I’m working on a reading for someone who has Saturn and Uranus conjunct in her natal and I found myself fascinated by this.
Saturn builds. Uranus breaks. What happens when they act as one? What kind of fusion is that?
A conjunction is two planets that do not act alone. Touch one and you touch them both. Y’all know I have a Moon Pluto conjunction. Touch my feelings (which are the heart of my Cancer Sun) and you touch my Pluto, my power.
And what if that fascinating Saturn Uranus conjunction is opposed by… ANYTHING at all. How do you move forward in life when you are always… disturbing the peace, often your own inner peace. Tearing down your own life and then running out for new bricks.
Like a painter who keeps painting over her canvases (yes I know someone like this). How can these two energies co-exist fused in one body. How can a body handle this? It sounds exhausting. But I know there’s another side. Structure + creativity: the soul of an architect.
We must remember that Aquarius is ruled by both these dudes. Rulebook Saturn and rule breaker Uranus. And that in Aquarians we find both. Stodgy toe-the-line types and the inventor-genuius-revolutionary (two extremes). And then of course the house matters. How will this energy pattern play out on a day to day level?
Do you have this conjunction?

I was wondering if you had learned anything more about the Saturn/Uranus conjunction? I have it in my chart in the 3rd house in Sagittarius, directly opposed by a Venus/Chiron conjunction in the 9th house
was wondering if you had any ideas on that one hahaa
(so far my experience is that I can either be INTENSELY committed to someone, or completely incapable of commitment, depending on the person/situation… I also have this wonderful tendency to hold back my loving nature (for fear of being rejected-Chiron conjunction maybe) and so I don’t express it at all (Saturn) until one day I just randomly spout out all my feelings completely left field (Uranus) —Saturn and Uranus being in my 3rd house of communication)
My Saturn/Uranus in the 3rd is also trine my Aries Moon in the 7th…
Hi Emily — this post is popular for some reason! I can’t remember where — but someone must have linked it. I haven’t reread the post recently but I can tell you this — it is the ultimate contradiction! I think you have a good grasp of what it means for you. Most interesting to me is the trine to your Aries Moon — I think you get what you want. Even though what you want fluctuates!
This is a nice blog you have here Aliza! Thanks for your expertise.
Thank you
Hello, yes, I have this conjunction in Sagitarius in my first house. Sometimes I feel like joining the military would be really good for me. Structure sounds so comforting, but then I also hate being told what to do. There is a lot of power with these two planets and I’m working on seeing how my life dances to their tunes. Also, my first Saturn return is coming up so for the next year or two it is going to be one helluva ride.
Jennifer, I think it’s going to be amazing.
Oh, I can relate to that… in Sagitarius aswell, and in the 5th house, so a lot of push´n´pull on the dating front; I desire a stable relationship, and as soon as I get there I become restless and feel tied-down, so I usually end the case soon after. Same with creativity, sudden outburst of creativity, as soon as the fruits of my works are to be shown I grow bored and destructive towards them: Kids. Strong ambivalence between consequence/ rules setting and affection/ liberal education. Also I find it hard to reach a state of authentic self-expression, since I´m regularly thrown between hedonistic freedom-seeking behaviour (very Aquarian-Uranus) and “attacks” of a overpowering Super-ego, critical % censoring to extremes, calling for discipline, basically finishing up my self-confidence.
What I haven´t figured out so far, is how to work out the dilemma. Suggestions, anyone? 🙂
Hi Chris. Thanks for your comments. I think ultimately we do what we want. We make choices.
Enjoy the thrill of insanity. That is usually what I end up doing.
Oh, and I got a good laugh over the canvas comment. I am also an artist who repaints my canvas over and over again lol
Kari, I’m glad 🙂
Ohhh yeah…I have Saturn, Uranus and Venus all closely conjunct in my 7th house Sag. I have been happily married for 10 years but every so often I get this weird feeling like Im being suffocated, I need space and this isn’t what I want even though we are happy. As soon as I get my freedom, I am back…scared because I feel afraid of life without him. Then, I go back to being a normal wife for some time. How much longer he can handle this, I don’t know, but he handles it well. I feel like something is wrong with me. Probably dosent help that Im an Aquarius sun to boot. I love my husband and feel like I am doomed to lose the best, most patient man in my life because I cant get my crap together.
Oh Kari — the more you understand YOU, the better…. Know what I mean?
I have uranus, saturn and neptune in the 7th house, capricorn???
Hi Aliza. I came across this article by searching “Saturn conjunct Uranus” – having found it in my chart, and recognizing its significance, for the first time. I am an artist; I own one large canvas. I’ve painted it three times in 5 years. Each with the theme of a celestial network of light beings – 12 figures in a circle, around a larger body – our planet, a “Godhead,” a tree of life, respectively. I may even paint it again. It may never be finished. Funny how these things, aspects in a chart, play themselves out. Thanks for a little slice of self-reflection. – Ericc
Thank you Ericc – and WOW – that is fascinating. And obsessive 🙂 I mean that as a compliment!
Affirmation for those with Saturn conjunct Uranus to use is: “I am experiencing very extreme easiness very extremely easily”
Easiness means freedom (Uranus) from difficulty (Saturn)
Thank you Jonathan!
Limitation vs Freedom
Affirmation: I am experiencing very extreme freedom now
I don’t know why but that made me smile 🙂 “I am experiencing very extreme freedom now” 🙂
I’m in the same boat here. Saturn and uranus conjoin in sag. in house 9 for me, with neptune in cap house 10 nearby. all 3 planets and the midheaven oppose venus. The north node is in pisces, meaning my life lesson is to learn to connect with ppl despite a hyper critical attitude of myself. Uranus vs vemus = sexual eccentric (manslut), saturn vs venus = difficulty expressing emotions (prude/stiff), neptune vs venus = unrealistic expectations about love (perfect woman syndrome), midheaven vs venus = vain jealosy. Are you f-ing kidding me???!!! That’s in my chart. I was born aug 4 1988 @ 951pm in mesa, az. Look it up for yourself. How do I cope with the fact that im intolerable in love matters, and yet it is my destiny to make connections with ppl? Ps I have aries and mars in house 1 and im a leo with a taurus moon, meaning my temper is as legendary as my ego, which is squared against a gentle personality. Any insight would be great. Im just amazed im not a serial killer. Oh, and this WILL BE MY LAST incarnation on earth.
Oh yeah, I forgot to add that it took me until I was 24 to get laid for the first time. It took painstaking effort, complete focus, lack of fear, preparation and mental peacein the event of failur, a friend had to wing me, AND I chose to compromise my morals, since she had a boyfriend of 5 yrs , and I helped her cheat on him, and we both added alcohol to the mix. When it was over, her bf left her 6 months layer, I was there for rebound, and during sex, she went apeshit, hitting me and yelling at a man who wasnt there because she was on drugs and off of her psych meds.
Hi Issac. Cheers to last incarnations 🙂
I don’t do personalized readings on the blog but please check out my services page if you are interested in going more in depth than a blog post can. I simply don’t have the time to explore with people except as part of my job (I make my living doing readings). Thanks for your comments though, much appreciated!
Saturn conjunct Uranus = The epitome of a contradiction. I have this in my first house. How to solve it? Use this affirmation. (don’t change the words, it’s already perfected)
My whole being is extremely harmonizing extremely easily now
Yes I also have the Saturn Uranus conjunction! I am fascinated as well.. This is only conjunction on my chart. I have three or four Pluto trines or sextiles, and am wondering if anything else in my chart affects Saturn Uranus conjunction.
Also I am a pisces sun with Leo rising sign.. It all seems a bit of opposing forces that balance. I would just love to know more about any connections that I am overlooking in my chart.
Hi Andrea – have you seen my “services” page on the blog? If you are ever interested in an individual reading, I can give you my thoughts on this. Thanks for your comments!
WOW I just notices this aspect in my chart today, I have saturn and uranus conjunct, saturn is in the 10th house and uranus in the 11th. AND they are both in Sagittarius, square my 1st house piscean sun.
I’m and artist and since graduating college I have been literally torn apart mentally trying to figure out my if I want to pursue finding a concept design job where I could be part of a community, or a freelancer where i can make all of the decisions myself, but lack a group to be a part of. I’ve come to the conclusion recently that I really have to have a lot of freedom in my life and choose the projects that I do. I don’t react well to being forced to fit a role in a structure…
“disturbing the peace, often your own inner peace. Tearing down your own life and then running out for new bricks.”
This sentence really sums up a core part of my personality.
I’m going to have to think about this for a while….
I’m glad it spoke to you, Brittany xo
saturn conjunct uranus in sagittarius and my 3rd house…. opposite my venus/chiron conjunction in the 9th
i often have a push/pull when communicating and expressing my affection for those i care about, especially when i think of the big picture
Thanks for your thoughts, Emily. Makes sense to me, the push pull of the 3rd (now) vs the 9th (future)
The balance between order and chaos. Balance between restriction and freedom. Balance between written goals and having no aims in life. Balance between the same and the unexpected. Balance between status quo and resisting the status quo.
hey I have uranus (28″14) conjunct my saturn (28″41) in sag in 12th house with opposition to the moon
I have both these in scorpio in the 9th house… I have always swung between comformity and experimentation in a sexual way, and I’ve gone through alot of philosophical / religious experimentation… taking on new religious beliefs, then discarding them because I’m not satisfying. But every time I discard the old system and replace it, I feel like I make a little bit of progress. Ultimately this conjunctions shows a person who is advancing the system into a new era. Whether this is successful will depend on the strength of the planetary lord & saturn/uranus the signs / houses… Overall I like the spark of excitement uranus brings to saturn,
Hi Ian 🙂 Thanks for your thoughts
I have this in Sag in my 12th house
p.s. interestngly I always wanted to be an architect, I spend a lot of time building things in my head from houses to worlds so your title drew me in 😉
Hi!
I have this combination in my 7th house. Which is worriesome since Neptune is also there and they sit in Sagittarius. I’m a Libra, asc Gemini, moon in Taurus, venus in Leo.
In my last relationship the tearing and building and my own mental collapse in a way made me an annoying bitch and the man I loved more than life fell out of love. In my case the destroy/build combination you explained were painfully obvious.
Now I’m wondering does my natal chart mean I’ll be forever alone or destroy everything? Any advice?
I can send you my info or chart 😀
Hello! I do readings for a living. Have you seen this page? Thanks for reading and commenting.
http://www.moonplutoastrology.com/about-3/
Just thought I’d let you know that this came up in my google search while doing my homework. 😉
Sali, that is so funny! And awesome 🙂
I have this aspect in the house 4,Capricorn,and both planets conjuct my saturn. Should I be affraid? hahaha
🙂
Hi Aliza,
I am a Libra ascendant and I have Saturn and Uranus conjunction in 2nd house.
Could you please tell me what this signifies?
Regards,
Asha
Hi Asha and thanks for reading. I do astrology readings/consultations. If you ever want a deeper look, let me know. But in terms of the 2nd House, this signifies not only the money you earn but also your self-esteen, and what you value, including yourself. Saturn and Uranus together is always an interesting combination because Saturn builds and Uranus breaks things down.
I have this conjunct, both of which are conjoining my Midheaven (Neptune is also conjunct with MC, but too far to conjunct Sat/Uranus). It’s been a crazy life, that’s for sure.
I love the thought of the soul of an architect. This aspect pretty well defines my life, as I’m also a sun in Virgo, rising Pisces. Bouncing between extreme polarities has been with me throughout my entire life. However, as I’ve done a lot of deep soul searching, I’ve been able to find a way to transcend the whole polarity balance game and synthesize them to work together instead of pulling away, stretching too thin.
There are a lot of squares and other difficult aspects in my chart, and I’ve pretty well got a hold on how to handle them, but this one was always elusive and omnipresent it seemed like. Definitely one of the most difficult ones.
One thing that’s fascinated me that caught my attention today, is the transition between Pisces and Aquarius in astrological ages. I’d love to have your input on my chart, and bounce some ideas off of you if you’ve got the time.
I’m very heavily into astrology, but seeing different perspectives is very important to me.
Hi Brian and thanks for visiting. If you are interested in a Reading, please visit my astrology and tarot readings page on the blog. I’d be happy to work with you 🙂

I have Saturn conjunct Uranus conjunct Neptune, between houses IV and V, Capricorn.
I believe that I should have a very dissolute self-stem, but I have Sun conjunct Jupiter (between houses VIII and IX, Taurus)… and that makes a Trine with the Stelium Saturn/Uranus/Neptune
In other words, I’m the definition of the quote “Home is where your heart is”, wherever I go (and I “go” a lot!), I always find graceful lessons of life.
(not even starting to consider my Pisces’ Moon! lol)
I am the making on the way! lol
=)
Thanks for your thoughts, Bruno!
I have a saturn-uranus-neptune stellium in the FIRST HOUSE….Don’t even ask. Identity crises….constant personality dissolution/then restructuring…..Can’t quite pinpoint who I am….Need structure, need achievement, but need to be free, an individual, but need to be part of a collective and lose and sacrifice myself to it….it’s exhausting. I used to be very into mysticism and pagan religions/dreamwork. Now I’m fascinated by existentialism. Can’t decide which life path would work best for me, as I never feel like I quite ‘fit’ into any particular path or denomination or identity. It’s funny, I seek to lose myself in something (Neptune) but struggle with constantly being reminded that I cannot lose myself because I’m a separate self (Uranus/Saturn). But the yearning for submersion is always there.
Great analysis, Alma!
Thank you Aliza! Glad I could share it with you 🙂
I have uranus (29 sag) conjunct saturn (1 cap) conjunct neptune (8 cap) in the 5th house, all opposing chiron (6 cancer) in the 11th and squaring mars (3 aries) in the 9th. Been having a rather tricky time figuring this one out, needless to say lol. One thing that I can say is that, in my creative work, its either a drought or a flood. I’m also more pragmatic than most creative types, but manic depression can get in the way of putting that saturn-in-capricorn pragmatism to use. The saturn-uranus conjunction is also one leg of a yod: saturn conj. uranus sextile venus (29 libra) in the 3rd/4th, both inconjunct jupiter (1 gemini) in the 10th, and though jupiter is conjunct the moon (25 taurus), the mood is not part of a yod unless you use much wider orbs. Hooray for astrological cat’s cradle lol.
Samurai, thanks for visiting xo
I have this in Sagittarius 5th house. they opposite Mars.. I’ve become highly sensitive as I matured and I find myself not knowing which direction to take more and more often..
I don’t think my Sun-Moon opposition is helping this either. Are they all telling the same story?
Hi Rasp. Thanks for your thoughts 🙂
Aries sun here, Capricorn moon, Taurus rising, I have many difficult placements in my chart if anyone wants to help me out. I have this conjunction, Saturn in Capricorn in the 9th house. Very exhausting and I can never find a happy medium. I know my issues and I make vows to control them but my fire signs inhibit that. http://astro.cafeastrology.com/cgi-bin/astro/natal?member=&recalc=&name=Lindsey&sex=f&d1day=8&d1month=4&d1year=1988&d1hour=7&d1min=32&citylist=Enumclaw%2C+WA+%2853%29%2C+United+States&lang=en
Hello Lindsey! Thanks for writing.
Hmmm…Interesting, I have this in my 3rd house in Capricorn! Great Post.
I have this conjunction straddling the 5th-6th houses in Sag. The conjunction is opposed by Chiron Rx on the cusp of Gemini 12th. Right now, transiting Jupiter is within two degrees of my natal Chiron. And let me tell you, some wild things are happening in my life right now. 🙂
(Also, the Sat-Ura conjunction trines my Aries Moon in 10th, which is itself tightly conjunct the North Node. Lots of energy running around right now!)
Hello Marigold!
Hi Marigold,
I came across your post and couldnt help but notice that we share majority of these aspects you mentioned. I would love to hear how do you cope with soem of them, in particular conj. saturn and uranus in 5th house, trining Aries moon (mine´s in 9th house, conj Jupiter AND north node).
Thanks a lot!
Christine
Hi Chris!
I’m still working on dealing with those aspects. One thing I’ve found is that I have to “schedule my spontaneity” if that makes any sense. I have to block out time to do random things, or I start to go kind of nuts. Of course, with Moon in Aries in the 10th, I quickly feel confined when I can’t act spontaneously of my own initiative, especially professionally!
At the same time, though, if I don’t have enough structure, I start to feel very emotionally unstable. I found that having a list of things I want to get done, but not necessarily scheduling *when* I’ll get them done, is very helpful. Following my emotions – doing what I need/want to do when I feel like doing it, rather than forcing myself – is helpful. Luckily, with the Moon tightly conjunct the North Node, I can always follow my heart/feelings without having to worry about being led astray.
Hope some of that is helpful! 🙂
Best,
– Mary
Hi, girl!
I have this aspect, I know exactly about this. ¬¬
Uranos IX house and Saturn X, both in the Midheaven and both in capricorn. ¬¬
Great post.
Thanks, Isa. Thanks for visiting 🙂 That sounds amazing actually – both of those on the MC in Capricorn. Hello career!
Not exactly…
Neptune is also there. ¬¬ hehe
Byebye.
I have this aspect in late Sagittarius, in the 4th house, both squaring my moon in late Virgo. Now just try comprehending that with your mind. I have to say, I’ve dealt with some difficult transiting aspects and some difficult chart aspects, but Uranus square the moon has to be the hardest… Especially since Uranus is in my 4th house…. I just can’t settle or commit. My emotional Virgo moon nature really wants to commit, but Uranus just won’t have it. I have learned to build positive habits to cope. I do a lot of yoga and play a lot of music. I think that this conjunction aspect, in it’s most positive form, allows me to have my head grounded in what needs to be done, and in all sorts of other places at the same time. Plus my mars is in the third house, so as long as I clear my head at the end of each day, my brain has a great capacity to keep up with many things at one time, even with creative flair. I must say the square between this conjunction and the moon has been the most challenging part of my chart, has definitely driven me to make some big mistakes, but has also helped me discover some amazing capabilities. I also have this conjunction training my Jupiter in Aries, and I think this has helped me a lot as a musician; I have been in charge of a couple of bands where I pretty much had control over them creatively; wrote each song, each part, saw that everything fit together, etc. Life can be quite unpredictable and exciting at times… It just takes an incredible amount of effort to commit to things. This conjunction also squares my ascendant in late Virgo, which conjuncts my moon….. Yeah… It’s really hard for me, lol. My sun is in Capricorn, too, so it’s hard to tolerate all the change, but I’ve learned to go with the flow and do the best I can. I can say that I’m a damn good musician. But I’m also really trying to advance myself professionally. I am optimistic and determined. Hopefully some random guy in California won’t call me up and invite me to play eukelele on his yacht…. That would mess up my career path. That’s he kind of thing that happens with this conjunction training my Jupiter.
LOL Steve “some random guy in California…” Thanks for your comments
Hi Aliza,
It’s a pleasure to find & read your blog! My boyfriend has this combination, in the fifth house, opposing his Moon & Chiron. It is squaring my Mars and Venus in synastry. + Conjunct my Neptune. I’m exploring trying to find and define what’s happening in our relationship – hurts being triggered, and how to overcome them. There’s definite patterns emerging, and I’d like to rise above the hurt and get back the growing, happy feeling at the start of our relationship. This text I found may he helpful to other readers… http://www.scribd.com/doc/8219806/Neptune-in-Synastry-and-the-Composite-Chart
– With some examples involving Saturn in synastry, and some off-topic enlightenment.
Hi Verity. Glad you found me 🙂
I have this on my 4th house sag and both are in retrograde…I was browsing looking for a meaning to it when I came across this site..I remember I would sometimes build or do something then afterwards I’ll stop or just feel like losing my enthusiasm on pushing through what I started.I always procrastinate and think thoroughly about making decisions,I have 4 planets that are in retrogrades.Plus my sun sign is in cancer so you see I’m such an emotional person,it’s exhausting emotionally and mentally,that’s what I noticed with myself.But I always come up with the weirdest out of this world ideas..
Hi medea 🙂 Thanks for visiting.
Hi, just passing by this site, I have this conjunction, you may help me understand it because it is more complex than you think:
Saturn at 20º
Uranus at 26º
It makes them being a conjunction, surprisingly they are both in 12th house, so Uranus is conjunct to my Ascendant (which is cappricorn) and my Neptune is 7º degrees in 1st house, it makes Neptune conjuncts to my Ascendant, it is a chain of conjunctions. What do you think about?
Hi Pherseu and thanks for visiting 🙂
I have this conjunction in Sagittarius in the 7th house. And these planets are the apex of a yod formed between my Sun in Cancer and Jupiter in Taurus. I’m still trying to figure out what this means!!!!
Thanks for visiting Lauren 🙂 Definitely…. an interesting placement those two in Sag in the 7th! Your love life must be…. interesting 🙂
Oh, I just realized…. My Saturn & Uranus are also opposite my Gemini Moon & Ascendant. What effect does this have ?
I have Saturn conjunct Uranus in the 7th. It’s exhausting for sure. I’m guilty of always looking for a more exciting relationship, or the next best thing. I’m constantly having a battle in my mind about my relationships and if I should walk away and find something new and more stimulating, or build on what I already have. My Libra moon adds to my need for partnership so I usually try to work with what I’ve already started. That doesn’t mean I don’t second guess myself a lot though.
Thanks for your feedback about this conjunction!
Hi! Just came across your blog…I’m a newbie to astrology, and working on reading my chart. I have this conjunction, also in the 7th house in Sagittarius. Neptune is also sitting there. I, too have the ambivalent feelings in relationships! If it gets boring or tough, im out the door. I’m a Gemini Moon & Ascendant, as well…so I’m always seeking out new & exciting relationships, which for me should always progressive & headed towards some type of social change.
My mother in law has this conjunction in Taurus and she IS an architect 🙂
cool!
I have this in Capricorn in the 2nd house, I believe. I don’t know too much about. Never, really looked into deeply.
I vaguely remember it positively. Like he soul of an architect, as you put it. That I might be able to create or build this in an unorthodox but structured way. (if that makes scene, lol)
I’m not too sure how it effects other parts of my life, praticualy as its in the 2nd house. But now you’ve got me thinking.. not leaving well enough alone? always trying to be “better’?
MONEY. i.e. making it. also your self-worth. 2nd house!
hi aliza, i hav saturn, uranas, moon and neptune in the 9th house in the sign of sagittarius. what are the positive and negative ascepts of this combination! plz help abt this……
