Uranus and Saturn

I have Saturn at 17 degrees and Uranus at 11 degrees. I have a lot of stuff between 16 and 18 degrees and then a bunch of stuff at 11 degrees, so these are two major themes in my chart AND Uranus is part of a "stellium by transition of light."

Stelliums are uncommon and it's three or four planets conjunct (at the same point together). Some people use wide orbs and say "It's this aspect even if it's up to 10 degrees off!"

That's not my cup of tea, but I do have four heavenly bodies in one sign that work together as a group sort of AS IF it were a stelli even though they aren't conjunct because all their midpoints converge at 17 degrees.

So it's a little like having a set of old fashioned scales and putting a bigger bowl or platter on one side so the weight adds up even though the pieces are not that close, I guess.

Anyway, Uranus is kind of "expect the unexpected!" And Saturn is kind of "The tortoise wins because he's CONSISTENT, you fool rabbit." 

So they conflict or describe very different kinds of energy or patterns of behavior. 

I write about water infrastructure in deserts and business and food security etc. All of those involve inconsistent inputs and a need for consistent outputs. That is a primary problem you are trying to solve.

So if you live in a desert, you get rainfall maybe a few times a year that trends towards flash floods and causes problems. You need to somehow slow or capture your water inputs so wadis -- stream beds that are sometimes wet and sometimes dry -- are wet more consistently or you've captured water in a container so you have consistent access to water for daily showers and cooking etc. even though inputs are few, far between, inconsistent etc.

Food also has growing seasons and throughout human history a basic essential aspect of societal success is figuring out how to grow enough food and store it so you eat all year and have a fairly consistent calorie intake every day.

Business also is subject to this conflict. My understanding is that "Black Friday" -- the official first Christmas shopping day of the year -- is called that because it is the day a lot of businesses are put in the black financially (aka are profitable for the year) even though it's late in the eleventh month of the year.

So many businesses are running in the red most of the year and the Christmas shopping season keeps them profitable because they get a big influx of business for a month at the end of the year.

They may have SOME business all year long, but they aren't making a profit. They may not even be breaking even.

And yet they may need to be running at a loss the other eleven months of the year to keep their name out there, have some income every month, have adequate skill etc. for that one month a year to keep them profitable. It may not work to try to only sell for one month out of the year and do something else for money the rest of the year.
