Uranus is moving into Taurus on March 6 and will be there for the next 7 years. Personified as the God Prometheus, he likes to shake things up and I would diagnose him with ADD, and a manic personality. He really doesn’t like to sit still. He tends to start uprisings and revolutions which fits into the fact that the Occupy Wall Street movement started as soon as he moved into Aires seven years ago.
Those born between 1934 and 1942 will have a Uranus return sometime in the next 7 years while the wild man is in Taurus. I have found that a lot of people get noticed when they are 84 or 85 (The period of the Uranus cycle). Joseph Campbell died just before his Uranus return, but PBS aired Bill Moyers interview with him after his death and that led to him becoming very well known. My Dad had a picture of his garden in the local paper when he was 85.
What does this mean for those of you with the Ascendant, Moon or Sun in Taurus? Well, Taurus types don’t like to take risks; they like a very stable, secure life and Uranus is totally unstable and cares nothing about security. The only advice I can give is--stay loose. I have the moon (home) and two other planets in early degrees of Taurus. If you call for an appointment in this year, I may be living in Singapore (where I have wonderful lines according to Astro-Cartography).
Taurus rules possession, money, property, land, banking, farming, and gardens. Uranus isn’t all bad; he is a genius and very inventive. We could see some positive breakthroughs and inventions in these areas. He loves technology and originality. Taurus also rules the working class and the infrastructure where we may see long-delayed Improvements.
A city in California decided to guarantee an income to everyone whether or not they were working. That is a very Uranus in Taurus idea. We may see more of these kinds of things around income equality. Also, Uranus rules technology and with Taurus ruling money we may see more development in the area of cyber currency. Uranus in Taurus concerns climate change. We may see more unusual weather patterns or, on the other hand, developments concerning economic or technological breakthroughs in this area.
Look for the house in your chart that contains Taurus. This is the area of your life where you try to hold on tight, and not make changes. Uranus is going to force you to let go. See the meaning of the houses here. Ultimately all Uranus is asking for is some flexibility in your ideas and in your habits.

Other news – Amazon Prime is showing 20 episodes of Great Greek Myths an easy way to learn why these myths are so important for our understanding ourselves and others.
Mercury turning retrograde on March 5th until March 28. During the second part of Mercury retrograde, he will be cruising along with Neptune, giving this retrograde a dreamy quality. Our minds will not be sharp but we won’t care.
Dates to Watch:
Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant Sheet to find if the following transits will have a major impact on you.
Mar 1 – Venus Square Uranus at 29 Capricorn and 29 Aries. You are way too cranky to be in a relationship. You may not realize that, but I bet your partner does.
Venus enters Aquarius until March 26. Venus is the planet of love and when she goes into the sign of equality she is looking for an equal partnership or since Aquarius is the sign of groups, she may decide on an intimate relationship with more than one person. Oh My.
Mar 5 – Mercury turns retrograde until March 28. Don’t freak out about this. Mercury can bring some calmness into our frenetic lives. Sometimes we start too many things and never finish them (a special alert for Gemini and Sagittarius). This is a good period to finish up things you have started.
Mar 6 – New Moon at 15 Pisces. This New Moon will conjunct Neptune enhancing the Full Moon effect, making us more introverted and sensitive to others and to our environment. This is the start of the month. Pisces is the most fluid of all the signs of the zodiac. During this month we have the compassion for others and we are not as judgmental as other times (special alert for Scorpio and Capricorn.
Sun Conjunct Neptune at 16 Pisces. Your imagination is working overtime. So are your unrealistic fantasies. Get your head out of the clouds and think of a creative way to make money. And no, don’t rely on your dreams to tell you.
Uranus enters Taurus until July 8, 2025. This is the most important transit this month or maybe for the entire year. If you have early degrees (1 through 6) of your personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury Venus, Mars) or the ascendant, Uranus may kick you around this year. You may not know what hit you. You wake up one morning and want to buy a trailer and head out for who knows where. OR, you look at your partner and wonder “what was I thinking marrying this dude”? This is going to be fun watching Taurus types come out of their lethargy and move somewhere, anywhere fast.
Mar 13 – Sun Square Jupiter at 23 Pisces/Sagittarius. You need some self-control on this one. Jupiter wants to eat too much, spend too much and run around heedlessly.
Mar 14 – Mars Trine Saturn at 18 Taurus/Capricorn. This is a positive, grounded earthy trine. Get your taxes down. They will flow easily today.
Sun Conjunct Mercury at 24 Pisces. This is a good day to take a trip or work on that great American novel you have been working on for 12 years. Especially brilliant day for those of you with the personal planets or the ascendant at 22 to 26 Pisces.
Mar 15 – Mercury Square Jupiter at 23 Pisces/Sagittarius. You may run into a loud mouth, BS artist today or is that you? If could be you if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 21 to 25 degrees of Pisces or Sagittarius.
Mar 20 – Full Moon at 0 Libra. This is a beautiful Full Moon. It is ruled by Venus the receptive planet of charm and beauty. Libra idolizes harmony. We are going to try to get along during this Full Moon.
Mars Trine Pluto at 22 Taurus/Capricorn. This transit will last a week before this date and a week after. It is a great time to get a lot done. Your initiative and energy are powerful. Why don’t you clean out the attic? Get rid of the junk you no longer need—material and emotional.
Sun enters Aries until April 20. This is the beginning of spring. We will see the crocus pop up their little heads. This helps elevate our mood.
Mar 21 - Venus Square Mars at 23 Aquarius/Taurus. This is not very favorable for finances or relationships with the opposite sex. There are too many blunders committed under this transit. You could really mess up if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 21 to 25 degrees of Aquarius or Taurus.
Mar 24 – Mercury Conjunct Neptune at 16 Pisces. You need to slow down a bit. You want to spend your time catching up on all of the celebrity gossip. You are really relishing all the scandals if you have personal planets or the ascendant at 14 to 18 Pisces.
Mar 26 – Venus enters Pisces until Apr 20. This is a great place for Venus. During this time we can form some very heart-centered relationships. We are also attracted to spiritual teachings. See how each zodiac sign responds to spiritual teachings on my blog.
Mar 28 – Mercury turns direct. Whew, glad that is over! Wait a few days to start your new projects.
Mar 31 – Mars enters Gemini until May 15. Mars likes to make war not love. In Gemini, he doesn’t know who to fight with. You know Gemini is the sign of ADHD. He is confused. But this is a good period to put energy into literary projects.
OUTER PLANET TRANSITS:
JUPITER is now in Sagittarius. This month Jupiter moves from 21 to 24 degrees of Sagittarius. Jupiter is about growth and expansion especially in travel and education and also in the area of your life ruled by the house in your natal chart that holds Sagittarius. Jupiter is happy is Sagittarius, it is his home but don’t forget about his excessive qualities. In Sagittarius, you could take on too much, too many projects, too many engagements, too many appointments, too much socializing. Watch it
SATURN is in Capricorn until 2020. This month he will move from 17 to 19 degrees of Capricorn. If you have the ascendant or any personal planets at 17 to 19 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer, you may be in store for some hard lessons around the issues ruled by the planet and the house the planet is in or rules. While Saturn is in Capricorn he is asking about your ambitions, your career, and your work ethic. In Capricorn he is right at home and wants to build something, make plans and be successful in the outer world.
URANUS is in Taurus until Apr 2026. This month he moves from 29 Aries to 1 degree of Taurus. If you have personal planets or the ascendant at 29 degrees of Aries or Libra, or 0 to 1 degrees of Taurus or Scorpio, you will feel a need for freedom and for making some radical changes in your life. I believe in “cooperating with the inevitable”. If you have Uranus in a challenging aspect to your ascendant or personal planets, go on a long vacation, move or make some major changes in your life.
NEPTUNE (creativity, sensitivity, escapism, dreams) is in Pisces until 2026. This month he travels from 15 to 16 degrees of Pisces. A lack of focus, a sense of drifting or an inability to see a betrayal or disappointment until it's too late can be experienced by those of you with the Sun or Personal Planets at 15 to 16 degrees of Pisces or Virgo. For the enlightened out there, Neptune can also bring artistic, musical, creative expression, increased dreams and spiritual insights. Watch for some really inspired films to come out during the time Neptune is in Pisces.
PLUTO is in Capricorn until 2023. This month Pluto moves from 22 to 23 degrees. Profound changes will be felt especially by those with the ascendant or personal planets at 22 to 23 degrees of Capricorn or Cancer. What needs to die in order to be reborn?
Have a good month.
