“Something inside her was violently sensual, alive, earthy…” – Anaïs Nin, Delta of Venus
I went through a middle-school phase of coining private philosophical slogans. As the season of Fixed Earth welcomes us with her Venusian embrace, I am bringing back the most successful of these mantras: “Just Moo.” It sums up the little-discussed, often disruptive, Big Sky Story entering its denouement: transpersonal Uranus in the collective’s natural second house of Value.
Imagine a blinking bovine herd, enjoying a fresh pasture, as climate shifts the earth beneath their feet and the sky above crackles with rogue weather. Imagine the unbothered herd’s lowing, sweet response as they chew well, standing their ground. Taurus season traditionally invites our first steps on solid ground after Aries’ Cardinal Fire initiates our astrological new year. In 2025, the sign of Venus’ domicile tells us to slow our roll and just moo. If we must make moves, let’s test each step before trusting it.
A Voluptuous, Verdant Benefic Ruler
Domicile Lady Venus aligns with the zodiac sign of Taurus and asks for our authentic embodiment of the divine feminine principle. Tarot casts her as The Empress, secure at the apex of each suit’s Queenly power. Fixed Earth elementally invokes correspondences with resource fertility and abundance. Taurus is the garden where birds, bees, and blooms unite and thrive. She is the noble heroine of Shel Silverstein’s treasure, “The Giving Tree.” She is the cautionary voice of Dr. Seuss’ Lorax, who speaks for the trees. Think Katherine Hepburn, Gal Gadot, Cher, Lizzo, and Adele—Taureans, all.
The Uranian Wrecking Ball
Uranus’ tour of Taurus, from May 2018 to July 2025, has hosted a swirl of mundane chaos—courtesy of the disruption by the dark feminine polarity within our collective. It’s been giving Gaia Strikes Back with #MeToo, the Dobbs decision, global wildfire, our genetically altered food supply, and rampant nutrition-related illness, plus oh yeah, CRYPTO. (Let’s not forget Taurus’ association with Value, specifically markets.) The shadow of this transit is evident in 3D economic expressions of inflation and scarcity mindset, as well as physical manifestations of bodily inflammation and autoimmune dis-ease.
Shrooms Erupt into the Mainstream
One parting gift of Uranus Taurus may very well be the open cultivation and widespread legal use of psilocybin in certain American states. After all, shrooms and cows are how historically Mama Nature shared her psychedelic medicine across the US. Plant medicine pioneer Terence McKenna, with a natal Scorpio stellium, found his purpose across the Fixed oppositional axis from Water to Earth, in Taurus.
(As a Colorado native, McKenna grokked a thing or two about cows, and likely has some interdimensional musings on his home state’s Natural Medicine Health Act.)
A Twisted Venus Origin Tale
Transpersonal Uranus has a complicated backstory with the lesser benefic, Venus. According to the hella-triggering mythos, Saturn castrated his father (Uranus) and tossed his genitals into the Aegean Sea. The resulting froth of semen crashed upon Cyprus’ shoreline and gave rise to a fully-formed Aphrodite, later crowned Venus by the Romans. Daddy-issues for days is the correct read here, with a recent Venus Aries retrograde introducing vigilante vibes amplified by streetfighter asteroid Eris—also in Aries.
Lilith Scorpio Came to Play
If Taurus season reprises a riff circa Samhain 2024, that’s because of Black Moon Lilith’s Scorpio ingress, across Fixed Earth’s oppositional axis to Fixed Water, our natural eighth house of Transmutation. This axis was highlighted from January 2022 to July 2023, with Taurus on Rahu, the North Node of Dharma, and Scorpio on Ketu, the South Node of Karma.
Those eclipse seasons were heavily aspected by Uranus Taurus, informing a massive metaphorical limb pruning. New Moon Taurus in mid-November 2024 was conjunct Uranus in a Fixed Cross. Six months later Lilith, our common bad girl ancestor who lovesloveloves Scorpio, will mulch and replenish what was shaken and stirred—f we don’t mind her dancing on recent graves.
Uranus Gemini: Next at Bat
Uranus, the transpersonal planet of innovation is identified with frequency, and in evolutionary astrology, the windy planet is associated with Aquarius—where malefic Pluto just launched a two-decade transit of Fixed Air. In the Summer of 2025, Uranus dips into Mutable Air, just missing Jupiter—which is probably for the best if we’re being honest. Gemini is our natural third house of Communication and Aquarius is the natural eleventh house of our Social Circle. Expect shockwaves in language, networks, and media. If Uranus is lightning in a bottle, Gemini is exactly the genie to pop the cork.
