SATURN OPPOSITE URANUS IN OUR LIVES

One example is a friend/client with transiting Uranus (its current position in the sky) conjunct the position of Saturn in her chart and her descendant while transiting Saturn crosses her ascendant.  The descendant represents her marriage and her husband of 15 years.  Transiting Uranus on this point means the potential for separation or divorce or leading a different life from the partner.  They recently separated and are filing for a divorce, despite their three children.  Transiting Uranus conjunct her Saturn means that she is feeling very uneasy about her security and the structure of her life (Saturn) because she is currently not earning enough to support herself and she is now a single mom.  Transiting Saturn crossing her ascendant means that she will be working very hard over the next two years (while transiting Saturn is in her first house) and will have to be self-sufficient (she no longer has a mate to help her financially or with the children).  It also means that she is more sensitive to stress and fatigue so she was advised to guard her health and strengthen her immune system.

Another friend has transiting Saturn conjunct the position of Mars in his chart and square the Moon in his first house.  This is a very tiring set of influences and he has been very fatigued, no matter how busy or relaxed he is.  Transiting Uranus is moving through his 4th house, it also squares his Moon, and it is opposite his Mars.  Family members (both women – Moon and 4th house) are unpredictably (Uranus) and stressfully (Saturn) pulling on him in various ways and his wife (also symbolized by the Moon because she is a woman) is in poor health and pushing him to improve his house (Moon).  Money is very tight for him right now and he is taking whatever work he can find but he is feeling very insecure (indicated by transiting Saturn and Uranus both square the Moon in his chart).

Transiting Saturn is opposite the position of the Moon (feelings, comfort, support from others) in the chart of a friend/client, concurrent with transiting Uranus conjunct his Moon.  He has always struggled with depression because he was born with a Moon-Saturn square but he is now on a prescription drug to control it (the Saturn-Uranus opposition has intensified it).  With transiting Uranus conjunct his Moon, he feels like moving to another town, even though such a move would mean more isolation (Saturn and Uranus), which he doesn’t need.

Transiting Saturn has entered the first house of another client and is conjunct the position of Jupiter when he was born.  Jupiter is our inherent “luck” or feelings of “good fortune” but when transiting Saturn conjoins it, we feel like nothing is easy or going well.  He was recently laid off from a good-paying job he liked and had to take a lower paying, subsistence job while he looks for something better.  Whether he finds a better job or not, he will not find the financial security he is looking for in the near future (because of transiting Saturn conjunct his Jupiter and because it will soon conjoin his Moon as well).  He was advised to improve his diet (he described it as “terrible”), because of transiting Saturn (restriction) in his first house of vitality and good health, in order to avoid catching the swine flu.

In the chart of another client, transiting Saturn and Uranus are squaring his Sun so he is going through somewhat of an identity crisis.  He recently quit a job in his profession to move to another state where his wife had accepted a new job.  He has not found a comparable job since the move and has had to settle for temporary jobs where his experience is unused and he earns less money.  He has had to discover new reasons to appreciate himself, despite the job application rejections he receives.  Uranus transiting his 4th house indicates his move to another state (change of residence), while the shift in career direction (and difficulty finding a satisfying new job) is symbolized by transiting Saturn in his 10th house (career).
