So! This is this one heck of an aspect, and we are in the gates of it now, at the time of writing (24.1.2021). February 2021 is, in general, looking to be a tense month astrologically speaking- but for now, I choose to focus on this particular aspect, which repeats in June and December this year. It will not occur again until 2043.
Please bear in mind that this is a slow-moving aspect, and will be more or less in effect throughout this year. 2021 all added up equals 5, and that means CHANGE- the brink! Fives in tarot, for example, are not easy to deal with. But we do need these moments to put us on the right track, and faith in the Divine helps us navigate them. I assure you that all is well and everyone is safe, but you will possibly not feel that way. Work on your connexion to Divine source and it will be easier to feel at peace.
Saturn and Uranus in square represent two collective forces in conflict. One is more to the surface of the psyche (Saturn), the other comes from deeper within (Uranus). To the individual, this will feel like upsetting changes beyond our control.
Saturn is the one who stands beyond Jupiter, and tells him that he cannot have his way forever- that endless expansion only leads to meaningless empty glut. With Saturn in Aquarius, the right to say and do as we please online (ruled by Aquarius) is being called more and more into question.
Uranus of course stands beyond Saturn, and asks us to look beyond, to make the new beginning from where we were forced to stop. With Uranus in Taurus, traditional norms and financial institutions, the things of enduring tangible value- are forced through a cataclysmic upheaval. A lot of people have become out of work and there are massive changes to the agricultural sectors. Certain platforms such as Facebook are cracking down, which leads Jupiterian types (like myself) to expand in a more disciplined manner- in a better direction!

As for the chart for the exact aspect, I note the Sun is in the final degree of Aquarius- which is a very weak place for the Sun. The Sun is of course in detriment in Aquarius, and the 29th degree is a place of stifled and worn-out energy. It is so plain to see that there are ego-driven cycles that are being called to end, that the identity is aching to be completely reborn.
The waxing Moon in Taurus will be conjunct Uranus in Taurus, adding to the intense, fixed energy of this aspect. The Moon will be applying towards the first quarter phase, representing a change in direction and an intensity of growth. What is called to occur NOW will have great ramifications for financial growth, if we can heed our intution!
Mercury will be retrograde and sailing amid Venus and Jupiter in the middle degrees of Aquarius. Communication will definitely be haywire, and I warn my readers against “big talk”- false and phoney promises, especially from politicians and media/ social media moguls. Long term and on the positive side, this calls for a reevaluation of how we view ourselves and how we connect to the rest of humankind.
This strong Uranus/Aquarius/Saturnian energy calls us to look beyond ourselves, and towards the world as a whole. It is no longer OK to do things simply because they suit us, but we are called to have an expansion of consciousness and to keep the collective in mind, with all that we do. I have noticed a lot of people saying “We, not Me”- which is the first crude utterings of a new awareness that must and will be born, but not before we have shed all those things that are no longer true and authentic to who we are.
We must have an awakening to ourselves and our own true nature, our own delicious balance of light and dark, before we can truly become co-creators. I don’t want to hear anyone talking about love and light without pain and darkness as well, as both are parts of nature. Uranus in Taurus wants us to hear the truth of the earth, not the sanitised and monetised version of the truth.
I have noted a lot of astrologers calling this an aspect of revolution, which to me does not stir far from the truth. However, there are so many different ways in which we can wage a revolution! We have been educated to think that revolution is an act of bloodshed on the streets by which we force greater political justice for ourselves, but that (to me) is only a tiny little part of the picture. For without a revolution of hearts and minds, without a revolution of the Spirit- there can be no meaningful change in people, and we just end up with the same old repression under a different name.
I urge all of you to follow your truth, but with discipline mindfulness and restraint. Don’t just go out and do whatever, but keep in mind the effects of your actions. Meditate every day, turn your backs on meaningless consumerism, and be kind to others. Research relentlessly and keep your wits about you. I believe in you all!
