It feels like the carpet has been pulled out from under us. Saturn and Pluto are restricting our ability to invest or provide financial security overnight. It forces us to think long and hard, reflect and take slow conservative action towards building our wealth. It’s not all bad though! In the words of a Game of Thrones character, “chaos is a ladder.” There are opportunities for you, even amidst chaotic circumstances.
Look, I Get it…
It might feel like we just can’t seem to create the foundation or security we crave. Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and haven’t seen a wage increase for over 15 years. The money floats up to the very top on Wall Street and companies are solely motivated to please shareholders, whatever the cost. They strive day and night to make their stock price rise higher and higher, all at the expense of working people’s lives. The quality of the product doesn’t even have to be good. Cutting corners on product quality, cutting wages for cheaper labor and cutting back positions to burden employees with untenable workloads is a way of life. As long as the shares go up, it doesn’t matter. It’s even worse if there is a monopoly on a particular market (there are many). Customers don’t have the freedom to walk over to a competitor for a better rate. The services provided can be subpar, since there are hardly any viable alternatives. Why pay more when we can just shop on Amazon? Yet, that’s part of the problem.
The corporate culture and business legislation has to change.
An Age of Worshipping the Golden Calf of Capitalism: Taurus
In the midst of an international global pandemic we are witnessing horrible abuses of human rights in the name of greed. Businesses are price gouging essential life-saving medical technologies and products in order to take advantage of desperation and fear. Those doing it should be sent to prison, but that’s not how America works. We live in a lawless land. Laws only apply to petty street thugs and junkies, but not corporations.
This country is all about worshipping billionaires and multi-national corporations. The average citizen doesn’t see themselves as victims of a broken social order, but as a temporarily inconvenienced millionaire. The “one percent” are the new royalty or clergy, with the closest relationship to God (money). The average wage slave is the modern serf, kept in an oppressive condition through forced ignorance. The American culture is obsessed with praising the glorious “free market” economic theories implemented during the 1980s and exacerbated by bad trade laws through the Clinton Administration in the 1990s. We need a massive overhaul of our values and way of doing business.
Cue Intro…Uranus in Taurus: Revolutionizing Collective Values and Financial NEED
This is a time when we all revolutionize how we approach pleasure, materialism, security and our needs. Taurus has to do with speech and speaking out so that others clearly hear what we want. We are bound to see the rise of great speakers who will serve as mouth pieces for the collective working people in the US.
What You Can Do To Synchronize With An Earthy Uranian Energy!
- Find new and inventive ways to make money through technological innovations
- Join groups or organizations that are focused on financial stability and security
- Start sharing your resources with others and receiving help in return
- Make a vision-board of where you want to be financially (Uranus is visionary)
Everything is going to change soon. You have to be strong and ride the wave to come out the other-side in a more equitable and beautiful world. The Age of Aquarius is coming.
But until then, the current transits reflect the massive accumulation of power among the few and the disempowerment of the many — for now, at least. The pendulum always swings back the other direction.
Amazon will soon swallow up the brick and mortar shopping malls across the nation. The government mandated shutdown is just the nail in the coffin for many already in decline companies. One of my favorites (Macy’s) is closing down hundreds of stores throughout America! Because our government is corrupt and bought off by big corporate lobby money, no legislation will be passed to help provide protection to the people, and small to mid-size businesses, from the malevolent backlash of corporate interests. The average person in America will suffer more in this type of environment than they would under one with some government regulation and intervention (even socialism sounds pretty good right about now).
This inequitable dilemma of societal power relates to a strong Capricorn theme, especially since it sits in the constellation of Dhanistha, the very end of Capricorn and the very beginning of Aquarius. Those who are wealthy, will become more wealthy. Those who have beauty, will gain more beauty. Those who are poor and suffer enmity, will get more of the same.
I know what you’re thinking. “That’s awful! You mean if I don’t already have wealth I cannot get any? That puts me into a never-ending cycle of poverty!”
Don’t Worry! That’s Not the Case.
The divine spark within every human being is the essence of beauty and of wealth. It is beyond the superficial makeup of the personality and ego. It is the spirit of humanity. Uranus helps elevate our sense of personal value to this expanded point. You have intrinsic wealth and beauty from within, you just need to know how to pinpoint it. In other words, when we start to abide in the spiritual self, rather than the ego (false self), through using the imagination to feel beautiful, wealthy or powerful, the material world around us begins to shift in adherence to this inward change.
This will require you to be still and embrace silence. These are all saturnian qualities. Don’t let your awareness get too wrapped up in every little distraction that comes your way. Since you have so much free time now — I’m assuming. I could be wrong. Try not to escape through time-wasting mediums or self-destructive past times. Use your imagination to employ yourself, give yourself wealth and happiness. Make it real within your mind and then let it go.
The last time Uranus transited Taurus was 1934 – 1942:
- Ghandi went on hunger strike as a means to rebel (Taurus rules the throat and senses)
- National Socialist Worker’s Party leader, Hitler, was appointed Chancellor of Germany (strong speaker rallying his “tribe” or “racial collective”)
- US signs declaration against Axis with 25 other countries (Saturn & Uranus conj. Taurus: Collectivizing resources and shared values to form greater power)
