Bulls and oxen share the characteristic known in the Spanish bullfighting world as querencia, loosely translated as "the place where one feels most comfortable and true.” As the Sun and Moon enter the zodiac sign Taurus, all of nature—giddy and perhaps rowdy from rapidly growing up and out—begins to find its happiest place, and begins to stabilize to feed, growing blooms with earth energy. Longer and warmer days heat the dirt, and the light opens the blossoms. All life begins to relax into arrival and solidity.
This month, the Sun and Moon join the revolutionary force, Uranus, who has been inhabiting the bulls’ world for some time now—Uranus took up long-term residence in Taurus in March of 2019. Western mythology associates Uranus with “outsider” qualities, and this journey of the revolutionary through the Earth field of dirt and stability has been provoking many insecurities and shakeups in the status quo.
When the luminaries heat up the revolutionary, amplifying its ongoing argument with Saturn—the authority figure—what encounters between change and status quo will we face? How will we reconcile these great forces in our directions?
Note: If you have a copy of your own horoscope, it will be possible to trace these currents to your own experiences. For more information on reading your own natal chart, you can purchase the recording of How to Read Your Own Horoscope 101.
About Carol Ferris
Carol Ferris is a full-time consulting astrologer, teacher, and private tutor of astrology with four decades of experience. She completed her MA in Interdisciplinary Studies at Marylhurst University. The title of her thesis, The Sky's Body: Constellations and Medicine reflects her ongoing interest in nature-based medicine and governance thinking of the ancient Near East and Chinese philosophers and astrologers. Carol's work with the multivalent symbols of astrology is interwoven into work with dreams and active imagination. Over the years, Carol has seen these two frameworks —astrological mapping and Jungian imagery —as mutually beckoning guides to understand how all life, in its exquisite specificity, rises from a unified field.
