Opposites Attract

This week I visited the Roof Garden at the top of the Metropolitan Museum.  It really is a place where the bucolic lushness of Central Park merges with the urban skyscraper landscape.  It got me thinking about the current Mars/Saturn opposition Uranus.  The trees are the Mars Saturn in Libra – all about roots, beauty and the constant cycles of nature.  The skyline with its hard edges – very man-made, jagged and Uranian.  We all fall somewhere in this polarity and affinity.  Do we need the space and serenity of the countryside or the street-buzz of the city.  Where are we happiest ?  For some the city is excitement and the countryside is boredom, for others nature is freedom and the city is stifling.  This amazing view across the treetops of Central Park towards the dazzling skyline captures the opposites.
