I have resently been told I have strong saturn/uranus issues (which are very difficult for me to understand) but I feel that the number of squared aspects in my chart are really playing havoc in my life.

There has been so much energy "keeping me down" over the past few years...and lately, I've been feeling that my saturn return was nothing compared to the challenges I've been facing since 2001. (false friendships, lost loved ones, poor career opportunities, constant financial stresses...aloneness)

I'd like to know if there is some way I can meditate (or something)on channeling these challenging aspect energies to stregthen my spirit and overcome the constant barrage of disappointment and difficulty I feel I have lived in for the past three years.

Feel free to look at my chart, June 7, 1965, 9:32AM, Toronto Ontario, Canada

I thank all in advance for insights and suggestions,

Blessed be,
MJ

Gemini and Virgo are Mutable signs, plus, you have Saturn in Pisces, yet another Mutable sign. Saturn in Pisces is tough, and can sometimes cause one to have problems with drugs/alchohol.

Gemini & Virgo are ruled by Mercury, and mecurial minds are very good at technological things, like electrical engineering, and the like. You also have speaking skills, and you can try to harness all this nervous energy through writing, maybe even traveling.

Meditation is always good no matter where the planets are. Maybe get involved in a group effort, which helps keep you on course and offers you the structure you need. You're very much a take it day by day person. Maybe even hour by hour, or minute by minute. Just remember each decision you make, no matter how minute, will lead to consequences, sometimes causing things we never intended or expected to happen.

on my moon, I have a Libra moon at 1 degree though. When I first drafted my chart years ago, it indicated Virgo, but I met with an astrologer some years later and was told my moon in Libra, very tight...

Can you tell me a bit about the Uranus/Saturn communication dynamic...I have a feeling this is what I need to address and channel on a more positive level.

From what I know of the degrees issue, if you are only one degree into a sign, your fully realized as the sign before, and just beginning to learn about the next. Ex: You've learned all the lessons of Moon in Virgo, but not yet fully aware of having Moon in Libra.

I'm not sure where your Moon may actually be, you can go to astro.com and insert your info and get an accurate reading. But that's what I know of the degrees situation. Try to think of it as being in Virgo regardless.

Here's some info on how Saturn & Uranus interact. The Houses they are in tells you a lot as well:::

"Uranus Aspecting Saturn:

If these two planets were people, they wouldn’t like each other. Saturn rules everything old and conservative, Uranus the new, the shocking, the bizarre. Because they move so slowly, they can keep an aspect for about a year and affect everyone born during that time. With the stressful aspects, they can act like little kids, each screaming for attention at the same time. No matter which one you give attention to, the other will complain. If you try to keep everything in your life normal and well ordered, Uranus will cause you to be nervous, edgy, and bored until eventually, you won’t be able to take it any more and you will simply EJECT from the situation.

But if you try to be innovative and original, different in any way, Saturn strikes back with its great weapon, Murphy’s Law, and everything goes wrong. The only solution is to give them both attention at the same time. Do something new, different, and unusual, but do it in a practical and orderly way. Or do something old fashioned and conservative, but always give it a new twist. Then, you will succeed. With the harmonious aspects, you will most likely do this naturally and it won’t be a problem."
