Throughout this period, Saturn is transiting in Leo and Neptune is in Aquarius. The first time they exactly opposed each other in the sky was when they were at 17 degrees of their respective signs on August 31, 2006. Next, Saturn -- the faster-moving planet -- will exactly oppose Neptune at 20 degrees of their respective signs on February 28, 2007. Finally, Saturn will oppose Neptune at the 21st degree on June 25, 2007. There are three "hits" due to the retrograde cycle of Saturn, in which it moves backwards in the sky after the first time it opposed Neptune, and then moves "direct" again after the second hit. This sounds technical because … well it is … Saturn and Neptune last connected (conjoined) in 1989! It's a slow cycle, and doesn't happen every day.
