested through the collective unconscious.
Many human refugees forced through violent clashes to flee, resulting in an enormous increase in watery migration. Oppressive tyrannical leaders using hostile 'Fire' to repel an uprising leading to youthful immature idealisation and naive behaviour. Groups formed with intent to cause harm built from ignorant religious impractical ideology. Glorification of 'Kingly' idolatry and 'Fire & Brimstone' distributed across the war-torn Middle East.
On the upside, there have been amazing medical breakthroughs and contributions to prolonging human life. Astonishing cosmological and astronomical advancements and innovation.
No one astronomical/astrological event stands alone and the during that 7 years we saw the transiting Nodes of the 'Collective' – the Moon - travel through the signs of Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra and Virgo. And as the cosmic dance that accompanies the Nodes of the Moon brought eclipses the dynamism was unleashed into the 'Collective Unconscious'.
Uranus transiting Taurus: 2018-2026
The ingress chart for May 2018, has the Lord of Taurus Venus placed in Gemini conjunct the Bulls horn fixed star Al Hecka. “Don't prod the Bull” comes immediately to mind. Add to this a mutual dignity reception between Venus & Mercury.
Venus also has a northern declination of +24*47', she is described as ascending high and outward bound and on the peripheral edge of the Earthly plane. Furthermore the Sun in Taurus is conjunct the fixed Star Algol, a passionate dynamic fixed star that can be very troublesome when aroused.
The following morning May 16th, 2018 @ 05:54'hrs, some 14hrs later Mars partile squares Uranus from the fixed air sign Aquarius. June 27th, 2018, Mars will Station at 9 degrees Aquarius and then retrogrades for 73 days. On July 27, 2018, a dramatic total Lunar eclipse lasting 1 hour and 43 minutes will plunge the full Moon into a deep reddish darkness. The ruddy Lunar darkness will sweep across the central east coast of Africa and make its way through the Central Middle East exiting over the Bay of Bengal.
This Lunar eclipse is of major significance as to how Uranus will commence its passage through Taurus.
July's Saros 129 Lunar eclipse is number 38 of 71 in this series. This total lunar eclipse will feature retrograde Mars conjoined to the descending South Node and the eclipsed Moon. Furthermore Mars is at its 'Perihelic apparition', its closest approach to earth since 2003. Mars will be in opposition to the Sun. This is a very dynamic astronomical event happening on a total lunar eclipse. As a direct consequence Mars will be in a vigorous square to Uranus. This is suggesting a very volatile precarious period particularly with regard to geo-political behaviour & activities. Interestingly Lunar eclipse Saros 129 was born on June 10th 1351 when Mars was in a wide conjunction to the Sun and Saturn was conjunct Uranus in Taurus.
So what do these astronomical correlation signify in astrological language?
Looking at the archetype expressed by Taurus the Bull we find invigoration through rejuvenated strength. The ploughing of the 'Earth' by the steadfast Bull. Unlike the diametrically opposite sign Scorpio which suggests rejuvenation through the process of 'Death', Taurus suggests the sustainability of life through ecological exploration from natural resources'. The support of 'Life' is found through the productive process of food or fuel. Life is dependent on the sustainability of the resources we need to drive us forward and maintain our onward journey. This productivity of resource as an archetype manifests through the cognitive process as value or worth.
What do we as a community hold steadfast as worth?
Uranus will deal with the collective unconscious values and attempt to challenge what we hold to be beneficially constructive and productive.
The mundane ingress chart for Uranus’ sojourn through Taurus suggests many challenges lie ahead. The archetype illustration of Uranus is of the Revolutionary, unpredictability, sudden impulsiveness & unexpected instability, rapid change, all of which comes about from deep-rooted no longer useful ways.
The mythological stories associated with the Titan Sky God Uranus first appear with the Hittite myths. Kumarbi is the chief god of the Hurrians. He is the son of Anu (the sky), and father of the storm-god Teshub. He was identified by the Hurrians as Sumerian Enlil, and by the Ugaritians as El. Kumarbi is mentioned in a number of mythological Hittite manuscripts, sometimes abridged under the expression "Kumarbi Cycle". Anu - Kumarbi - Teshub- - and were likened to the Greek God Ouranos. Kumarbi attacked his father Anu and deprived him of his man-hood, which falling upon the Earth Goddess Ge, made her pregnant, from where we get the child Aphrodite.
This is a very similar story told by the Greeks, Ouranos we are told is the God of the Heavens and is married to Ge (Goddess of Earth) and is the so-called father of the Titans. Ouranos is attacked by his son Kronos who severs his manhood, which falling into the sea creates a mass of foam (aphros).
This action initiates a consummation in the sea – from which the Nymph- Ourania or ‘Heavenly’ Aphrodite, known to us as Venus, emerges and steps on to the Land at Paphos in Cyprus.
Uranus was said to be first officially recognised on March 13th, 1781, by William Herschel. Uranus was the first planet discovered with the use of a telescope. Uranus is tipped over on its side with an axial tilt of 98 degrees. It is often described as “rolling around the Sun on its side.” Uranus turns on its axis once every 17hrs-14minutes.The planet rotates in a retrograde direction, opposite to the way Earth and most other planets turn.
These perplexing astronomical peculiarities of Uranus appear to permeate through the collective unconscious with words associated with Uranus such as odd, bizarre, astonishing, surprising, , inventiveness, impersonal, universal altruism, eccentricity and freedom.
Looking back through retrospective eyes, 84years ago, June 6th 1934, was the commencement of the last passage of Uranus through the 'Bull' Taurus.
History paints a confronting picture of revolutionary unpredictability, sudden impulsive unexpected instability. Days had only passed as Uranus began to explore the image of the 'Bull'. On June 14th 1934, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini met for the first time at the Venice Biennale. In October 1935, Mao Zedong led the Red Army on the 'Great March' against the Kuomintang army.
Over the following 7years the world witnessed Nuclear fission of Heavy metals defined as metals with relatively high densities, atomic weights, or atomic numbers. On December 17, 1938 the German Otto Hahn and his assistant Fritz Strassmann, explained theoretical process and in January 1939 Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Robert Frisch named the process by analogy with biological fission of living cells.
On 18 February 1930, the discovery of Pluto entered the collective unconscious.
Looking further back through our time capsule Uranus, conjoined to Pluto, entered Taurus on 8 July 1850. This was probably one of the most unstable revolutionary transits of Uranus through Taurus.
This 7year transit witnessed the Indian revolution, Crimean War, China and the Opium War, Italian revolution and the commencement of the Kansas-Free Slave battles which would continue into the Great US civil war of the 1860's. On the upside, in 1855 a paper was published on the "Introduction of Species”, by Alfred Russel Wallace, which led to the dividing line of Asiatic/Australasian species, later named as the 'Wallace Line'.
The apparent story line of Uranus the Kingly Sky God is one of sudden severance by his son. When we look at the discovery chart for Uranus by Sir William Herschel, 13 March 1781, we begin to understand this Hermetic Cipher. Saturn and Mars are conjoined in the Archer (Sagittarius) opposing Uranus in the Twins (Gemini) and the Sun completes a T-square in the Two Fishes (Pisces).
Saturn – ignorance and rejection; Mars, separation, severance and the Sun, the Leader. When we put this together we get Revolutionary (Gemini – brothers of Knowledge) violence aimed (Sagittarius- the Archer from a foreign land) at the Leader (Pisces – Serene philosophical judgments).
But this does not always have to turn into violence as Uranus is holding the Collective knowledge of the Heavens – Universal Love. (Brothers in Arms).

Ebola outbreak -1976 2014.
Ebola - what can astrology tell us about this Virus, which was first reported on the 26th August 1976.
The first identified case of Ebola was in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The first victim, was school headmaster Mabalo Lokela, who had toured an area near the Central African Republic border along the Ebola river between 12–22 August. On 8 September he died of what would become known as the Ebola virus species of the ebolavirus.
The deadly Ebola haemorrhagic fever virus has killed more than 3,400 people since it began in West Africa in March2014, and has now started to spread faster, infecting almost 7,200 people so far.
Below-in italics is what I posted on my face-book pages on August 24th 2014,
One might put forward the suggestion that these aspects Timeline of action-August 24-26th 2014, Adherences Proper - translation of Light -Solar/Lunar.....Benific/Malefic -Looking forward To See... Moon/Jupiter-Moon/Venus- Striking with Ray..... Moon/Mars -Moon/Saturn --Mercury/Mars - Moon/Nodes - Mercury/ Saturn.....Mars/Saturn..will in fact carry forward to the New Moon and SEED the Waxing. I pointed out on my post - New Moon, 26th August, that we might SEE creatures from the deep distant past appear (metaphorically speaking) and Octopus's with more than 8 Arms.
Since posting this I have researched a little more astrology data; On May 12, 1976, in Yambuku, the place of the first outbreak of Ebola, there was a conjunction of Mars & Saturn @ 27 degrees 51' in the Water sign Cancer.
This conjunction when located for Yambuku, 02N49' -022E13', places this conjunction on the MC local. Along with this conjunction there was also a conjunction of transiting Moon and Uranus @ 04 degrees23' in the Water sign Scorpio.
On August 25, 2014 in Yambuku, there was a conjunction of Mars & Saturn @ 17 degrees 40' in the Water sign Scorpio. This conjunction was locally placed in the 8th whole sign house, with transiting Uranus /South Node Aries @ 16 degrees, conjunct the local Ascendant, with Pluto on the MC.
Transmission according to health reports Ebola is spread through what could be described as Fluid.
"Human-to-human transmission can occur via direct contact with blood or bodily fluids from an infected person (including embalming of an infected dead person) or by contact with objects contaminated by the virus, particularly needles and syringes. Other body fluids with Ebola virus include saliva, mucus, vomit, feces, sweat, tears, breast milk, urine, and semen. Entry points include the nose, mouth, eyes, or open wounds, cuts and abrasions."
Further research so far has reviled some very interesting astrological data. Exactly 38 years ago (25th August 1976 -25th August 2014, two sets of 19 years - Metonic cycles) we again have a 02 degrees Virgo New Moon. This new Moon 2014, is the one highlighted in Italics above. This new Moon has Mercury in Virgo (ruler of the Lunation applying to Mars/Saturn exact sextile. In the prior 1976, lunation, Mercury at 29 degrees 35' was almost exactly conjunct 00 degree 46' -Mars in Libra.
There is a lot going on here, looking at the eclipses of 1976 - 2014 also revels very informative correspondence. Equally the quarterly Sun Ingress is a useful set links to look at.
I guess what I'm suggesting here is that there appears to be some very useful correlations worth researching. I did a lecture presentation many years ago at The Sydney Astrological Research Society, where I showed the correlations with the Black Death Plague of 1347-1351, and the Swine Flu outbreak. One interesting fact is that the 1345 Jupiter/Saturn conjunction in Aquarius had Uranus at 15 degrees Aries. This degrees seems from my research to pop-up more than random statistics would have it, suggesting that the coming 15 degree Aries Lunar eclipse may be very challenging.
During the 1345 conjunction of Jupiter/Saturn, of great interest was at the same time Mars also joined Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus was in Aries at 14 degrees along with the South Node and there was a Solar eclipse in the Water sigh Pisces.
There are many other factors, far too many to post here.
