Saturn and Uranus return to form a square today, generating some friction. The first Saturn-Uranus square occurred in February, and the third (and final) one will happen in December.

At the root of tension is a clash between our need for freedom and spontaneity and our 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 are harder to tolerate, but life feels too chaotic without some lines drawn. 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 during this period. Adjusting our plans may be in order, and striking a balance between convention and innovation is the challenge.

Also today, Mars forms a quincunx to Jupiter, and we can feel out of synch with our instincts and natural rhythm. We could have some trouble making decisions, or we can find it challenging integrating one strong desire with another. Circumstances are such that we need to assess where we’ve been putting too much–or too little–energy. Poor timing is possible, and reshuffling our focus and prioritizing can be necessary.
