Uranus and Sarturn....Laurel and Hardy Opposition

The push and pull energy of life gives it its highs and lows and its change and stability. Without it, life would not be as much fun for either we would live in a flat line.

For the last two years there has been a tremendous energy of change as the Saturn Uranus Opposition continues till about July 2010. These two planets have a tremendous push and pull energy that remind me of Laurel and Hardy.

Stanley gets into trouble and Hardy tries to fix it in his know it all fashion but really only winds up making the problems worse. These two can not exist without each other and though they are always at each other throats they are truly two sides of the same coin.

Uranus (Laurel) brings chaos and change and Saturn (Hardy) bring control and order. Saturn is actually there to keep Uranus from destroying everything and Uranus is there to keep Saturn from over controlling everything to the point of no freedom and no fun. Think of a prison...yup that is how Saturn likes it. By the rules and everybody under control. Uranus is more like the Sixties...freedom...peace and love. But eventually even too many tie die shirts and Dead concerts can make a person sick.

So as much as these two bicker and pull and push each other apart, they really need each, they bring balance to each other and to the world. There have been many good things come from other Saturn Uranus opposition.

The sixties was all about freedom and civil rights. Hard to believe that not even a hundred years ago certain people could not vote, certain people were seen as less than a person in this country. Even women's rights have not been around very long. It was forbidden for women to own land, now they can own corporations and can even run for president.

So just like the sixties were a turbulent time of change these last few years up till now and the next two will be a big time for change from health care, to immigration, to social security, to energy and regulating government spending and perhaps bringing something back to the people and not just corporations. There is a balance that needs to be restored. When things are out of balance it seems that there is tremendous anxiety.

AND A LOOK AHEAD TO 2012

The next Saturn/Uranus opposition occurred in the spring of 1964, this time with Saturn in Pisces and Uranus in Virgo. This effects of this opposition are inextricably woven in with the conjunction of Uranus to Pluto that occurred at the same time, so the pressure for conformity of Saturn was battling not only with Uranus but also with the powerful climactic urge of Pluto for change and transformation. This was a period of unprecedented cultural rebellion and revolution: so-called "free love" and open marriage, revolutionary ideas in psychology and psychiatry, Black Power and the civil rights movement, Women's Liberation and the battle for female equality. The Beatles and the British Invasion, and Chubby Checker brought black music into the homes of middle class white folks for the first time.
