Gary
Caton
Saturn Opposite Uranus ~ Clash of the Titans
We
are hard-wired with a need to anticipate the future, and the zodiac
and solar calendar have long been significant tools in the attempt
to do so. With the advent of modern psychological astrology, our
gaze extends from the Earth skyward, seeking to unite inner experience
with outer experience and thereby replace the notion of fate with
one of personal empowerment.
Join us in January for our
most popular event, the annual forecast for the coming year. Astrologer
Gary Caton brings us this year’s edition, describing the expected
effects of the Saturn-Uranus opposition cycle.
Gary P. Caton is an eclectic astrologer based in Asheville, NC.
He teaches and consults an international clientele, and is published
frequently in astrological journals, including: The Mountain
Astrologer, Considerations, Horoscope Guide, Geocosmic Journal,
and The International Astrologer. He publishes a weekly
blog outlining astrological current events, as well as a twice-monthly
“Goddess Astrology” podcast. Gary speaks frequently
at various astrological groups and conferences and was recently
one of only 150 astrologers invited to speak at the largest astrology
conference in the world, the United Astrology Conference 2008.
The primary astrological influence in 2009 is the opposition of
the two titans Saturn and Uranus. Occurring in 45-year cycles—the
last one in the 1960s—this alignment is a harbinger of generational
struggles for a paradigm shift in the world order. Saturn is primarily
cold and depletes energy; Uranus is primarily hot, and excites.
When hot and cold meet in nature, we have thunderstorms.
Native Americans believed this interplay brought vitalizing energy
from the Sky to the Earth to be used by humans. These oppositions
seem to challenge us to develop an awareness that through careful,
practical planning, utility and efficiency can be perfected, making
possible a progressive, sustainable technological culture and linking
the individual to the global community - perhaps even with the infinite
cosmos. On a personal level, the biggest challenge of these oppositions
may be to keep our balance and avoid getting pulled to one or the
other extreme of the polarity. The tendency with an opposition is
to embrace one side of the polarity and project the other side onto
someone else, which is fine if we are seeking to learn through the
process. Growth is inherent in this opposition; avoidance of growth
only results in catastrophe!
Gary will also show us how the monthly lunar cycle of which we are
all aware is the basic building block for astrological understanding;
explain how the opposition is different from other alignments; and
suggest how we can harmonize with its essential vibrations.
