SATURN & URANUS at YULE
Saturn/ Uranus Squares of 2021
Feb 17, June 14, Dec 24 (then not for another 45 years)
Yule 2021 is energized with the last of three square interactions between Saturn and Uranus. If you will remember, Yule 2020 was charged with the Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, initiating a new era. Well, this Saturn/Uranus square is the inevitable conflict and tension that follow such a significant change.
A few key pieces of info:
1) Saturn is the traveller responsible for discipline, structure, guardianship, authority, and social order. He is currently residing in Aquarius – agent: Uranus – where his energies are very group-focused and potentially motivated to change, if it benefits the group.
2) Uranus is the traveller responsible for rebellion, revolution, progress, technology, and enlightenment. He is currently occupying Taurus, which is calming and grounding his often erratic energies. Uranus is also currently retrograde, which turns his energies inward and can sometimes feel a bit stifling for this traveller.
3) A “square” interaction is when two travellers align at 90° to each other, and is characterised by challenge, tension, conflict, and obstacles.
As a quick summary of these three points, the group as a whole feels and knows a change is necessary, but the individuals are rebelling against it (back and forth for all of 2021). Essentially, the old structures of Saturn are in conflict with the Promethean attempts of Uranus to bring the fire of enlightenment to the masses. Each individual experiences the tension and challenge of this energy, but in different ways and areas of life.
Ultimately, the position, alignment, and energies favour progress and social change as Saturn attunes to the resonance of Aquarius and Uranus materializes its energies in Taurus. However, hierarchy and status will continue to play significant roles for the time being.
As punctuation to this Saturn/Uranus trilogy of squares, I leave you with a quote from Dr. Viktor Frankenstein (Mary Shelley):
“nothing is so painful to the human mind as great and sudden change”
Frankenstein – a novel about the great and horrific potentials of scientific advancement – was completed during the 1817 Saturn/Uranus square and the 1931 movie was released during another Saturn/Uranus square.
