What's it mean when Uranus - the great awakener of the cosmos - is stationed in Taurus - the strong and steady sign of the zodiac?

Uranus - The Great Awakener

Undiscovered until 1781, this is a planet that can’t be seen by the naked eye and was completely out of reach until the technology was invented to close the gap. Nearly 250 years ago, Uranus demanded that humanity stretch itself beyond the realms of possibility, in order to make the unseen seen. And today is no different – this planet is known as the “Awakener” and its energy forges ahead, shatters illusions, constructs, belief systems, traditions, and basically anything that stands in the way of a bright new future.

It’s experimental, offbeat, and innovative: Willing to stand out from the crowd, whilst simultaneously serving the crowd. As the astrological ruler of Aquarius, those with this sun sign share the same unabashed yet fiercely community-minded spirit.

Taurus – Ruler of Love, Money, Value and the Earth

Taurus, however, sees the world through a different lens.

As the Zodiac’s only fixed earth sign, its race is slow and steady, it savors the moment and wouldn’t dream of sprinting to the finish (much less diverting the course).

Taurus is overflowing with steady, devotional energy, it has stamina and resilience and enjoys the kind of hard, hard work that ends up feeling so good, it feeds the soul.

This sign roots in deep.

And likes it best when things stay pretty much the same as they’ve always been.

So it’s not an understatement to say that this planet and this sign, aren’t the happiest of bedfellows. Their whole approach to life couldn’t be more polarised, so their seven-year party-a-deux looks set to cause an upset or two (or three or four…). In fact, it’s going to be way beyond anything we’re used to.

When Uranus is in Taurus

When Uranus is in Taurus, you'll be motivated with the ultimate energy for completing tasks on your to-do list. This transit will have you feeling motivated and ultra-focused. But you won't be rushing to complete your to-do list... you'll be tactical, graceful, and scientific. Making sure that every "t" is crossed and every "i" is dotted along the way.

When Uranus is Stationed Retrograde in Taurus

Uranus retrograde in Taurus is here to get real with you. This transit is going to be shining a spotlight on where you currently are in life, versus where you want to be. Expect to have a deep evaluation of your career, your relationships, your daily habits, and even where you live. Uranus is here to shake things up and make sure you're following the right path(s) to get to where you want to be.

Uranus in Taurus Natal

If you were born with Uranus in Taurus you have a tendency to stand apart from the crowd, and "fitting in" isn't something that overly concerns you. While you can be outrageously stubborn at times, you have a strong talent for cooking up big innovations and making changes to outdated traditions or beliefs. You tend to be practical and resourceful.
