Planetary oppositions are like congressional standoffs. There’s nothing remotely complimentary or potentially harmonizing about them. On July 9 the Sun in Cancer will face off against Saturn in Capricorn. That means that there’s something you want but there’s no way you’re going to get it. The higher you reach for your prize, the faster it eludes your grasp; the lower you stoop, the more compromising your situation becomes. So what do you do? Stop focusing on what you don’t have and work with what you do. Maybe it’s a neglected talent, an undervalued skill, or something you regard as a personal defect. It may not be much, but it’s more than you imagine. Saturn, the planet of trials and tribulations, is also the planet of cast-offs and diamonds in the rough. It rewards ingenuity. Remember that it’s the stone the builders rejected that winds up becoming the cornerstone. Signs most affected: Cancer, Leo, Capricorn, and Aquarius
