Transit Watch: Saturn Opposing Jupiter Conjunct Uranus (And The Rest Of The Cardinal T-Square) – Tension And Tips From The Goat
Astrology in real life
With Jupiter conjunct Uranus, most everyone has a tremendous impulse to change their life or break out in some way that is LARGE. They are absolutely sick of being oppressed, regardless of who or what or why they are held back.
It could be lack of money, it could be family responsibility, a lousy partner, the lack of a partner, trouble with their children, their own fear, a house they can’t sell, a lease they can’t break, a psychological pattern that dogs them, an addiction or you name it.
What is universal is that people want to freedom and they are not finding the doors flung open, that’s for sure. Even if the door is flung open, there is fear over crossing the threshold. Now here’s the tip:
You can have the freedom but Saturn comes with. Take the leap of faith, but realize you are going to land hard, with work to do. Even if you take a giant step, it will still be slow sorting out. If you don’t move, pressure will build to crushing. Definitely no free lunch on the horizon.
There will be a price attached to every benefit and this is not something we are used to. You leave your husband, they glare at you at church. You pay down your debt… but go without. You cut off the friend who drains you… and you feel lonely. You tell your boss to go jump in the lake… and get fired.
This is blog is a good example of how this plays: I expand the astrology blog (Jupiter Uranus) and take a pay cut (Saturn in Libra). But if I don’t expand the blog… well, it’s can’t be sustained.
You can progress but you must accept the cost and be prepared to weather it because nobody is getting out of this without encountering this and I mean, nobody.
Can you identify this phenomenon in your own life? Tell us!

Hoo boy. Truest. Post. Ever.
yep. I’m going to be living alone for the first time in 8 years. It’s going to be expensive and I’m not going to have as much down time. But I’m going to finally have my own studio within my home and so it will be worth it!
YES! Unruly teenage son (who has previously been slapped by Saturn-Uranus opposition) seems to have completely lost his mind while I was out yesterday. With Mars and Jupiter mixed in to Satur-Uranus he became violent enough to land him and my husband in separate ER’s, my son in jail (felonious assault) and I’m currently taking a break from steam-cleaning blood out of my carpet.
OY!
Despite the fact that the carpet HAS to be cleaned, I am firmly entrenched in my OCD behavior that if only my house can be “clean”, life will be good. That doesn’t work very often
=(
((((stacey))))
I hope everyone is okay:(
Well I don’t feel I have been given much of a choice in the matter lately about changing my life LOL, thanks to pluto. Only choice has been my reaction.
((stacey))
I chose freedom from oppressive people, and now I’m lonely.
Everyone is as OK as can be expected. By the way, my son was “breaking out” against his perception of our unreasonable demands – like that he clean up after himself and not use foul language around his younger sister.
(((Stacey)))
Yay Chrispito. I’m similar. I simply will have to move out to move on but am not thrilled with my options. Will probably pay more to have something close to what I’d like. And I’ll end up lonely to some degree. But I’m also looking forward to the loneliness as it usually leads me to new things.
Classes for a certification. More freedom in my career, less money. Saturn transiting my 2nd says “suck it up.” 
Oh yes – great advice to live by here! “Freedom isn’t free” is what my Cap moon/merc like to “remind” me of now and then as I go through this period. I have massively switched my career path and have had no – as in NO – money coming in, yet I am as happy as can be because I know it’s the right thing to do. And it’s also what I love to do and what I’m best at doing. It’s also pushed me to really look so closely at what resources I do have and call them all forth, and that alone has been interesting. I’m triple Aqua as well and have been able to come up with some rather creative, if not “conventional,” solutions. So yay for this alignment, LOL!
Left a dead marriage (which was a long time coming) but am now broke. While I now have the freedom to partner well, I have less freedom to move around (less childcare) and less financial freedom. It seems that the road to true freedom for me will be uphill climb. But I’m ready to go.
You explained that so well once again and in so few words! Its amazing how you do that! 
Jup/Uranus in my 8th – breaking free from psychological patterns of dependency, Saturn in 2nd – by becoming self sufficient and building self worth.
If i become this model of self sufficiency, I would feel very very lonely, and that scares me. I am clinging to my dependencies by a thread, I am very confused as to what to do. Lots of fear (saturn), yet I know I have to break free into new and uncharted territory (Uranus/Jup), so I dont feel so controlled and oppressed by everything.
Cardinal – pulled in 3 different directions at once…with lots of fears in between….
Saturn leads this train now..the other 2 are retro. Love Saturn and I guess he’ll love ya back.
In any case…this is freakin exhausting
hmm, financially I’m feeling crushed. Wonder if I’ll have to take on a roomie? That would definitely cut down on some freedoms I’ve grown used to, like walking naked into the kitchen for my coffee after a shower, etc…
Or it could be the internet, I’m addicted and have been for a long time now.
(((Stacey))) I’m so sorry.
I was JUST on the phone telling someone how I’ve felt really oppressed for the last couple of weeks and it’s so tiring. I think for me it’s both fear and a psychological pattern. Jup/Ur on my 10th house cusp, Saturn in the 4th, Pluto in 7th… sigh. This cross is hitting me hard.
If I don’t find a way to take a leap of faith soon, my fear will make me look incompetent at work and it’s going to impact my career in long-lasting ways. Not to mention it’s taking away a little bit of my self-esteem at a time. I need to suck it up and make a move!

First time poster, long time lurker.
I’ve been thinking of leaving a loveless/sexless 24 yr. marriage & starting something with a (much) younger guy at work. We have debt out the ass and our kids are back home due to their own life issues.I want to break out but the complications are overwhelming.
Sadly, I know just enough about astrology to be dangerous. My Sun, Ascendant, Venus, Neptune & Mercury are in Scorpio. All but Mercury(1st hse) in the 12th. My moon is in Gemini and Mars in Taurus, both in 7th hse. I have no idea how these transits are affecting my chart. Sorry.:(
I know I need to make a decision because I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in this dead relationship. I’m afraid that if I leave I’ll be worse off than if I stay.
Right now Xanax is my BFF.
Stacey, so sorry to hear this………
((((((((Stacey))))))))
The things on my mind are much bigger than myself and not exactly personal.
If I login to the game I play, I would love it if I saw people talking out loud about getting out of bad situations. Really love it. I have seen so many people in game in bad relationships, or having bad habits, etc. It would be rather nice to see them acknowledging these things for once, especially if they would be deciding to do something about it. Especially if no one has to point it out or give them a push, so no one has to be in the bad guy light for helping. Even just to see one person in such a place would make my day. It just seems rare.
My wings have been bound for so long it feels as tho they’ve atrophied, but I too am working towards obtaining freedom regardless of the cost… So, like the Bride in Kill Bill said “Wiggle your Big Toe!!”
Standing Ovation!
Yes. Jumping off a few cliffs. Ready.
Stacey, Hang in there.
Scorpiotina, There are some middle age transits that can make you act more rashly than normal (though it sounds like ultimately leaving might behoove you. So sorry for your situation) If you post your chart to the boards, people will help you.
Thank you, tinaroma. I’m sure I am having some sort of mid-life crisis. So far I’ve managed to control myself and not do anything (too) crazy. I do, however, feel like a volcano. Pretty scary stuff.
If I can figure out how to navigate these boards perhaps someone can offer some much needed advice.
For what it’s worth my dob is 10/30/58 7:30am EST
I have been experiencing this for the last year, with my 29 degree Pisces Sun. In order to buy something new, start anything new project or gain more personal freedom, I have had to give up something old, work very hard for anything new, and I had to give up money in exchange for freedom. The universe is not giving, without taking something in return.
Elsa, good accurate representation of the energies. Astrologer Mo.
Social Services took my 2 grandchildren yesterday and placed them in foster care I have been on the telephone with lawyers all morning and have a very sick stomach and head…
Guess I will sell my grandmothers diamond and my car..Lawyers want 2500.00 and the hearing is just days away…..Prayers please Maggie will be 3 on August 11….My son is losing it.He had his parental rights taken away(no on appeal) while in jail(now out) and they will not let me or my two grown daughters have them cuz he had his parental rights taken away..The mother is a drug addict and I have reported her to DSS 3 times when the kids were being neglected,they never would help.Ironically they wait till my son no longer has any rights and BAM.Here we are!
Freedom I do not feel I am scared of those bastards..When I called them I had rights as her grandmother and I am in for a fight for sure..I will die trying.
grandonna, I am so sorry. You will very likely get your grandchildren. The first thing social services does is look for a family member who can take the kids so provided you have a clean record, etc. you should have them with you pretty quickly.
(((grandonna))))
Pulled the weakest link out of my support chain yesterday. Now my chain has a full out break in it and I’m welding it shut.
Am finding myself surprised at the number of changes this means – even stuff as simple as emergency contact phone is in a hundred spots.
{{{{grandonna}}}} Sending you good thoughts, too, and much good luck.
Sometimes things need to be broken before healing can start. We just need to keep hold of our courage. I’d advise anyone in an abusive or totally dead relationship to get out of there: it will be tough going but worth it in the end. There’s nothing so lonely as a dead marriage, believe me! Solitude is a doddle by comparison. Kids do complicate things of course… but constant tension (and even worse, violence) are far worse for them than parents splitting, esp if it can be done before the relationship turns to hatred
I knew my marriage was all wrong but would never have left, given I’d made my bargain and my vows – but he ran off with a young girl and it did me a big favour in the long run, even though we were broke at the time and living in a foreign country. Similarly I was forced out of my home of 7 years early last year, when I was feeling old and ill (and broke!) and totally unable to cope – but it’s been a tremendously positive life-change and I’m really glad now it happened.
Grandonna, and all who are facing family horrors: stay strong and stay calm. I have a friend (American) who was faced with a v similar situation, and helped her son get back access to his child. Keep the ‘powers that be’ on your side.
*like this post*
Expand and take a pay cut.. Especially I’m having Saturn Return in my age 29.. A major cycle of experience is closing soon. I get to learn Astrology (a Chinese lecturer). I know that this is a good chance to try. Learn from my inner subconscious part and know myself better =)
