Taurus Stellium--Eat, Sleep & Procrastinate

-
Venusian Beauty, Audrey Hepburn, Wikipedia
With Sun, Mars and Venus in Taurus, and Mercury and Moon heading that way in the next two weeks, I'm sleeping in and my appetite has increased.  So I listened to Mark Husson's Hay House Radio show yesterday and the astrologer talked in detail about Taurus and also the upcoming eclipses.  Apparently, I'm not the only person craving comfort foods at this time or feeling like I'm just plodding my way through life (at this time).  With Mars so closely tied to the Sun right now through a conjunction, people will feel indignant about sleeping in and perhaps choosing unhealthy food (fatty, sweet, indulgent).  And with Venus in its home sign, cooking and eating are definitely on the agenda for most people, even if someone else is doing the cooking such as in the case of a restaurant.

While we need to stay mindful of our eating and other habits during this time, don't become so disciplined that you miss out on this pleasurable time, especially if you live in a place with lots of greenery and flowers, lovely fragrances, and farm fresh food.  And any case, you won't get away with too many bad habits or mindlessness during this time because of the powerful eclipses coming your way.  We might question discipline and responsibility (Saturn conjunct Lunar Eclipse Moon) with indulgence Sun/Mars and Venus in Taurus.  During the Lunar Eclipse Saturn/Moon opposes Mars/Sun with Venus hanging out there on the fringe.  Saturn and Moon provide the overwrought emotions such as guilt while Mars/Sun bring anger and projections on to others, which is often what causes violent acts in the first place.

Venus, Wikipedia
But this is not a lecture on projections and shadows even if the eclipses will bring up those issues for each of us.  I'm including fodder for escape and fantasy in the form of movies with Taurus themes.  While I hope you do the necessary emotional and spiritual work that is presented to you now, if you find yourself needing relief, watch one or two of these movies.  Heck, watch them all.

A Capricorn Sense of Humor

  Yes, Virginia, Capricorns Have a Sense of Humor Often I hear from others that Capricorns don't have a sense of humor. And it's true that many astrologers have painted a bleak and doom picture of our Capricorn friends. I have a Capricorn Rising Sign and half of my birth family is Capricorn. We have enjoyed raucous laughter. So, let me tell you about Capricorn humor. It's not as refined as Libra wit nor does it fall in line with Scorpionic dark humor or Sagittarius vulgar humor. And yet, Capricorn humor contains elements of vulgarity, darkness, and refinement. And it is as quirky as Aquarius humor and as surreal as Pisces humor. And yet, it is in a league of its own. Let's gaze at the humor of actresses Julia-Louise Dreyfus and Diane Keaton. I really only remember Julia-Louise from her Seinfeld days. I never watched any of the movies in which she appeared. This comedic actress wed physical humor with surrealism and she wasn't shy of express

Eat, Pray, Astrology (Liz Gilbert's Chart)

Liz Gilbert, TED TALKS Whole Astrology is now over four years old. I'm pulling this article from the 2012 archives. It as popular when I first posted it so I'm sure it's still of interest. I mentioned Liz Gilbert in my article on meditation by planet.  Then a colleague sent me sent me this chart   You can also view the chart below. Cancer Sun Aries AC Virgo Moon  I doubt that Liz Gilbert was born at 12:00 p.m. and usually when a person is given an Aries AC at 12:00 p.m. it is because a birth time is missing, not always though.  I don't see any yods in the chart, but if these are the right houses for Liz, then we can see where the events of "Eat, Pray, Love" came from. Star IQ Astrology site In the seventh house (of marriage), Liz has Uranus and Jupiter at 0 degrees Libra , a perfect conjunction.  Since the planets are at 0 degrees Libra, they have just entered that sign, and the Libran energies of partnership would feel new to the natal Jupit

Uranus Transits from 1930s to 2019---Radical Change

-

For the past several months, I've been researching the ways Uranus has ushered in changes through several decades beginning in the 1940s. Originally, I was considering writing a series with PDFs for each transit per sign along with podcasts. But now, I'm considering writing a book that will include the 1960s transits and the Uranus transits. For now, I'm going to include a brief article featuring each Uranus transit and the events and people that appeared during those times. The equation is Uranus' shocking grassroots energy + the themes of each Zodiac Sign. Uranus also formed a conjunction with Pluto in the 1960s. And after the Harmonic Convergence, the late 1980s, Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn formed a powerful Triple Conjunction in Capricorn. We're currently seeing the kids born during that time taking leadership positions (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for starters). The dates below sometimes don't include the dip back into the previous Z
