Some lives never feel settled. Always at a crossroads. Something else, something more, to figure out. A new problem. A new discovery. A new love. Is your life like this? Or are you “figured out.” Dug in.
This has absolutely *not* been a typical Taurus Season. Saturn is in Scorpio and one by one, all the planets moving through Taurus have created oppositions with Saturn.
Oppositions are the other people (and situations) that come into our lives to show us… where we’re at. And where we need to do better (especially in the case of Saturn).
When oppositions happen by transit, you are more BUSY. There is more outside influence, good, bad, ugly, or neutral. It can be that “why is this always happening to me” feeling because something IS happening to you, and usually beyond your control. Your power lies in your action and reaction. And your negotiation skills.
If you have an opposition in your chart, then you are always in a process of trying to… reconcile, at least, two worlds.
Let’s use as an example some out of season signs: Cancer and Capricorn. Cancer is the mother. Capricorn the father. Cancer is emotional. Capricorn keeps emotions in check. Cancer is the home. Capricorn is work. See what I mean?
Imagine someone who has such an opposition or more than one opposition in their natal chart. Where will they put their energy and what happens when one side of the equation get ignored?
A Cancer/Capricorn person will suffer if they ONLY live in their feelings (Cancer) and never learn that they still have to work (Capricorn) even when they don’t feel like it. A Cancer/Capricorn person will suffer if they ONLY do their duty and ignore their feelings and instincts.
So in terms of handing what’s happening in the sky these days, I think Saturn in Scorpio is holding up that Taurus/Venus mirror, showing you where you are lacking and that is painful. There are holes in your boat, the water is pouring out. You will drown if you don’t fix it. What will you do? The opposition here may be a situation or a person or the KNOWLEDGE of what needs repair.
My advice: don’t get lazy. Low vibration of Taurus isn’t just slow, it STOPS. It stagnates. Push yourself as much as you can NOW. Even if that push is about… non-doing or self-care. But for many of us it is about work and survival, physical, emotional.
Also, I think Gemini Season will lighten our hearts so hang in 🙂

4 thoughts on “Surviving Taurus Season”
Yes I definitely understand this. Lately I’ve been trying to let it all go. Its not really easy to describe how to do that or to do it, but in all the hurry and anxiety of surviving I’ve been drowning. Drifting farther from any shore.
For me, this is about holding on to things that can’t be held on to. Allowing things to break down completely and seeing what truly endures. Finding a new anchor internally. That means a new mentality and a new conception of myself. Pluto is really annoying.
So strange…My natal Sun, Moon and Mars (also NN ha!) are in Taurus in my 11th but I have Neptune opp. in 5th instead of Saturn. I live in a crazy fog with all of my wounds showing. With this transit the fog is lifting some and I feel like I can make progress again. Grateful for a bit of sunshine after too many years of wandering through the mist. Thank you for helping me gather all of this and make a bit more sense of it, Aliza.
I’m glad the fog is lifting, muddytaurus! Less muddy 🙂
This post is wonderfully on-target.
“Always at the crossroads. Something else, something more . . . . A new love [or the false appearance of one] . . .”
“Something IS happening to you, and usually beyond your control. Your power . . . in your . . . negotiations skills.”
That is absolutely my life these day, non-stop action; one encounter ends followed by another starting (e.g., yesterday morning ending, then last evening another beginning). Just this morning, writing a letter of “negotiation” to someone for a very strange event, last evening that was not in my (or her) control — her young daughter tried to get us together [a bit naively] (and we are somewhat familiar with each other, and have a little bit of history).
For me, transiting Saturn, sitting conjunct my natal North Node in Scorpio, opposed all the other transits in the comforting stability of Taurus, is saying: “Leave all that comfort (of doing nothing), get to dealing with things and bringing the truth [Scorp ascend] in the most responsible way.”
