Saturn Opposite Uranus – Forget That Damned Election, What About The Impact On Personal Lives?
Astrology in real life
So the soldier is going back on the road and we definitely did not expect it (Uranus). I think it’s harsh… reality (Saturn). If you have personal planets in aspect to this opposition (18 mutable +/- a few degrees) you are probably having a similar experience.
What I notice is the separation / polarization is manifesting all around me and I am acutely aware that what is happening is utterly out of my hands.
It is a lesson (Saturn) in detachment (Uranus)… brought on by sudden (Uranus) deprivation (Saturn).
The other thing I notice is this is effecting me very differently than it is the soldier or Vidroid… or Dora or Clucky for that matter. I see my individuality (Uranus) defined (Saturn) via this and while I can’t say I am happy about it, I am in a state of marvel.
What is going on for you others with personal planets around 18 mutable?

Oh my gosh, Anon!
Hope that works out okay for you. Talk about a literal manifestation…geez. Good luck with that….
I’ve got Mercury in this mutable neighborhood myself, and am feeling some strained communications (as in others seem to be shocking to me and, probably, me to them) and have been feeling very pinned down by my work, which I want to bust free from.
Yeah Uranus/Saturn — shocking and scary. Thanks.

I have my moon in Gemini in the 11th house at 19degrees Gemini. What that means is that that Saturn and Uranus are both square it right now, with my moon at the top. Neptune is trine it. That new moon in Scorpio earlier this week was in my 4th house.
I lost my job suddenly 2 weeks ago (me and about 200 others). Yesterday, the CEO of the company quit. I did not see this coming. I am frantically looking all up and down the east coast for a new job – I am in DC metro. I also had some legal problems beginning in August 2008 (nice eclipses those) that I hope will be winding down end of November.
I know when that Saturn square goes exact – I will be feeling extra puny. I feel pretty puny and scared now – but am being proactive and trying not to wreck my life by making a bad decision. A very stressed moon – but knowing the little I know about astrology – helps to know this too shall pass. Saturn wants me to work I suppose and I am working my rear-end off trying to find a new job.
This too shall pass I hope. I know Jupiter trines my Taurus Sun in December at 25 degrees Taurus. I feel like the kid shovelling the horse-poo in the stall saying “there has to be a pony in here somewhere”. It is what it is – in the cosmic scheme these are my problems – a lot of people have much more to worry about.
Sorry about your Soldier – I hope he will be ok.
All the best to you.

re-learning how to assert (mars 18 pisces) myself…
good, in general… took a saturn transit to clear my head but it’s been admirably effective.
….i feel better than i have in a long time… and things look to be getting better… as release of pressure, on one level. more on others, but those are responsibilities i’ll happily take on to let this one go…
My son (15) has this transit of Saturn in the 10th (Authority) and Uranus in the 4th (home/family). They are both basically directly conjunct and inconjunct his MC. I have a feeling that this is a big deal. On top of that his natal Moon is at 16 Sag in the 1st (Self). He’s managed to get himself in a lot of trouble trying to assert his freedom and will likely be spending some time in jail next week.
What is especially spooky is that this transit is also hitting my MC but is different in that it is Saturn in 3rd (communication) and Uranus in the 9th (law). No mutable planets for me.
I have a bad feeling this time period will not be easy.
“It is a lesson (Saturn) in detachment (Uranus)… brought on by sudden (Uranus) deprivation (Saturn).”
Wow, Elsa. That says it!!
There’s been so much talk about this Saturn/Uranus opposition and its significance in the outer world, but I’m curious to better understand how it is manifesting in our (yours, mine) lives. I’m taking notes on how it is working in my life: Uranus is in my 1st; it and Saturn in the 7th are squaring natal Chiron at the MC. I feel like I’m straining against the bit — sorta like, freedom to “be” at all cost — but the cost may be steep and discipline, well, it just may have to be the order of the day if I want to keep what little stability I have at the moment. Best not stir up trouble in my relationships. (How not, for god’s sake!) The eventual awareness that may come from balancing these polarizing energies in my life seems way, way out of the realm of possibility right now. Oh hell.
K: not a good time to be unemployed (I may be too soon), but I really, really hope that something comes up fast for you.

” One of those is actress and singer Jennifer Hudson whose Sun is at 19 Virgo. There will be many aspects in her chart besides the SA/UR that mirror the tragic events that have befallen her family, but the shattering nature of Saturn/Uranus is there for us all to see…”
We were on the road last weekend seeing the highway signs with the Amber Alert and watching for the vehicle (we’re in her city) and we all had chills for the lost child – this was before we knew whose relative it was– not that it matters. I feel devastated for her.
My boyfriend’s Moon is 18 Sagittarius and I haven’t seen anything outward happen yet… holding my breath. I have Venus at 14 Virgo and so far, so good. I enjoyed this quote from Soulsearching Astrology: “Many people will also find that this time of the Venus/Saturn/Uranus T-square serves to strengthen their existing relationships, calling into question old worn out ways of approaching things, and reaffirming the solid elements that work.”
I hope that’s true for you, Elsa – the separation may be unexpected, but I hope you find the many strengths of your relationship are solidified at this time!
Moon and Uranus 16 and 21 Virgo Pluto is in Virgo as well, Sun is mutable in Sadge and I am fighting the urge to run with every fiber in my body. If I didn’t have kids…I’d be packed up and on the road as I type. But the pressure is unbelievable.
Sending good vibes to everyone who’s struggling. I know that’s not much against all the scariness.
I want to bust free of this election! I know we’re starved for leadership, and I know we crave someone who can string together syllables in a meaningful way, but I wish people wouldn’t mythologize Obama like they are… he’s just a human being, and this is developing into a cult-like phenomenon! I read all of these Astro Dispatch blogs, and the astrology is so skewed toward a bias, it’s unbelievable. Some bloggers I used to respect, I respect less now that it’s so obvious they’re desperately clinging to an outcome and abandoning sound astrological principles to make that outcome happen somehow. But that may be my Saturn side doing the wet blanket thing on the Uranian Messiah party. It’s just that I think it’s dangerous to put this guy on such a pedestal, much like a lot of women I know do after a particularly positive first date… only to put out and get burned afterward. Don’t forget: A politician, any politician, will make prom-night promises to get what he’s after. He gets his. What do you ultimately get? Besides dumped and disillusioned?
I am an Aquarian and I approve this message. Consider Nader.
mars, neptune, asc and pluto all at the 16-18 degree points. uh, yes, i’m feeling the effects of this transit. like K a couple of weeks ago found out that my employer was massively undercapitalized. thought we’d make it to the end of the year, but yesterday unexpectedly had a layoff of 50% staff (including me) . but here, too. had been under such tremendous pressure, the severance was sudden, but a release. and following the transits was ready for the unexpected and grateful that it’s not anything worse.
This isn’t aspecting anything…now. When it goes into the late degrees of Virgo, it’ll aspect Venus/Pluto…gah, this conjunction hasn’t seen any action in a while, and once Pluto in Sag finishes its transit, this will come along in 2010. Just in time for my 40th birthday!
What fun.
I see this transit manifesting profoundly where I work. I am a waitress at a pub/restaurant and recently they (management) have started implementing all these horrible changes. The menu has been revamped, the service standards are changed, the physical layout is changed. Everything that was in place is now different and the servers are resisting it and challenging it. It’s one of those things were I can literally feel the forces at work, the opposition and the resistance to change.
Last night we had a server sent home as a “disciplinary measure” (how Saturn is that?!) which pissed us servers off to no end. One guy got so pissed at the principle of the thing he walked out in the middle of a dinner rush. This guy was very well-liked too and we were all 5 seconds from walking out. Something is going to snap. And I have to work on the 4th! BAH.
My sun is at 17 Gemini, and with Neptune stationing on my natal Moon I just want to morph into a diva..
some hope..
Howdee,
Well I’ve got natal Sun 18 Pisces conjunct Saturn 19 in 7th House opposite Unranus+Pluto 18 Virgo all squaring Jupiter Gemini 21 (Neptune trines Sun Scorpio 21).
The point being that Saturn is activating all that crap at the moment. Fed up/dissatisfied at the moment but nothing horrific yet – let’s see if something dramatic happens…
Oh did I mention that i’m fed up
