Wait a minute, this looks great on paper, but who is going to be hurt by it? And am I morally capable of implementing it without my integrity being destroyed ?

.. If Uranus aspects Mercury .. .. Mercury is likely to be a lot happier about it than the Moon - even with "hard" aspects. Mercury says, "Ah, That's what's going on! I ca see! I have the truth! I know the answers!" Mercury likes being aligned with Uranus. Other people might not appreciate the alignment so much - especially one's teachers when one is young, or one's more pragmatic colleagues when one is older. The darker dimension of these aspects - rigidity of thinking, crankiness, opinionatedness, self-righteousness - are usually more disturbing to others than they are to the Mercury-Uranus person. The great problem is that Mercury, itself a wanderer of no fixed abode, can become badly overloaded with Uranian electricity, and it is extremely important to mobilise Saturnian pragmatism and a sense of mental and physical limits, to protect the body and psyche. But given sufficient containment and common sense, Mercury-Uranus can be marvellously inventive and open-minded, although often determinedly undisturbed by the burden of self-questioning.

I have them in sextile, and Saturn opposes Mercury while trining Uranus. Mercury and Uranus do get along nicely, and apparently my Saturn is there to balance things out.

We often overlook these contacts, assuming that only people with Sun-Uranus, Moon-Uranus, or an angular Uranus are really Uranian in spirit. But people with Saturn-Uranus contacts are usually very close to Uranus, much more so than if the Moon, Mercury, Venus or Mars aspects it. Saturn-Uranus aspects are extremely important because the structure of the personality is being buffeted all the time by the collective Promethean vision of progress and potential perfection. This produces a powerful need to ground the Uranian spirit, but if the individual cannot handle the tension, he or she may polarise and identify wholly with or against Uranus.
