Transiting Uranus moves slowly through the Zodiac staying in one sign for approximately 7 years. It takes a cycle of 84 years for Uranus to come back to its original position in your natal chart.
Saturn on
the other hand takes about 2 ½ year to move through a sign and 29 years to
complete its cycle around the Zodiac.
While
Uranus is in transit it will impact all the positions of our natal planets and
the house cusps and angles. Its energies usually instigate sudden and
unexpected change. If we do not act on what needs work, it often pushes for
this to happen. It is known as the awakener and does just that. Anything that
no longer suits our evolutionary growth is subject to change and disruption.
Uranus is
like an electronic impulse stirring us and pushing us in new directions. When
associated with Saturn, which is quite unlike Uranus, the impulse is to change
direction but Saturn does not like this type of influence. Saturn is happy if
things stay the same and are steadfast, reliable and secure. Saturn fights
change and does not like disruption to what it comfortable and stable. As you
can imagine even without considering the square aspect, which is one of
challenge and disruption, these two energies do not sit well with each other.
The square
between these two giants in Astrology creates tension, pushes for resolution
and defies anyone that refuses to adapt and adjust. The square is challenging
enough that it often pushes us into action so we will resolve the issues at
hand. These push us into action and although the square is considered a
difficult and challenging aspect to deal with because of the need for
resolution it can also be considered an action aspect that helps us resolve
issues.
During this
time Uranus wants us to take leaps of faith and move in a new direction. Saturn
likes things the way they are, and resists change even though it might
recognize that change is what is required at this point. This could be a
relationship that no longer suits your evolution. It could be a change in
occupation or a massive change in life’s direction. Often at around the age 42
when we are undergoing the Uranus opposition, people make dynamic changes of
direction that many do not see coming.
It is best
to have a clear look at what life is trying to tell you. Sometimes change is
what is required even when it may be worrisome and you do not know what lies
ahead. However, after careful consideration you might want to make some changes
and time will tell where they will take you. Uranus often brings us right where
we belong, but the change is not always an easy one. It might be time to break
away from anything that feels restrictive.
