saturn lessons…

by | Feb 27, 2012 | Astrology Blog

this week we have a lot of tense aspects to saturn, who is currently retrograde at the 29th degree of libra.  the 29th degree of any sign is very powerful- it is fruition point and culmination of all the other degrees of the sign involved.  when you have a potent planet such as saturn at 29 libra we have major lessons up around partnership, commitment, balance and boundaries.  this is huge- and although saturn has been in libra for 2 years now, this last stretch of saturn in this sign (lasting until october when saturn moves into scorpio) is POTENT.

this week mercury quincunxes saturn on thursday, mars semisquares saturn on friday, the sun sesquiquadrates saturn on saturday and venus opposes saturn on sunday.  the mind, the will, the ego and the heart are all making tense aspects to saturn.  this brings up issues around self-mastery, personal responsibility, dealing with reality, pruning, restructuring and perhaps even letting go of karmic circumstances/situations that are limiting us and holding us back from our personal and collective evolution.

whenever saturn is involved there are some simple steps we can go through to get on board with he is asking of us and take the initiative to grow and evolve.  the saturn steps are:

1) look at reality as it is

2) take personal responsibility for it

3) figure out what you did to get it where it is (no blaming others!)

4) figure out what you need to do to get it where you want to be (actions YOU can take, not ones you need others to take)

5) DO IT!

it’s very simple.  saturn is about Self-mastery, and it is not easy.  it is hard work.  it’s easy to run a mile, but try running a marathon and pushing through the last couple of miles.  it takes sheer will and concentrated focus.  it takes discipline and impeccability.  it takes integrity and strength.  this is what saturn has to offer us right now.

keep this in mind this week as things get intense.  stay grounded and focused- and you can move through any obstacle in your way!
