This is probably one of the most exciting weeks of the year, as Uranus moves into the sign of Taurus accompanied by an explosive and incendiary square to Mars. The volcanic eruptions on the Big Island of Hawaii are just a preview, and only one of the many radical possibilities that this shift can bring. This period can be erratic and uncertain, but it can also bring us the courage to implement changes that are long overdue. 

On May 15th, Uranus will return to the sign of Taurus for the first time in 84 years. For the 7 years that it is in the sign of Taurus it shakes up society on some of its most fundamental levels: its politics, its economy, and those things that sustain our lives. When Uranus first enters Taurus in May, it will do so with a bang: with an exact square to Mars just entering the Uranian sign of Aquarius. Mars/Uranus weather is unpredictable, explosive and combustible. And this will only be the 1st of 3 Mars/Uranus squares before the Summer ends. Uranus is pretty much in your face any way, and really doesn’t need any explosive entrances. Yet, astrologers sit here with bated breath waiting to see what will unfold: a sudden crisis in the economy? a long overdue shift in the tectonic plates? a radical and revolutionary insurrection? something blows up?
