SIGN LANGUAGE

Taurus

As discussed in Chapter 4 of our publication, “When to Buy and When to Sell: Combining Easy Indicators, Charts, and Financial Astrology” (available on Amazon), and our Sign Language – Introduction blog dated 3-24-24, the zodiacal signs are part of every individual and business birth charts, based on date and time of birth, incorporation, or first public trade date (on an equity index). 

     As documented, the general/mundane zodiac begins with the sign of Aries (as the 1st house), and the houses then move counter-clockwise around the zodiac wheel, until they reach the 12th house, completing the cycle. Also noted is the fact that the 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 11th are the financially focused houses, though others can have minor influences. On our website will periodically discuss these energies regarding the mundane (general collective) and the U.S. Stock Market first trade date chart. 

     Today’s focus is the sign of Taurus, which resides in the 2nd house of the zodiac (based on the Aries Rising chart). Taurus is an Earth, fixed, female sign, ruled by Venus. Some of its attributes include grounded-ness, stubbornness, reliability, and a slow pace. Taurus is a major money-themed sign, which it has in common with Venus, a major money- themed planet. Financial categories represented include one’s own employment, income, possessions, work ethic, and the concept of money itself. Taurus is symbolized by the Bull, which is also the positive trend signifier of the equity markets. Taurus “season” (when the Sun is traveling through the sign of Taurus) generally runs from April 20 to May 20 annually. Whenever a specific sign “season” occurs, the Sun shines its energies and brings it to the forefront, and the Sun just happens to be in its “home” sign of Taurus for the U.S. Stock Market. 

      Historically, seasonal volatility is common during this time frame, though each year can be slightly different, of course, depending on macro events and planetary transits/aspects.  

      The completion of the current Mercury Retrograde period (see Trader Transits blog dated 4-1-24), which began on March 14, and will end today, April 7, and the Venus Retrograde, which started March 1, and will end next weekend, April 12, should relieve some of the volatility that has continued for months. Last year, Taurus season experienced a Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, in Taurus (see Trader Transits blog dated 4-3-24), on April 20, which was also the date of the last Bitcoin halving event.  

      This year’s Taurus season is relatively quiet concerning planetary transits, before the coming astrological “storm” of Gemini. The planet Mercury will enter the sign of Taurus on May 10th, symbolizing a potential refocusing on communication around the topic of digital money. As the “sharp-tongued” aggressive Mars ruled theme of Mercury in Aries gives way to a more grounded sign of Taurus (ruled by Venus), cooler heads may prevail, with the hopes of a less volatile stock market, at least for a short period. Mars itself returns to the sign of Leo, where it spends the entire season of Taurus, signifying one’s focus on their own finances, including CEO’s and world leaders. 

      As discussed in several previous blogs, both Mercury and Venus will have completed their recent retrograde periods, which wreaked havoc on the financial markets, by April 7 and April 12 respectively, and a clearer picture of the economy and markets may develop.  

      As the planet Uranus spends its last days in the sign of Taurus, after 7 years, it will ingress to the sign of Gemini, right after the start of Gemini season, which will be discussed in an upcoming blog. Sectors of focus will continue to be cybersecurity, space exploration, AI, electric vehicles, and transportation, with expected volatility. 

      Finally, all birth/natal charts are unique, and every individual (or business) possesses its own set of planetary and sign positions in each house.
