Uranus in Taurus or in 2nd House in birth chart

These are global energies of uranus in Taurus or in 2nd House that must be nuanced according to your birth chart, see the article Uranus in birth chart; see also the article on the general interpretation of Uranus.
The planet uranus is one of the attributes of the Animus in the chart, as such it can indicate a Projection of it, in particular more especially the intellectual projections on “social entities” (political party, club, syndicate, nation, church, etc), all that concerns more directly the affirmation of the spirituality and the social vision of the native…
It informs about our need for freedom, independence, to go towards the new, to break the Saturnian framework, and to tend towards our deepest ideals. It materializes our intuition, it electrifies us, it questions everything that is too conventional.
The planet fundamentally represents an evolutionary breaking point, of revelation, of creation.
As Uranus stays for about 7 years per sign, its position in houses is more meaningful for the personality. The energy of the sign gives above all an elemental background coloring common to a generation, which will apply more personally to the area of life signified by the house. Therefore, focus first and foremost on the house affected, as the sign gives a background tone.

A marked security / freedom duality

Uranus is in fall here; specifically, its natural energies, which are highly electric, dynamic, energetic, and unstable, are under Earth’s rulership, which, on the contrary, requires stability, consistency, reliability, and durability.
Its fall thus has the effect of reducing its impact in a way and limiting its expression to just material things, and even though as a result it’s harder to sublimate things, this planet still has a strong ability to do so !

Simply having this position may truly awaken a “security / freedom” duality for people, because their relationship with possessions and security (whether it be financial or emotional) is in fact hugely different from that of most people.

On the one hand, this planet may favor eccentricity and spending in this position, but on the other hand these people may not readily become strongly attached to things, whether in terms of social or emotional connections. This planet speaks more to a kind of sublimation by detachment, as it accentuates the need to feel free from all constraints (material or interpersonal).

In this position, it may promote revelations and reversals, perhaps most frequently through “losses”, whether they be real or symbolic, material or interpersonal, which actually force these people to open up to other sides of themselves that are more transcendent and utopian, and less no-nonsense.

It’s helpful to determine which influences of “security” or “freedom” are dominant in these people’s birth charts, because the experience of having this position will not be the same for someone with a highly Uranian birth chart as for someone with a highly earthy birth chart, for example. But what is clear is that this “security / freedom” duality needs to be “resolved” in one way or another !

Undoubtedly, people who have earth as a dominant element in their chart will have a much harder time with this position, since Uranus is like a grain of sand that gets stuck in the gears and prods at our need for stability. As the Bible tells us, we cannot have both God and Mammon as our masters at the same time, and these people bear the burden of making this choice, because every step that they take in one direction takes them further away from the other !

On the other hand, people whose Uranian energies dominate will have a much easier time “cutting out material things” and embarking upon the alchemical process of “Sublimatio”, even if it means disconnecting from reality, getting emotionally lost, and losing their bearings in general.

Uranus in the 2nd House / Taurus may show symbolically that “human values” are most important for these people; that is to say, social connections and integration into the collective take priority over purely material things.

At their best, these people may have talents that are unique, original, very creative, innate, and visionary, which they use to earn their living ! They can be found working in the fields of art (we can see the Uranian characteristics of abruptness and asymmetry in Picasso’s work) and also advertising, or even astrology, computer science, internet-based professions, or anything that relates to new technology (these people have a pioneering side), electricity, and movement, which are the primary examples of Uranian domains.

In combination with Earth’s hardworking side, which allows things to become more concrete, this can truly give these people the ability to accomplish great things and lead them to gain specialized expertise, even though the fruits of this accomplishment may still actually be more social than personal (these people may have hard time taking credit for themselves for what they have done).

Unfortunately, this positioning may lead to huge fluctuations in terms of finances, for example making it difficult for these people to maintain a steady stream of income, control their spending, and feel connected to their possessions. This planet can be fairly inflationary, just like Jupiter in the 2nd house, but in a much more explosive, unpredictable way, and people with this position may find themselves to be financially far removed from other people, either suddenly becoming wealthy (try your luck with gambling if you have good aspects !) or sinking into deep poverty, which may in fact sometimes be their choice, somewhat like bourgeois bohemians, or certain mystics who set their sights on asceticism and want to revolutionize our system of possession and money.

Having this position does not necessarily make it very easy to shoulder financial responsibilities, and may make it difficult to manage the little logistical issues of everyday life. These people may have a fierce desire to avoid all of this, though they will still have to deal with any backlash that results. They should really try to be rigorous in their management of things, bookkeeping, taxes, and various ties to administration, even though it’s tedious, because many different problems can arise in these areas, either as a result of carelessness or because of others’ ill-will (they have a high risk of being taken advantage of).

Uranus retrograde in the 2nd House and Taurus

Uranus’s Retrograde motion here tends to put the planet more in touch with Earth values, along with all that this might imply in terms of the conflict between “security and freedom”; that is, these people may have a harder time with how this planet may break away, as discussed above.

Uranus’s retrograde motion in one’s birth chart is much less important than for other planets, since it’s a slow, transpersonal planet, and it’s retrograde for more than a third of the year (about 5 months).
Nevertheless, it’s useful to monitor the evolution of this retrograde motion through Progressions. Changes that occur here may not necessarily give rise to specific, noteworthy events, but they may indicate a non-negligible psychological change in how this planet’s energies are used.
