Saturn Opposite Uranus: What Do You See Brewing?

“I had a thought,” I told the soldier the other night.  “Maybe it’s not this simple or maybe it is this simple. It’s also possible you said this to me at some point so it’s your idea,” I said.

“What is it?”

“Well it seems there are only two kinds of people.  There are people who want to run their life and there are people who want to run other people’s lives.”

“I didn’t say that but I think it’s true,” he said.

“Well I don’t know if it’s true or not. I have to think about it some more but if it’s not true, you sure see a lot of it.  I want to run my own life and that’s all there is to it.  This puts me in violent opposition to anyone who wants to interfere with that. I am just not going to agree you should be making my decisions for me when I am the one who has to live with the consequences. I don’t care what the guise is. The guise of helping. Helping my ass. I know when someone is trying to control my life and I am going to off very predictably when someone steps up to try…”

This is a Saturn issue… opposing Uranus that is.

- Rebel against oppression and control
or in the other direction
- Defend your freedom

The opposition between these planets is getting tighter every day.

What do you see brewing?

This totally resonates for me as I have it natally. I completely, totally 100% resent and oppose anyone who tries to prevent me from making decisions about my own life. The guise of helping. Hah! Governments, large corporations, health care systems…they all feed us the same b.s.

I have always, since day 1, wanted to be sure to run my own life. I will not suffer anyone who tries to interfere with this because of petty boilerplate “rules”.

As you can tell, I feel VERY strongly about this one. I wish to be self sufficient to the greatest degree possible. I have no interest in running anyone else’s life, though if ASKED for help, I can be available.

YESSSSSSS. My natal Moon opposite Uranus couldn’t agree more.

My problem has always been people underestimating me because I’m a woman. I have to rebel (Uranus) against the constraints of traditional femininity (Moon). A vagina is not a weakness, motherfuckers!

Ha, I also feel strongly about this.

Seemingly oppressive governmental ‘threats’ see the redder-necks in my area buying guns and ammo before it’s outlawed. I think conceal-carry permits are way, Way, WAY up in my part of the world.

midara you made my week. yep.

What do I see brewing? Well for starters, developing countries are not going to want our garbage, SORRY recycling.
People are pushing for locally grown food, but if I eat local, it’s going to have to be my own. I can’t support a local farm. It’s a shame. But $5 for a pint of blueberries????? Going into debt to eat locally is insanity to me. I’ll eat the cheap stuff from afar for now and in the future I’ll go without.

I grew up on mince meat and potatoes and I am as fit as they come, so I’m preparing myself to go back to my lean and mean Scottish roots.

Geez, Kashmiri, they want $5/pint for blueberries???? We sell ours for $1.50/pint [or $18/12 pint flat]. :-D

I seem to be working for free and liking it. Wierd.
I’m committing to a co-op and rebelling against the oppressive structure that’s currently in place.

Will do freelance work in another city but stay living here until they hire me full time.. which I may not even want. That is if I get the gig. My financial assistance has ended so I’m needing the money.

I think there’s also a 3rd kind, those who want other people to run their lives for them.
After all if someone else is running it none of it is your responsibility right?

I don’t know, but it feels ominous….I keep hearing the soundtrack for “JAWS” in my head and I don’t like it. The air this evening was literally thick, like sludge when I took my dogs out for a walk…they were looking at me like, “are you serious, you wanna walk in this?”. But we went and we were all panting heavily on our return and as soon as I walked into my front door, my youngest son came out of his bedroom and just started yelling at me for being too controlling and limiting his life…..what? where?…..that was the first I had seen him today and nothing happened yesterday, that I know of……

He walked out the back door and said he was going to drive to California……it was an all out tantrum…for him, I should add

Thing is….I know what he is feeling….I am feeling it too, it feels constricting, restricting, oppressive, confining, limiting…..all those words. I want to break free and run too….

He came back after a bit and apologized and said, “I am not mad at you, I am mad at others”. He is 18 and he is a really good kid….sometimes too responsible and definitely a feeling nature…Sun Sag, Moon Pisces

So, something happened somewhere, but I don’t want to ask any questions….I just want to be really, really quiet, cause I got a feeling……he is going to have to figure this one out on his own.

I think for some people it isn’t quite that extreme, “running other people’s lives.” I think on your blog we see a lot of people asking for advice how to deal with others. More often than not you redirect them to see the problem that is going on in themselves and how they can change. This is usually not obvious to them, a huge revelation. People who project also are not necessarily dictators, but can’t fully deal with their problems themselves. I think we subtly try to control others because controlling ourselves is the most difficult thing. Or we direct our pursuits somewhere else. I think with Cardinal people especially, it isn’t that extreme.

:::groans::: Neith, I know. and to think yoou are right across the border but i can’t go get them and bring them back!

I found some today at an asian grocer’s, $2.29 for 2 pints…thing is they are stored in styrafoam (just realized I don’t know how to spell that) with plastic around it…it makes this Taurus feel like she’s eating cyborg-like. I also was over 5 miles from home and on my bicycle. These are the things I do to find affordable food!

I am very worried about agriculture and food production. I think growing our own is the way forward…

True story… I went to my doc once and he said, “You’ve gained weight. Any reason why?”
“Yeah,” I says, “I eat too much and don’t exercise!” (Which floored him, btw. He said no one had ever admitted that to him. *lol*) So we started talking about my eating habits and I just flat-out told him, “Look, all I can afford is ramen and boxed crap-n-cheese. I can dream about fresh fruit and veggies all I want, but it’s not going to happen. The only thing I can do is eat less, move more, and hope I avoid vitamin deficiencies.”
It’s ridiculous how much eating healthy and/or sustainably can cost, especially when money’s tight.

Aw… thanks, Kash! Things have been discombobulated for what seems like forever, so I’ve been hiding in my cave. *sheepish grin* But it’s mostly looking up from here, so I’m venturing back out now. Yay!

politics feel very unstable to me right now - here and abroad. lots of fear and rebellion against enforced control. the healthcare debate. iran, honduras. just to name a few.

on a personal level, finances and my husband’s job. a sense of oppression with the idea at some point, something is gonna break free but i don’t know when or what.

saturn/uranus is very unsettling to me. probably everybody, i guess, but i feel very tweaked.

I think uranus is tweaking my moon and that’s no fun. Unsettled with my sweetie’s work, house payments, etc. I think that the reality of the changes we’re seeing hasn’t really sunk into many people’s mind-set.

We’re fixing our house. I constantly hear “oh you’ll be able to sell it for so much .. once the market turns around” I don’t know why no one begins operating under the realization that it’s not turning around and if it does it’s a short-term illusion.

We’re fixing our house because the pipes to the bathrooms were literally falling apart. We’re doing it so there is a functioning bathroom and that it’s livable - nothing more. But everyone assumes that it’s for “value” gah.

Through my work I see a lot of “deer in headlights” look. Businesses freezing or cutting back slightly but unwilling to take initiative, direction or be creative - they’re all scared and so are going through the motions of what they know hoping someone will tell them what to do next when the other shoe drops.

Now seems like a very fittng time to rebel and what more than memory to assist you and your convictions. My memory has been playing out certain scenarios for sometime now and I think it’s befitting to strike now. When I do get a little weary I have this blog for reassurance

I’m not sure what to expect. When this hit last November, it was conjunct my M/C axis. It actually hit me through someone else who had it flipped (compared to mine), but also conjunct the M/C axis. To make an extremly long story short, this person and I will be dealing with eachother on a daily basis again starting in a week. I credit finding out about this “new start” during the eclipse. This is a family thing so it’s not like I can avoid it. Suffice it to say that my life was turned upside down in November and I will be worried each and every time this opposition comes back.

Last summer and fall, a lot came up around the Saturn Uranus interactions as it played out in politics, in the two presidential candidates. It seems this is happening again with the battle over health-care.

The Saturn/Uranus thing is manifesting itself in a very physical way with me.

Doesn’t hurt but might be gross for some people: http://is.gd/1RS6X pic

Weird thing is that I wrote a book of “sideshow freak” poems about 5 years ago for grad school.

Be careful what you write about hahaha!

(Doesn’t bother me - I think it is kind of cool.)
