The Saturn Opposition to Uranus
The Saturn/ Uranus opposition is one of the culprits for the changes we are being forced into these days. There will be 5 oppositions with these two with the last one in 2015. The first one started off with a bang on September 15, 08 when they also were in square to Pluto and with a Full Moon as well. Our economy was diving down the drain and revealed long inherent problems. The election was under the influence of these two, paving the way for a historical change in political leadership, electing the first president of color in this country where prejudice is still prevalent. The need for change was so obvious and the hope for a better future high. Let us have a look at both planets and what they represent!

Saturn
Saturn was the mythological father of Zeus (the king of the gods) and the Roman god of agriculture. Because agriculture led to the foundation of human society, Saturn is associated with social order. Saturn is a father figure, but not necessarily a benevolent one. He is associated with restrictions, limitations, and fear. But those qualities have their purpose, as they call us to examine those self-imposed limitations within ourselves and free ourselves from them. This is a highly practical, unemotional planet, associated with concrete reality, material things, rules and laws, and authority. Saturn is not a creative influence; rather it reminds us of our duty to act responsibly to maintain the established social order, and to develop self-discipline for order in our life and to persist during times of hardship. Those qualities, in turn, are associated with ambition and careers.

Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius and the tenth House representing public image, career, and destiny and the elevens House of friends and vision. In the body Saturn rules the bones, skin, and spleen.

Uranus
While order and balance are important in the world, the other side of that coin, change and evolution into greater love, freedom, and well-being for all, is just as important. Human society cannot evolve and expand unless there are individuals who challenge the established order. An odd fact about Uranus is that it boldly dares to rotate on its side, thereby breaking with convention, and indeed Uranus is highly unconventional and always ready to challenge things as they are. Uranus is a progressive humanitarian and visionary who has no special respect for authority. He would rather exert his will over authority in his idealistic quest for freedom, justice, and opportunity for weaker members of society.

Uranus is the opposite of Brother Saturn: where Saturn is concerned with limitations, Uranus rules our expansive, creative intelligence, calling us to inspired thought and action, and to uniqueness rather than conformity. Those qualities derive from our connection with the universal intelligence. Change is a keyword for Uranus, always change for the better, and the faster the better, toward an expanded life and the higher realms of consciousness. The Uranus principles describe our greatest leaders and role models. Revolutionary is not too strong a term for Uranus.
