When this aspect involves personal planets or points there will be an inner struggle between embracing structure and wanting to rebel against it and shatter it. There will be a willingness to break conventions in a blunt fashion so as to cause people to think. This is a frustrating aspect that reflects stupefaction between tradition and the new, a need to build new value systems and new outlines for behavior. There is a search after a point of balance between the old beliefs and new ones. Usually there is difficulty working with the system because of a rebellious streak that tends to create problems. The individual will be very opinionated and there may be a know-it-all attitude, a belief in the individual that he knows best how things should be done, however the cold nature of this aspect, together with the inherent frustrations can have the person exhibit some kinds of brutal behaviors.

This square can feel like a constant struggle between stability and change, peace keeping and conflict. Depending on the areas of the chart it influences, Uranus will constantly try to break through Saturnian established traditionalism, and bring out the new. Supressing either planet is dangerous, for if given free reign, Uranus will want an instant transformation, without any planned deliberation or protocol, whereas if Saturn is stronger, it will block the flow of change, prevent free expression, and suffocate the Uranian need for freedom, independence or individuality, causing him to 'BREAK' free, in unexpected and dangerous ways. To work creatively with this square, one might need to change it from a sword to a ballancing rod on the tight wire, where constant and due attention is given to both ends: Uranus is given the possibility to constantly drip in its visionary energy, sincerity and electrical magnificance through the careful, compasionate and attentive Saturnian channel.

There is a tendency for the individual to associate with one point of this square and experience the other through outside factors or project it onto others. For instance, an Uranian individual - who has Uranus prominent in the chart or in contact with personal planets or points - might 'prefer' to experience Saturn through the others, who then can be perceived as restrictive, limiting, furstrating and generally providing opporunities to express his or her rebelious nature. Similarly, for the Saturnian individual, Uranus might take the shape of disruptive or unsettling outside influences that force the native to eventually allow change, unpredictability and lack of control over the future in their own life. Often there is a overtly expressed preference for one point of the square which might be more of an aspiration than a fact: the native would like to be seen solely as unconventional, independent and freedom loving, but has in fact never moved out of his little natal village, where all the locals are set in their ways and resistant to change. His personal fear of change is not integrated but placed on other people, circumstances and so on. It is therefore advisable to constantly try to own these polarised energies oneself, acknowledge and work with the opposite drives in our own nature: there is strenght in seeing both sides of a coin and, if properly balanced, the middle ground can be of great service to oneself and others.
