Sun Conjunct Uranus in Taurus
In astrology, a conjunction is the union of two or more planets or bodies in our heavens. For a moment, we receive a new energy. It is as if a new planet is born in our cosmos and in our consciousness, one that contains the energies of both planets in question.
The Sun is our identity, our sense of self, and our external projection of who we are. It is the confidence we gain from knowing who we are and the security of feeling rooted amidst the ever-changing world around us. It is the light that shines from within, changing and changing through the years but always there, always us.
Uranus It is a change in devotion to liberation. It opens. It reveals it. It shifts the ground beneath our feet, inviting us to look forward instead of back. Asking us to release the chains of the past and open ourselves to the future and all its potential.
When the Sun and Uranus partner during their annual conjunction on May 13, 2024, they create a space of openness, disruption, insight, and fulfillment. It is the liberation of everything that lives within our identity, within who we know we are, within how we move through the world, within that which was never ours or perhaps was ours during a certain chapter of our lives but no longer. It is aligned. with the place they invite us to go. It can be both destabilizing and liberating. Uncomfortable and liberating. Insightful and exciting. Openness and rich in potential.
There is security in knowing who we are, in understanding where we want to go and how we will move in this world. Ideas and perspectives often based on who we have been taught to be, our past actions, our past experiences, the structure of our lives that we have built up to this point. What we believe we are cannot be separated from what we have always believed we are. But Uranus only looks back to free itself from what lives there. And with that release, he looks forward. Ask, who would you be if you didn't know who you were?
An exact astrological transit on May 13, 2024, but its energy is present all week. A space to explore the complexities and gifts of identity. Where your limits end and where you could go beyond those limits. Where yours is ready for an update. And where within your identity live conditionings, narratives, patterns and more – that were never yours, or perhaps, where you are simply ready to be unleashed.
Mercury enters Taurus
On May 15, 2024, Mercury enters Taurus, where it will remain until June 3, 2024. Mercury represents the processes of the mind. This is how we assimilate information. This is how we learn. It is the way we construct our mental landscape that then shapes the way we experience the world. It is also the way we express to others everything that exists within our mental landscape.
As Mercury moves from Aries, where it previously traveled, to Taurus, we are invited to take a deep breath and slow down. Mercury in Taurus invites patience, perseverance, and immersing ourselves in whatever our current focus is. He urges us to spend time on our thoughts and spend time on our communication. Think before speaking and reflect on the information we are receiving and expressing. He reminds us that there is always more to whatever we are looking at, thinking about, learning about, talking about, and it is up to us to know it if we give it a little more time.
While our self goes through questioning, upheaval and liberation at the beginning of the week, just a few days later our minds are invited to sink into stability, security, patience and grounded thinking.
Venus Conjunct Uranus in Taurus
Venus is an inner planet, meaning it lives relatively close to the Sun. That means that when the Sun moves into a new sign or encounters a slower-moving planet, Venus usually isn't far behind. This week is no different. After the Sun and Uranus conjunct, so will Venus and Uranus a few days later on May 18, 2024.
Venus is love, harmony and balance. She is also abundance, desire, magnetism and self-esteem. Uranus is freedom, change, liberation and a look towards the future. Regardless of how it manifests outwardly in our lives, the invitation is to freedom in love, liberation in our sense of self-worth, an openness in the way we allow ourselves to desire, offer ourselves beauty, and balance the scales both within ourselves and within ourselves. inside us. external realities. It is an invitation to rewrite the script when it comes to self-esteem, relationships, abundance and beauty.
An energy that expands beyond the day of its encounter, Venus conjunct Uranus is an invitation that we will be in throughout the week. It begs the question: where does our sense of self-worth come from? And are the narratives related to this true?
Your invitation
Uranus is in the center of this week. It is an energy of change and excitement, release and potential. An energy that asks you to go beyond your known limits and look around you, at everything that exists beyond the limits of your daily life. It's an energy that can feel like a blank canvas prompting you. What will you start painting?
Everything is possible. Everything is possible.
There is an invitation to create space in the way you see and react, as well as the way you habitually think and move. Space allows ideas. The space allows you to ask questions. Space allows what awaits us in the ether to arrive and begin to change who we are.
As the Sun conjoins Uranus, allow yourself to dream, visualize, and reflect far and wide. See how far you can venture beyond your limits. Let your journey unleash the roots of who you have learned to be. As Mercury shifts into Taurus, let your interactions and experiences sink deeper. Let their wisdom, insight and information reveal themselves, taking up space in the garden that is your mind. And when Venus meets Uranus, she plays with her dreams and visions again, allowing herself to rewrite and reclaim her self-esteem, reflecting on everything that would change in her life once she realizes the value her.
