Turning Things Upside Down

Can you feel that? It's the immense, life-changing force of Saturn moving opposite Uranus -- the Great Awakener. These two powerful planets are about the face off in a rare astrological opposition. This planetary event which will last until 2010, bringing with it an era of great change.

Historically, a Saturn/Uranus opposition happens during times of huge social and political change. The last opposition in the 1960s brought massive protests and even revolution. Saturn represents order and security. Saturn can also symbolize the accepted way of doing things. Meanwhile, Uranus is all about chaos and change, even rebellion.

What does it mean when structure and chaos are at odds? Many astrologers think it's significant that Saturn opposite Uranus happens on Election Day 2008, when the country goes out to the polls to choose the next president. Many view stern Saturn as representing John McCain, since he is conservative and traditional. Meanwhile, they think that revolutionary Uranus is Barack Obama, whose campaign was based heavily on the concept of change.

But what does the Uranus-Saturn opposition mean for you? This is a time for taking a harder look at your life and having your own personal revolution -- break down walls and limitations! With structure and chaos at odds, you might find yourself focusing on what is most crucial in your life. You'll start to see a new vision for the future of who you are and what you want out of life. Understand that these planetary influences can throw you for a loop! But at the same time, the chaos that Uranus brings can be creative and helpful -- Uranus will force you to look at situations in your life that simply aren't working. If they aren't working, there will be chaos and you will have to fix it!
