Uranus:
Planet of technology, but in my book not ruler of Aquarius-Saturn is!
Technology is only one part of the story here....Technology gives us choices.We make those choices. If it is *in our nature* to end a relationship in a cruel, avoiding manner, such as by a text message, then if we have that technology available, we will use it.Some will.
Print on a screen, such as emails,sms messages, allows us to separate from our feelings- if we want to...it makes it easy to avoid facing people and the consequences of our actions and decisions- if we so choose. Alarmingly a whole generation seem to be choosing this modus operandi...The generation of kids who have Uranus in sag, and then cap.
As saturn rules the fundamental structure of both our parochial society and the global society, I think we will be in for interesting changes when saturn and Uranus oppose...
The existence of technology continually raises issues of responsible use of it.We are seeing this in every aspect of technology- the ethical issues of medical interventions, the privacy issues raised by modern surveillance-the list goes on, but we are seeing it in our personal relationships also, and how we conduct them.Mobile cell phones, emails etc enable us to immediately *project* our **** onto another person...no sad face before us to allow compassion or empathy to enter into it- clinical.We are a *throwaway society* consumed by materialism and more and more distancing ourselves from our feelings. Saturn brings stability and structure-Uranus brings challenge, disruption and change...When these two oppose, who will prevail?
Uranus tugs at the very fundaments of our society, challenging our views to everything.Pluto, in capricorn, will be in saturns sign (on saturns side?).
When saturn is finished with virgo it moves into Libra-where the issues of how we relate will be a focus....Not far into the future we will have a society made up of people who have *been dumped by text message*(!)...it will be interesting to see if the current trend continues....
