When Saturn is in transit, conjunct Descendant?

[Carol]

and Uranus is conjunct Ascendant...is this a good time, or a bad time, to start a new relationship? Is this a good time, or a bad time, to make new friends, and reshape my identity for people?

Because, it's been my reaction lately, but I'm just not sure about what course I should be taking right now. If someone could give a little more information on how these transits manifest for a person, I'd really appreciate it, because my stuff if kind of conflicted right now.

Whew, so much to say here (pops knuckles)

Saturn has been opposing uranus since october of last year and it will continue to oppose until about april of this year. Just like the consistant sextile between neptune and pluto (which has been on and off for like the last 80 years), saturn and uranus in opposition will have a more broad affect. Both are slower moving planets, so naturally it will take longer for the aspect to fade than for most usual aspects (which last about 3 days to a month). Saturn will turn direct and then will once again oppose uranus in late august of this year, and it will stay opposing until november.

Whenever transiting uranus and transiting saturn make any aspect to one another, you can bet some oddities will happen. Saturn embodies everything the uranus does not; they are total opposites. So, for two opposites to actually form an opposition seems ironic. Uranus stands for freedom, saturn is restrictions. Uranus tears down, saturn gives structure. Uranus is scientific, saturn is practical. So, during this time, people may seem like they want freedoms and change so badly, yet they are unwilling to give it to others.

Saturn transiting to your ASC/DC axis would likely not be favorable for starting new relationships. Actually, it is a good time to stand back and see what in your life is falling apart, then try to give foundation to those things you wish to keep, and do away with those you don't. You may seem more serious and goal-oriented to others at this time. Ideally, you will work hard and save back some cash for when you will receive some positive jupiter transits or progressions lol.

If uranus is transiting, arcing, or progressing to the natal ascedant/descendant axis, we can expect major life changes. Possibly a change of geographical location, or perhaps a birth or death of someone who has/will been/be a prominent person in your life. At the most devastating, this could mean a time of being totally flipped upside down. Maybe things are running smoothly, but then all of a sudden it's as if you cannot hold on to anything. Things that you once had great control over may be slipping through your fingers. You also, on a more positive side, may feel like asserting yourself more positively now. You might venture off and find opportunities now, so even if you feel a bit shaken up, you really should keep an open mind (and an open ear) to things.

Of course, you describe yourself as being "conflicted" right now, and that's precisely the kind of thing this transit is doing to lots of people. In your case it directly affects your ascendant so I would expect even more to happen to your persona and image. Making new friends might not be bad.......I'd look to some other things for that kind of change.
