Saturn Conjunction with Mars in Opposition to Uranus

Saturn Opposition to Uranus July 26 is the main astrological event this week.
One of the longer astrological cycles we have been watching is coming to an end with the final opposition of Saturn with Uranus. This is the closure out of five oppositions of these strong players. It all began November 4 in 2008 when the economy started crumbling around us. That was a major wake-up call that something was amiss in the economical organization of society and created the strong need and hope for deep changes. This was then leading to the election of Barack Obama with his visionary view and promises for a better future.

One of the longer astrological cycles we have been watching is coming to an end with the final opposition of Saturn with Uranus. This is the last one out of five oppositions of these strong planets. It all began November 4 in 2008 when the economy started crumbling around us. That was a major wake-up call that something was amiss in the economical organization of society and created the strong need and hope for deep changes. This was then leading to the election of Barack Obama with his visionary view and promises for a better future.

In his inauguration speech the message was that change will need all our hands and each one of us to take appropriate steps in our personal lives. Not something we like to hear. We all want mother and father to take care for things for us and we project that onto authority in general especially our government. But on the other hand it can be very self empowering because with your personal growth and adjustments you contribute to the whole, the morphogenetic field of integrated learning of the species. You are the one who is able and powerful, you are the one to make a difference by using your personal power.

This last and fifth opposition is the chance for integrating what we have learned throughout the last two years. That is a chance to set the course for alignment with better values and new structures to control the financial markets and economy.

Personal Action is Required

I believe that the oil spill is presenting us with a sobering view of how we run this planet into the ground. We behave like irresponsible children just looking at the short term benefit of our actions and this is not working so well anymore. We need to do some growing up pretty fast.

New energy sources and technologies are here and have been available since the discoveries of Nicklaus Tesla. Windmills and solar energy are easily available to individuals for personal use. Insulating your house and saving on energy usage is one way for you to contribute but also to save money in the long run.

Recycling is a powerful way to take responsibility and do something of relevance for the bigger picture of resources on our planet. Not buying cheaply produced products from China to throw away after short use but instead investing into quality products with a longer life will help too. There is a great book by Belma Michael Johnson called Easy Green you might enjoy for more inspiration about this subject.

Saturn Steps into Libra July 21

With the stern taskmaster Saturn you are always called to inner and outer work. You are strongly invited to face your deepest fears and insecurities in whatever area Saturn is situated in your personal horoscope. Whenever personal planets are touched by Saturn transits you take notice because there is no way around it; you have to deepen your insight and focus, confront your inner demon and shadow aspects related to it. Many of you will feel a deep inner relaxation if you have planets in Virgo now that Saturn moved into the next sign. And others will be handed the invitation of inner work with planets in Libra, opposing or squaring Libra.

Impatient and electrical Uranus loves to create sudden changes for the benefit of his vision for a better life which relates here to the field of relationships.

Mars Joins Saturn at 1 Degree Libra July 31

Adding to this already volatile mixture the Martian energy could spark an impressive eruption. Violent impulses, accidents and chaos can be the result. On a personal level you want to watch your temper and choose ways to let your life force energy flow in ways that satisfy all principles involved in this mix. Mars is your life force, your will and discernment but also your sexual energy. Saturn is blocking your expansion to challenge you to more clarity and insight. Uranus wants to change the status quo and is the rebel and visionary.

This week is a good time to ask yourself some questions about these three elements in your life and how you allow them to be. It is a good starting point for new decisions and to implement first steps towards your goal.

Because the whole playground of this action is in Libra we have this chance to recreate the way we relate with others. If you are in a relationship expect some challenges and changes. Decide what you really want and need from your partner in your relationships as well as friendships.

Relationships will have to change and if yours is not holding up to your inner growth in might fall away. Or you might find a new significant person in your life if you are single who is reflecting your new inner expansion and desires.

Saturn will be in Libra for about 2.45 years so there is no rush to get to new relationships on the horizon. You will have time to deepen and integrate with the new subject matter. But with the Uranus Mars opposition starting off the Libra theme this week it is definitely happening with a big bang to get your attention.

I hope you have been able to enjoy my astrological musings and find some benefit for yourself.

Aloha and many blessings, Shakti.
