Holm Astrology has been creating "Astrology" and "Food For Thought" posts for over 10 years.  Wix has taken over the Vista Print websites and as a result of the migration of our information, a large portion of our blog posts are currently lost. 

 

We realize our Astrology posts are vital to our students. 

 

If you do not find what you are looking for on this Blog page, please visit www.holmastrology.blogspot.com/ where you will find our missing blog posts.  There are over 2,660 posts pre September, 2023.

We apologize for the inconvenience but it is worth the jump over to our blogspot.

Wherever you have Natal Jupiter in your birth chart often reflects a part of life that has potential for development and expansion.  Depending on how challenged Jupiter is in your chart by other Natal positions (planets or angles), it often is associated with good luck, easy flow, and opportunities. It is known as “the greater benefic”.  (As a side note, Venus, known as “the lessor benefic” represent placements in our charts where the opportunity for growth and good fortune have possibility and when these two planets are in harmony with one another by aspect, this indicates an even more fortunate condition). 

 

When Transiting Saturn makes a challenging aspect to Jupiter (we are talking about the energies of Jupiter with this transit, not Venus), we will have a difficult time pushing through adversity or challenge because Saturn, among other things, restricts progress when in challenging aspect. 

 

Saturn tends to challenge us, by putting up roadblocks in order to teach lessons and slows the process down considerably (like learning patience is involved).  Saturn is restrictive energy when in challenging aspect and teaches us valuable lessons that perhaps we would choose not to learn if by chance we had a choice.  Saturn is the disciplinarian and the teacher. 

 

Jupiter’s energies, on the other hand, are quite promising and, in many cases, opens the door for us to learn from these experiences, but this does not mean that the lesson will be easy.

 

Oppositions often involve other people bringing different perspectives to light.  They often interact with us or have some influence on our decision making.  With an opposition between Saturn, which can be quite debilitating, and Jupiter, which can be quite uplifting, we must find a way to integrate these two energies and not become too negative because certain things we might be striving towards do not work out exactly the way we might wish they would.  We now have a chance to see things from different perspectives, and we can find a way to look a little in both directions and not be so focused in one direction or the other.  If we are the negative type, we might believe that things will never work out so why proceed, and if we were of a more positive attitude we might believe that not to worry as things will work out just fine.  We need to find a compromise and work things out in such a way that we are not disappointed but at the same time we do not expecting things to be perfect.

 


With Saturn Opposition Natal Jupiter, the combination of these two powerhouses provides a chance for personal development and growth through actual experience.

Check the rest of the chart to see what this aspect might mean in your particular case.  Always look at the other transits as well and their meanings in order to find a clear understanding of what potential is available in your ever-expanding life experience.

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!

 


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.
Saturn Opposition Natal Uranus

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.

With Saturn square natal North Node, you will feel stifled, but with the right approach, Saturn offers stability and structure that can stand the test of time. This is certainly a challenging time, but you can achieve the goals of your life’s path.
Saturn Square natal North Node

This is a challenging position because not only is Saturn making a Square to the North Node, it is also making a Square to the South Node.  The area of life affected by Saturn will depend on the house placement of your North and South Node in the natal Astrology chart. Also, you should check which house Saturn is transiting through as well as Natal Saturn’s position and the aspects to it. This will give you all the information you need when it comes to deciphering what this time might produce. 

 

If, by chance, you have Transiting Saturn also in Opposition to a another planet in your natal chart,  you now have a Grand Cross which is far more difficult than just the Squares to the Nodes.  We will look at this Grand Cross at a later date. It should be noted that a Square is most definitely a difficult aspect, but because of its intensity, it also provides enough energy to push you to work your way through the adversity.  Challenges within the chart are put in place for us to overcome and in turn gain insight and valuable information and experience.

 

The Nodes are often tied to our path ahead, the road to follow (North Node) and what we have brought with us to make this task easier (South Node).  These nodes can also represent important people that help us along the way, when activated through transits and progressions.  Saturn has to do with challenges and life lessons. Often, we find obstacles in our way of progress, and we must find our solutions to these adversity.

 

Saturn is known as the task maker and is in place to help you or hinder you in progress, but it does, through its life’s lessons, provide you with more stamina and perseverance to stay on course. 

 

Again, the North Node is tied to our path ahead and the goals we have in place to achieve, and Saturn will now make you work for these objectives. As a result, the time during this aspect will most definitely require your attention and attentiveness.  There will be stumbling blocks along the way and stress as well especially if you resist the lesson at hand, but with the right attitude and a disciplined effort, you can achieve much from this transit’s influence.

 

With Saturn square natal North Node, you will feel stifled, but with the right approach, Saturn offers stability and structure that can stand the test of time. This is certainly a challenging time, but you can achieve the goals of your life’s path.
