Post-Saturn-Uranus Opposition Mash-up
Soooo, Saturn has just opposed Uranus AGAIN and it does so a few more times before moving on. Most notably next April, which is when you get to check out how you are doing with the Saturn-Uranian evolutionary process.
This has been raved on and ON about on this site so you can use the search engine or tags to explore previous rantings but in short, think of having to establish a strong new grounding for yourself (Saturn) to get the space, self-expression and freedom that you need…Uranus. And having to use Uranian individuation/innovation to get the Saturn structure right. Somehow making each serve the other.
And that all of society is doing this, one way or another. It began late last year, climaxed in Feb/March, this week just gone and will do it again from April to mid-2010. So, how are you doing with it? And what’s the plan for balancing out Saturn-Uranus energies in the next eight or nine months….???
Helping: The Auspicious Aqua Weirding – Chiron and Neptune are near together in Aquarius (the sign ruled by Saturn AND Uranus) – and Mars in Leo from mid-October…Fear is not an option and nor is fuqed hair.
I am totally doing this: am trying to get a new job as a dance instructor (danced for years) which would make me immensely happy, and am doing a lot of focused creating-the -future a la the Law of Attraction -which I believe is responsible for me even finding that position advertised. PS: I turned the same job down about 10 years ago when I was too young to believe I could be successful at anything.
Yo! I am scheming to take 6 months leave from my ick office job, but rather than quit altogether as previously planned, I’ve now asked my boss for leave without pay as a security back up.
And, rather than piss off travelling spending my entire life savings, I’m trying to buy a little seaside escape in which to spend my time off doing eco/creative pursuits. using my savings on my own mortgage instead of someone else’s!
Will return to ick office job to replenish funds, before hopefully moving back to seaside oasis to continue blissful sustainable life!
Grokking the mash-up!!
flamenco fish – that sounds really cool and it’s along the lines of the options I am considering.. Same deal: ick office job, but the pay is reasonable (for this part of the world, where I don’t have to choke on bus fumes and deal with spew on the street outside pubs as i walk thru the city to work – that was then)
and the eco-creative pursuits is way up on the list if not no. 1. ‘
but my mind needs challenging – uranus hitting on my Sun in the 9th I guess – so am considering going back to Uni.
could go on (and on) but won’t 4 now
UP that sounds so awesome! A mind challenge is always good. I am about to finish my Masters and have now got no idea what to use it for, but at the end of the day it was so bloody brilliant to exercise my synapses.
hey maybe you could look at learning a language too, that’s always a bit of mental gymnastics!
Your location sounds lovely (no bus fumes!) and high-5 for the eco-creative pursuits!!!!
i think everyone of us feels lil bit like that girl in the tree right now, good choice mystic
The timings that you state Mystic so resonate with me.
I got married, bought a house and realised the job I’d taken up as an offer was a dead end of bitchiness and evaporating aspirations. My self belief was at its lowest in 8 years.
Told employer in Feb I was looking for another job and in March when they asked when I was going I said on the spur of the moment this Friday. And left. Moped around morose for a while and decided I needed to find a job that required autonomy, would survive any recession because of necessity and would leave me the option of continuing to work as I got older. (who the hell wants to retire? I can think of nothing worse)
Have been working like a trojan fast tracking a degree in secondary school teaching (I do like a challenge), have met some truly marvellous people (not locals. I hate this town but family situation keeps me here) and am enjoying my life immensely. 2005 was a turning point really. This year has been a complete turn around.
To all and sundry, I highly recommend a scope for your future done by Mystic. It has been a document of guidance when at my lowest.
Thanks Mystic. I find a lot of things I need for my soul via your site here, especially the postings by your interesting and hilariously blunt followers.
XX
She gives good guidance, doesn’t she?
care to share what sign you are Anonymous? I’m just curious to know what sign couldn’t think of anything worse than retiring – Virgo? Cap?
I would actually LOVE to retire… still have plenty of activities and hobbies that would keep me busy though.
Aqua everything lol.
I’m doing it & fear isn’t an option sometimes.
I seem to have Saturn squaring Uranus (exact today) as a natal transit for the next two weeks… I am definitely finding that there is nowhere to hide.
Even though for my own good, I’ve come to LOATHE this Saturn and Uranus thing that for the most part squares my Ac and Mars. I mean, everytime Mystic states they’ve done a direct opposition hit and that there will be more I think “are they not done yet for gawds sakes?”
But a lesson it is and so I humbly acquiesce.
You gave a great “eureka” flash with this thread Mystic when you stated Saturn and Uranus will oppose again most noteably next April. That’s when taxes are due here in the U.S. and so must stay vigilant until then since once that passes I’ll have more extra money. I really hate the rules of this game however but the stars do give an inside edge…Thanks!!
And even though I need to save for the future (I agree about the reitrement thing Anonymous)….. just this morning googling Fiji and dreaming about those clear, lovely waters….
Oh dear, the island drums are calling again.
i have been thinking a lot about the S-U opposition. The way I’ve been interpreting it, I have been diligently working away at the Day Job and minimising Boat-Rocking, while scratching my head wondering Where TF is this Uranus flash-magic that I hear so much about. Like, I’ve applied for the cool fun jobs, researched the uni degrees for my alternative career stardom, bought the OS ticket to fire up imagination. But I just don’t have the ‘eureka’ flash to really inspire me – there’s just too many options other than the Cube Farm. I mean, I simply can’t decide. I need guidance!
there are probably sublimated urges to overturn desks and phone my boss saying “i hate my job! I’m dying of Boredom! I Quit!” (who am I kidding, it’s not sublimated) but at the same time why bother? Help! Am I drowning in Saturn? Will uranus come back to bit me on the er, bum?
then at the same time I have been heavily researching the 3rd/9th house (DK Foundation and Astrology.com = some rather good info for amateurs) and maybe I AM doing it right. 3rd house, saturn, I figure, well for the past 2 years i have been building my professional and personal networks like crazy, working on communication skills, yada. and 9th house, well through all these networks, I am expanding my philosophy on life, learning about other viewpoints and not judging them, and well the uni studies were already happening.
so bla bla, my point is maybe saturn uranus for some is not some instant revolution thing over 5 oppositions but can’t it also happen, like, quietly? is that cos saturn has a grip on me? should I be getting out the bolt cutters or is this all cool. anyway if you’ve read this far, here’s a gold star..!
Unpredictable Pisces, I am finding that for me, at least, the latest round of the SU opposition has been about realizing what practical structures and hard work I have to put in place to make real the magical Uranian dreams.
And none of these dreams is new, but for me, the magic is in realizing that I actually *can* achieve them with a bit of work and some strategic thinking. Of course, helpful Uranian bolts from the blue are welcome, but the funny thing is, to quote that old saying, the harder I work, the more luck I have!
For me, this translates to appreciating the day job for its ability to pay the bills, help me develop certain skills but most importantly to give me time to study journalism and stay involved (in a way) in politics. I’m still aiming to be in the same field of communications/policy/public issues but in a very different way that will allow me to engage more on my terms. I’m presently trying to figure out how to ensure that I have the $$$ needed to buffer my eventual move (that’s the next bit in the cycle, I think!)
I think often we focus on outward circumstances and obvious changes, but perhaps there are subtle internal shifts that are in their own way radically altering your reality?
Oh, and forgot to add: in terms of making choices from the myriad glittering options – you *can* do it all (just not all at once – yes I know, it’s unfair) and sometimes, just sometimes the option that resonates most deeply for you is the one you keep telling yourself that you can’t do/it would never work/if you really wanted to you’d have done it already. Which option scares you so much that you get little thrills of excitement and fear whenever you think about it?
hi CBA, thanks, yes your comments resonate bigtime – and I actually know exctly what you mean in your second post – there is that one (well they all do but one just a bit more) option that i have toyed with since I first thought about it around 15 years ago (!) and involves unbridled creativity, colour and fun! and travel
hmmm
it is v late so only s ahort reply from me but thanks..
My life has 100% turned upside down – that transiting uranus is on my mid heaven and the mighty upsetter saturn has been progressively conjuncting my natal jupiter, pluto, and soon IC, sun and uranus – using your wisdom and working with the astro of my chart I feel as though my life is finally on track and I have taken charge of it and my destiny. I am entirely appreciative of all the good advice you’ve given Mystic – the skype consults always throw up something new when I go back to them and read them later on – even months later. Using your interpretation of my personal heavens to guide me even though so much still isn’t ideal it all feels a lot more authentic and right place right time than it ever has. I feel grounded even though some stuff is def wacky. I have been able to voice things I have never in my life acknowledged over the last few days as it hit pluto. My world can only get better and it wasn’t that bad to start with – not compared to pre saturn returns which was a jupiter cycle ago. THANKS my life is a better place because of your knowledge and unique perspective. Relocating to the place of my mars neptune crossing has been mad tho – bitten by venomous spider LOL Blessings to you and yours Mystic.
This Saturn-Uranus thing has actually gotten me up off my bumm to try some outrageous new things…after many years of postponing and rationalizing. Very refreshing.
Quite bizarre isn’t it…I’ve finally twigged that the Saturn elements in my life that always felt needed more & more “work” have melded into an inner foundation that feels individuated, authentic & resilient. Fuqed hair, here I come!
Saturn-Uranus evolution
Last November was my awakening that I could no longer continue doing a job that was not good for me. This job was wrong for me in every sense from area, company & industry. In fact I could not have picked a worse job! I was scared to leave because of the economy & my fears in general.
In Feb/March I quit as my health was now suffering. So it’s been 6 months & I have been sorting out myself, giving myself the time to grow & heal from past events. The universe has been generous & I am taken care of while I do this.
Even though leaving my job was hard, as I thought it was a big part of security, it actually was a blessing in disguise.
I haven’t been so fortunate in this life & quitting my job did not make me feel so great however I promised myself that I am going to trust this, learn from this & do this for myself.
It’s a work in progress……….
Hmmmm, the Saturn Uranus thing has been at the exact same time as my Saturn Return, so I knew I was coming in for some serious growth, but didn’t quite realise I had a dual thing happening. I know I still have some major grokking to do – and I suspect I know where it will be in my life…. I just wish I had as clear a path ahead as some of the others above! I sometimes think I know where I want to go, along comes Uranus, and throws it all out again, so I have to knuckle down to Saturn to polish some sort of diamond from the gravel of Uranus. I’ll get there, but criky I’d love some sort of clear path!!
Saturn/Uranus + Merc Retro brought me this thing called “Rootkits” – apparently named for some techie reason tho’ the not very amusing irony is that the name is quite apt since they basically ROOT your computer.
So this “rooting kit” hijacked my system, deleted MY user profile and permissions (humph!) disabled all my firewalls, anti-virus/anti-spam/malware software, corrupted my system files and my computer is now part of some mysterious “botnetwork” in which shady hacker type characters who live in darkened rooms on a diet of pizza can get up to nefarious activities using MY pc and ISP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geez get a life guys …
Anyhoo now I have to completely reinstall everything from scratch, plus change all my passwords which I can’t remember in the first place AND advise my bank that my account “could have been compromised” …
I’ve been talking to tech-heads all week and am OVER IT. That’s what Retro Merc in the 3rd house of Comms brings ya!
Not Happy Jan.
Jeez prowln, that sucks! What a merc retro hassle. I can’t believe they got through firewalls etc.
on a non tech note Prowlin, how’s the new neighbour going?
do you have a mac prowln? Im guessing you do – wtf is up with that I thought we were unhackable? or is it something that was installed on your machine that made it hackable – soz this is entirely nerd oriented nothing to do with astro – can any mac user get rooted?
prowlers – THAT SUX!! lotsa love w PC etcs renewal xox
Yeah it did sux Uber and RLP!!!! It sucked more than the suckiest thing ever. But all fixed now plus nice clean system with no crap on it suits the current Virgo astro vibe and my anally tidy tendancies.
whatever …. nope it’s a pc not mac. I’m not a mac fundamentalist – too expensive. However you are right hackers don’t tend to target the mac operating system because it’s not worth their while – not enough users to bother with plus this virulent hatred for all things Microsoft.
shell … he hasn’t moved in yet, but we caught up last week. Overall I have a good vibe about the whole thing even if it’s not particularly romantic at this stage.
Oy Vey! me above AGAIN!
good to hear all is well now. If that had happened to me i would have been a complete mess but i have a Mac so not likely to happen and i do back up frequently.
Nice to hear that you have good vibe about the neighbour. Just take it slow and enjoy
it is so worth paying a few extra dollars for a mac – and in fact they cost about the same these days.
hope you got it all sorted – nothing worse than wasting hours of your life on hold to tech support.
Very interesting Mystic.
I’m due to end my current job in April 2010. And yesterday I turned down the offer of a new job that I know I would have LOVED and been brilliant at and would have been good cred and all that, but I just knew I’d be wedded to a new organisation, working 6 days a week, sacrificing me time for the cause, yada yada, like have done for past four years. So I said ‘no thanks, my next job needs to give me enough space and time to do my own creative projects again’… And I didn’t even notice the Saturn-Uranus thing was going on…
good onya lex….
good for you Lexi!!
I’ve been thinking and thinking about this.
S/U is in my 2nd/8th.
The 2nd bit I get, cause I have a real need to get very saturnish re my resources, primarily that of time management and effective/productive application of intellect resources. ie. need to stop faffing about and get to some systematic productivity going on with my phd.
In 8th aspects, although I’d love to think if I get to my work it’ll somehow manifest as great shagging, I think I’m going to have to accept that actually, as CBA said, it is in part recognising what’s already been given. My working relies on other people’s money, namely schols, govt grants etc, and I’ve been blessed, after years of slog, in that regard, in the past year.
In Nov I also managed a bit of pride swallowing to request assistance of other people’s money to allow me the freedom to do saturn like slog – but on the thing that was creatively important to me, the phd – rather than other mundane money earning crap.
So it would seem now that I’ve got to repay that with some work. sigh.
Though maybe if I manage my time better I’ll also be better at dedicating a bit of it to others, and the shagging will flow….
It is also true though that I get a lot of insight into myself and what is important to me physically and spiritually through the research I do. I have managed to construct it so that it is a learning processes personally and hopefully more broadly applicable.
i dont know why but the saturn uranus opp just hasnt been a huge theme for me… or maybe just overshadowed by other stuff? saturn in the 5th-uranus in the 11th…perhaps just not very ‘obvious’ houses to deal with. im always pretty free with my friendships etc, so thats all good, and being sensible re: creative pursuits, ideas of breeding… yep, kinda naturally am anyway. so maybe just isnt a heavy transit for me?? hmmm.
whereas the eclipses changed my WORLD.
Yes I think eclipses may have had more kick for me to. though I guess S/U is a slower, ongoing process.
Totally agree with you, CBA. This whole Saturn-Uranus thing seems to be giving a lot of us the determination to finally see long-held dreams slowly becoming our reality.
I’ve been writing short stories ever since I was a kid, and as I got older always thought of sending them off when I saw competitions but something would hold me back.
Now, I’ve sent off five short stories and 1 magazine article this year, and I’m not done yet.
Believe in yourself, peeps, no matter how rocky the road ahead looks. You’ll get somewhere in the end.
