Laughing at your remembrance of childhood family vacation😂. My mom (on vacation) used to grit her teeth and quote scriptures about seeking peace and pursuing it...reminds me of Frank Costanza on Seinfeld screaming “serenity NOW”😂
“We’re here to have a good time, damn it!!” 😂 Dying laughing, as I listened to this after having that moment at the dinner table last night with my two younger arguing sons, being a Taurus sun myself. Fantastic as always, Adam. Enjoyed your take on the Hillman piece and can relate intensely to the concept of wanting both beauty and control and making it all look so simple, which anyone knows it isn’t, and is a true art in itself to accomplish gracefully. Thanks so much for sharing your gifts and for shedding light on all the angles, shadows included. 🙏🏽✨
I came across this video today, because of the sun in Taurus. I’m so touched by your enlightenment about the power of Bull. I’m a May Taurus w/ Venus in Taurus as well, I believe everything comes from within. Remember we’re once a beautiful maiden before we were changed into the bull in order to defend ourselves! Again thanks for your funny but touching talk today ( because of your Taurus rising)😉 best wishes for everyone in this crazy Taurus season
Wow great Hillman excerpt. It made me think of trains being like a modern bull and then cars.. also interestingly Beyond Meat just started trading publicly yesterday- they make plant based “burgers” that are realistic to dead cows. It’s like a baby step wrapped in the Uranian cloak. Ha. As a Venus Taurus person this was great to listen to - thank you-!
Oh my gawd you are HILARIOUS so true I can remember everyone screaming around dinner tables because no one wants to talk about the truth so the line “ Lets just be happy!!” LOL the absurdity considering the dysfunction never healed!
Great talk. Thanks for bringing up the theme of the potency, virility and power of Taurus. I always kind of felt like something was missing in the more popular descriptions of Taurus, like they're about beauty and nice things etc. Never felt right to me as a Taurus sun, too superficial... but this clears a lot up. Now the Taurus-Scorpio dynamic also makes much more sense to me.
I very much enjoyed your critique of Hillman’s poem and the mythology of the native bull. I’m really glad I’ve found your channel. Timing is everything. My natal Venus is at 0 degrees Taurus and natal Moon is at 3 degrees Taurus. It’s all a bit lit right now with Uranus on point in my eighth. I’ve always been an environmentalist and became a sustainability professional in while in the business world. Now I’m in graduate school and have discovered ecofeminist scholarship. My next few years will be very satisfying.
Had to leave a second comment. Just all that stuff you said in the second half of this about the taurean idealism and need for harmony that covers this detest for complexity and showing effort as well as the more bloodthirsty power hungry perfectionism that hides beneath the pronounced idyllic mask...these r all things i try to explain with taurus. I have taurus in the 12th house and south node so i naturally appear careless, easy, and sensual...but my dark power hunger and hunger for simplicity...fury at complications and anything threatening my delusional jana state of perfection. Thank you for addressing this energy! Had me agreeing out loud
Very nice…and the Hillman quote a real candidate for the foreword of my present writing. U.N. study on planetary biodiversity to be released on Monday for the Merc. entry into Taurus. Quite a ride to the up-coming Scorp full moon. Thanks continuously for your sublime guidance and presence…I'm taking copious notes...
Thanks again, Adam, for another brilliant video! My Asc is at 29 Aries, so Taurus is my full 1st House. Venus in Aries has been squaring my own Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn and will carry on to Square South Node, Saturn, Pluto, and then my own Venus and MC!... I had an important meeting scheduled for 10 May but I've managed to postpone it to 17 May, when Venus will have done all that but will be conjuncting Uranus. I'm not sure what to expect from that, but it seems to me preferrable to all the squares to all my Capricorn points... And besides Venus in Taurus feels better for me (my natal Venus being in Capricorn conjuncting my MC craves some hedonistic easing!...). And the Sun will be approaching a Trine to my Venus and MC - which feels helpful!. Saturn is retrograding back to my Saturn (within 5 degrees) and Jupiter is retrograding back to my Sun (within 5 degrees). But the North Node is almost conjunct my Mars in Cancer - and the South Node almost conjuncting my natal Saturn - which is the main opposition I have in my Natal chart - which feels like a life-long challenge - I anticipate the fatalistic aspect of the Nodes will make itself felt in whatever the outcome of this meeting may turn out to be. Other than that there are no other close aspects to my natal points on that day, so I'm relying on these influences being positive to help me face whatever Uranus might surprise me with with Venusian Grace!
Wow! I love your reading by James Hillman! Can you mention which book I can find it in or possibly post it? Definitely sharing this reading! Thank you! #Gratitude
@AdamElenbaas, I was wondering why you use whole sign houses? I sometimes do, but not often. It completely changes my chart. Usually use Porphyry.. so I'm curious. I really liked what you said about the imaginational bull. Its also very sad that we lost touch with that potent fertility and power. Heavenly Bulls and thunder. My b'day is 18 May.
Adored that passage and where you went with it...ive actually been thinking about our relationships with and worship of slash torture of animals lately...esp more domestic ones and cats and dogs vs farm animals that we see as food
You are my favorite astrologer. I have 4 planets in Taurus in the 7th house. The Hitler thing is interesting. I know you do sample readings for your students. I'd love to participate in that if possible.
The Taurus’s I relate to are the ones who are doing the spiritual work they are honest decent kind but you are right the other ones that are not.......
❤ I shall be different here. I am starting with my rising sign ♑️ 1 house Moon Aries ♈️ Vinus♀️ in Aries ♈️ Mercury in ♉️ with my Sun Jupiter at 00:06 in Gemini ♊️ with Mars♂️. Cancer ♋️ Uranus alone same as Leo with Pluto than lastly Libra ♎️ Saturn Neptune Cunjunct 22' 23' Saturn Cunjunct Vinus♀️ I felt alive and ready to go take on a new better life journey. Money 💰 coming in feeling absolutely motivated reach out for new high life journeys. Than six months and a half later 😮
Ha! Today I had a minor meltdown when my Edenic family plans for the day didn't work out and I found myself saying angrily "I just want to have a nice time together!!".....
We're in the 'Taurus Verse' season sudden sacrifice. In our early stages of earth freedom we must not worship the golden bull and break the first commandment. Sudden sacrifice of our values etc will be apparent. We work hard do everything right but karma for false worship may bring unexplained losses of the tangible. We must not stay stubborn and loose how heads.
Hi Adam! I appreciate your clear explanations. However, I am confused about the use of Whole Sign Houses. For example, I'm Sagittarian, both Sun sign and rising sign. When I use Placidus, Uranus in Taurus falls in my 5th House. Using Whole Sign Houses, it falls in my 6th. Should I take the interpretations of both houses into account? Or do New Moon reports only use Whole Sign Houses as a convention?
Adam, how does your description of Taurus as relating to yang yang/the peak of the sun seasonally, fit for those in the southern hemisphere for whom this is the autumn? I always have trouble with these conceptual astrological descriptions/significations which generalise northern hemisphere seasons to the whole planet... Any solution for this? Thanks for the great video.
Is there a way to bridge the paradox of the Taurus time of year being Autumn, not Spring, and when the light is leaving and disappearing from the Southern Hemisphere perspective? I understand you're basing the symbols on the Suns apparent movement north and south, but the outcomes of that movement create very different symbols depending where you are on the globe. Or is this part of the symbology baked into the signs really only applicable in the North? Any thoughts?
The death of the Bull of Heaven, Ereshkigal's (first) husband, maybe the whole reason for Innana's decent into the Underworld. Pluto and N.Node in this chart . . .
Your description of Taurus the ones that haven’t done the truth work or conscious awakening work-that don’t think they are addicts wow did you ever describe it in an exact manner-when they have lost their way-it’s about bulldozing bullish greed etc etc
Laughing at your remembrance of childhood family vacation😂. My mom (on vacation) used to grit her teeth and quote scriptures about seeking peace and pursuing it...reminds me of Frank Costanza on Seinfeld screaming “serenity NOW”😂

Adam i love your videos! You always bring an interesting twist to each video and a leave educated and enlightened.
I love hearing you laugh Adam 😉

Very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Very impressed with the description (from a 26 degree Taurus Sun, 16 degree Scorpio Rising with natal Uranus May 17th soul)
Earthy POWER! HOOVES!! Not just apple pie and cowboys. This was pretty amazing.
Thank you for sharing that passage from James Hillman--awesome❣️I've always really enjoyed reading his works but I never came across that one before .
Great talk. I was reminded of the stock market with its Bull and Bear symbology.

love listening to your explanations and yes the lampoons were hilarious im a taurus with leo ascendant may 14.
This was really deep, thanks

I'm a Hellenistic astrologer, so I use Whole Signs as the ancients did! I'm open to many different house systems though.

Learning so much! Thanx

Aris Romero I have the same in my chart, maybe we are both born in ‘85? Anyway I love your name.
Wow, I just can agree with you. Thank you, great your prasentation 💐🐂🐃
Vacation story! Super hero battles! Ready to swashbuckle... oh boy!
The Taurus’s I relate to are the ones who are doing the spiritual work they are honest decent kind but you are right the other ones that are not.......
❤ I shall be different here.
I am starting with my rising sign ♑️ 1 house Moon Aries ♈️ Vinus♀️ in Aries ♈️ Mercury in ♉️ with my Sun Jupiter at 00:06 in Gemini ♊️ with Mars♂️. Cancer ♋️ Uranus alone same as Leo with Pluto than lastly Libra ♎️ Saturn Neptune Cunjunct 22' 23' Saturn Cunjunct Vinus♀️
I felt alive and ready to go take on a new better life journey. Money 💰 coming in feeling absolutely motivated reach out for new high life journeys.

Lol...that was fun #TGIF
I agree without transparency and a spiritual practice. Not necessarily religiosity but a deep spiritual practice kindness integrity decency honesty.

Any thoughts?
Example, Kentucky Derby. 2 Taurus born horses involved in the most radical outcome in derby history.
Do you do individual charts? That one could pay for?
Uranus and Venus at work!
The death of the Bull of Heaven, Ereshkigal's (first) husband, maybe the whole reason for Innana's decent into the Underworld. Pluto and N.Node in this chart . . .
22:00 starts sun in taurus info
A king of swords vibe with Jupiter opposite Mars
Your description of Taurus the ones that haven’t done the truth work or conscious awakening work-that don’t think they are addicts wow did you ever describe it in an exact manner-when they have lost their way-it’s about bulldozing bullish greed etc etc
some days there are no right sides of the bed....LOL simplicity,, is Ferdinand ( the bull ) during a ritual bullfight... too funny.
Clarke Griswald :D
Incredibly Hilarious!
ok...about the sun, is only in the north of the earth
The Bull Shit! Wow no kidding.
I don’t think the entire yoga world is authentic there is some bull...poop in that too.
