Uranus Stations Direct
Aquarius season is off to a potent start because the same day it begins, Uranus stations direct in Taurus on January 19th. Taurus represents what we value, our resources and sense of stability.
Uranus is the planet of awakening, surprise, revolution and liberation. As Uranus travels through the zodiac, it brings change everywhere it goes.
Uranus in Taurus can feel extremely uncomfortable because it creates a feeling of instability in the areas of our life where we expect stability. This transit will force us to find stability within ourselves, instead of looking outside.
To give an idea of what we are working with, the last time Uranus was in Taurus was during the great depression. As Uranus travels through Taurus until 2026, we will continue to see issues relating to supply chains, inflation, a lack of resources, natural disasters, synthetic foods, and a rise in technocracy.
Let’s look at how the big outer planets affect us as they station— Imagine a giant cargo ship suddenly changing direction. The change in direction impacts the movement of the water, wind and animals for miles. That is exactly how space is impacted as these massive planetary bodies change course. There is a noticeable difference in our environment as change ripples through.
Many of us may feel an electrifying energy like nervousness or excitement around this time, especially because Uranus is in a square with Mercury retrograde as it is stationing. This square with mercury can create a cerebral, heady feeling or restlessness. Uranus rules over the central nervous system so we may feel a bit shaken up.
To understand where Uranus is sweeping change in your own natal chart, see what house Taurus occupies in your chart. If you want an extra layer, look to see what house Aquarius occupies in your chart. This is where Mercury and Saturn are creating tension as they square Uranus during this station. Throughout the year, this energy will be in the background as the Saturn - Uranus square continues to play out.
As our central nervous system is being recalibrated, we may feel more sensitive to our environment than usual. Our central nervous system plays a key role in triggering our intuition and psychic senses. It is important to stay grounded during this time as we allow this energy to pass through our body. If you are feeling anxious, depressed, burnt out or over stimulated, nervines and adaptogens can assist our bodies in recalibrating.
Nervines calm down the nerves and a few examples are lavender, valerian, and chamomile. Adaptogens are useful because they quite literally assist with adapting to the environment. Wherever the body is in need of support, adaptogens can work their magic. Common adaptogens include wild blue berries, maca, ashwaganda, and reishi. Use your intuition to see what herbs you may be guided to.
