Astrology Now in April-May-June 2007 - Jupiter square Uranus, Saturn opposition Neptune

by Robert Wilkinson

Today we look at why many are still dealing with large challenges despite the positive indicators of the Grand Fire Trines. Yes, it's due to the planets named in the title. These are major forces not to be ignored, since they persistently affect everyone in powerful ways. I've received many emails that things are very weird for a lot of people, with frustration due to a lack of clarity in some life areas and harsh, jarring realities in others. We'll be dealing with these for months to come, especially the Jupiter square Uranus, even as Saturn opposition Neptune will grow stronger through the end of June.

There is a harsh edge to our present reality, nurtured by many "real world" vectors even as we collectively careen down the razor's edge of the Grand Irrationality. Every time other interpersonal and transpersonal planets collide, we find ourselves in the middle of a great devastation that liberates us all from old perspectives. Much is evolving at a pace beyond anything we've known before now, both in our lives and genetically. The world as it's unfolding is as different from the world of our grandparents as we are from the ancient hunter-gatherers.

I have outlined many of the effects and solutions to this generic challenging energy in my weekly forecasts. Please re-read the most recent one to get a sense of the many factors at play right now.

The erratic qualities of this time are due to the Jupiter-Uranus square that most stresses out planets we have around 16 to 21 degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. This obviously affects everyone born in the mid-60s, since that was the time when Uranus and Pluto were in that span in Virgo and Saturn was in Pisces. Also 1957-58 (Saturn in Sag), 1972-73 (Saturn in Gemini), 1977-79 (Saturn in Virgo, Neptune in Sag), and 1987 (Saturn in Sag). People born during these times (as well as others involving these degrees) should be mindful that things can spin our of control into strange directions fairly easily and quickly.

If someone is about to explode or otherwise uncork, for good or ill, these degrees will most certainly be involved. Those with planets in this span must not allow pressure to explode sideways into self-defeating attitudes and behaviors, or try to run away from a higher law asserting itself. It is a very eccentric dynamic, and can create wreckage through thoughtlessness, a desire to "break free" into nowhere special, or erratic responses to opportunities that aren't unfolding "fast enough."

When you most want to break away from something or someone, or have an overwhelming urge to "push the river," take a breath, get oriented, and wait for opportunities to get your drive in gear rather than erratically bounce between feelings and the need to move, whether it's in the direction you want or not.

Then there's the Saturn opposition Neptune, a fog of restrained soup that seems to have frustrated our ability to achieve our ideal in any timely fashion. This is the tug of war between the reality and the ideal, and why there's so much push-pull in situations, or that bogged-down sensation where it's tough to get a grip on anything that allows freedom of movement. This has helped us narrow our focus to get a better sense of the whole of our affairs, and shown us how strong our heart is, both physical and metaphoric.

As noted in the weekly columns, this is most pressuring planets we have around 19 to 23 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. This primarily affects people born in the early 50's, since our Pluto is in that zone. Others affected are those born 1955 (Saturn in Scorpio), 1959-61 (Uranus in Leo), 1963 (Saturn in Aquarius), 1965-66 (Neptune in Scorpio), 1970-71 (Saturn in Taurus), 1977-78 (Saturn in Leo), 1984-85 (Saturn in Scorpio), and 1991-93 (Pluto in Scorpio, Saturn in Aquarius).

Of course, any other planets we have in these "hot zones" are bringing pressure on those parts of our lives to make choices and changes. For some, a liberation from oppressive conditions due to clarity, or abrupt opportunities to move in completely different directions than whatever has been the course in the past. You may expect these to grow stronger, since they are now both forming their aspects anew for weeks to come.

Jupiter-Uranus contacts are unusual or abrupt awakenings, unexpected opportunities, and new adventures, if somewhat strange. Saturn-Neptune contacts help us define intimacy in our lives, as well as what is realistic or unrealistic in our expectations or subconscious motives.

Also, since we're speaking of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, these are affecting everything large, such as entire nations, governments, the money supply, agriculture, international trade, and public health. These are major forces that transcend individuals, but affect us all in ways we may or may not recognize.

Since we must deal with these two major heavyweight forces in the foreseeable future, take thought of how you have experienced these so far, and how you would like to experience these in more productive ways in the future. You have nothing to lose except ambiguity, illusions, erratic responses, and rebelliousness. And that's not such a bad thing.

hi robert,
thankyou for this site and your reflections. since september last my life is a rollercoaster ride. i'm still on fluid ground,since my last post, and yet somehow i feel more alive than i have been for a very long time. it's a flatout whirlwind of the unexpected. enjoying uncertainty is new to me that's for sure. it seems easier this time 'round even though i'm aware that i have to keep a close eye on myself. there don't seem to be so many clouds around!!i visit your site daily now for perspective, and am forever grateful. avagoodone, brett.

[Robert]

Hi brett - I suspect many lives are on a roller coaster since the September 2006 eclipses cut us loose from old realities. I also feel more alive than in years past, and certainly do not have any more spare time on my hands! Though the uncertainty you mention is also present, there is much promise at the end of this wave, and many more waves to come. And of course yer welcome! Am avengagoodone as often as I can, eh?

[Juliet]

Hello Robert,

After reading this post all I could think of is "What a wonderful world"!! With all the flux in our lives, think of the possibilities to break out of our shells and do that "something different" we've always dreamed about.

Surf's up and I am ridin' the wave - catch you on the next crest.

Juliet :-)

[Phyllis]

What a rollercoaster ride Robert. Wow - this really brings the point home and I thank you for writing it. I'm trying desperately to ride the wave but the emotions sometime get in the way and the paralyzing effect of life right now are all to true for me and many others. I keep telling myself "Smile, move through it - this too shall pass." I guess it would be a good time to get physical to combat some of the nerves until this phase finishes. Thanks again. You're awesomely accurate.

Robert,

I posted a few weeks back, but gave some limited info on my natal configuration. Currently, I am feeling an exceptional amount of higher purpose. In fact, I have changed directions entirely back in July of '06 and, it is as if, the world has opened up from a purpose and spiritual stand point. I am doing what I love and I feel a tremendous amount of change is about to take place.

Is it possible for the jupiter uranus square to have strong positive affects on a person? Because, my current situation feels so right, and almost, necessary.....and not necessarily for myself but for helping others in the future (which I believe many will be in need over the next four to five years).....I would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for your incredible work,

Miguela

Thank You Robert, for this topic!!! I was one of many who did email you about how terribly wrong things coming out of nowhere, starting this past Monday, April 16th.
Your sentence stating the following, completely summed it up for what I'm personally experiencing: "Energy that can create wreckage through thoughtlessness, a desire to "break free" into nowhere special, or erratic responses to opportunities that aren't unfolding "fast enough."

I just hope it's not too late for me to be able to turn things around after my thoughtless actions this week, since I ruined two very important relationships in my life by not staying calm, or thinking situations through thoroughly.

I felt like I was not being respected at all by one person, so I reacted with strong words, child-like impatience, and a strong desire to want to break free of the situation when I didn't get the results I wanted quick enough.

If we do react erratically to someone else who is being thoughtless towards us and/or our needs, and in retaliation, we respond thoughtlessly, will this be a time period where we see others finally taking responsibility for their actions, since many people are being forced to learn lessons, or may be dealing with the expectations of others being heavily placed on them?

For me personally, I have a lot of empathy towards other's feelings, so when I do hurt someone, I acknowledge that I was wrong. But, many people I know, go through life never taking responsiblity or blame for how their actions affect others. It would be nice to see people who normally cannot see the error in their ways towards others, finally admit they too make mistakes.

That scares me to think I've messed up two important friendships forever.

[Lisa]

Hi Robert,

I'm still unsure about how transiting configurations affect the Asc/Desc. axis. My Asc/Desc. are at 21 Scorpio/Taurus, so the Saturn/Neptune opposition has been squaring them. Do you have a few words on how to positively work with this? I'm kind of afraid of this screwing up my primary relationship.

Thanks!
Lisa

[lorna]

Hello Robert,
Thank you for your consistently insightful postings.There are often angles which add to my understanding of astrology and as aan astrologer I really appreciate that.Just wanted to post about Nightlight News,Risa D'Angeles esoteric astrology site.As well as excellent astrology connected to the Rays ,she has something to say about the bees.
On a personal note,since Uranus conjuncted the transiting North Node in Pisces which is conjunct my natal North Node,I have miraculously regained my mobility and health after 3 years of chronic heart failure and a terminal diagnosis with an added rare lung disease.I fell as if I have a literal new lease of life !
Warmly,
Lorna

[Robert]

Hi Juliet - Well, surfing can be exciting as well as perilous, but at least we know we're alive! And yes, those of us who are flexible will have one of the wildest rides in history.

Hi Phyllis - Well, once we embrace the rollercoaster of the astral plane, it's not so terrifying when we see how much power we can derive from the process of detaching from the short view and mastering the larger process. It's all part of learning how to become fully human, and that of course involves dealing with strong feelings and not losing our cool or getting confused or overwhelmed. And you're right that remembering "this too will pass" and getting the occasional physical workout helps the nerves. Thanks for the thumbs up on the accuracy.

Hi Miguela - Good that you are opening to your higher purpose. That's the beginning of major change, and unexpected results always develop from such openings. Yes, Jupiter square Uranus always has good effects if one is aligned with dharma. It may be a bit crazy, but it's always a spur to one's higher genius opening to a greater life adventure. The squares are challenges to "right action" which of course can be great when you're open to higher purpose. And of course you're welcome. Your life will show major progress as a result of Jupiter's transit this year, and the eclipse on your Mars should open some good things as well.

Hi Lisa S. - Well, if they're truly your friends, this is grist for future dialogue. If they're not your friends, then there are others to be made in the future as you process this experience. I'm sorry you lost your cool, but that IS the nature of this energy, and shows us all how to move into new realms without sinking the best of what has been. I will affirm that your friends will be able to forgive you and you all can open to a deeper, more compassionate way to be with each other in your shared humanness.

As for disrespect, well, I don't take well to that, and usually must restrain my flamethrower from carpetbombing their ego assumptions. Sometimes I succeed better than others. However, my inner filters know who my friends are, so it's easier for me to take the interaction in a non-destructive direction. And my true friends NEVER disrespect me. They may bust me, make a joke about something, but never make me feel like I'm not a good person. So take that into consideration. As for others taking responsibility, that's more Saturn than the planets of this article. And with Jupiter trine Saturn, yes, everyone is understanding their limits in one form or another, or reacting to unrealistic expectations. Nothing wrong with breaking free of another's chains that are not yours to wear. You'll probably find that your friends do take responsibility for their errors, while those who don't are not that safe to be around.

Hi Lisa - Let go of the need to indulge in power struggles you don't need. Try not to let the pressure of uncertainty cause you to implode or explode. Saturn ruler of your third shows you can focus on making your words and thoughts more loving, heartfelt, and mature. You have a need to feel that you have people close to you who love you and open new possibilities rather than confusion or doubt. And having re-defined "truth" in the recent past, it may naturally result in shifts in relationships.

Hi Lorna - Congratulations on your new lease on life! Always welcome news to find out that the configurations have taken someone into newer, better spaces. Live well, live long, and be the compassionate growth magnetism that this has awakened. Aum.

[Valerie Morrissey]

Very interesting article about these two powerful aspects. I have just found your blog, nice to meet you. I have Jupiter transiting my 10th and Uranus about to enter my 2nd and I'm contemplating a career change. I'm a graphic artist, big in technology. Tired of the computer rat race. My company is going through a rough patch and many of us are afraid of getting laid off! Several, including management, have already been let go.(Uranus)I also have Saturn transiting my Venus and Pluto in the 7th, opposite transiting Neptune in my first, and I have been alone for ten years. No prospects of a companion in sight. It's really hard to meet guys. Also, money is really tight, so I need to keep this job. With this opposition aspect, I think I'm supposed to get used to being alone and self sufficient. I'll be glad when this aspect goes away. There is probably a change in spiritual awareness thing going on here, too, although I'm feeing kind of dreary in that dept. Anyway, I'm almost 53, a Cancer, and have already seen a lot of changes and unusual experiences in this life. See:
Sun Can 7, Moon Can 2, Jupiter Can 8 (there's a lucky combo for you), S.node Can 14, Mercury Can 17, Uranus Can 22, Venus Leo 14, Pluto Leo 23, Neptune Lib 23, Saturn Sco 2, Mars Cap 0, N.node Cap 14, Aquarius rising 8, Scorpio MC 29. Just thought you might like know what my experience has been. My plan presently is to roll with the punches, pretty much taking the Zen approach. Good luck to all of you out there. I think Neptune means having faith that things will turn out fine, even if you can't see what's in front of you.

Valerie

[Mary]

Hi Robert,
I've been reading your essays for a bit and really enjoying them.
I have 24 Venus in Taurus/8th house (first and eighth house ruler) and wondering what you might suggest would be a positive intention to have going into this upcoming saturn/neptune energy.

Thank you very much,
Mary

[Robert]

Hi Valerie - Welcome to the site. Good that you're thinking in the future, since you'll ride the waves of change more easily than those who cling to things already gone (thank you Jack Tempchin!) The Saturn transit shows you're definitely rewriting your address book. As for no one on the radar screen, perhaps you've had your magnetism on other things than a mate? And yes, it's not easy to attract someone aware that we could be with for the rest of our lives. Still, it is possible, if we open to learning what that might take. Start with affirming you are willing to attract a true friend who you might enjoy and might enjoy your company for years. With Aquarius rising, you're a being who is so out there you're probably always feeling like you're on the outside looking in. Definitely roll, adapt, affirm, and adjust.

Hi Mary - Thanks for your praise. You're going to have a blast next year so affirm your willingness to regenerate in ways that help you remember that life is to be enjoyed, fully and with abandon, while being sweet and gentle with all other sentient beings. Play at your likes and loves, let go of all you no longer can live with or that no longer is an accurate reflection of your values and likes, and get grounded in the timeless.

You're here to live life to the fullest in the simple sweetness of self-sustaining enjoyment. That means letting go of obsolete means of enjoying things that no longer provide the pleasure they used to. Find ways to see how your issues are relevant to others, and face September as your launch point to a new reality. This is a time of many things coming to the surface. Jupiter in your 4th next year trine your Venus should prove very enjoyable.

[Pepper]

Robert,

About breaking away... My Venus in Sag at 16 degrees is caught in the mix. I find am chaffing at the bit to break free from so many long-term relationships, especially ones ones inherited from my parents/family. I have Venus trine Uranus, Moon conjunct Pluto and Saturn conjunct Mercury in my natal chart -- superficial simply does not work for me. Any suggestions on how to best move on with grace? Thank you.

[Robert]

Hi Pepper - I'm sure Jupiter's expansive tendencies are creating a "chafing at the bit" energy. Saturn is helping you stabilize the ones that really matter. Try to frame things in larger contexts, get organized and disciplined in examining your perceptions and coordinations from the standpoint of overcoming Saturn's chains, turning your experience into forms of dominion over your life and affairs. Learn optimism, self-reliance, patience, and open to innovative points of view.

[Beth]

Hi Robert;

I’ve been reading your site for about a year now and I love it. Thanks for all you do!
Your article really hit right on…I am so ready to say goodbye to the old and am anxiously looking forward to the new-in many areas of my life. Over the last 6-12 months I have initiated and taken quite a lot of steps to move this process forward and now I am feeling incredibly frustrated. I feel like I am in a holding pattern beyond my control, waiting for the opportunities that I want to break through. Any words of wisdom to keep the peace within?

Thanks for your site and work!!
Beth

[Valerie Morrissey]

Hi Robert,
Thankyou very much for your encouraging response. Being a Cancer I've spent most of my life clinging to the past (South node in Cancer) and have been consciously working to think more of the future (Jupiter). And yes, as Aquarius rising, I am really out there! I do feel like I'm outside looking in, you really hit the nail on the head. Sometimes I think I'm an alien switched at birth. I'm an interesting combination of Aquarius and Cancer. Anyway, that metaphor about riding the waves was a perfect motto to live by. Very Neptunian. I always come back to it after going through a bad patch. Until now I had not been paying attention to the fact that everyone else is going through weird changes and confusion as well as me. As shown by all you other people writing on this blog... your experiences are very interesting and helpful to me, and I'm enjoying all your articles. We are all good souls trying to get back to the light, each in our own way.

And who is Jack Tempchin?

Have a nice day....

Valerie :)

Hi,

I knew something huge was happening. I was born in 1964, with Saturn-Moon Conjunct in Pisces, Uranus conjunct Pluto in Virgo and all of this is part of a T-cross with Mars in Gemini.

I was born restless and now I am doing my best to stay centered and not sabotage opportunities that come my way. I am watching my words too since Mercury is the strongest planet in my chart.

I have witnessed that my words are often charged and I am doing my best to stay conscious of this and with a weak Venus, I am also having to put a lot of effort into learning diplomacy. I also feel like I am stepping on eggshells these days or landmines! I realize that I am my worse enemy and I hope that I can stay centered and avoid causing myself more suffering.

If there is anything I would like to liberate myself from, it is my own ability to sabotage my life. Think of the coyote with her tail on fire...

Anyone else born during the summer of 1964? What are your experiences at the moment?

[Patricia]

Hi Valerie,

I am also Cancerian, but with a Cancer North Node.

A relative of mine has an Aquarius AC and she often says that she feels out of sync with others.

I think Princess Diana of Wales had an Aquarius Moon and a Cancerian Sun, if that is helpful at all. From the little I know about her life, she seemed to struggle with this dynamic--going against the grain of her elite society in the way that she raised her sons. That is just one example of how this dynamic can play itself out.

I think there is a lot of mythology about Aquarius being a detached rebel. The Aquarians that I have known are more conservative that I am and I have a strong Saturn signature in my chart.

They tend to work in conservative environments and occasionally they shock a few people, by acting radical in some way or they act immature in some way, like this Aquarius man I once dated who stuffed a bunch of dollar bills in this belly dancer's bra at a company party.

But all people are capable of shocking others given the right circumstances.

Patricia

[Valerie Morrissey]

Hi Patricia,
Thankyou for your input about Aquarius and Cancer. It's interesting what you said about the mythology... You'll find a lot of sources that say Aquarians are actually conservative. It is a fixed sign, co-ruled by Saturn. Note Ronald Reagan, Republican Aquarian. But they do march to a different drum and being eccentric, rebel in their own way. They are pioneers of change. I myself am conservative, but have very definite (liberal!)opinions about today's moral issues. I can't stand ignorance and hypocrisy.

By the way, with Mars about to join Uranus in Pisces, energizing that T-square in your chart, be very careful driving and so forth. Find a really good physical activity or project that requires lots of energy. I can see it happening around me already, crazy drivers and sudden incidents popping out all over the place! Right now it seems to me the whole world is going insane.
Ommmmmmm...

Valerie :)

[Robert]

Hi Beth - Thanks for your praise of the site. I believe the height of human success is to know when to plan, when to act, when to be bold, when to hold back, and how to hold inner certainty when the course you've set is true and good for you. Your Jupiter/Asc wants to run wild at a moment's notice into the wild blue yonder. The trick is to act exactly at the right time with exactly the right means. Use the waiting to learn, love, enjoy, and become strong, then act at the right time.

Hi Valerie - Aquarius and Cancer make for an interesting mix of attachment and detachment, personality and impersonality. The two together yield the world servant with the personal touch that everyone can feel nurtured by. Jack Tempchin is someone I've known for awhile, one of the advantages of living in LA. He's written some of the greatest songs we've ever heard, including "Peaceful Easy Feeling," "Smuggler's Blues," and as per my reference, the Eagles hit "Already Gone." ;-) (I just can't help it sometimes...)

Hi Patricia - 1964 was a great year to be born! Magic was in the air, and would be for a few years after. Great atmosphere, with 7 Beatle hits in the top 10. Your process as you describe it is a very accurate way to characterize the mutable squares and oppositions. Centered is the only way to be when squares and oppositions are active. Overcoming self-sabotage becomes easier as we learn to surrender to the Voice of the Silence that always lets us know when it's better to meditate than whatever.

Aquarians can be VERY conservative, as per their Saturnine influences. Absolutely free to do their thing in their way, future oriented and usually optimistic, but very conservative. I believe Aquarians are the ones that by adopting the new they compel the acceptance from others who see the future unfolding in the Aquarian actions.

Hi Valerie - You hit Aquarian energy right on the money. Ultraprogressive in some ways, but always upholding a fixed ideal. Also, thanks for your comment about the Mars-Uranus. I have observed these past few days that aspect coupled with the Venus square Mars to manifest strange rudeness, a lack of social graces, abrupt u-turns by people almost causing accidents several times an hour, people popping in and out of side alleys and streets, and other over-the-top actions. The whole world is somewhat insane, but given what used to be considered "sane" this may be a Grand Irrationality that will yield good results over the long run, once the fever has run its course. Aum Namah Shivaya!

[Valerie Morrissey]

Robert-
Oh, I get it!!!! (Jack Tempchin) Already gone... I love all those Eagle songs! (me being a hippie 70's person)I am sensing a synchronicity here. I am having a lot of fun reading this blog, you sure have written alot. Could keep me busy reading days, even weeks. You are a professional full time astrologer I take it? I have been writing articles myself (don't have a blog yet)and am seriously considering going after my heart's desire(s)which are astrology and drawing/painting, and saying sayonara to the tech world...(Tired of the constant damn upgrades)Only how to translate that into food and rent- LOL.

Anyway,
Rock on

Valerie :)

[Robert]

Hi Valerie - Yes, I am a full time professional astrologer, public speaker, book writer (If we can truly call any book writer "professional") and a junkyard full of trivia! This blog is part of my professional efforts to bring a higher voice to the public dialogue about the craft, as well as a global cantina where we all get to find each other and many surprises. Glad you found the site, since in fact it does have a lot of good info to help explain all sorts of things about the craft.

Neither astrology nor writing is that great a way to pay the bills with any consistency, if my 35 year romance with each is any indication. But they are fulfilling, and I meet a lot of great people. Maybe there's a way or two where you could combine the tech stuff with your heart interests in an innovative way that would yield rewards for both pocketbook and heart. Will definitely "put another dime in the jukebox..."

[Valerie Morrissey]

Well, I think it's great, to do what you love for the greater good. That's what really makes it fulfilling. You definitely have the right idea. (What sign are YOU?)I've been doing horoscopes at no charge.... I feel as tho it's a gift that should be given away. (it's the Jupiter side of me I guess) If I get a book together, which I have been considering, it would be like a work of art, not necessarily a money maker. Well,I won't throw the baby out with the bath water, seeing as how technology has brought me to this wonderful internet place. Thank God for dsl. I'll just get back to my real job now, gotta get a newspaper out tonite (Uranus and Mercury!)

Valerie :)

[Patricia]

Hi Valerie,

I only saw one small fender-bender without any bent fenders recently. I was just a witness.

Thankfully I don't drive, but it seems like some of the bus drivers here have been driving somewhat wrecklessly lately.

I am more concerned with my past rebelliousness catching up to me while I try to re-enter the job market. That mutable T-Cross in my chart with its heavy-hitters, Mars, Pluto, Uranus, Saturn and Moon, has landed me in trouble too many times.

I need to learn Venus diplomacy even if Venus is retrograde and unaspected except for a loose square with Chiron in my chart.

At least my fourth house is in Taurus, which at least gives me a somewhat peaceful home.

[Robert]

Hi Valerie - Yes, the freedom is worth the price of the trip. I am Sun-Mercury-Mars in Aries across the 9th/10th, Leo Rising, Aquarius Moon, Venus in Taurus, Jupiter conjunct North Node in Pisces, with Saturn conjunct South Node in Virgo. My first three to four years I did hundreds of charts without charging. Good way to learn, since if there's no money there's no lumber. Eventually people started yelling at me to take their money and tape the sessions, and the rest is history. I used to publish a magazine AND produce television, so I understand deadlines.

Hi Patricia - This is the time when you will know the health of your Mutable planet functions! Venus RX would imply you can be more trusting while exploring what you really like as opposed to what you believe others might like. The Sun in Taurus shows you your platform each year from which Autumn flowers will come.
