Uranus transiting conjunct natal Saturn is a time in which in some tangible ways freedom, reaching out, connecting with what lies 'without' must win over staying safe with what lies 'within' the familiar. The established way must reconcile and give way to the transcendent. This is true even just on a psychological level. If we get too used to playing it safe by obeying what others have set up as the rules and never challenging anything, then we are not living true from within ourselves.
Kronos (as the Greek Saturn), father of time (and all the transient, material dimension, was so committed to his own control and authoritarian rule that he cannibalized his own children to maintain it.
Uranus, father sky, married to Gaia (mother earth) represents heaven and the healthy marriage between the transcendent and earthly life.
The larger space of such transcendence still includes the conventional wisdom or rules without your soul being stangled by them. You just see it from a different, larger point of view.
Physically this transit can be a bit hard on the nerves for some people. It depends on what else is going on at the same time.
Robert Hand in his book Planets in Transit says ...
"During this time in your life, structures you thought were dependable and permanent will be threatened by sudden events. It is often a time of great tension and sudden release of tension ... a serious conflict of principles ..."
Basically the more rigidly you hold on to what you have previously been certain was dependable and true, the more difficult this 2-year period will be. This is pretty well true of all angular transits of Uranus to natal Saturn, and even of the quincunx transit. They often bring moves of residence that you find undesirable at first, changes full of challenges, new social environments, reversals of fortune related to work and/or health.
Don't despair. These are the normal experiences and within the challenges are always contained the solutions. Part of it is to let go of any attitude of permanent stability or security.
Change is the only constant in the Universe!
Very often the tensions have been building up for many years in reality and we have just been compromising and settling for safety and security over authentic self-expression and venturing into what we see in the world that we connect with inside.
Uranus helps us reach skyward to what ignites the larger Soul Self to overcome fear and playing it safe.
