Dealing the Wild Card

Moments in the Flow…Uranus Goes Direct in Taurus

Hello again,

The second card in February’s fistful of change is a wild one…Uranus direct at 27 Taurus. In Eastern Standard Time this change of direction is on February 3^rd at 9:33 p.m.. That’s February 4^th at 2:33 a.m. in the UK.

When I was taught astrology in the 1970’s my teacher impressed upon me the difficulty we have with predicting how this planet will act or manifest. I try to keep that in mind. But we do know there will be change and surprise when Uranus is in aspect.

And for this retrograde cycle to 27 Taurus, our review went back to May of 2025. What changes did you see happening then and over the period of 8 months that followed? How did you deal with it? Will there be more events connected to that in the next few months?

Some Changes For Me

One of the ways I describe my trip to NYC last May is how much my experience changed since the last time I was there—pre-Covid—in May of 2018. Time had taken a toll in various ways and the number of old friends I could visit had dwindled. I did have plans for all but one day which I spent catching up on Substack. I stayed in a new location, a luxury apartment across from Lincoln Center, owned by a friend.

I was surprised to discover I had come at the perfect time to help someone heal during their recovery from open heart surgery and was able to introduce them to a Uranian method—Jin Shin Jyutsu. This Japanese pre-curser to the needles of acupuncture, uses only the hands making gentle contact with certain ‘energy locks.’

My friend felt this energy going through him and his whole demeanor and sense of confidence in his recovery changed for the better. He learned simple self-help he would use. I gave this session to his partner, too…relieving the stress of this ordeal.

Holding gently, releasing worry.

Restaurants I remembered from 2018 were no longer in business (Covid was hard to survive in that way, too), so I ate in different places. And I walked…a lot…using the Aquarian lower legs to propel me on concrete.

In June, I was speaking at a new (for me) Spiritual group on the Celtic Festival of Midsummer. I didn’t know I would find a new philosophy that I can totally resonate with: Creation Spirituality. Matthew Fox has written many books on this philosophy that relieves us of the concept of Original Sin and the need for Redemption. As Uranus goes direct, I have been immersed in reading his book “Original Blessing” and getting more involved with the group (Aquarius) and their services.

Some Changes for Others

I’m sure there were many other changes and many we all observed in the world. With Uranus in Taurus there would be an emphasis on electronics (Aquarius) and money (Taurus) and a lot of investing in crypto has taken place…new companies formed, brokers having classes on crypto for your folio. But for the more cautious (Taurus) this invisible money and the way it can get suddenly sold off to crash in lower prices (like the stock market) is not appealing. But it is very appealing to certain governments.

We were enduring the dissolving of relied upon structures and the fear of change in money systems of assistance was one of them…and some of the changes happened creating shock and disruption of lives.

And there were geophysical changes galore…so much that a day didn’t go by without a disastrous event taking place, often in more than one location.

And that’s just scratching the surface…

The Benefit of Uranus in Taurus

Now the change and surprise element moves forward again and will remain in the realm of Taurus until the re-entry into Gemini on April 25^th. Until then, we are both dealing with those changes that have occurred and experiencing more.

But for me, the most important part of having this transit of Uranus in Taurus was to awaken humanity to the power of our thoughts and visions. During these years of Uranus in the most material of the earth signs, we have had realizations and awakenings about the interconnectedness of the seemingly separate material manifestations.

One example is the documentary film, Fantastic Fungi. It was released in October of 2019 and became a widely watched success. Uranus was retrograde at 6 Taurus. The benefits of mushrooms for human health took off during these years, too.

Others had discovered the network of root systems for trees in 1997 and that work became a TED-Ed video in 2019. More articles appeared over the years since then.

The connections between the animal world and the natural world produced some fascinating information on how the wolves, in danger of being hunted to extinction yet again, played a part in the health of the ecosystem. There were more videos about the contributions of other animals and fish, too. Animals became more aware of the potential for humans to help and we saw many videos of fish, birds and mammals, seeking a human to rescue them.

But what about humans? Do we have the innate potential for positive effects on the ecosystem? So far, we’ve clean cut land to build more and more homes, shops, buildings of all kinds. We’ve overharvested crystals for commercial purposes, and we require minerals for various reasons. We are seeking to conquer lands for their mineral content, which sounds a bit like the Roman occupation of mineral-rich areas in what is now Cornwall and the UK.

And it seems we are helpless to the climate changes and the severe weather events. But that’s not entirely true. In some ways we can use our own energy of thought to make a difference.

I hope before the return to Gemini, when our intuitive mind will reawaken and other challenges arise, people will reexamine how our own energy can affect life on earth through our vision and understanding our relationship to the Elements. It’s what our Ancestral lineage knew and it was part of the education for the Priest and Priestess (Revealing the Druid Legacy). Anwen came to tell her story at this time, partly to give us tools from her own lessons. We can reawaken the memory of this connection. It is in the crystals of our bones.

Of course, if you are an Aquarius and/or have Aquarius rising, you will feel movement in general returning to your life. We will all find forward motion returning to the issues of the house in our Birth Chart with Aquarius on the cusp, and which holds the transit of Uranus in Taurus.

See you next time!
