When exploring the transits of Saturn, allow a 5° orb applying and a 4° separating. Saturn’s energies would influence us for approximately 5 months depending on whether it goes into retrograde motion. If it goes retrograde, its energies will last longer. This Astrologer prefers to use a tighter degree of orb than some Astrologers as we generally do not feel the intensity of an aspect before these closer degrees I have set out.
After years of study, it is apparent that the most intense period is when an aspect is direct, although with Saturn, and its delaying influence, it is most powerful between 1° and 2° after it is direct.
Saturn’s influence, as with any aspect, is temporary although during its connection, it most certainly can be impactful in our lives.
What can we learn from Saturn while it is having an impact on our lives?
Remember Saturn is the teacher!
With Saturn Opposition natal Uranus, we can always expect the unexpected. Uranus acts on impulse and Saturn delays, restricts and creates hurdles that hold us back from moving in the directions that Uranus wants us to move towards. Since Oppositions often involve other people, these particular individuals involved may play a big role in what this aspect produces.
Uranus wants to let go of anything that holds back our evolution. It is the harbinger of awakening and does not like to be stifled. It moves us to where we need to go and, in most cases, suddenly and unexpectedly.
Saturn on the other hand seeks security and stability and resists change. You can well imagine how these two planetary energies might battle with one another. They are opposing forces, one resisting what needs to take hold as it wants to maintain a secure foundation and the other is frustrated because it is being held back from moving in a direction that just might free you from the old, outdated practices.
The houses involved will be of extreme significance as they represent the areas of life being influenced by this transit. If, for example, Saturn while in transit is in the first house and Natal Uranus is in the seventh house, learning what is important for you on a personal level is being impacted by the needs being met concerning your spouse or business partner. You may ask, what you can do for yourself while influencing your relationship so that things are not disheveled or what does your partner need from you that you are unwilling to change or what do you need from your partner that they are unwilling to change (but this latter scenario is less likely but could be part of the process).
Uranus in the seventh (as in our example) natally suggests that the partnership is unpredictable and subject to change and evolution. This information is not detailed because the whole chart needs to be examined to form a full picture.
Saturn opposition natal Uranus is certainly a push and pull energy where change will happen unexpectedly but necessary and likely affects others but Saturn is resistant as it wants security and stability.
