Uranus is the planet of revolutionary changes, and Taurus is the sign that represents the physical world, our bodies, the earth, animals, food, money, and how we assign value to the things that support and sustain us. Previous Uranus transits of Taurus occured in 1934-1941, and before that, 1850-1859. The period 1850-1859 featured a new expansion of the Industrial Revolution, innovative technological changes, new materials such as steel and iron, and utilization of new energy sources such as coal and oil. The transit of 1934-1941 was marked by WWII and the Great Depression following the Stock Market Crash of 1929, with accompanying themes of scarcity and abundance, and security versus freedom. The 2018-2026 Uranus transit of Taurus gives rise to possibilities such as the restructure of businesses, banks, and political institutions to a more equitable ideal, the growth of cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence and robotics, and increasing consciousness regarding humans and our relationship to the environment. Have a great month, and always remember: Keep looking to the stars!
