Saturn in aspect to Uranus

During the twentieth century, the conjunction aspect was made during 1942 and in 1988. It offers the possibility of an effective balance between these two antagonistic planets. Apart from those born under this aspect, the energy released into the collective mind at these times can aid in the interplay between forces of order and chaos, conceivably bringing the opposites into equilibrium and allowing a space for something new to be born.

For the individual with this aspect, there should be the ability to fuse ideas with practical application, to ground and anchor those sometimes slightly intangible and ephemeral Uranian ideas, thus transferring the, from the level of mind into material existence. You should be able to take advantage of your personal resources and talents; and these can be effectively expressed through efficient organization. The flow of Uranian energy should seem more consistent and reliable; and you will be able to apply persistence and focused will to achieve your objectives. Often, you will find enjoyment from becoming involved in situations where you can create order from chaos. Whilst this may appear Saturnian in nature, Uranus is not chaotic for the sake of it, but is only disruptive in order to create the conditions for a higher order to be superimposed.

You can function in a 'bridging role', carefully restoring a balance between order and change, and re-integrating this into a new structure which is an improvement on the previous one. In modern life, where so many changes are occurring so quickly, such a role can be most important, and utilizes both of these planetary characteristics in a positive way. You have a sympathetic understanding of the past, and of the values and attitudes of conservative stability, yet also intuit and appreciate the necessity of change and evolving of social structures, organizations and individual development. You will try to integrate these threads, uniting what is worth retaining from the past with the ideas of the next step forward. Doing this, you work with both your intellect and intuitional faculties, and so reflect the next stage in human development towards the consciousness of unity.

You are likely to prefer a form of expression that involves a social contribution over and above mere participation in society; you would like to feel that you have some influence in improving things, and that your preoccupation is not totally for personal gain. This need can often give you a sense of direction in your life, and one which can absorb both of these planetary energies. If you begin to feel that you are having to keep down inner pressures of certain kinds, perhaps through a lack of channels to release them into, then it is a likely sign that you are not fluently expressing both the energies. Look at your life pattern and see which one is being repressed. In most cases, this would be the Uranus energy, as the Saturn energy, which is one of order and discipline, is often expressed through social conditioning. To free this blocked energy, more spontaneity, more experimentation, and exploration of new interests, would help. These would stimulate needed changes to happen, and so break down any fixed lifestyle patterns that are becoming inhibiting. If the Saturn energy is repressed, more self-discipline, commitment and perseverance to achieving your objectives would help. If the lifestyle lacks control, too much freedom could also lead to a loss of personal centre and stability, leaving you feeling lost and unsure of what to do or in which direction to travel. You will need to draw through the Saturn qualities of boundary-making and structure, so that your life and inner nature begin to take distinct form again, creating a stable foundation from which to work.

Saturn conjunct Uranus: The conjunction between Saturn and Uranus shows that you have the ability to give form to many creative ideas. You are unusually mature in your attitudes, which enables you to derive some benefit from everything you do. Your desire for freedom is matched by your capacity to earn it by carefully and efficiently mobilizing your resources for particular objectives. This self-discipline will always sustain you. You have a healthy respect for authority and its lessons. You also have the drive and ambition to accomplish important, long-term tasks that can assure your future security.

Your professional potentials are almost unlimited because you are not afraid of responsibility and the demands of leadership. Almost certainly, you have much to offer the world in terms of understanding and experience. You comprehend the lessons of the past, and you act aggressively to help rid the future of ignorance. These contributions should be harnessed to group enterprises or socio-political endeavors. Fields such as science, mathematics, research, politics, the occult, and especially teaching are some of the areas in which your talents would be useful.

You are most comfortable in the company of rugged individuals who have high aims and ideals. You need to associate with adventurous types whose grip on the future is firm. People 'on the move' and on their way up in the ladder of achievement are those to whom you can relate meaningfully. You are impatient with trite, superficial people, since you doubt that they can serve the needs of the masses. Your life has purpose and direction, and your closest associates have similar goals.

You must relax periodically in order to recharge your energy centre. You can easily drive yourself too hard, unmindful that your physical reserves are being depleted. When tired, you may become pessimistic about plans that would otherwise seem to be going well.

Saturn conjunct Uranus: Two very conflicting factors are brought together here: a need to carve out an identity for ourselves, to define limits and to preserve form (Saturn), and a need to break structures, to overstep limits and to develop individuality (Uranus). Clearly, this will sometimes make it difficult to decide whether to preserve or to destroy.

Whenever we are engaged in giving life a certain shape (Saturn), we suffer from the urge to break out of or alter this shape (Uranus), and so we become tense and restless. Attempts to bring about change are impeded by a desire to proceed along fixed lines or according to a set pattern. There is no stagnation with this conjunction, but a restless activity continually generated from within, which can make the native feel insecure. Nevertheless, the conjunction does have a creative side that can be put to very good use. We regularly break free from anything that might hamper us (Saturn), and are unlikely to be rigid in our opinions. Tendencies that are too revolutionary are held in check, as is the temptation to be provocatively iconoclastic. Generally, one of the results of all this is a democratic attitude born out of tension and uncertainty.

If we are assailed by fear and doubt (Saturn), the conjunction with Uranus can really wind us up, so that disruptive tendencies are increased. The development of personality (Uranus) may be accompanied by feelings of anxiety and guilt (Saturn); we are always trying to improve situations and want to stop them getting out of hand. Therefore this conjunction often produces great self-control. With this aspect, we are very determined because Saturn and Uranus encourage stubbornness and willfulness. Uranus in full flight is a poor listener, and Saturn dragging its heels is not likely to change course. When linked with personal factors in the horoscope, this is not a bad combination for doggedly pursuing personal interests.

Saturn conjunct Uranus: If Saturn represents the effect of the father on the individual's developing psyche and Uranus indicates the behavior of a generation, the father will have some unusual or unconventional effect on the child. In the personal chart, Saturn represents the part of ourselves we are 'cautious' about; that part of personality we view with apprehension. The conjunction to Uranus can also indicate certain kinds of erratic or self-willed behavior that directly relate to a father influence. The conjunction indicates a person who may be unruly or recalcitrant about his fears. He may hang onto beliefs long after they have been proven invalid.

Since Saturn represents authority, the conjunction indicates that the individual has little respect for it; that his life is bound up in learning about his concept of authority. The Uranus influence can indicate that he has the energy (in his generation) to life the consciousness of tradition to another dimension. If the conjunction is involved with hard aspects to other planets, it can indicate an individual who wants to win at all costs.

A young person with this conjunction will be involved with group values, or the establishing of personality in the face of what he considers a stringent world. After the age of thirty, the personality will be somewhat settled and other aspects of maturity become visible.

The conjunction indicates the ability to rise above the father, to remedy the father's influence, to change and uplift the traditional. This individual may be able to bring into being a new approach to tradition because of his work and his attitude toward life. Because Uranus can represent willfulness, it's important to consider it in this conjunction - this may be the mark of a self-centered individual, one who is interested in living a personally erratic or eccentric life at the expense of those around him. When this occurs, check the other aspects in the chart that may also indicate a fear of approaching life - for instance, if the Moon afflicts this conjunction, the individual may be emotionally apprehensive, and because of that apprehension he may be excessively harsh with others.

Saturn conjunct Uranus: A powerful combination, characteristic of a person of considerable self-will, varying from the selfish and obstinate to enlightened determination. It tends to the unusual; and those having it are rarely concerned at all to please the conventional-minded. They are as a rule democratic in spirit, though autocratic in method; and they have considerable breadth of outlook, originality, and energy of mind and body. The temper is inclined to be masterful.

There is often bodily strength and hardihood if the appropriate houses are involved, but there is a likelihood of accidents and possibly of suffering violence.

The affairs of the houses occupied and ruled are likely to present difficult problems; and the native will require the utmost tact, patience, and will-power to solve them satisfactorily, for the conditions caused by these heavy planets are not likely to be ephemeral or superficial in character, but may last for years or even be life-long.

Any good aspects to the conjunction will indicate the direction from which help may be sought.

Saturn sextile Uranus

The Uranus attraction towards ideas finds fluent expression with this aspect, where there is the ability to make use of all information and knowledge that has been gained through education and experience. You will enjoy mental stimulation and intellectual pursuits, and have a high regard for the human development of mind, giving it precedence in importance, especially when it can have practical application. There may be some diminution of emotional expression, as you try to override the needs of that level, perhaps in an attempt to be rational and logical in your relationships. Some rebalancing may be necessary to prevent emotional repression and energy blockages.

You will probably have an approach which searches for and collates all necessary information that you need either for a practical project, or in order to become informed and capable of forming a personal opinion about a specific topic. You believe that decisions should not be based on ignorance or emotional reaction, and so you intend to acquire sufficient knowledge to allow freedom of decision and choice. This is part of the general efficiency and organization that you are proud of; and this, allied with a sense of self-confidence and the ability to be assertive, allows you to make full use of your natural talents.

As with the conjunction, you are likely to feel able to contribute towards group work, with those associations of people that you feel are in mental affinity with you and perceive the world in similar ways. There will be that ability to perform a bridging role, where a channel of communication can be established between those reflecting established patterns of thought and attitude and those who are struggling to clarify and express the meaning of the emerging new world order. With an appreciation and attraction to progressive ideas, yet also recognizing the value of the old and need for some stability within change, you can be effective in blending the two approaches and helping to form a viable foundation on which long-lasting development can be built. In your own right, you can contribute to the birth of the new through acting as a channel for original and inspired ideas, which you are able to ground through an ability to relate them to practical terms and by using common sense in knowing how much can actually be achieved now. You recognize that some inspiring ideas can be anchored now, whilst others require considerable changes to occur in both people and society before they can succeed. Understanding this, you will choose to work with only those that are capable of being actualized now, knowing that in succeeding with these, you are building the firm foundation for future transformational ideas to materialize later.

Saturn sextile Uranus: The sextile between Saturn and Uranus represents deep respect for knowledge and the talent to use it. You realize your own self-worth and know exactly how to capitalize on your inner and outer resources. You instinctively seek the truth in all things and will persist until you gain it. Knowing that ignorance limits true freedom, you assert that you will never be tied down by being uninformed. Your intellect is highly developed, and your comprehension is keen.

You are more efficient and self-disciplined than most people in working toward well-defined goals. Therefore you can accomplish many tasks more easily. You waste little effort because you consider your time precious. Teaching is probably your best avenue of expression, although there are many other possible courses, such as science, math, research, the occult, astrology, politics, and the management of human resources. Whatever field you choose, you are not likely to stay long at your initial level. It is essential that you continue to progress in order to develop your maximum potential output.

Although you are reasonably sure of yourself (you know your self-worth), you may always have to make allowances in your daily associations for others who are less capable or less able to reason. What is obvious to you may be obscure to them. It would be advisable to play down how much you comprehend so you don't arouse antagonism in others, who may accuse you of being a know-it-all. This is also a good reason for going into education, where you are supposed to know more than others and cannot be criticized for it.

You relate more easily to people who have gained credibility through their intellectual development, as you have. Although ignorance is the catalyst for unleashing your knowledge for the benefit of others, you are nevertheless disdainful of it. Your general well-being can best be assured by associating with people who have established demanding goals for themselves.

Saturn sextile Uranus: The sextile is more easily turned into constructive action than the conjunction. Saturn indicates the influence of the father on the individual's psyche; its sign indicates what the father causes this person to regard with caution. Uranus indicates the behavior of a generation as well as the possibilities of transformation or enlightenment in a personal sense.

When these two energies coincide harmoniously, there is potential for positive growth and awareness. As the talent is discovered and consciously applied, the individual becomes capable of working with large groups in order to make slow-moving, constructive changes in the environment.

Saturn trine or sextile Uranus: Tensions encountered in the conjunction are less conspicuous in the harmonious aspects between Saturn and Uranus because the two factors support one another in the way they express themselves. Consequently, we can structure our lives well (Saturn) within existing frameworks - social or otherwise - without sacrificing anything of our individuality (Uranus). We function in the community in a completely personal way without creating tensions in the outer world or in ourselves.

We can apply ourselves diligently to personal development, showing great determination and energy. The will is resolute and we have plenty of staying-power.

Life's ups and downs are taken in stride, and we are not easily thrown off balance. Although probably having a high opinion of ourselves, we are not blind to limitations, are prepared to give others elbow-room, and are likely to have a democratic outlook.

A balance is struck between the preservation of structure (Saturn) and the alteration of structure (Uranus), which interact smoothly to give a quiet, steady renewal. We are prepared to accept all kinds of change, and can take a keen interest in the ideas of others; but we always endeavor to integrate the new with the old or the old with the new as easily as possible. Therefore this is an excellent aspect for a legislator, since it encourages the framing of laws that, without being too rigid or too revolutionary, pay due regard to both public and private interest.

However, the tenacity and obstinacy characteristic of this aspect can make us unwilling to listen to reason. When locked on target, we are not easily diverted.

Saturn trine or sextile Uranus: This is an excellent practical combination, uniting common sense with initiative, will¬power, and nervous energy.

It is favorable for any sort of work that requires patience and prudence, combined with originality and insight. Thus it is good for organizing or for scientific work - the 'marshalling of facts' in the logical up building of a great theory (e.g. Newton, Pasteur). The same tendency is exemplified by Ulysses Grant's remark: 'I will fight it out on this line if it takes me all the summer'. This great leader had Saturn trine Uranus-Neptune, and his determination was equally well evinced by his personal fortitude in great pain. Note that, as so often with Saturn, success came late.

There should be concentration, mental and volitional vigor, quiet resolution, prolonged preparation, and drastic final action.

It favors positions of control and administration; and, to judge by examples, it seems by no means without relation to the arts. It is likely to make the native popular as a governor.

However, even the good aspects appear to be of little use as preventives of injury and violence, for they often occur in charts of victims of such things, although one can scarcely suppose that they are themselves indicators of the dangers.

Saturn square Uranus

The main theme of this square is the likely dominance of the Saturn qualities and a repression of the Uranus ones, with a personality expression being restricted by responding to the Saturn viewpoint on life.

This will be seen in a preference for the familiar and known, both in a ready acceptance of social convention (which in its reactionary phase is often rooted in a backwards-looking perception of a 'return to a golden age'), and in the desire for a personal life lived in a controlled, predictable manner and in a stable environment. The personal identity will be focused within strictly defined parameters, with self-imposed limitations on freedom of choice and action, wrapped around with concepts of allowable thoughts, emotions and physical acts. Much of this is a protective guard against the actual insecurity of life, and emerges from a personality that is afraid to relax fully and which is inwardly insecure.

Difficulties may arise in life when you are attempting to solve problems by applying existing attitudes which then fail to work. You often find the need for change deeply disturbing, and have an intuitive fear that if you allow that process to occur, then your life would fall apart. When you have to make decisions regarding new situations, you can find it hard to make a final choice, unless you discover a way to do so which reinforces your existing attitudes and preferences; if it involves a new direction, then you become uneasy, trying to find a way to retreat back towards your old familiar patterns.

In those attempts to impose control on life, you can be too dictatorial or authoritarian in your relations with others, perhaps through an insistence upon your point of view being right, or in having everything done in an established manner without deviation. Your life can become highly patterned, locking you into a circumscribed experience of life. This can define your identity for you, offering a way for you to evade those feelings of insecurity and lack of real confidence; but this will restrict you taking advantage of many opportunities in life. Often, you seek social status or approval in order to gain a reflected sense of self-worth.

Denying the Uranian vibration of change can lead to problems of life adaptation and inner tensions, especially as there will be an underlying struggle between an affinity with traditional patterns and an attraction and fear of something new being released into your life. Saturn will embody the more inflexible end of the square; and if you begin to respond to Uranus (or a transit stimulates its activity), then these inhibiting patterns will begin to be eroded and destroyed. Part of you - a repressed aspect - would secretly love to break free of all binding ties, to become unconventional and liberated; if the pressures rise too strongly, then attempts to throw off self-imposed shackles may be made, just to release the tensions. Marriages and careers can be destroyed through such activity, with the end result being a collapse of existing patterns with no real comprehension of how to build a more suitable lifestyle, and just a feeling of an inner void and loss of direction being common. Ongoing transformation is the wisest course of action, as the transitions move more smoothly and the person is capable of slowly adjusting to new ways in a more harmonious manner, integrating the arising new tendencies more successfully and easily.

Even within these Saturnine confines, the Uranian undercurrent is at work. The operation of your mind - where you focus yourself in order to control life - is more inconsistent and contradictory than you believe. Others probably notice this; but you will oppose any attempts to point this out to you, in your belief in your logic and rationality. Yet in the background of your mind lurk those more eccentric ideas, thoughts, desires and emotions that you rarely acknowledge. Sometimes, the strains of living with denied aspects can make you touchy in relationships, where people have to treat you in certain ways so as to avoid 'triggering those buttons' which stimulate areas in you that you choose not to explore. For real health, these need to rise into the light, so that the pressures and energies can be released, and that you can integrate parts of your being. If you choose not to, it is likely that at some point in life, Uranus will erupt with a vengeance, and sweep away all those pretences, patterns and controlled lifestyle, forcing you to confront your denied selves and to change.

Saturn square Uranus: The square between Saturn and Uranus refers to the difficulty you have in making decisions, especially when old attitudes must yield to the process of change. It is the kind of apprehension you may have experienced when you learned to drive a car after going everywhere on a bicycle. Your fear in unfamiliar situations is really the only deterrent to your progress.

Perhaps you were so conditioned by parental discipline that you still look for approval before asserting your creative potentials. It is probably more difficult for you to break with the past than for most people, but it is imperative that you do. Your future depends on successfully breaking old ties, even if it means alienating others. You may be 'reminded' that you can't do this or that because you're not old enough or you lack the experience, but you must persist. Once you overcome your fear of the untried, you can climb to any level you choose.

You are especially suited to work in large organizations where the sky's the limit for your potentials. You have sufficient self-regard to know your limitations; and once you recognize your own worth, success will be yours. Your respect for the lessons of the past should serve you well in the pursuit of your goals. Politics, industry, science, research, and even the occult fields would benefit from your contribution.

You must be prepared for occasional setbacks and reverses, but these will make your credentials more secure and establish your worth in the eyes of those who need your talents. Success sometimes is made more precious by the failures encountered along the way.

In your personal relationships, this dynamic planetary combination suggests that you will seek out people who will give you approval. Don't underestimate your virtues, which include a sense of responsibility and the ability to give form to your ideas.

Saturn square or opposite Uranus: In the tense aspects between Saturn and Uranus, the planets express themselves much as they do in the conjunct, but with more unrest. The shaping of our lives is continually disrupted by Uranus, or we leave most things half-finished. Uranus spoils the patterns we are so busily weaving. We never settle down: something always crops up to force a change of plan; something new always has to be incorporated in the schedule. With a hard aspect between Saturn and Uranus, we often undergo several (possibly quite radical) transformations, partly of our own volition and partly because we unconsciously attract them.

But when we strive in Uranian fashion for individual development and personal renewal, the strain set up by Saturn produces a certain amount of anxiety, and we have to overcome all sorts of inner and / or outer resistance; also it is hard to envisage the most suitable form for development to take. Though doing our best to break away, we still seem bound by certain formalities (for example, by having to give long notice before we can leave a job), and thus suffer conflicts between personal freedom on the one hand, and rules and regulations on the other hand. However, the tense aspects supply sufficient energy for coping with these conflicts.

Because of the inhibiting effect of Saturn, we seldom rush headlong into new ventures and seldom feel inclined to break links with the past. Yet, because of the restlessness induced by Uranus, we have no wish to become ossified. Although this is a tense, unsettling combination, it provides the chance to look for new ways of expressing ourselves within existing forms, or of adapting our life-style to our individuality. And this is something for which we are prepared to struggle hard.

Saturn trine Uranus

The trine aspect can offer a good working balance between these two energies, one which can successfully reconcile their opposing natures. The more positive Saturn qualities allied to less extremist Uranian ones will be in evidence, operating through your personality expression.

As with the conjunction and sextile aspects, the trine will enable you to anchor and materialize the Uranian impulse, so that the energies will flow easily and fluently through you without creating any unnecessary blockages. Working from the Saturn ability of self-discipline, practical skills and organization, you can take full advantage of the inspirational ideas of Uranus, eventually making them real on this material level. Yet you are not dazzled by materialism, and much of your actual interest and enjoyment is with the nature of the ideas themselves; being capable of manifesting them to some degree is but a completion of the process. It is those futuristic ideas and dreams that take hold of your imagination, giving it some form, definition and direction.

You are able to learn quickly from life experiences; you choose not to waste time having to repeat similar experiences through failing to realize the implicit lessons hidden within them. Time is short, and you prefer to make the best use of your natural talents and resources for yourself, and to aid others too if the opportunities present themselves. Potentially, you could become an inspiration for the young and others in how to actualize your intentions and complete the process of creativity, due to your ability to resolve the Saturn-Uranus polarity. Much of human experience revolves around the conflicts inherent in that dualistic polarity; and you could become an exponent of the fact that it can be reconciled. Your life could demonstrate the ability to weld together old and new impulses, the creative process, and the dichotomy of matter-spirit. Obviously, it would not always be easy; but you can make the potential real in your life, and prove to others that it is achievable. This is another aspect of the 'bridging role and function' that is currently needed during this transition stage, when unifying the planetary impulses is essential.

Saturn trine Uranus: The trine between Saturn and Uranus shows that you have learned from your experiences and acquired discipline. As you project yourself toward future accomplishments, you are excited by the prospects of all the tomorrows. You have earned the freedom you enjoy. Although you have a healthy respect for material things, you are fascinated by your increasing detachment from them. In the future you will be enriched by letting others share the benefits of your knowledge and experience.

You have the talent to mobilize and exploit your resources. You are intuitively aware that success depends on taking measured risks rather than on speculating. Consequently, you can teach others how to effectively capitalize on their potentials. You are well-qualified for executive positions because of your keen judgment and uncanny insight. Your understanding of people and their motivations enables you to organize their talents to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks.

You are particularly good at handling young people, because they can identify with you and the authority you present to them. They admire you for 'getting it all together' and being able to assert yourself without arrogance. They also respect you for expecting them to define and seek their own goals.

You can successfully apply your potentials in many occupations. Suitable fields include mathematics, science, research, and astrology, as well as many industrial positions requiring leadership and organization.

Your ideals are based on solid experience and the tried and true. As you strive to gain your objectives, you uphold the highest values of behavior. You are optimistic about the future for yourself and for those who share your ethical standards.

Saturn trine Uranus: The trine indicates children born into a generation that wishes to co-operate with established forms of authority. The father's effect on the individual's psyche can be used constructively because Dad was co-operative with his peers. Dad's values may be expressed differently, but this person is exposed to the concept of a changing consciousness.

If the trine ties into the personal planets, or if the trine ties to the chart of the nation, this individual may be drawn to work in the political arena, for he relates to contemporary events. In the personal sense, his need to develop a 'personality' works co-operatively with his drive for maturity.

We can apply ourselves diligently to personal development, showing great determination and energy. The will is resolute and we have plenty of staying-power.

However, the tenacity and obstinacy characteristic of this aspect can make us unwilling to listen to reason. When locked on target, we are not easily diverted.

Saturn trine or sextile Uranus: This is an excellent practical combination, uniting common sense with initiative, will¬power, and nervous energy.

There should be concentration, mental and volitional vigor, quiet resolution, prolonged preparation, and drastic final action.

It favors positions of control and administration; and, to judge by examples, it seems by no means without relation to the arts. It is likely to make the native popular as a governor.

Saturn quincunx Uranus

Saturn inconjunct Uranus indicates that you have difficulty establishing priorities in the obligations that you undertake. You may not admit it, but you let yourself be intimidated by others because you want their approval. You deceive yourself in believing that you can do any task as well as it needs to be done. The truth is that while you may do it well, you resent having to adopt new methods or innovations.

In a sense, you are locked up in the past, trying desperately to hold onto old concepts. You resist change because it threatens your security. Since you can't prevent progress, isn't it logical to accept it and adapt yourself to it? The only insecurity you need fear is being out of step with what is generally accepted. Once you adopt the new, it will become part of your arsenal of experience and will sustain you.

Until you react more positively to change, your accomplishments will be limited. When you become more flexible, you can successfully compete with anyone. Although the past seems secure, it is only the experiences you have gained that make it so. Life goes on; and tomorrow, next month, and next year will also become the past. Don't deprive yourself of the wisdom available through experiences that are still to come.

Be prepared for some stress between you and your mate. Your partner will recognize your tremendous potential and want you to develop it. Try to reach a compromise if this becomes an issue in the relationship. Others see your talents more clearly than you, so take advantage of their perspective.

Your life will be enriched if you strive to refine your talents and adopt new techniques that are more productive. Pessimism and a defeatist attitude can cause serious physical problems, such as arthritis or hardening of the arteries. If you are lucky, it will only result in a cantankerous disposition.

Saturn quincunx Uranus: The tensions here are much the same as they are in the hard aspects, but are not so readily understood. We have a tremendous feeling of unrest, but we do not know its source. Therefore we are never really satisfied with fixed forms, and are uncertain how to express individuality or win freedom.

If we want to be original and individualistic, ambitions are sure to be undermined and held in check via the inconjunct. The resulting tension can make us even more determined to have room for personal development; yet this will only increase the counter activity of Saturn. Hence it is not unusual, with this inconjunct, to suddenly abandon independence and become complete conformists. But after a little while the urge to be provocative and changeable reasserts itself and we start chafing under the same dull routine.

The tension between the retention of form and the breaking of form is at full stretch in the inconjunct. Therefore we are likely not only to be very much on edge mentally, but also to suffer physically - from nervous diseases, for example.

Life consists of one change after another; probably we create change unconsciously but may well do so deliberately. This is because we are never entirely at ease. Yet even with the inconjunct, a crisis can reveal the cause of the underlying tension; and then the Saturn / Uranus combination can be expressed in a more helpful way.

Saturn quincunx Uranus: Saturn represents the personal apprehensions of the individual as well as the influence of the father on the developing psyche. Uranus indicates the behavior pattern of a generation and the point of consciousness in the individual sense.

The quincunx indicates a strain between the influence of the father and the process of individuation. This person may not feel comfortable with the maturation process. It brings a vague feelings of discontent when the attempt is made to free the self from the traditions of the father. In order for the energy to function easily, both signs involved in the quincunx need to be expressed. As the individual becomes conscious of the difference between the Saturn and Uranus function, the discontent can be handled.

Saturn opposite Uranus

With the opposition, you will tend to project inner tensions outwards onto others through your social and intimate relationships. These tensions arise as a result of the clash of the Saturn and Uranus energy patterns within you, and will continue to remain operating until you succeed in resolving the causes of the inner friction, through transforming the relationship of Saturn to Uranus.

You may feel torn between two polarized directions, past-future, order-chaos, orthodox-unorthodox, stability-change. This may make it difficult for you to decide on life directions, or you may become biased towards one pole to the repeated exclusion of the other, and some degree of repression of the ignored planetary qualities will occur. This can give you a hard edge to your personality, which is partly a result of trying to maintain a fixed inner centre against the other inner planetary attraction. You prefer to remain clearly in control, but can express this with what seems to others an overly aggressive approach.

There can be a lack of relaxed relationships, partly because you have a competitive attitude and desire to become personally important and authoritative in a social sense. It is doubtful if you will have many close friendships, because of an attitude of exclusion and distancing that you put up around yourself.

One area that can create conflict for you is a lack of openness to others, and that attitude of righteous knowing; this can block any real relationship from occurring, and often will generate antagonism from others, who look for opportunities to 'bring you down'. Learning to listen more to what others have to say is one lesson you need to apply; there is something of value to be gained from communication with every person, because the wisdom of the whole is reflected through each individual, and the routes that guidance and messages can take are infinite in variety. If you are not open to the world and people, you will miss them, and just circle around in your own limited world. Life can be greatly enriched by sharing with others in an attitude of equality. Co-operation and compromise should then flow by such an adjustment in your attitude to others, as you break down that restrictive egocentric shell.

It is likely that the Uranian energies will be less expressed than the Saturnian ones, so some degree of rebalancing may be required to free that planetary influence. This can be released through personal creativity and allowing yourself to be more free and less tightly bound. This can involve the dissolution of limiting self-images, and an inner granting of freedom to others, so that you do not insist that they conform to your image of them. Often you attempt to direct their lives for them, especially in the more personal sphere of relationships, because it makes you feel able to control life. In the way that you are applying this, the results just inhibit a vibrant life.

The Uranian characteristics can also emerge if you become involved in social reforming groups, where you may release that aspect of your nature in an active manner through questioning the Establishment. What you may have to be wary of is a bias towards Uranus that leads to losing the awareness of the essential Saturn values in life. What you should be aiming towards is a way to create a workable balance between these energies within your own nature and through relationships, so that the positive aspects of each can shine through.

Saturn opposite Uranus: The opposition from Saturn to Uranus indicates that you have a problem in relating to others. You relate, but in a competitive way for no particular reason. There are times when you are right and should maintain your position, but not so that you jeopardize the cooperation of those closest to you. You do need others to help stabilize you when you disregard the most basic logic in handling your affairs. Learn to respect and value those who are genuinely concerned about you. First, you must learn the lesson of compromise. Later, when you've acquired the wisdom of experience, you may have earned the freedom you seek.

There are a number of professions for which you are qualified. Among them are science, research, logistics, statistics, mathematics, and industrial management. When you gain a position of authority, be careful not to subvert it by being officious. You tend to arouse the resentment of your subordinates, who will do their best to 'sandbag' you, and you will be defenseless against this. But you will also feel aggressive toward your superiors, who will prey on you.

You must make many adjustments if you want your life to function in an orderly way. First, resist the desire to start at the top. There isn't much room there even for those who haven't earned it. With this planetary combination you have a terrific opportunity to meet people who will teach you lessons the best schools cannot. But you must be willing to learn. Put your 'know-it-all' attitude on the shelf until you do know what's what; then you will use your knowledge with humility.

As time goes on, you will become less fascinated with the physical and more interested in human values that can enrich you in the future. You will appreciate those who helped you become successful, and you will share your knowledge and wisdom as others shared theirs with you.

Your partner probably deserves more credit than you know for sustaining you when you have had doubts about your potential.
