(April 20-May 20)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): We interrupt your regularly scheduled horoscope to offer insights about the virus-driven turning point that the whole world is experiencing.
As you've probably guessed, all of us are being invited to re-evaluate everything we think we know about what it means to be human. I refer to this unprecedented juncture as The Tumultuous Upgrade or The Disruptive Cure. It's a phase fraught with danger and potential opportunities; crisis and possible breakthroughs.
And while the coronavirus is the primary driving force, it won't be the only factor. We must be ready for more Rough, Tough Healings disguised as Bumpy Challenges in the coming months.
Here's the astrological lowdown: Throughout 2020, there is a rare confluence of three planets in Capricorn: Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter. They are synergizing and compounding each other's impacts—interweaving in ways that confound us and rattle us. In the best-case scenario, they will also energize us to initiate brave transformations in our own personal lives as well as in our communities and nations.
Below is a profile of each planet's meaning.
When we are in intense and intimate relationship with Pluto—as we are now—we're invited to dive down deeper: to see life from the soul's perspective rather than from the ego's; to seek wealth and meaning not as they're defined by the material world but as they're understood by the part of us that's eternal. Descending into the mysterious Plutonian depths can be disruptive to our conscious beliefs and intentions, but may ultimately be profoundly regenerative.
When we are in intense and intimate relationship with Saturn, we're invited to get more serious and focused; to register the fact that we don't have unlimited time and energy, but must firmly decide what's important and what's not. We're asked to be ruthlessly honest about the roles that are most likely to bring out the best in us.
When we are in intense and intimate relationship with Jupiter, we're invited to risk growth and expansion; to take proactive responsibility for seeking the rich experiences that our souls long for; to aggressively enhance our lust for life.
The Tumultuous Upgrade is coming to us through the potent mix of Plutonian, Saturnian, and Jupiterian energies. In the future, I hope to address how you might take advantage of this Disruptive Cure to transform your philosophy of life and your relationship to humanity's greater good.
The short version: Use this crisis as an opportunity to deepen your understanding of how profoundly interconnected we all are. Respond to it by upgrading the way you take care of yourself, the people you love, and our natural world.
In the horoscope below, I suggest personal shifts that will be available to you during this once-in-a-lifetime blend of planetary energies.
Possible crises in the coming months: 1. Your vision of the big picture of your life may dissipate. 2. Old reliable approaches to learning crucial lessons and expanding your mind could lose their effectiveness.
Potential opportunities: 1. You'll be inspired to develop an updated vision of the big picture of your life. 2. Creative new strategies for learning and expanding your mind will invigorate your personal growth.
