April 19, 2024 – Sun enters Taurus.
Taurus, second sign of the Zodiac and the first earth sign, takes the Aries desire to be and grounds it in physical form. Those with Taurus strong in their charts are often drawn to activities that involve the manipulation of material reality. These are the gardeners, dancers, sculptors, yoga practitioners, mechanics, and surgeons of our world. Experiencing life through form is a core process for them.
Form can be seductive, and these natives can be resistant to change. Taurus is associated with resources of all types (money, things, and our bodies), and in their shadow these individuals can be acquisitive and even stubborn. Among their lot are those who enjoy the sensuality of luxurious meals, baths, and beds, and also those who accumulate money, things, ideas, and emotions to the point of excess.
In the language of Shamanic Egyptian Astrology, Taurus is associated with the Earth Goddess Hathor. Hathor is an ancient archetype, symbolic of the generative power of the feminine. Hathor’s message is that in this dimensional reality, enlightenment cannot be achieved by escaping into the stars but rather by becoming fully embodied here on Earth. “Come on down,” Hathor says to us. “Experience all that life has to offer, both the pleasure and the pain.”
This year, Taurus energy is intensified. As the Sun enters Taurus, Jupiter exactly conjuncts with Uranus. Jupiter, principle of expansion, is aligned with Horus, the Young King. Uranus, the Great Awakener, is allied with Wadjet, the Kundalini Cobra Goddess. Both are known as The Shatterer. This conjunction is powerful and intense. The wolves are howling, and pressure is building - something uncontrollable can erupt at any time.
The Sun will remain in the emanation of Taurus/Hathor from April 19 to May 20.
