With several big planets retrograde right now, it is the perfect storm for transformation on just about every level. The retrograde dynamic calls for self reflection, community reflection, national and global reflection. Saturn is the Historic karmic Law Mechanism of life, so what we have sewn so shall we reap, individually and in all that governs us. This can feel heavy, to say the least, though it is important to remember that there is no “good or bad karma,” rather, actions and consequences. Karma is simply the mechanism. It does not assign judgement.
In other words since Saturn is the father, authority, protector, provider governing structures, it is time for us to look at how these dynamics are showing up for each of us, individually and collectively. So here is a two-part question for you: How have the “sins of the father” et al visited and structured within each of us (a) individually, (and because of other planets in retrograde), and (b) collectively?
Reinventing Society’s Outmoded Destructive Ways
It will behoove you, me and us to reflect and perhaps journal about these two questions because Saturn went into the sign of freedom-loving, socially progressive sign of Aquarius. It asks the very ambitious, highly structured authoritarian Capricorn dimension, within and without, to open up to a better, more humanitarian way. This might involve reinventing some of society’s self-defeating attitudes. policies and structures that have been holding us back.
Right now, with the recent unjust racial killings, we are looking at the entire profession of policing. It is historically rooted in a strong arm overseeing faction to keep slaves (considered chattel at that time) from stepping “out of line” and/or attempting to escape to free themselves from the oppressive forces of white supremacy. That was the order of the day in the South. It was a culture that apparently pervades and persists, even now. A more Aquarian approach would house a motive of respect for all cultures and the unique beauty of the individual. Its integrity would be steeped in a guardianship of understanding, guidance and protection.
Aquarius ushers in advancements in technology, more rational detached scientific ways of perceiving our lives. It would be an eclectic approach with a respect for the unique nature of every woman and man. It is “the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.” Between now and September 29th we are being asked to reflect on what no longer serves humanity. It is not rocket science. Just look at the social issues that are affecting us globally - two pandemics, covid and racial injustice.
Navigating the Volatility of Change
One thing is for sure Aquarius relates to learning how to navigate the volatility of change. We will be learning and, most likely, inventing un-usual ways to increase our empathy, endurance, transparency and agility.
For the next two and a half years Saturn will be in Aquarius. We can make great strides in discovering, planning and implementing solutions together. These solutions will become the foundation for the future or we will, sadly, have to learn the hard way, through terrible sudden disasters that make covid-19 seem like Santa Claus.
Aquarius brings sudden changes that force us to work together in friendship with, dare I say it, love and compassion as our oxygen.
May you find joy and fulfillment in the release.
It is an excellent time to schedule a Zoom or phone reading to find out how Saturn may be used to your personal advantage.
