I am writing this only a few hours before Uranus is finally moving out of Taurus, for good. At least for the next 70 something years. I am being guided to share a message that has been wanting to come through today.
This morning, as I watered one of my Pothos plants I noticed how it was starting to bring forth new growth where it had been cut back only a few weeks ago. This plant acts as a ward of sorts, and over the last year or so it had taken on a lot of work removing and clearing unwanted energies . All the lovely vines it had grown over the years had to go in a mere few months. First it dropped some leaves, then the odd bare vine had to be removed, and finally the few remaining sad vines had to go, for good. The only way to allow it to fully transmute all that it had picked up was by pruning it right back. Would it survive? I hoped so. Would it grow back just as beautiful as it had once been? Time would tell.
And then the realisation came that this plant was a good metaphor for what the journey of Uranus through Taurus has been for many, if not most of the collective. In my case, I felt this transit the instant Uranus moved into Taurus back in 2018, like a wrecking ball. Not to mention the global events that have been experienced collectively during this time. Some will have entered this transit being one version of themselves, and have came out a new version. Others, such as those who have Taurus in one of their Big 3 – Sun, Moon or Rising – will have felt this stronger than average and will have undergone some serious life experiences. And then we have those that also experienced their Uranus opposition during this transit. Hello Midlife Crisis! Some of those souls – especially the ones fortunate enough to also have Chiron in Taurus – will have seen the version of themselves that entered this transit go through multiple deaths and rebirths, like the mythological Phoenix undergoing multiple intense transformations, changes, and uncovering aspects of themselves they never knew were there, just for some other life-altering experience to have come along unexpectedly and burned everything they thought they had finally discovered about themselves right down to the ground, only to start the process of self-discovery anew. Over, and over, and over throughout those years. But as they say, gold can only be refined through fire. And precious diamonds only form under extreme heat and pressure. If this has been your experience my dear Soul, you have undergone the most intense refining and brutal transformation. At the other side of each burning and rising during this journey you may have been presented with things, opportunities or people that once would have been fully aligned with the previous version of yourself that had just been obliterated by the Uranian wrecking ball. And you may have welcomed and embraced them, for a while, quieting that niggling feeling inside of you that was trying to tell you that something was not quite right. Your mind may have tried to rationalise things: “But this is what I’ve always wanted, why am I not happy? I’ve been waiting all of my life for exactly this”. But you were no longer the version of yourself that had been waiting for “this”. You were a new version, a new you, a more aligned with your soul you. And the letting go of “this” may have been confusing, unexpected – hey Uranus! – painful… Or unexpectedly non-painful, with no guilt, no drama. Just letting go, grateful for the experience, and grateful for the opportunity to measure your growth against the desires of your old self. Aligning now with the true desires of your soul, and the nudges of your Higher Self. That probably felt new. Welcome to alinging with no-resistance with the urges of your Soul.
So on this day, in the few hours the amazingly unpredictable Uranus still has in Taurus, maybe take some time and space to reflect on the YOU that existed before the 15th of May 2018. On YOUR journey. On all the versions of YOU that have walked along your path since that day, thanking them for the experiences and lessons, and letting them go with love, just like the plant has to let go of some old parts of itself for the new to grow. Looking at who YOU are in this moment, with love, looking forward to the new parts of YOU that are starting to bud, ready to grow back more beautiful and aligned in this new chapter that will be Uranus in Gemini. Continuing to rise like the beautiful Phoenix that you are.
Sending you much love.
