Mercury moving into TaurusWe have Mercury the planet of communication moving into Taurus on Monday 14 May 2018.  Our thought patterns will slow down substantially from the Aries pace.  We will be thinking more methodically, resourcefully and have a lot more patience.  As grounded as this placement is - once the bull gets fired up it will blow so I suggest not to push the limits too far when communicating your own thoughts as Taurus can get very fixed and stubborn when getting their point across.  Our thoughts will be drawn to things like cooking, eating more, gardening, shopping, wining and dining and just wanting to be doing anything that serves comfort for ourselves.   Relationships will also continue to be a strong theme on our mind along with our values and how we earn our money.   If you want a better idea of how you will be affected with Mercury entering Taurus look to your Natal chart to the house ruled by Taurus.New Moon in TaurusWe have a new moon in Taurus happening on Tuesday 15 May 2018.    Seeing as this new moon is in an earth sign, this is a great time to set intentions for your physical reality and watch the fruits of what you have asked for appear.   You will more than likely feel a fresh waive of groundedness within yourself along with finding new ways to earn more money and really assess your new values that match the person you are today.  The energy around this time is great to indulge in your senses with lovely food, material items (shopping) and gardening.  It is also a time to break yourself out of ruts (whether that is a habit, belief, attitude or relationship).  Taurans need security emotionally and materially so you may find yourself striving for this in the coming weeks with this influx of energy.   Look to your Natal chart and the house ruled by Taurus to get a better understanding where the energy is playing out for you.Uranus moving into TaurusUranus is a slower moving planet which takes around 7-8 years to move through a sign.  Therefore this is a big deal in astrology that it is shifting signs on Wednesday 16 May 2018 from Aries into Taurus.  Uranus is the planet that awakens us, puts those synchronistic moments in our path, creates shocking and unpredictable events, gets us out of ruts and basically helps to change things that are stagnant.  So you can imagine the contrast that this will create...Taurus is a fixed sign that is quite happy and content for things to stay the same in order to feel safe and secure.  So themes that this will affect us on a global scale will include the way we view finance and monetary value, housing/property, our values, our relationship to the planet/environment, relationships, how we use our talents and gifts to create income (you may suddenly get insight into hidden treasures you never knew you possessed).  To get a deeper understanding how this affects you, you will need to have your Natal chart done to see where in your chart Taurus rules.
