now that saturn the lord of karma, father of time and great task master has stationed direct- we have the next 7 weeks to wrap up our saturn in scorpio lessons, karmas and opportunities for self-mastery before he moves into sagittarius (exact 9/17). saturn forces us to learn and grow- by pruning, disciplining us and giving us limitations to work through. with saturn in scorpio growth comes by way of dancing with the shadows (all that we are afraid of or obsessed by that we push into the Unconscious). since october 2012 when saturn entered scorpio we have had saturn and pluto in mutual reception- in each other’s signs (saturn in scorpio, pluto in capricorn)- doubling down on the intensity and underworld/shadow energy present. the last 2 1/2 years have been DEEP- there’s just no getting around it.
BIG STUFF has been up around mastery of our fears, desires, sexuality, power, control, finances and debt. saturn will move into sadge just shy of autumn equinox so we have the rest of the summer to navigate the last degrees of saturn in scorpio (he will not return to this sign for 30 years). the last degrees of any sign are the shit or get off the pot points. they bring a culmination and completion energy. if we have been doing our inner work, facing our fears and confronting our shadow dynamics- then this summer can feel like graduation time where we get our PhD in transformation and empowerment (woo-hoo!!!). yet if we have been avoiding dealing with the shadow and shit for the last 2 1/2 years- then the next 7 weeks can be super intense, harrowing and really not fun at all. the key with saturn is realizing we get the consequences or rewards that are a direct result of our efforts (or non-effort as the case may be). so if you find yourself dealing with some highly intense situations- internally or externally- look to see where you have actually created this situation first so that you can get clear on what YOU need to DO to shift things.
on top of saturn stations we had jupiter square stationary direct saturn early this morning- creating tension and friction between the two teacher/guru planets. the push/pull energy between expansion and contraction, growth and pruning, Light and shadow, positivity and reality are palpable right now. yet jupiter provides opportunity and saturn provides mastery- and let me tell you OPPORTUNITIES FOR MASTERY are absolutely potent right now. we all being asked to straddle the razors edge- so go where you fear to tread this summer and you will be rewarded big time spiritually, psychologically, emotionally and more!
sending saturn blessings your way….
