Social isolation is the worst for Taurus

This post is for my fellow Taureans. It is a Taurus-centric post.

It applies to Taurus rising and probably, to a lesser extent, Moon in Taurus.

And to those, of course, who still have a Taurus in their lives, or want to.

In early October 2012, Saturn abruptly entered Scorpio, Taurus’s solar 7th house, for the full transit.

Thus began just over two years of relative social isolation for Tauruses.

Social isolation is the worst for Taurus.

As humans, we can put up with deprivation in certain areas and facets of our lives better than others, but relationship deprivation is especially hard for us.

Especially for Taurus.

After all, like Librans, Taureans are ruled by Venus.

I don’t even want to think about what double and triple Tauruses had to endure.

The difficulty of a Saturn transit is proverbial.

No matter where it is happening, a Saturn transit makes for challenges with a capital “C.”

So for awhile now, Saturn has been in Taurus’s house of relationships.

Relationships that had sustained us for years suddenly ended.

Completely. 

And new relationships did not just spring right up to replace the old ones.

Nobody filled our relationship openings.

The thought that this was all somehow for the best and we really needed to be shut of all the relationships that had evaporated - that thought did not console.

Philosophical truisms often don’t help where matters of the heart are concerned.

Although relationships that were solid enough likely survived Saturn’s testing.

I mean, most Taurus’s held onto SOME relationships.

It seems to me that this particular Saturn transit of Taurus’s 7th house was especially difficult.

It partook of the intensity and extremity of these times.

And, now, toward its end, it partook of June’s off the charts intensity.

This really wasn’t just any 7th house Saturn transit.

By now, we Tauruses bloody well feel like our 7th house has been well and truly transited by Saturn.

While it was at its peak, Tauruses plumbed the depths of isolation and relationship disappointment.

Truly, we began to wonder if we’d ever have friends to count on again!

I know. It sounds overly dramatic.

But I’m positive that this desperate thought passed through a lot of Taurean minds more than once during this Saturn transit.

But I’m here to tell you that the worst is probably over now.

I think Tauruses are beginning, correctly, to feel that lasting relationships are possible again.

Beginning just before Christmas 2014, in a relative few months, Saturn will begin its transition into Sagittarius and out of Taurus’s 7th solar house.

It will retrograde back into Scorpio during the summer of 2015 and re-enter Sagittarius for the full transit in mid-September 2015, but by next summer Saturn's 7th house effects will be mostly spent.

BTW, I can see why Scorpios might be interested in this news, too.

Anyway, I think Taureans can now breathe a huge sigh of relief.

It feels as if Saturn is already loosening its icy grip on our social life.

We are beginning to sense the emergence of relationships that will stick.

I’m positive that some of the relationships beginning now will be fulfilling and enduring.

It’s like, having trodden on relationship quicksand for so long, all of a sudden, relationship ground is feeling firm beneath our feet again.

The long relationship drought is ending!

I’m guessing that a lot of Taureans suffered this relationship deprivation in typical stoic silence, so not a lot of people probably realized quite what was going through Taurean minds ... and hearts.

And if you were one of those people who wanted to form a bond with a Taurus but couldn’t get through Saturn’s barricades, well you, too, should take heart.

Taurus’s long winter of social isolation is ending.

At long last. ~Carl Boudreau
