Saturn-Uranian Opposition: On Again

The Saturn-Uranus Opposition is ON again!

See above link for a more detailed explanation, if you desire it.

It was big last November, last Feb and it’s exact again in September. But I felt it strongly in mid-May, on the weekend when Saturn went direct. And I am feeling it now, in the week that Uranus goes Retrograde. You see – these two energies are moving back into their opposition. They’re ten degrees apart at the moment but are what is called “applying” at the moment.

Of course, you’re more sensitive to this little bit of astro-weirding if you have planets/vital points in the path of it. If you laughed in the face of Feb, maybe it’s just a cute quirk going on in your life. It’s especially big for all the Mutables – Gemini, Saggo, Pisces, Virgo & also Aquarians + Capricorns.

It’s like a tension between the values of Saturn – time-honoured tradition, the status quo – and the values of Uranus; freedom, emancipation from all limitations…even emotional loving bonds & sentiment. So Voice One might be saying in your mind something along the lines of “you’re too old” or “you can’t fund this” or that you aren’t qualified enough. Voice Two – the Uranian one is saying “accept no convention” and “fuq normality” or “do your own thing.”

The best result from the whole thing is to see-saw between the different systems of thinking and somehow honour both. eg; individuate but do your damned paperwork. You have to pay homage to Saturn in Virgo (structures, details) before you can go wafting off into grokking Uranian genius.

Neither Saturn nor Uranus like woolly thinking, naff sentiment or set-ups that are essentially clapped out but kept on witih out of weakness. So in that sense, they get along. Between now and September is an awesome time to follow your bliss but you need the Saturnine foundations to do something truly cool.

And watch the approach to tensions generated by this opposition where you identify too strongly with either side of the opposition; ‘bad’ Saturn = over-controlling, rigid and judgemental and ‘bad’ Uranus = a total raving flake, incapable of fitting into any society, out of control.
