Saturn was the traditional Ruler until the discovery of Uranus, which was then assigned to Aquarius. While it cannot be divorced from current events, almost all of which are indicators of the failure of the status quo to hold, it’s interesting to note that this is a square between the co-rulers of Aquarius. (A new Saturn/Uranus cycle begins on Jat 28° Gemini and it’s interesting to note that the new cycle will begin almost exactly opposite from where the current cycle began in Saggitarius in 1988.) All month long we are in the final square, which is also a significator for the entire cycle. We’re still dealing with the reactions to that shifting paradigm.Ĭurrently, we are in the final waning square of the entire 1988 cycle. (The others took place on February 5, 2009, September 15, 2009, April 27, 2010, and July 27, 2010.) That first opposition is the significator for the cycle because Barack Obama was elected President of the United States on the day it was exact, and never was there a more perfect example of a challenge to the status quo and the changing of the old guard than the election of a black man to the most important office in the land. There were five oppositions in the middle of this 1988 cycle, the most important one being the first that occurred on November 4, 2008. Putin replaced Boris Yeltsin as president of Russia. Within the range of the first waxing square in 1999, the Columbine High School massacre occurred. Nelson Mandela was released from prison in 1990. Soon after those conjunctions in 1988 we saw the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 we also witnessed the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union. The reaction to that challenge and the ensuing creativity can often be quite extreme. So when Saturn and Uranus interact in any configuration, the power of their combined influence challenges the status quo as it simultaneously provokes change. But Uranus isn’t necessarily only an anarchist-Uranus is the ancient sky god who throws its lightning bolts of illumination into stagnant waters to provoke upheaval and stimulate progress. It signifies revolution and holds high the banner of innovation and invention. Uranus symbolizes the principle of change. It holds things together and therefore also signifies order that is expressed through authority-government and all the other organizations that hold things together. As I often remind readers, the past creates the present just as the present creates the future, and understanding where time intersects is always a valuable endeavor.īut before we do, we should know our players: Saturn represents the status quo-it is the structure of all things, from the spine of a human being to the spine of an idea. A quick look at what was happening in 1988–89 could prove insightful as we try to make sense of what is happening now. It’s always helpful to remember that the start of a cycle sets the agenda for the entire cycle and the final square within that cycle tends to reveal information about the whole interaction-no phase of any cycle exists in a vacuum. The source of December’s sour signature is a monthlong build-up toward the final Saturn/Uranus square of this year, which is also the final square in a cycle that began in 1988 with three conjunctions at the final degrees of Sagittarius (the was on February 13, the next occurred on June 26 the final conjunction was on October 18, 1988. Sorry to be a messenger of woe, but the 2021 holiday season isn’t all that jolly. December (at least on the surface) doesn’t appear to be as aggressive, yet it nevertheless unfolds with a stinging intensity as we move inexorably toward the third and final square between Saturn and Uranus that occurs on December 24. November was rough, especially as we endured one pernicious planetary interaction after another. Once again, it’s hard to know where to begin delineating and describing December’s astral weather-the sky is busy this month, and while the first two weeks are the busiest, underlying the hustle and bustle of seasonal festivities is a potent, negative interaction that keeps spoiling the fun.
