Coping With The Current Saturn Neptune Opposition - It's a Hall Of Mirrors and We're All In It: Astrology in Real Life
Published September 01, 2006
I was talking to an astrologer pal today about Saturn opposing Neptune in the sky and how her life has been impacted as well as events in the collective. Well, mostly she was talking. It was her dime. But to sum it all up, in the end she said she just felt everyone was crazy. “Crazy has never been more popular,” she said. “Do you agree?” This is cf talking and that’s how she talks. Elegantly, that is.
Well I told her I was not sure if I agreed or not. I explained I have strong a strong Saturn Neptune signature in my chart and have been very curious to see how the collective would deal with what I and people like me deal with day in and day out. A disappearing (Neptune) reality (Saturn), that is. Reality isn’t real and un-reality often is.
She asked me to elaborate and I brought up the photoshopped Katie Couric shots as an example. “There’s a picture of a person and you think that’s what they look like, but it isn’t. It’s a hologram. Like that photographer in Israel who was faking the war photos. You are being shown something, but it is reality? Obviously not. And is he the only photographer fudging photos? Doubt it."
I explained the day before I heard about 10 seconds of a Bush interview around Katrina.
“He’s got the microphone in his face and he opens his mouth and all this unreal stuff comes out. The people think the government’s response was fantastic or some such thing. And you stand there hearing this and wonder if it’s real. Is it? Is it real because he says it’s real? Is that how the people feel?”
And you get the idea. Real unreality is everywhere you turn. You think something is real (Saturn), but hey! Maybe not!
And personally, I am in my element. All of the sudden I am making sense to people! Intuition (Neptune) is real (Saturn). Magic (Neptune) is real (Saturn) The ethereal is now real and the real is ethereal and it just keeps going back and forth like that.
And later in the conversation, I was trying to explain around the circumstances in her life, that she was not going to be able NAIL things down. It’s just not possible. Nail someone to a cross and whoops! Their spirit slipped out, right? Hah! Trick's on you. It’s very slippery stuff. Like catching Casper! Good luck.
And this is very hard for the pragmatic or for those who like control (Saturn). Because you simply can’t execute in normal fashion. And the harder you dig your heels in (Saturn), the more you’ll be undermined (Neptune).
So what about you? Have you noticed your reality (Saturn) shifting (Neptune)?

Hi, interesting article. I'm trying to look optimistically at this Saturn Neptune opposition but it's been a trial at times; it lies across my midheaven axis. One thing you didn't mention in your happy pairings above was Real(Saturn) and Drugs(Neptune). Septembertime I realised that I had slipped unkowingly into a serious alcohol/cocaine place; not a great place and I hadn't even noticed, reality was some jolt!!!. Maybe Saturns influence eventually came to the fore as I've got it sorted now (as much as you can get it sorted!). This powerful pair made their second pass across my midheaven axis a couple of weeks ago and I was made redundant from my job and it's been hard to resist the cocaine and alcohol - but I have! The third pass comes in June. I hope your positive talk above and my optimism proves to prevail rather than my experiences this past six months.
Last time saturn squared my midheaven axis from Leo I was thrown out of school; proved to be a great thing to happen though so I'm ever hopeful!
