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 slower-paced. 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 a 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 regarding the U.S. Stock Market natal chart. 

      Historically, Taurus has a bullish bias in the markets, with seasonal volatility calming from Aries’ fiery energies. Each year can be slightly different, of course, depending on macro events and planetary transits/aspects. Taurus season is the host of the old “Sell in May and Go Away” strategy (see our publication and previous blogs) when investors would lighten positions until the Fall. Over the past several years, however, results have suggested differently, with July, right in the middle of the summer, becoming the 2nd strongest month of the year for equities, as well as the last two years with an unusually strong September. 

      This year’s Taurus season’s interesting transits/aspects include Uranus’ exit from Taurus, into the sign of Gemini (where it will remain until Spring of 2033), which is a major event. The shift from earth and money to air and technology, signifies further advancement in futuristic technology, after the recent pullback. This change of signs now places Uranus into a favorable trine aspect with Pluto (in Aquarius – also an air sign), also symbolizing technological advancement, for many years to come. Taurus’ ruler, Venus, will also transit the sign for the first few days of this season (until Apr 24), before also entering Gemini, while Mars will ingress Taurus the last few days of the season, potentially igniting rallies, depending on the status of the military conflict at that time. A Mercury-Mars-Saturn conjunction will open the season, certain to create some wild price action. 

      Sectors of focus will continue to be cybersecurity, space exploration, AI, robotics, quantum computing, 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.
