La LaRona or La larona or La Corona are my nicknames for the Coronavirus. Trying to keep things light in this heavy and serious times. #Mercuryinthe8th House. Here I want to break down Uranus in the time and context of the Coronavirus Pandemic.

Anyway I briefly talked about in this blog post: theastrofiend: Coronavirus Multi Transpersonal planet Stellium in Capricorn, Saturn moving into Aquarius Uranus in Taurus Unpredictable, Uncertain and Revolutionary Times. To quote myself:

" Things have to be shaken up, put out of order in order to get order which is Uranus job. Specifically in Taurus a sign ruled by Venus, beauty and abundance. We now must make due with what we have. The old way of capitalistic excess and wastefulness is dying. Yes Taurus is about abundance but Uranus is rebelling against it's own sign and making things precise and better. Aka rebelling against your nature to reach a higher homeostasis.
Look at us Americans fighting over and hoarding toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Look as us price gouging and trying to profit from a deadly pandemic that is killing people worldwide................................. Uranus in Taurus is teaching us to create material abundance through sustainability (hence why minimalism, tiny homes, skoolies, diva-cups are popular). Let's find new ways to survive, live, thrive without furthering the corporate systematic murder of our planet and the suicide of ourselves."

Long quote aside:

What is Uranus? & What is Uranus in Taurus?

I honestly never thought, learned, and experienced Uranus outside of my personal natal chart, and when I interpreted other people's Uranus's in their charts. This will be one of the first times that I am truly thinking and contextualizing Uranus in terms of society and all sociopolitical trends, topics, and ideals that come with it.

Uranus is about creativity, innovation, change, discovery, rebellion, science, and invention. It's a trans-personal planet that moves through each sign every 7-8 years. Trans-personal planets are slow moving outer more modern discovered planets that affect a generation of people instead of people born in the same month or same year (Sun, and Jupiter respectively).

In context of society it's how a generation cohort rebels against society and it's messages. It's how an energy moves society and culture forward (with the constant help of the other planets but especially the outer planets (Pluto and Neptune)

Uranus went into Taurus on May 15, 2018 and will stay until April 26, 2026; so about 8 years

Supposedly Uranus in exalted in Scorpio and in the Fall in Taurus. Detriment in Leo. Randomly but I am not completely into assigning exaltations' for outerplanets aka trans-personal planets. Personal planets exaltations' make more sense but still must be taken with a grain of salt.

Anyways Taurus is an Earth Fixed Sign ruling the 2nd House and ruled by Venus. Venus is the sign of love, relationships, marriage, beauty, friendship, arty, indulgences/pleasure, harmony, and material abundance. Venus also rules Libra, so Taurus's side of Venus is Earthy, physical, practical and have more grounded aspirations. Hence why Taurus rules the 2nd House of values, money, possessions, ways of earning money, skills, and your personal foundation.

More on Uranus in Taurus in the Time of La LaRona

The more I think about the Coronavirus. The more I think about Uranus in Taurus. There's a ton of **** going on astrologically but I'm fixated in Uranus in Taurus.

It seems that Uranus in Taurus is not only rebelling against society but also its' self. I think to myself am I mistaking the effects on society with Pluto in Capricorn or Neptune in Pisces.

No I am not; this is just me but i think Pluto is more subtle, more introverted than Uranus; while Neptune is more nebulous, chaotic, and volatile and definitely more subtle than Uranus. Pluto and Neptune have more time to influence society than Uranus. Again Uranus takes 7, 8 years, Pluto 10-20 years and Neptune 14 years in each sign to orbit around the Sun.

Uranus is a focused stubborn chaotic energy with it's own agenda. While Uranus has only been in Taurus for a little under 2 years. It's being supported by Pluto in Capricorn (in a loose trine) and Neptune in Pisces (in a loose sextile) who are working together to break down and change the way we are as a Western Capitalist society (in the financial/money/possessions/values (Taurus), job/career (Capricorn), social/relationship, health/spirituality/ETC. (Neptune) sectors of life and society.

Under Uranus in Taurus (and it's Twisted Sisters Neptune in Pisces, Pluto in Capricorn) we got to be creative and not fall into consumerism, normalize debt, overspending and living way above our means. We got to be both financially independent, savvy and fluid.

Honestly with this Coronavirus thing again, Uranus in Taurus is not only rebelling against society but also its' self; its own nature.

Uranus in Taurus in the Time of La LaRona is telling us

- To create our own abundance and sense of beauty (SELF)

- Reject or rethink the style of modern material abundance that Capitalism has let spring out of control (SOCIETY)

-To create material abundance by way of sustainability: via minimalism, thrifting, going against fast-fashion, veganism, do it yourself mentality, etc. (SOCIETY)

- To create new and more creative personal value systems when it comes to earning and maintaining material abundance (such as money, possessions) (SELF)

- etc.

Since we (as a society) have been under "shelter in place" "social distancing" orders we have:

-cut back on spending, created budgets, and rationing food.

-hoard and price gouging (not all of us BTW)

-since more of are us working home/this is also a time to question and expand our ideas of where/how we can make money and looking into more technology driven streams of income (YouTube, freelance, Etsy/dropshipping, etc.).

- making due with what we have and using our resources smartly and more efficiently.

- Do it yourself mentality (learning how to cut your hair, do your own nails, make masks, etc.) Example: Creating our own masks and giving them away or selling them. Or starting a local volunteer based food delivery route.

- thinking of how to protect and value essential workers and workers in general. Such as mandatory hazard pay and. Democratic Socialism is even sounding more appealing to alot of people. This is Saturn in Aquarius territory too but Uranus in Uranus's realm to since the 2nd house is all about values (material, social, physical, mental, emotional, etc.

- putting money into our savings. So much so that media articles have suggested that we should be spending not saving. Bad advice I may add btw.

This is all under Taurus's realm. Taurus when out of control (like Cancer) can hoard and be selfish and greedy with money and material possessions. Taurus though not a traditionally opportunist sign in times of need can act like the desperate scared panicked people overspending and thinking that 60 rolls of toilet paper and the ability (not anymore) to corner the market, sell hand sanitizer up to 5 times is perfectly fine. This example can be seen as a very inventive Uranus in Taurus tactic. I mean come on, Uranus in Taurus is too beautiful and too bougie to be wiping their ass with old rags.

There is an emphasis on money, values (both material and spiritual/mental) and 2nd house matters which makes a lot of sense.

In hard, heavy times like now we have to retreat and strategize how to survive. Uranus in bountiful, fertile, comfort and abundance seeking Taurus is about learning to cultivate what we have material-wise and values wise while at the same time resisting the urge to go on hedonistic, selfish binges. Uranus is trining Pluto in Capricorn so they have a friend in each other and are supporting the ideals started by Pluto in Capricorn. Uranus in Taurus is doing it's part to resist and purge. This currently is a part of our collective nature as fellow global citizens.

To quote Gandhi, "Live simply, so others can simply live."

Anyways we got 5 1/2, 6 more years of Uranus in Taurus.

These are just my observations so far.
