Uranus In Taurus Is Going To Change Your Perspective On Money

Uranus is the unconventional innovator of the astrology world. As the planet of sudden changes, shocks, and inventions, this rebellious cosmic character is known for disrupting the status quo and bringing surprises into our lives.

Between May 2018 and April 2026, Uranus will transit through the sign of Taurus, which means it’s influencing all things related to the earth sign, like money, beauty, sustainability, values, and even our stewardship over the earth. Knowing what Uranus in Taurus means will help you better understand the current astrological vibe — and perhaps make more sense of some of the financial twists and turns going on in recent years, too.

“Uranus in Taurus creates quite a distinctive energy, because these two archetypes have such radically different expressions,” says astrologer Stephanie N. Campos. “When Uranus is in Taurus, we can expect to see Taurean topics shift drastically — and we’ve [already] seen changes related to finances, the environment, sustainability, and food production.”

What To Know About Uranus

Uranus is one of the distant outer planets, which are sometimes called “generational” planets, given their slow-moving orbits and broad influence on the collective. It takes a whole 84 years for Uranus to complete a full cycle through the zodiac, and it spends about seven years in each sign.

Known as the great awakener, Uranus’ progressive energy zaps things like a fire bolt, sending an electric shock of innovation, inspiration, and change pulsing through everything it touches. Its vibe is all about creativity, originality, and revolution, which explains so much when you learn it’s the ruling planet for quirky Aquarius.

Thanks to its maverick qualities, Uranus tends to bring technological advancements and radical changes to the areas ruled by whatever sign it's moving through — and right now, it’s in fixed earth sign Taurus territory.

When Did Uranus Enter Taurus?

Uranus entered Taurus on May 15, 2018, and will remain here through April 27, 2026, with the exception of a quick dip into Gemini from July to November of 2025. The last time Uranus was in Taurus was from 1934 to 1941.

Uranus in Taurus is currently shaking up our most unshakable values, breaking the chains of the most impenetrable systems of wealth, and evolving how we relate to the earth. By the end of this transit, these Taurus-ruled parts of our lives will likely be changed for good.

Uranus In Taurus’ Impact On Money

Uranus’s last stint in Taurus aligned with the height of the Great Depression, specifically the sweeping financial reforms that took place as a result of the economic crises and commercial banking collapses.

At the time, personal and societal relationships to money shifted extremely and suddenly, especially as contrasted by the indulgent freedoms of the roaring ‘20s. Because Taurus is associated with money, values, and matters of financial security, when rebellious Uranus is stationed in this sign, it has the potential to shift how we think about, relate to, and exchange money.

One of the most obvious money-related manifestations of the current Uranus in Taurus transit seems to be the meteoric rise of cryptocurrency. In the past years, we’ve seen crypto go from a fringe concept to becoming an accepted form of payment — something that would have been tough to imagine only a few short years ago.

Uranus In Taurus’ Impact On The Environment

Taurus is an earth sign, which means it’s associated with nature, the land, and farming, and that could be related to some of the shake-ups in the food industry.

Take the rise in alt milks as a quick example: By the end of 2020, plant-based milk accounted for 15% of all milk sales — and experts project that percentage will double by the end of 2026. (That’s the year that Uranus will finally wrap up its stint in Taurus.)

The shift away from traditional dairy toward more environmentally friendly options is very indicative of Uranus in Taurus.

How Uranus In Taurus Will Impact You Personally

Uranus obviously has a significant effect on society as a whole, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t influence our personal lives, too. As a Venus-ruled sign, Taurus is associated with material possessions and worldly wealth, but it also governs self-worth and what we consider valuable. With Uranus in this sign, we might find that our values are being shaken up and changing in ways we wouldn’t have expected.

“On a personal level, we may experience a shift in our value system or reconsider our role within the macro — and reducing our carbon footprint has never been so important,” Campos tells Bustle. “Learning to reconnect with nature and protect the natural world is an incredibly important theme during this time.”

The demand for sustainable goods has skyrocketed since Uranus has been in Taurus, and it’s likely that we’ll continue to grow our awareness of natural resources. With Uranus in an earth sign, it’s important to be innovative about your approach to the material world and stay open to envelope-pushing progress around land and resources.

If you want an even more personal read on how Uranus in Taurus can impact your life, looking at your full birth chart will give you the juiciest info. Find out what house in your birth chart falls in Taurus, then look at the themes associated with that house.

That’s likely the part of your life where you’re going to feel Uranus’ disruptive and revolutionary influence most intensely from now through 2026. For example, if Uranus is in your fourth house of domestic life, you might suddenly relocate to a new place during this transit or make some tech-savvy advancements to your home. If it’s in your tenth house of career, you might have some professional curveballs or unexpected job opportunities thrown your way throughout this period.

Uranus In Taurus: What’s To Come?

We will have Uranus in Taurus through April 2026, so there are still plenty of shake-ups and surprises to come. But remember, Uranus will transition out of Taurus and into Gemini from July 7 until Nov. 8, 2025.

Since Gemini is an air sign ruled by tech-savvy Mercury, you might notice a shift towards better communication and a little less upheaval. With Uranus in the sign of the twins, the world might feel even more flexible and open to change.

When this great, blue outer planet moves back into Taurus later this year, that’s when you can reassess your goals and do other Taurus-related things, like check in on your finances or personal values.
