Financial, Political & Environmental Breakdowns In 2022 Coincide With This Karmic Cosmic Alignment
Saturn and Uranus have neared each other (once again) in a tense aspect known as a square — a challenging astrological relationship between planets – which will coincide with major financial, political, and environmental changes. The pent-up pressures, tensions, and frustrations in the collective will reach a boiling point this September (reaching its peak from September 30 to October 11), leading us through an inevitable breakdown before our collective breakthrough into a new world order. This difficult square is a challenge between tradition and innovation, authority and rebellion, old structures and new, designed to build our strength as a global community.
Expect turbulent financial fluctuations
Saturn — the planet of authority, restriction, and karma — will retrograde through visionary Aquarius, signifying that we have a clear vision of the old world and how we want to improve the structures of our society. However, when connecting with turbulent Uranus in materialistic Taurus, the unpredictable fluctuations of our financial markets, natural environment, and our overall sense of stability will interfere with our ability to enact change in the world. Saturn in aspect to Uranus will bring polarizing energy that calls us to consider how we should allocate our attention toward changing the world and how we can make a better effort to live in harmony with the planet (and each other). Historically, Saturn-Uranus squares have coincided with major economic shifts, financial crashes, and heightened confrontations with authority.
Try to stay grounded and stable
This fourth and final (exact) union between Saturn and Uranus in 2022 will carry different energy than what we’ve seen previously, as the global issues that arise won't be anything we haven't already anticipated. Saturn retrograde in wise Aquarius is inviting us to own up to the reality that our human activity has largely impacted dramatic climate and weather changes around the world. Uranus retrograde in steady and grounded Taurus is calling us to be direct and intentional with our efforts to find solutions and stay grounded during this slow-burning revolution.
You’ll notice an increase in protests and a desire to break free and rebel against the current social, political, and economic climate. However, this won't bring about our desired change just yet as we are deep into retrograde season, where 7 planets are turning our attention toward reflection rather than action. Collectively, we aren’t likely to feel understood by authority figures, so our best move is to find a middle ground between surrendering to what we cannot control and stepping up in the areas of society where we have influence and can enact change.
Fixed zodiac signs will face the most challenges
The powerful and stubborn Saturn-Uranus square is here to challenge our ability to adapt to new circumstances and move through the shadows before we can see the light. It’s time to abandon strategies that haven’t worked in the past and find new ways to support ourselves and our communities. On a personal level, the Aquarius house in your chart will illuminate an old way of being that is going head to head with the Taurus house in your chart, signifying a breakdown or breakthrough in your life where you are creating a new way of being. Fixed zodiac signs — Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius — will feel this at a greater magnitude.
