When the aspect is not an enhancement, the native is usually attracted to non-Judeo-Christian ideas. Generally, the native is highly responsible, faithful, and peace loving, but willing to fight and die for a cause. (Note this is the same interpretation as the Sun/Jupiter except with the moon the emotional side is amplified.)

He is earnest and ambitious, but his plans do not materialize as expected; a hard worker but generally receives little gain; usually fails in business though careful and persevering; unlooked for obstacles, delays, disappointments, rebuffs and reversals constantly arise, coupled with lack of opportunities and unfavorable circumstances at the critical or needed times. It is an unfortunate aspect for marriage, yet if the planets are in common signs, usually marries more than once.

The native meets with persecution, slander or scandal; disapproval of seniors, parents or employers; difficulties and sorrows through parents, property and possessions. Sorrow through death of young people and mother. Temporary derangements of the health, colds, falls and accidents. The native should refrain from strong physics and employ healthful exercises. This aspect affects the disposition, causing the subject to become somewhat selfish, subtle, careful of his own interests, given to periods of worry, anxiety, doubt, mistrust in self, gloom and despondency. A good aspect f Sun, Jupiter, Mars or Venus will help to offset the severity of the above.

Venus (Ruler) Opposition Jupiter

Strong desire for grace, refinement, talent, beauty and luxury, but forced to be content with these to an ordinary or limited extent and satisfied with best show or substitute possible. Unless other testimonies offset this, it is not a good aspect for the accumulation of money, as a great deal is spent for appearances in dress, ornaments, luxury; inclines to easy good nature and fondness for pleasure, producing lack off accurate business instinct, resulting in loss through carelessness, fraud, deception, desertion, separation, prosecution, speculation, and unsound investments or securities.

Peculiar religious benefits, emotional disturbances, uncertain health, danger form the deceit and dishonesty, trouble through water, liquids, drugs, oils, chemicals or beverages.

Saturn (Detriment) Semisquare Uranus

The tendencies and desires are the same as before mentioned, but the subject has not the capacity and ability to direct the forces to the same successful results and meets with general misfortune through things mentioned and indicated by the houses these planets occupy. This aspect has an injurious effect on the health at some tie, weakening the parts of the body denoted by the signs occupied, especially by Saturn, producing a heavy, complicated and serious sickness, either long drawn our or else incurable. Liability to accidents by falls, falling object, collisions, acts of nature, riots or uprising and disregard for the rights for feeling of others. Mentally it gives singular, imaginative, eccentric and peculiar attitudes sudden temper, impulsive, aggressive acts. Radical or destructive tendencies. In a very weak or adverse chart, may invert the abilities and become thoroughly bad, treacher5ous, violent, or the aspect may manifest indolence, idleness, with an improvident attitude, satisfied only in catering to the tastes and emotions. Disrespect for laws.

Saturn (Detriment) Sextile Neptune

Like Saturn + Uranus, this pairing represents unhappiness with prevailing mores or accepted beliefs and the status quo, but here, there is the desire to change public views and ideas with the fervent wish to instill a particular set of his/her own values and doctrines, but always with the willingness to bring about change in a nonviolent fashion; ability to innovate the arts and create new art forms.

Saturn (Detriment) Square Chiron

** Turbulent Aspect ** This provides the native with the unusual ability to be a force against Judeo-Christian beliefs, morals and family values, and against marriage as an institution. This aspect also gives the native an ability to dominate the destinies of others, for better or worse. The native very often has a desire and ability to destroy marriages and break up families, and is often against the free enterprise economic system, preferring socialism or communism. Because this is a Saturn aspect, a turbulent angle can result in unconventionality. Especially in a woman, the turbulent Saturn-Chiron aspect is the Seclusion Aspect, with the native often living the last decades without a loved one. If a person has this aspect, there is far greater need to be much more careful about any involvement. In any relationship of love, a Romantic Super Linkage is required to offset this natal aspect. Please remember that all other natal aspects must be taken into account when analyzing a chart, and there could be offsetting aspects.
