Like the cosmos got my wiring crossed.

I find it works with oppositions too. I have a nasty little saturn opposite uranus. With conservative people I'm the weird new ager, and with the new ager types I'm the conservative stick in the mud.

I am the way. I have been given a hard time by conservatives and skeptics for my belief in metaphysical and astrological things but I am also skeptical of certain metaphysical things and was a skeptic of Astrology and some might see me as closeminded to metaphysical things like. I have been skeptical of the Indigo,Crystal concept in regards to neurodivergence, but I have been given a hard time for having liberal views about neurodivergent conditions as not disorder and shouldn't be drugged by conservative types as well as people who believe in the disorder view of neurodivergence. Some of the people in the metaphysical field believe in the disorder view of neurodivergence. I think those are some of the greatest themes of my life.
I have Saturn retrograde in Gemini in 9th oppose Jupiter-Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd square my Moon in Pisces in 6th.

Race relations is a very strong theme of my life,and it fits the aforementioned opposition. I am the type of person that believes that there be unity, universal love(Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's dream),tolerance of all races,ethnicities because of my being born from a black/white interracial relationship and having half Japanese stepsisters, and I don't like to accept the unofficial one drop rule of being black,and I don't like being pinned down as black..especially by blacks. I have been given hard time by many blacks,but even some whites because of that. One lady actually called me a "racist" because of it, especially when I talked about how I don't see Obama as black with his having a white mother and black father just like me. I believe in embracing all my heritages. On the other hand, I am very race-conscious in that I do believe that race matters here in society,believe in racial diversity and highly aware of racism here in USA,especially when living as racial minority here in USA, but I have been giving hard time by some whites for being race-conscious as well as pointing out the racism that is here in USA, and so I even get accused of being racist even though I believe in racial equality and don't have racial hate. My exgirlfriend who is white and grew up in towns in Vermont,New Hampshire(where the population is less than 2 percent black compared to here in Sacramento,California where the population is 15 percent black) had accused me of being a racist because I was race conscious in noting how somebody is white in regards to my casual description but there was no racial hate nor beliefs of racial superiority. I also tend to be at odds with some very well-meaning,nice whites that believe that there are no races and that belief in races is a problem. I disagree with that. I don't believe that the concept of racial diversity is the problem. I believe that the intolerance of racial diversity(as in the discrimination,mistreatment of people because they are of a different race) is the problem. That goes the same for neurodiversity,and that's why I am a neurodiversity advocate.

interestingly,I have Skepticus in Sagittarius in 3rd oppose retrograde Astrowizard in Gemini with only a few minutes of arc squaring my Moon with only a few minutes for the skepticism in regards to Astrology.
