Welcome to Taurus Season: Rahu, Sun, Uranus and Mercury are all transiting the sign of the Bull. Jupiter the planet of expansion and magnification is about to enter Taurus as well, joining the others on May 16th and further amplifying all things Taurus: the need for comfort and security, financial stability, money and material possessions, environment, food and resources as well as relationships, self-worth and personal values. With this lineup of powerful players in the sign of the bull, we can expect all of these topics to rise to the top of our priority lists, and see powerful developments in this arena in the world in general.
As Mercury retrogrades through Taurus until May 16th, 2023 our financial systems can experience a period of undoing, confusion, lack of efficiency, and functionality, bringing everyone’s attention to their savings, investments and financial security. Technological dysfunction, cyber incidents and misinformation could be a possible cause of financial institutions’ failing and the markets going through a downfall during this month. This is further amplified by Uranus, who is transiting Taurus and who actually initiated this particular Mercury retrograde with a conjunction on April 21st, 2023. Additionally, Venus, the ruler of Taurus will be transiting Gemini until May 16th, another astrological sign that rules exchange, communication and transactions of data and information, all of which involves the way we value currency, commodities, stocks, investments and resources.
However, because Taurus is hyper-focused on maintaining the status quo and stability, when the period of Mercury retrograde ends we can expect a lot of effort to be invested into saving the markets and the banking institutions, which could come at a price of further centralization of power and control. Taurus is a sign of domination through concentration of material power and physical resources, who can sometimes resort to bullying the small fish in the pond to acquire control over their possessions. So in the world in general, we can observe more scenarios of bigger banks swallowing the smaller players, bullying them into submission and therefore accumulating even more financial power by absorbing their wealth.
On a personal level, May will be a month to work hard and persevere, to put more effort into developing our business, to accumulate, save and preserve our finances, to negotiate deals, to acquire valuable commodities such as real estate, tools and precious metals, to grow food and fertilize our gardens. Taurus is also known for his love for the simple pleasures of life, so do not forget to take yourself out on a nature hike, surprise your romantic partner with a special recipe and spend quality time with family members and friends sharing stories by a barbeque or a campfire. It’s the simple joys that are the most valuable and they make life special and enjoyable, according to Taurus.
Pluto Retrograde in 0*Aquarius will square Jupiter that will be entering Taurus in the middle of the month and we may experience possible conflicts of interests clashing around us. You see, Aquarius and Uranus want to reform, renovate and change, however, Jupiter and the celestial crew in Taurus want to preserve the status quo and stability. Both are fixed and stubborn signs that will not give up on their principles ..what to do? Inside of us, the same battle could be taking place, a part of us may be yearning for the new to come in and yet another part of us may be scared of change, wanting to preserve the familiar situation, however broken or dysfunctional.
If there is one area Taurus does not do well with, it’s change. The celestial giant needs a stable ground to step on, to feel in his power and to be in full control. Pluto turning to retrograde in Aquarius empowers Uranus in Taurus, which can produce shaking in the tectonic plates of our most stable platforms, testing the reliability of our structures as well as the strength of our character. When the ground starts to shift and the Bull’s hooves begin to spread in every direction the powerful beast turns into an ungraceful creature, struggling to stay up. The bull does not dance well, suffering from a lack of flexibility, instead, he draws his power from his massive weight, gravity rigidity and stiffness. This intense square formation between the two signs can possibly manifest Earthquakes, powerful storms with lightning strikes, electrical outages, technological malfunction, accidents involving explosions, landslides, and other forms of sudden shifts in our environments.
These opposite energies squaring each other in our personal charts could effect the nervous systems and the immune systems of our bodies, producing burnouts, infections (especially in the throat area) nervous breakdowns, anxiety, lack of sleep and overthinking. It is important to stay calm and not make any drastic decisions, especially if they come from a place of fear and lack of reliable information. Remember, it WILL pass and after the storm serenity will return, opening a clearer path into the future. We will see the right way to make the necessary changes without throwing away what was working and preserving the most essential elements through the transition.
Mercury will station to go direct in Taurus on May 16th, bringing us the missing pieces of information and adding some clarity to the situation at hand. During the same time, Jupiter will enter Taurus amplifying all things comfort, relationships, finances, business, values and principles. Jupiter’s entrance into Taurus on May 16th will signal a time to double our efforts at materializing our new vision of security and stability, in love and money matters. During these times of physical and emotional pressure, it is important to not forget to take breaks and to enjoy the simple pleasures, reminding ourselves why life is the most precious commodity we have.

***Who is behind Atro-Tales Newsletter?***
My name is Yulia, I have been an active Astrology enthusiast ever since I knew how to read ( I started reading books at 8 years old). Everywhere I’d go I’d look for astrology books and read them all. By the age of 20, I started drawing my own charts, using astrological ephemeris I found at the local public library, where I was a regular (this was way before automated astrology chart generators became available online). My background is in Psychology and Sociology from Tel-Aviv College and in Holistic Coaching from an NYC Institute. I have been doing readings for people for more than 25 years, using all the knowledge I’ve gathered over the years and my finely tuned intuitive skills as well as my unique psychic abilities. During my readings I am able to tune into the person’s energy field and gather information that goes beyond just the planetary placements in their birth chart, creating a very unique experience, full of deep and powerful insights and celestial wisdom. I also have close to 20 years of experience coaching people holistically and I include that knowledge in my readings as well. If this sounds like something you may be looking for, please feel free to contact me for a reading session and experience what I have to offer firsthand. I usually use Zoom or Phone for my sessions( you choose) no video is necessary unless you want it - all you need is the date, time and place of your birth. Thank you for your subscription, please share this newsletter with your friends on social media and I am looking forward to speaking with you!
