On Saturday, May 17, the Sun aligned with Uranus in the sign of Taurus marking a significant shift in consciousness. Uranus is known for its “awakener” energy bringing disruption, liberation, and the need for change. With the Sun shining its brilliance on Uranus, we could see this energy amplified in the days leading up to and following the conjunction.
Uranus is a slow moving planet, taking approximately 84 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun. It started its direct motion in Taurus on January 30, 2025 and will remain direct in Taurus until July 7 when it moves into Gemini.
But right before it moves into Gemini, Uranus moves into the 27 degree mark of Taurus where it will be conjunct the Pleiadian Star System and the Sun. The Pleiadian Star System (also known as the Seven Sisters) is an advanced energy that is light years away and is supporting humanity's development, growth and evolution. Every year the Sun in Taurus is conjunct the Pleiadian. This year, however, the energy will be even more potent since Uranus has joined the party and is powerfully impacting what we are meant to realize, understand and work with.
This could feel like a shock to your energy system where new unexpected messages and understandings enter your consciousness. This energy is quantum, very expansive and chaotic. There is a quickening in the collective energy field that also makes us feel very unsettled and can relate directly to your nervous system.
So as these energies continue to come in throughout the second half of May and into early July, we're going to need to harness and practice grounding and calming the nervous system. Daily meditation and journaling could be particularly supportive during this period. If harnessed with intention, this energy can show you more of what you want, who you came here to be, and what you are being called to create.
This is also something you can shut down, turn off and not interact with. You have free will. With Taurus energy being a fixed Earth sign, it will not budge unless there is a conscious desire to do so, but resisting could feel too heavy. The universe is calling for us to evolve and with Uranus, the Pleiadian, and the Sun all working together in Taurus, they might just be able to break things open.
Herbal Support: Reishi Mushroom

Reishi Mushrooms, also called Ling Zhi and Varnish Conk, are traditionally taken in tincture form. This is an excellent adaptogenic herb. Adaptogens help our bodies deal with the negative aspects of stress such as inflammation, hormonal imbalances, increased cortisol levels, fatigue and immune function.
While this can be made into a tea by boiling the mushrooms, you’ll be missing out on a lot of the medicinal compounds.
You can find this tincture at most natural food stores, or make your own!
