T SATURN IN OPPOSITION TO N MERCURY

As Saturn transits through our natal chart, it will eventually reach opposition to our natal Mercury. Saturn takes about 2 ½ years to move from one sign to the next sign and 29 years to make a full cycle returning to its original placement when we were born. Mercury is a neutral planet; it needs something to activate its energies. Transits and Progressions will act as a trigger.

 

The energies of the opposition between Saturn and Mercury will largely depend on the state of Mercury in your natal chart as well as the placement of natal Saturn. If Mercury is poorly placed, the opposition will be more challenging than if it were placed more comfortably with favourable aspects.

 

Mercury is the planet of the mind and has to do with our communication techniques, ability to formulate ideas and create concrete action based on our thought process. It also has to do with our speech and rationalization and can also speak of our reaction to life’s events.

 

Saturn has to do with the building process when linked with Mercury and how we view our objectives and what we might think our processing might reveal. Saturn often indicates hard work and disciplined effort. We must work towards finalizing our ideas when we are dealing with Saturn and Mercury. Saturn can make us worry about outcomes, fear mistakes or making the wrong decisions and usually requires some degree of concentration and deliberation before we move ahead. This can be a good thing or a difficult situation depending on how deep this thought process runs. The houses involved will define the areas of life involved.

 

Saturn can also produce concrete results with viable solutions and can build slowly towards solutions built to last. Oppositions are considered challenging aspects and often includes other people. People may be opposed to your decisions or think that you might be making the wrong choices moving ahead. There may be some obstacles in the way and it may take longer to achieve what you are setting out to do because of others’ influences or because of the slow moving progress which is often indicated by Saturn’s influence.

 

Your goal should be to clear your mind of obstacles/influences that hinder your decision making and also to listen to what others might have to say. After careful consideration push yourself forward towards your objectives ensuring it is the right way to go.
