SATURN – URANUS OPPOSITION
1:07pm EDT, 26 JULY
World Axis, 0 degrees Aries/Libra

Since 04 November 2008, our big and outer planet players of Uranus and Saturn have been doing their periodic tour de force that occurs every 25 or so years. When you take Uranus -the planet of originality, eccentricity, and the unexpected- and put him head to head with the tradition, responsibility, and learning through experience of the karmic adjustor Saturn, the outcome is sure to bring break-through resolve to the collective energies we thus see unfold.

The first of these passes occurred the very day the United States elected their current President Barack Obama, upon 04 November 2008, while Uranus was still in Pisces and Saturn in Virgo, at 18 degrees. American humanity finally concluded that it no longer needed to discriminate what color a man’s skin is to allow him to be elected to lead their country.

The next three face-offs of Uranus and Saturn also fell within the polar energies of the Fishes and the delicate Virgin. 05 February 2009 at 20 degrees, 15 September 2009 at 24 degrees, 26 April 2010 at 28 degrees. One can certainly say since President Obama became elected –and whether you agree or disagree about the job he has performed thus far- our world has continued to become more complex and riddled with economical restructuring. Saturn in Virgo audited anyone who was not responsible, while Uranus in Pisces allowed all hidden secrets needing to be revealed to become exposed.

Hard times? Not really, if you look to the reality of the situations. Saturn doesn’t put up with people doing things in ways that they should not. He sets down serious and extremely hard lessons to learn from. Yet, if one was conducting themselves with integrity, and greed was not an element in their picture, you see who is still standing.

Now, as Saturn has now recently entered Libra upon the 21 July -while Uranus currently retrogrades at 0degrees Aries- this final confrontation promises to be an intense one as the 0degrees point of Aries and Libra is none other than that of the World Axis. Whilst the global energies at present are undoubtedly in the midst of tremendous shift, the collective is requested at this time to truly examine our responsibility to co-operation while it stirs revolutionary ideas abound about how freedom can ultimately still be attained in unions.

The world as we know it is changing. Those who resist realizing we are meant to take it all down a notch -from the materialism and excessive ways of living that have conditioned society to co-dependency- will continue to see be seen falling high off their thrones. Whilst we are meant to live better with less at this period in history, the close square of Retrograding Pluto at 03 degrees Capricorn is equally setting off a new found structure as Uranus and Saturn oppose one another that bestows we return to tradition, efficiency, and discipline within all forms of power.

There is an ultimate satisfaction the collective can tap into that deals with Saturn’s request that we relate to others more conscientiously than we ever have before. Uranus urges we brings forth new and innovative ideas that, will allow our independence to be channeled into revolutionary forms of enterprise that pioneer positive solutions for humanity. While selfishness is not part of the future, self-worth most certainly is.

And what about YOU!? But of course, you are personally affected within your natal birth chart by this historical planetary passage. The current transits of Saturn and Uranus are in opposing houses within your astrological map of the heavens, calling upon two specific areas of your life to arrive at their own conclusion about how to achieve ideal harmony. Recognizing that Saturn has what Uranus needs and vice versa in order for true completion to occur, is key to not allowing these energies to fall to resistance in your life.

So, once more, we have designed a hmmm, what shall we call this… a current SATURANUS-SCOPE? (Definitely like how these two planets can find such a perfect balance within their very letters!) From the collective horoscope perspective, you can find sound advise below as to how this last opposition will be affecting you. Remember, it is the full mathematical analysis of the natal birth chart that is equally helpful in gaining all angles of the bigger picture. Should you know your rising sign, and if it falls early within your Ascendant, (typically before 10 degrees) then read that sign’s advice, as this more often than not, will apply to your natal birth charts’ current transits.
