Today marks the last 'hit' of the opposition between Saturn in Leo and Neptune in Aquarius - this has been a major aspect pattern for almost the last year. These two planets are so different - Saturn is limiting, controlling, authoritarianwhereas Neptune is transcending, refining, escaping.
However, Neptune seems to be stronger in that it is blessed with what we astrologers call a mutual reception with the ruler of Aquarius, Uranus currently transitingPisces.
One of the very early astrologers said that what is above in the macrocosm is mirrored here on earth in the microcosm - so by looking at events happening in the world around us we can understand more about the celestial influences.
One event that has happened today is that we have a new leader of the Labour Party (shortly to be made prime minister). At the moment we don't quite know how or whether politics in the Uk will be affected by this change.
I hope to read a few other interesting perceptions of this aspect pattern.

RE: Saturn Neptune Opposition
Hi Binah
Im taking an intermediate astrology course at the moment and my astrology teacher was saying that this Saturn/neptune opposition is all about Saturn- Structure, discipline,the old school-being washed away and broken down by neptune-spirituality,dreams,dissolving. the way i see it these are boundaries that need to be broken down so that new more positive ways can take over from old, outdated ways of being. She said that its very important to truly know who you are and to stay grounded at this time.
In a physical sense my teacher said that she thinks these floods are an expression of this opposition as Saturn rules houses and Neptune water! Fascinating stuff... Neptune has definately been winning out.

RE: Saturn Neptune Opposition
Hi Anna
I quite agree - I thought the same too about the floods, the fluid element of Neptune, breaking through the boundaries of the river banks. My thoughts go out to all those affected by this natural disaster.

RE: Saturn Neptune Opposition
hello again
just a quick Q what do you see will be the spiritual outcome of this transit? do you see it as a needed cleansing/burning off the dross?
love
