Saturn Square Uranus Natal and Transit

Saturn square Uranus maximum orb 3°30′.

Saturn square Uranus natal creates a tremendous amount of inner tension. This tension gives you endless creative and spontaneous energy, making you very productive and controversial. You are strongly independent, self-aware, and progressive. But you also have a strong sense of responsibility and appreciation of structure and tradition’s stability. This inner conflict between independence and responsibility is the source of your tension and creative brilliance.

Being responsible, loyal, and free to be yourself is a constant battle. It means you may experience sudden relationship breakups and career changes. Disagreements about your level of relationship commitment can lead to sudden outbursts of temper. You may also experience conflict with superiors at work and authorities in general. You likely have difficulty obeying rules that limit your freedom, creativity, and self-expression.

You can have a polarizing effect on others, giving rise to many supporters and detractors. Your respect for tradition and the State goes only so far because of your strong belief in personal freedoms. You may become an activist or campaigner for human rights or the environment. However, you are unlikely a real anarchist, preferring to change things from the inside.

Throughout life, you must balance duty and freedom, which means you must learn to cooperate and compromise. You are at your best when you can work within a system while having enough space to choose. Through many tests and challenges, you will learn to balance routine and excitement, religion and science, conservative and liberal, sane and crazy.

If you rebel too much, you will lose the support, stability, and security you need for success. Sticking to a routine and always toeing the line will block your creativity and increase your tension to the boiling point. Ignoring society’s rules and moral codes would lead to you being labeled a weirdo or worse. So you must be yourself and do your own thing, but practical and ethical concerns must be considered.

Relaxing will help you channel your highly charged energy more efficiently and less disruptively. Sean Lennon has natal Saturn square Uranus at only 0°02′ orb. He found success through Transcendental Meditation:

“for me, it’s like a scientific method to calm my brain down and making my frontal lobe more active. It’s an exercise, really. It helps me to have about 10 percent more conscious thinking.” ^[1]

Saturn Square Uranus Transit

Saturn square Uranus transit brings restrictive change or unexpected restrictions. It can bring the change you don’t want while making it harder for you to make changes you want. This can be a frustrating time of rising tension and sudden, expected changes. But it does not have to be like that. If you stay open-minded, patient and flexible, what at first seem like challenges can be turned into opportunities to rid yourself of negative, restrictive, and limiting things in your life.

It is best not to force the change you want but to adapt to changing conditions. Wait to see what areas of life start causing problems and deal with them. This transit will determine what areas of your life no longer work in your best interests. Your intuition and higher self-awareness may not be working so well. So, notice the simple, practical things that make you tense and anxious.

This is not the time to resist change, nor is it the time to overreact. A well-considered, methodical, patient, and step-by-step approach is best. Commitment and responsibility may be issues that cause stress in relationships or your career, and you may also realize that bad habits or outdated beliefs are blocking your progress.

This transit can be particularly challenging if you rely on creative breakthroughs and intuitive insights for your work. If you lack inspiration or face a creative block, you may need to take a new approach to your work, try a new technique, or change scene. Also, your freedoms and rights may be restricted. If your duties and responsibilities become too oppressive, it is better to make adjustments before they crystallize as new structures in your life.
