Saturn square Uranus

Saturn at 13° Aquarius 07’ forms a square with Uranus at 13° Taurus 07′ on June 14th, 2021. This is the second in a set of three, and it occurs with Saturn’s retrograde.

With this longer-term aspect (Saturn forming a square to Uranus), there can be tension experienced as our needs for freedom and spontaneity seem to clash with a need for structure and stability. Ideally, we can find creative ways to satisfy these diverging needs, perhaps by giving form to our ideals and quest for progress.

Rules and limitations can feel more challenging to tolerate, but without some lines drawn, life feels too chaotic. Attempts to assert our individuality, freedom, and originality tend to undermine our feeling of groundedness and security. Yet, we are not satisfied when we conform. There may be sudden and unexpected twists that force us to do something different or free ourselves from old habits.

Adjusting our plans may be in order, and striking a balance between convention and innovation is the challenge. Setbacks tend to be temporary and often lead to new, more creative paths or solutions. While this aspect is active, however, we can feel some real frustration.

There can be elevated frustrations related to differences in opinion that feel more problematic than usual, blocking progress or leading to delays. People we relied on may seem less reliable at this time.

We have an unusual situation in which Saturn, the conservative planet, is in a progressive sign, Aquarius, while Uranus, the progressive planet, is in a conservative sign, Taurus. At times, these energies can feel oppressive and we might feel that we’re often at cross-purposes, even when the end game is similar.

Saturn sextile Chiron

Saturn at 12° Aquarius 44’ forms a sextile with Chiron at 12° Aries 44′ on June 24th, 2021. This is the second in a set of three, and it occurs due to Saturn’s retrograde.

With this longer-term aspect (Saturn forming a sextile to Chiron), this is a time for feeling competent, effective, and secure. We have a strong sense of both tradition and innovation. We are also more able to express our unique qualities or to go our own way, without stirring up controversy, as we act in a professional, respectful manner. There’s no need for show-boating with this aspect. We are humble, and with increased realism, we can pursue our goals with an increased chance of success.
