Semi-Sextile Saturn – Uranus
(Transit. Saturn → Natal Uranus)
Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects
Semi-Sextile of Saturn: There are spots on the Sun of the inner sky. This aspect signifies great responsibility before the cosmic karma in the spheres of the planet, the possibility of its deep understanding, and, when worked through, promises otherworldly wisdom and perfection. At a low level, a person will limit themselves to claims about the low quality of what happens in the external world in the spheres of the planet, not understanding, first, that their demands are often poorly understood by others, who usually stand entirely on earthly positions, and, second, that karma in this case primarily refers to internal work toward an ever-deeper meaning in cosmic (not just earthly) evolution. Until a person reaches this level of understanding, the spheres of the planet will attract them, and they will understand them, perhaps more deeply than others, yet, for reasons unknown to themselves, their level will not satisfy them. With Saturn afflicted in connection with this, complexes and phobias may arise, along with genuine bewilderment toward the environment, the inner world, or God: “What else do you want from me?!” Indeed, the demands—or rather expectations (after all, a semi-sextile is a harmonious aspect)—of worldly karma in this case are great, and superficial or short-lived efforts will not suffice.
In a harmonious variant, this aspect grants relatively deep penetration and original vision in the spheres of the planet in the natural course of life, not immediately but without excessive effort. However, this is not enough; harmonious aspects can mask subtle dissatisfaction with the cosmic egregore and, accordingly, a slight discomfort in the inner world, which intensifies when the inner world is affected.
Semi-Sextile of Uranus: The Last Judgment is not quite the right definition. It is cosmic. This is an aspect difficult to work through (here, Uranus is decadent), but most often, it manifests in minor, fleeting flashes of cosmic enlightenment that a person pays no attention to. A strong activation of Uranus can trigger this semi-sextile, and then a person finds themselves under the strong influence of the cosmic egregore, having been, as a rule, unprepared for it. If the semi-sextile connects Uranus with a 4th-level planet, it signifies a sudden activation of cosmic karma, and a person is drawn into a current over which they have no control and usually does not understand what is happening—here, only humility and higher spiritual orientation can help.
If the active semi-sextile of Uranus involves a lower planet, one can attempt to rise to the level of cosmic perception of what is happening in its spheres, and then the signs of fate may speak in a language that, if not entirely human, is at least comprehensible to the person. The Uranian crisis can be overcome and sometimes even deciphered and practically implemented in excess of Uranian revelations; fortunately, they rarely take the form of direct blows of fate. However, with a strong affliction of Uranus, a brief but complete departure from the boundaries of earthly perception may occur, which externally appears as madness.
