I'm sorry you have had so many problems! I have Virgo Uranus conjunct Pluto and my Moon in my 4th house and I did have a lot of health problems at the time Saturn was transiting that conjunction. I did recover and am doing well. Good luck!

Great to hear!!! I'm glad you're doing well and I'm hoping after this transit I see less of the hospital and more of the world! Thank you!!!

Hi Pepe,

I'm not an astrologer but I like playing with the symbolic frame that astrology offers and using it in my own unique way. It's an art of sorts.

I listened to someone talking about Saturn not so long ago. What they basically said is that transit Saturn shows where one continually asks questions, while transit Jupiter points to area where answers to that questions are most easily found. It doesn't mean it has all the answers, it only shows where answers flow in most natural manner. I like that interpretation immensely.

I interpret conjunctions, for myself only, as awareness of/recognizing something from within.

So Saturn-Uranus conjunction would be a symbolic representation of questions I possibly ask myself, questions about personal freedom, independence but also interconnectedness that I may have not asked before in that format. Saturn will trine Uranus in Aries next year, that could indicate questions fully formed. Maybe.

Once again I would not ask myself questions about personal freedom and independence if I wasn't is some kind of bondage, spine surgery as you wrote in your post. I know detachment is not a word kindly looked at, but detachment is a good thing if I am overwhelmed by the details to the point where it obscures the overall situation. To proverbially not see the wood for the trees. Which leads me to another point. What questions would I ask myself if I wasn't so involved in all the details? Questions are very important. I would say more so than the answers. How could I possibly want to know something if don't even know that I don't know it.

I'd look at Jupiter in Libra this year. And maybe even your natal Jupiter. It's where you may find the answers in a most natural manner. Not my way or someone else's way, but your natural way. I perceive everything from my unique vantage point, and share how I see it. That can helpful or it can be useless crap. Only you can really know for yourself.

Anyone?

 I'm at the tail end of a Saturn conjunct Uranus transit exact today 10/30. 

I've been having tons of health issues through this time enough to be willing to approach life differently. I'm scared right now because I'm using a walker to get around and I'm facing spinal surgery (I'm 31!). I'm hoping I can attribute this mobility impairment to this transit also considering Saturn is squarring my natal sun and Mercury. 

Anyone been through this transit? Any tips? Similar stories? 

What happens next? So many unknowns that anything would be appreciated, GREATLY!  

You don't say what house it's in.

I have a strong Aqua-Uranus trine across my 10th-6th houses.

At work I'd always been the one who asked difficult questions of the corporation, always felt like the workers were being exploited and having their individuality stamped out with everybody having to follow policies that are set to the lowest common denominator.

When saturn transited uranus I found that I finally stopped asking the difficult questions and realised you either buy into whatever the corporate line is, or you get out.

I also stopped coming up with inventive ideas or things that would make the job better. Management would be sat there saying how much they wanted innovation but actually when I suggested classicly aquarian/uranian ideas on how they could innovate they didn't really want to know and all I was doing was making myself look like a maverick who couldn't be trusted. So I stopped suggesting stuff.

All in all, my working life improved by stopping being the outsider.

Beyond that I got serious with my running. I'd often done 10Ks and half marathons but I'd enter a race, train and then do other things.  Saturn got me structured in my running routines by making it a daily activity where before my uranian approach was not to commit to the long term.

Hi Pepe! I'm sorry times are so difficult for you right now. ((((hugs))))

I'm also 31 and going through this same transit, now. 

The phrase I liked that is linked to this transit is: fundamental changes. 

That is absolutely what is happening in my life right now! I am (some times more successfully than other times) trying to come to terms with and build structure in the midst of chaos. 

You've inspired me to do a bit of searching. Here are some quotes I found...

"With a transit of Saturn conjunct Uranus, the person feels that his freedom is restricted in some way, and has an extremely strong urge to break out and end this unwanted obligation."

"One of the most important and interesting characteristics of Saturn, is that Saturn is interlinked with personal development and the place where the person has to build his self confidence, overcome fear, and concur challenge and difficulties. With Saturn transits, it is sometimes very easy to see after the event what the purpose of it in our development was. The transit of Saturn conjunct Uranus is very strong; it elevates the basic needs of Uranus for freedom, individualism and change, and brings them to the surface. Suddenly, some situations we normally overlook or accept with silence can’t be ignored anymore."

"For all of you that have this transit, remember that its purpose is to connect you to who you really are."

"When transiting Saturn is conjunct your natal Uranus: You become acutely aware of the restrictions of your life and will try to break away from them. You may feel like every rule that has worked for you reliably until now needs to change. This leads to great inner tension that tends to be released at regular intervals. It is common to feel completely stuck in an intolerable situation. Then suddenly you make the break. This is a very important period to make fundamental changes in your life. You may surprise yourself with some of the creative solutions you come up to your life's problems."

"One of the most important and interesting characteristics of Saturn, is that Saturn is interlinked with personal development and the place where the person has to build his self confidence, overcome fear, and concur challenge and difficulties. With Saturn transits, it is sometimes very easy to see after the event what the purpose of it in our development was."

"Saturn Transits in Aspect to Natal Uranus: Uranus rules our urge for independence and innovation. Saturn makes for restriction. It's not that obstacles to your hopes and wishes suddenly appear. Most likely, they've been there all along. When a stressful aspect (conjunction, square, or opposition) from transiting Saturn hits your natal Uranus, you start to notice them. You now have two apparent choices: give in and be depressed, or rebel and risk disaster. Naturally, no matter which planet you choose to follow, the other one will“get you”. But there is a solution. You have to mix the traits of both planets at the same time. Make far-reaching changes in your life now (Uranus). But do it in a well planned, orderly, and structured way (Saturn). Don't expect the changes to be either quick or easy. You have be prepared to stay there for the long haul. One caution. Don't try to do too much. Under Saturn transits, we sometimes try to work 25 hours a day, and eight days a week. A little rest every now and then won't kill you."

I hope it helps. Good luck!!
