God I wish it were cold out. When will it happen? It feels like endless summer here in the big city. I’d love to go for a walk but damn it’s so hot and bright out. Good thing I’ve got Virgo Season shit to do, and I may still head out but DAMN ENOUGH ALREADY.
This is nothing new for me; I love winter. Give me empty trees and a down coat and I’m happy. But this desire to stand in darkness is one manifestation of SATURN LIFE which is my life right now.
Dear friend, are you under a hard Saturn transit? Then you too are Saturn Life. Every transit has its own ambiance.
I’m grateful for my friend Laura who keeps reminding me that I’m under a Saturn transit. I study other people’s charts but lately I forget what going on in mine. and who wouldn’t want to forget Saturn opposing their Moon?!
Saturn will be opposing my Moon, off and on, for much of Saturn in Pisces. It makes some lovely trines to my Cancer stellium but Saturn Moon is about as bleak as it gets.
(Btw, I wrote a book about Saturn. Feels like I wrote it a million years ago and I think I did.)
Wisdom gained through experience, writes Isabel Hickey about Saturn. Limitation and delay. Time. Discipline. And she’s got many more words, but how does it feel day to day? Sad. It feels sad. And right now Saturn is retrograde so I’m cruising along with less Saturn dark clouds raining raining raining, scowling, but I know soon enough Saturn will go direct and have new lessons, new tests.
What to do? I’m sure someone out there is having a hard Saturn transit whether to the Moon or Sun (or other planet or point) OR MAYBE YOU ARE SATURN and this is a daily thing. Maybe you’re a first house Saturn. You were born OLD. (Hello Capricorns.)
(And speaking of Saturn and reality checks, I would be lying if I said I had even a modicum of enthusiasm for astrology blogging anymore but it’s still what I do (readings) so here we are. Us Gen-Exers, early-internet astrologers truly grew up in public. We’re tired. As I started to write here, I got a bit into the groove. Saturn = discipline. Just sit in the chair and write and don’t get up. Music helps, always. Saturn does the thing.)
That feeling like you’re dying: that’s Saturn. Wasting away? Saturn. “I’m dying here,” says Saturn. “May as well just let me die. Whatevs.”
But the key to possibly every hard Saturn transit is to find mentors, older folk, the wise, the sages. Allow yourself to fall into the bosom of the father figures. It’s not about nurturing although they are nurturing. It’s more about your maturing, ego strength, growing up. Every Saturn transit is a growing up transit. It’s annoying, right? But the father figures are there to protect you and teach you about BOUNDARIES. Good Saturn releases you from guilt.
Another key to Saturn transits is to lift weight. This could be barbells or a project that will take a really really long time. Think Ten of Wands. Carry it until the end.
Saturn = no time for stupid. I even said in class the other day that I didn’t want to waste my time reading something that I wasn’t gonna work to understand. It’s not enough for me to half get it (so I said).
AND NOTHING SHALL BE WASTED, say your hard Saturn transits. We will conserve and preserve every last fragment and bone of the lesson. And Saturn will be pleased. And Saturn will help you accept the losses by applying steady pressure.
That’s also the lesson of Saturn. Accept the losses. Look them in the face and say: I accept.
Alright, dear star lovers. I’m gonna go for now. Here’s the link to the new site and I’m gonna cut and paste this blog post over there.
