I bought a house around when Uranus went into Taurus. I exchanged contracts and completed in June 2018. However the stress of the back and forth was going on in March to May. I see that more as my pluto transit as it went into my 4th and was trining my moon and Saturn (Saturn rules the 4th) so it is difficult to know what Uranus in Taurus means for me. I have had planned to set up my therapy room and work from home which is done now so that could be the correlation and generally feeli g more settled in my new area. It all happened quite quickly too (I have natal Taurus opposite Uranus …but mid degrees). By whole sign Uranus in 8th would go into 8th and I did get gifted some money to help with my deposit.
Very interesting about St Patricks Day and Venus, hadn’t thought of that. And Ireland is a Taurus country, Venus-Green, slow, beautiful, musical, and run by the banks… Of course that’s only the chart from 1916 Uprising but it sure fits.
I had always assumed that the christian takeover of pagan festivals was the reason behind that date, 17th March. The Roman church shifted all festivals a day or two forward or backwards, presumably because they couldn’t stop people celebrating these natural points on the yearly wheel but still they wanted to make some kind of statement and/or perhaps mess with the natural power of these moments.
At this latitude (ca 51 North) the 17th is often the 24 hour period of equal day and night. The exact moment of sunset is hard to judge of course because of refraction from the setting sun so I am only going according to astro.com.
