Respectful Rebellion Under the Final Exact Saturn-Uranus Square

We experience the third and final closing square aspect between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus tonight (exact at 1:17 a.m. Central on December 24). The first two exact Saturn-Uranus squares occurred on February 17 and June 14, 2021. This prolonged square aspect, strongly in effect throughout 2021, has indicated a year of instability and uncertainty with near-constant structural change. This has meant we've had to stretch our personal adaptation skills to extreme and uncomfortable points at times throughout this year. 

I've written about the themes of respectful (Saturn) rebellion (Uranus) associated with Taskmaster Saturn square Cosmic Agitator Uranus, and I'm including a previous article on the subject (lightly updated) to draw attention to these themes as the third and final Saturn-Uranus square becomes exact tonight. Vigilance on these points will be required long after this square is out of orb. 

From May 21, 2021:

In general terms, the transit of Saturn in Aquarius (March 21, 2020 to March 7, 2023) indicates a challenge laid at our feet to build, establish, and reinforce (Saturn) the type of future and the type of communities (Aquarius) we wish to live within. 

Do we wish to live in a human-centred world where we work to meet the real needs of the people, or do we wish to live in an artificial, technology-dominated world where human beings are a commodity to be controlled, data-mined, and exploited? Do we wish to live a natural life, a life as part of nature, or do we wish to live an artificial life of virtual reality? The influence of technology, particularly top-down control (Saturn) through technology (Aquarius), is a major theme for the Saturn in Aquarius transit.

[With Saturn in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus throughout 2021], we're locked into a period of acute structural change. Many things are changing on many fronts, and people could be sort of losing it under this extremely uncertain and hard-to-pin-down energy. The word "unhinged" comes to mind. Things flying loose. Extreme adaptations to changing conditions. Anxieties or dread nipping at us from multiple angles. Difficulty staying grounded or feeling safe in the material world.

We're required to put extra effort into stability, reliability, normalcy, routine, and personal traditions in order to come through this year in good standing, without being emotionally shredded or left in a shambles by the often-harsh energies. 

Both our emotional and physical anchors must be tended, reinforced, and protected throughout the year and particularly around the times when the Saturn-Uranus square is at its tightest.

Interview at MysticMag.com

A very happy solstice to you! The Sun entered Capricorn this morning, marking winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. Here in Canada, it's always a joyful observance to mark the shortest day(s) and the gradual return to more sunshine and daylight.

We have a few cosmic gear shifts underway at the moment, including the Venus retrograde station at 26 degrees Capricorn conjunct Pluto on December 19, the direct station of wounded healer Chiron at 8 degrees Aries on December 20, and the third and final square between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus at 11 degrees on December 23. Venus now moves retrograde into a second exact conjunction to Pluto at 25 degrees Capricorn on Christmas Day, December 25.

This astrology indicates a bit of heavy slogging, to say the least, but to lighten things up, I have something fun to share:

I recently had the honour of being interviewed by MysticMag.com. MysticMag is a site that covers the metaphysical and spiritual arts, including psychics, astrologers, tarot readers, intuitive healers, herbalists, and many others. The site has a really great blog that mixes different types of articles with practitioner/reader interviews.

It’s somewhat difficult to write an article like this, as I know my own “spiritual anarchist” ways are not necessarily shared by others, and it’s hard not to offend people these days by sharing differing perspectives. We all have different beliefs, but the transit of Jupiter in Pisces will, with luck, highlight the common ground that exists even among very different backgrounds and faiths. As always, I can only write this article in my own language, from my own perspective, but please translate it (and all articles) through your own lens of understanding and know that I don’t mean to offend anyone with any of the things written here. I never intentionally mean to offend - unless you’re a noxious internet troll just begging for it. Heh 

Cosmic Spotlight planet Jupiter dips into earliest Pisces from May 13 to July 28, 2021, and this sets an energy and tone for the rest of the transit in 2022. Jupiter will retrograde back into Aquarius from July 28 to December 28, 2021, and the bulk of the Jupiter in Pisces action will occur from late December 2021 through early May 2022 [with a final dip into the sign from October 27 to December 20, 2022 to end the year].
