Uranus-Neptune in Aquarius in the 6th

 ©1-24-2011 by Donna Cunningham, MSW

Lately, we’ve been working on conjunctions here on Skywriter, with a series of posts designed to help readers learn how to interpret them for themselves, rather than rely on memorized cookbook descriptions. Readers Ask—Q&A about Conjunctions  and How to Analyze a Conjunction provided the basic tools.

Earlier this week, you were challenged to try them out in the Contest—Interpret the Uranus-Neptune Conjunction of the 1980s-90s . I provided keywords for Neptune and Uranus, for Capricorn and Aquarius, and for the 6^th and 7^th houses. There would be ebook prizes for the best 150-word descriptions of those features in 4 different combinations.

• Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn in the 6th
• Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn in the 7^th
• Uranus and Neptune in Aquarius in the 6^th
• Uranus and Neptune in Aquarius in the 7^th

Why is it important? It’s shared by virtually every young person between the ages of 12 and 25. Most of them born in the winter have multiple conjunctions between Uranus, Neptune, and one or more inner planets like the Sun, Mercury, and Venus.

They’ll be coming to astrologers for advice. We need to be ready. The reason I chose the 6^th and 7^th houses was because far more clients ask questions about love and work than any other concern.

Far more of the entries seemed comfortable interpreting the conjunction in Capricorn than the same conjunction in Aquarius, perhaps because the Capricorn group is older and entering the workplace.

And, regardless of the sign, they understood the conjunction in the 6^th and its impact on the job more readily than in the 7^th and its impact on partnership.  To understand these positions more fully, download all the entries here: Conjunction Contest Results–full.

  Uranus-Neptune in Capricorn in the 6^th   

Jay Linden:  An empowered version of this conjunction would show up as a well-balanced person with an exciting career, probably in the arts, a hard- worker capable of sticking the distance to realise zany and innovative creative visions that would touch a cord with the cultural concerns of the day and likely be very successful.

The instability of Uranus would be balanced by the grounded nature of Capricorn which would ensure the visions manifested would be of quality and substance.

The inspiration of Neptune and innovations of Uranus both serve to lighten the Capricorn energy and move the focus away from just being successful to revolutionising the way a culture views that particular art form and to nourishing the collective soul. In opposition, or in a T-square, these disparate energies might be hard to manage, however as a conjunction – they rock.

A Reader from that Generation who has this position shares what it’s like:

Vah: Okay, here’s my take on Uranus conjunct Neptune in Capricorn in the 6^th, since I have this exact combo natally. It’s not exactly that they don’t respect the higher ups, but a certain dissolution of boundaries can take place at times, authority figures suddenly finding themselves replaced by the Uranus Neptune person, for reasons that are unclear and ultimately not really in the best interests of either party, unless well aspected by a planet in the 10th perhaps. Working in the alternative health field.  Getting paid by ‘the man’ but still working for their own ideals and causes.

I also think about internet addiction, or unrestrained use of gadgets interfering with the health of the person. Uranus rules electricity and Neptune rules invisible things, I think of wifi, cellphones such as the iphone that are constantly putting out signals, even when turned off, constant exposure to this kind of radiation or “stuff” whatever they call it could very well turn out to be hazardous to the health of a person. (6th house).

  Pat: First off, just looking at the conjunction of Uranus and Neptune, we see a thirst for independence that is like a religion. So, these kids as a whole will not likely be happy in the traditional 9 to 5 setting. In fact, time off, starting at the top and making a lot of money right away will probably be the cornerstone this generation.

This individual will probably approach their everyday tasks with aloofness, perhaps in a certain cold and calculating way, obsessed with achieving their own goals. He/she may be somewhat of a dreamer or inventor interested in bettering the collective through some sort of occupation involved with reforming the status quo, and grounded in hope and vision. Perhaps working in the green industry may be a good career choice. I think this configuration may present a tightly wound person who keeps their pain inside and finds relief through drugs.

Uranus-Neptune in Capricorn in the 7^th

 Mari: Capricorn tends to approach making a commitment to an intimate relationship rather pragmatically and taking a long view into the future. That is, unless the sexual chemistry is particularly potent with their potential mate. It is in these situations that a Seventh House conjunction of Uranus and Neptune tends to make itself felt. The sensual earthiness of Capricorn can loosen their usually firm grasp on reality and cause them to invest their love, trust, and future on impulse.

When the mists of romantic infatuation dissipate and Capricorn returns to a more reasonable state, however, they may find that they have chosen a mate who is very different from them. Their mate may not live by the same rules of behavior, follow a similar philosophy or religious tradition, or share a cultural or sub-cultural heritage.

 The ultimate question, therefore, is whether or not these differences can be transcended by Neptune and be the foundation upon which Uranus can build new traditions. 161 words

 Sally:  With Cancer rising and Capricorn on the 7th, the 20th Century expectation would be to marry a respectable, ambitious mate and build a secure nest. But someone with this dissonant conjunction will feel impelled to question the status quo, explore beyond the box, and learn to fly solo—with close partners serving as the necessary catalyst.

The challenges will be: to learn how to make deep connections without sacrificing personal boundaries and identity; to experiment with radical ideas and possibilities without becoming a rebel or an outcast; and do both while contributing something substantial to the global community.

 Combining planetary energies that resist structure and stability with a tendency to idealize partners is bound to produce disappointment and frequent upheavals. I foresee a series of provocative relationships that can help build the independence, competence, and self-reliance this person needs to survive/thrive in the 21st century.

Uranus-Neptune in Aquarius in the 7^th

 Margaret:  This person might have psychic sensitivity, but certainly an orientation to spiritual seeking everywhere but in a traditional church. There is likely to be an impatience with the world’s imperfections. This person could be an inspired reformer, but could also be too easily frustrated, if the pace of change is not fast enough, to keep working toward reform long enough to see the efforts bear fruit.

With House 7 involved, the person may be prone to falling in love at first sight, and the partner would be a friend as much as a lover, but the relationships are likely to be unstable.

This would apply to other types of partnerships, as well, such as partnerships the person might form to pursue humanitarian and/or spiritual reforms. The idealism would be so strong, the person would probably be repeatedly disappointed, first idealizing someone and then discovering the person falls short of perfection.

And an entry that would take a prize for succinctness, though not for optimism:

Imacynic:  Uranus-Neptune conjunct in Aquarius in the 7^th? Don’t need no stinking 150 words.  I’ll give it to you in 3:

                                                Marriage? What marriage?

Where to from here?

I’m trying to give you the foundation you need to interpret aspects independently, because aspects are the basic building blocks of astrological analysis. It’s the next step beyond planet in sign, because the aspects are powerful modifiers.

It doesn’t say much if you have the Moon in Libra, when a conjunction to Pluto or Neptune or Uranus makes it a whole different Moon. Likewise a Neptune conjunction to a Capricorn Rising might just as well not be in Capricorn. If you don’t understand the aspects to a planet, you don’t understand the person.

So if you can’t interpret a conjunction that involves two planets, one house and one sign, how are you going to interpret a square that involves two planets, two signs, and two houses. Or a t-square with three planets, three signs, and three houses?    

The only way to do that is to start with the basic building blocks, and keep on practicing doing the interpretations yourself rather than just looking it up in a book or online. Books cannot give you all the possible combinations of planet, sign, house, and aspect, so you need to be able to put those combinations together on your own.  

Readers, how are you really doing on aspects?   Can you interpret them easily?  Or do you feel over your head?
