The opposition in astrology is the one most intriguing to me. A year ago I was reading about how Uranus was going to trounce all over Saturn and rolling my eyes.  The planets were in opposition and the old man was supposed to get his ass kicked I guess. It made no sense to me outside of the fact people have their bias and their blind spots.

With Mercury conjunct Saturn in Virgo, time seems very limited.  While I like them both, it’s occurring to me I don’t have time for twitter and/or facebook.

It’s very difficult to maintain a blog these days due Saturn’s influence on Mercury-ruled writing. It is further complicated by the Uranus opposition because whatever you do manage to write is going to protested by roughly half the people out there and here is the surprising thing:

This is the 3rd of 5 exact oppositions of Saturn and Uranus.  The first was on November 4, 2008 coinciding with the US presidential election. While the country is more polarized than ever I can note some progress in the fact that people seem aware now that the opposition is not going away.

By that I mean that at the first pass one side won the election and that was supposed to be the end of that. This has proved not to be the case so as far off as resolution may seem, we have made progress in that both sides can now see one another.

Your thoughts?

The Saturn Uranus opposition dominates the sky and this will continue over the next 10 days or so. People are divided and the camps on both sides are divided and those two camps are divided and the next two camps ate also divided and so on and so forth.

Saturn / Uranus = Liberate the oppressed but there are a million and one opinions as to just who “the oppressed” is.

I posted on my facebook last night, that I like this energy. I said I was “designed for inclement weather.”

Annalisa remarked: “LOL, Elsa, I’m made for this sky too! It’s like old home energy, isn’t it?”

She’s right.

Our grandfather, Henry was a Triple Capricorn so that was the Saturn side.
Our parents were MEGA Aquarians so that’s the Uranus side.

We lived in the middle of the desert and while Henry did not live with us, he lived nearby.

In fact, we spent our lives going back and forth on the path we cut through the desert between the two houses. How’s that for this opposition in real life?

I responded to Annalisa: Remember our mother calling Henry a “bohemian”? Which one of them was the actual bohemian do you think?

Holy cow, so many things are precarious right now I can barely track them.  I ran to the store on a pretty critical errand. If someone’s life is at stake, that’s critical, right?

Well, it took longer than I anticipated… maybe 10 minutes over so I called Vid on the way home to check on him and he didn’t pick up.

Whaaaat?

I’d left him on the computer, I should have been 20 minutes there and back and I could think of no reason (and 10 reasons) why he would not be picking up but I still felt a mixture of panic and anger.  Why is he not picking up?

“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?”

This is in response to Dr. Z - The Zodiac Master on Love and Rot:

I remember the day the soldier’s son realized I loved his father as-is. I’d been writing him for months and months and months and finally said something that indicated acceptance of the more difficult or challenging aspects of his nature.

People read about my son getting shot with a BB gun last night.. The comments were passionate and the opinions diverse, ranging from “SUE THEM”, the “boys will be boys”.

I consider this an illustration of the Saturn opposition to Uranus in the sky in that there are shocking difference (Uranus) around what the reality of this situation is along with what “the right thing to do” (Saturn) would be.

The Saturn Uranus opposition is effecting everyone, everywhere in countless ways and on countless levels. One of the things I notice personally is I feel it wise to censor myself.

Now that may seem incongruous with the way I broadcast my big mouth around here but the fact is every day, if not multiple times a day I realize I best not say this or that or the other because the timing is bad. You know that old song, The Gambler:
