Uranian Taurus New Moon and Saturn in Aquarius

2020: A Revolution in Consciousness and Money
by Phillip Lindsay 6 Comments

Uranus in Taurus
As described in a recent post, the monthly balsamic phase of the moon is just
elapsing, presaging the new moon of Taurus on April 23 – planting the seed for
the following full moon period of Taurus on May 7. As the “mother of
illumination”, Taurus sheds light upon our current situation, aided at the new
moon by a conjunction to Uranus the revolutionary:

“Uranus, therefore, initiates a new order of life and conditions and this—when
developed in the life of the disciple—in its turn produces an understanding of the
causes of things as they are, and the desire to change the old order and the old orientation into the new.”1

The main configuration in the new moon chart is the sun, moon and Uranus in Taurus, all square to Saturn in Aquarius
– the sign that Uranus rules. This dynamic point of tension at the new moon fosters a radical breaking away from
tradition (Saturn) – by the revolutionary forces of Uranus, utilising the progressive energies of Aquarius.

Uranus and Taurus are both connected to money, hence a major revolution in
the financial system can certainly be brought about while it remains in this
sign until 2025; not only money but the cultivation of a better global system
of human values.

This Uranian new moon may well kickstart the process, especially now that
the price of oil has plummetted in the past few days, airlines and other big
companies are going bankrupt, millions are out of work and losing business
etc.

“Uranus … the seventh ray works through this planet and is the embodiment of the principle of concretion and the
materialising of that which is in need of objective manifestation, through the bringing together of spirit and matter. It
is here that the whole mystery of money lies hid and the creation and production of money … It is through the
relation of the three aspects of the third divine manifestation—law, affinity and concretised energy—that money is
created.”2

Uranus, the planet of the scientific mind, “falls” in Taurus, “the mother of illumination”:

“Uranus, the planet of the hidden mystery and one of the most occult of the planets
“falls” in this sign, producing the accentuation and the sharp division between body
and soul which is so marked a characteristic of the Taurian subject. It prepares the
inner [wo]man for the sharp interplay and conflict …

… The task of Uranus, hidden in the depths, is to awaken and evoke the intuitive
response of Taurus to an ever-increasing light until such time that full illumination is
achieved and also the development of the spiritual consciousness —substituting these
higher soul aspects for the lower form reactions.”3

Let us break down this passage and expand upon it:

Uranus – an “eccentric
orbit” for an eccentric 1. “Uranus, the planet of the hidden mystery and one of the most occult of the
planet! planets …”.

Uranus is a “hidden mystery” not visible to the naked eye, whereas the previous planet
Saturn can be discerned without the aid of a telescope. Uranus rules occultism and esotericism, is the Hierophant of
initiation and probably one of the “four Lords of Karma” – of which Saturn is the most well known.

2. “… sharp division between body and soul …”.

The physical body is ruled by the moon and the moon is exalted in Taurus, where
the form is glorified and the sensual nature of Taurus ruler Venus, supervenes. The
“soul” may be represented here by either Uranus or Vulcan, soul ruler of Taurus,
both “sacred” planets.

3. “The task of Uranus, hidden in the depths …”. Those “depths” are Tartarus, the
darkest place in Hades or hell, the domain of Pluto in the opposite sign Scorpio. In
the myth, Uranus imprisoned Gaia’s (Earth) youngest children in Tartarus, deep
within Earth, where they caused pain to Gaia:

“Tartarus, a place of complete darkness, as was also the region of profound

dreamless sleep in Amenti. Judging by the allegorical description of the
punishments inflicted therein, the place was purely Karmic.”4

Hence, Uranus rules the hidden Mystery Teachings that lead from the darkness of Tartarus: “The deep abyss
ignorance, releasing from Humanity’s self-created hell. And Taurus is the “mother used as a dungeon of torment
of illumination”, where the acquisitive nature of Taurus – via its ruler Venus (ruler and suffering for the wicked
of the fifth ray of science or mind), pours light into the deepest shadows; this is and as a prison for the Titans.
brought about by acquired knowledge transformed into wisdom/intuition, through
the application of that knowledge in every day life experience.

4. “The task of Uranus … is to awaken and evoke the intuitive response of Taurus to an ever-increasing light, until
such time that full illumination is achieved”.

The result is a Buddha, who has achieved “full illumination”. The Wesak
festival is dedicated to the Buddha – the One who incarnated, became
illuminated and passed – in the sign of Taurus. Uranus is also a planet
associated with earthquakes and sudden disruptions. Uranus in Taurus
particularly evokes the hidden depths of the Earth, symbolised by the giant
caverns in Tartarus.

Taurus has many characteristics similar to the third ray of active-intelligence,

one of whose symbols is the labyrinth, the Minotaur’s maze, reflecting the
tortuous twists, turns and complexities of the ramifying mind. The Minotaur
is a mythical creature – with the body of a man and head of a bull, reflecting
man’s animal nature, still not fully “human”.

Buddha (Artist: Francis Donald) Hence the minotaur represents

the shadow or “dweller in the
labyrinth”, the untamed mind
combined with desire of the bull – becomes a “monster”. The minotaur’s
maze is a labyrinth of intellectual circuits and knowledge – in which seekers
can become lost, devoured or dominated by their own thoughtforms.

The Minotaur’s maze also describes where Humanity is today, trying to

discern the state of the world and thereby developing an expanded
awareness, emerging from the “hall of ignorance” into the “hall of learning”
and passing through a mass initiation.

Saturn rules the first decanate of Aquarius

“During the Aquarian age and during one third of its expression, that is,
Minotaur (Picasso)
during the first decanate, esoterically considered, the vitalising of the
human centre (spiritually considered) and in relation to the Plan and the
steady growth of widespread creative activity, both in the individual and the race, will be increasingly seen.

This will be due to the work and influence of Saturn, which is governed by the third ray. This is the planet of
opportunity, of discipleship and of testing – and the race can look for an increasing expression of Saturnian activity as
that great divine Life continues His beneficent task.”5

The Age of Aquarius begins in 2,117 (esoterically and astronomically), less

than one hundred years away – hence its close proximity is felt during this
cuspal period – by those who aspire to Aquarian ideals and progressive
thinking:

“Prior to the present time, only a few pioneering disciples and a handful of
intelligent people could be regarded as freely choosing at the “point of
balance” the way that they intend “to tip the scales.” Today, there are
countless numbers and hence the intense activity of Saturn as we enter into
the first decan of Aquarius and hence the same activity because humanity
itself now stands upon the probationary path.”6

Those “countless numbers” are currently being stimulated and woken up in

their millions, due to this planetary pandemic. A mass “reversal of the wheel”
is taking place, closely preceding the first initiation – the awakening of the soul within. Saturn’s rulership of the first
decanate (10° sub-section) of Aquarius is profoundly instructive for what is unfolding in the world today – as
transiting Saturn enters this sign for the first time in thirty years:

“Saturn is the planet of discipleship and of opportunity; it is exceedingly active

today, presenting to the world disciple those difficult situations and crises which will
involve free choice, discriminative pioneering, wise response and correct decision,
thus bringing about the destruction of that which hinders – without the relinquishing
of any true values of which humanity may be aware.

The individual disciple has always been faced with these conditioning and releasing
circumstances, and today humanity itself is in the same position. We stand at the
gateway of the new world, of the new age and its new civilizations, ideals and
culture. Saturn, having offered opportunity and proffered us a choice to bring about
the needed changes and to destroy that which holds back the free expression of the
soul..”7

The opportunity is now, “involving free choice, discriminative pioneering, wise response and correct decision” –
especially in the light of personal freedoms and totalitarian governments. Hence, the mental conflict and difficulty in
discriminating global events and making right choices:

“As the result of this unfoldment, conflict supervenes and Saturn offers
opportunity to suffer and, through suffering, to learn to choose rightly, to
analyse correctly and to decide upon the higher values. … for the first time in its
history, humanity is beginning to mount the Fixed Cross of the disciple, thus
reversing its progress upon the circle of the Zodiac. Humanity—as a whole and
owing to the large proportion of aspirants and thinking idealists—is entering
Aquarius, via the open door of Saturn.”8

As the Aquarian Age draws near, with Humanity far more conscious than thirty
years ago (1990) – when Saturn was last in Aquarius, this current Saturn cycle is
truly one of great opportunity, that will be aided by the ingress of Jupiter into
this sign, pairing up with Saturn on Dec.20, 2020.

“The activity of Saturn, producing a dividing of the ways and a proffering of opportunity to those who can avail
themselves of it. We shall have, therefore, a period of discipline and a cycle wherein choices will be made, and through
these discriminating decisions humanity will enter into its birthright. This influence is now being strongly felt.

The work of the first decanate [of Aquarius] will enable many to make those choices and efforts which will enable
them to raise the lower energies into the higher centres, and to transfer the focus of their attention from below to
above the diaphragm [preceding the first initiation].”9

Saturn and Money

Saturn is the ruler of the third ray of active-intelligence – the major ray of money and
the only ray to pour through Libra, the main sign of money, ruled by Uranus esoterically
– and where Saturn is exalted. Aquarius is a distributor of energies flowing freely and
shared through the body of humanity.

Hence, Saturn’s position in Aquarius will certainly stimulate that flow, complementing
the earlier passage describing the relation of Uranus to money. And of course, the
whole thrust of this article discussing the new moon-Uranus conjunction in Taurus –
square to Saturn in Aquarius. The first ashram to externalise before/after 2025 will be
the third ray ashram – those souls who are money experts:

“Groups of spiritually-minded financiers who are conscious members of an Ashram will take hold of the world economic
situation and bring about great and needed changes … The first Ashram to do so will be that of the third ray; by the
time disciples appear from that Ashram, the world will be ready for an all-over financial adjustment; the “principle of
sharing” will be a recognised motivating concept of the new civilisation.

This will not involve beautiful, sweet and humanitarian attitudes. The world will still be
full of selfish and self-seeking people, but public opinion will be such that certain
fundamental ideals will motivate business, being forced upon business by public opinion;
the fact that the new general ideas will in many cases be governed by the expediency
of interplay will not basically matter. It is the sharing that is of importance.

When the “adjuster of finances” (as an advanced disciple from this Ashram is called in
the Hierarchy) appears, he will find conditions greatly changed from those now
prevalent.10

Terrence Stamp as It is said that at least 50% of the world’s money must be in the hands of the forces of
“karmic adjuster” – from
light before the Externalisation of the Hierarchy can take place. It is quite likely that this
the movie, “The
target has not yet been reached today – with the domination of the “1%”, predatory
Adjustment Bureau”.
corporations and banks making huge profits, not paying their fair share of taxes etc.

But also because Humanity continues to indulge in the purchasing of luxury goods and unnecessary items in the over-
saturated retail markets of the world. The Covid19 “intervention” has put a temporary brake upon spending, but when
lockdown finishes, will it be business as usual for the 1% and 99% alike?

Uranus in Taurus square Saturn in Aquarius might finally turn the tide – these two planets will remain in square to one
another, on and off until the end of 2022.
