Uranus is very much distinct
from the archetype of Saturn, if not its exact polar opposite. Uranus is the
reformer, liberator, and catalyst of change. Uranus is the archetypal quality
which breathes new life and vitality into current structures, often demanding
sudden, drastic overhauls if its needs are not met.
Oriented toward the future,
always seeking progress, and responsible for creative inspiration, Uranus
is responsible for innovation, inventive breakthroughs and quantum leaps in
collective and individual understanding and perception. Whereas Saturn rules
the here and now, Uranus rules the distant horizon, the realm of possibility
and potential–what could be.
Uranus is present
in the inexhaustible curiosity of a precocious child, the electrifying
performance of the sports star “in the zone,” the indefatigable social
activist, and the unkempt, alienated mad scientist. In its less-heroic
and often vilified form, Uranus can manifest as an obstinate eccentricity
or individualism, a pathological curiosity with the perverse and bizarre,
and the urge to shock and surprise. An overdeveloped Uranus needs change
for the sake of change, upsets structure at all costs, and abandons the
past without weighing the cost-benefits of such actions.
Returning our attention
to the current alignment, we see that the very different archetypal qualities
of Saturn and Uranus are placed in a dynamic–often confrontational–setting.
For the latter half of 1999 and the first half of 2000, Saturn and Uranus
will be in square aspect to each other.
