Time to put your Saturn learnings into practice!

 

Saturn

Saturn turns direct on Sat 4 Nov 2023 at zero degrees Pisces following its recent retrograde period.

If your birthday is close to 19 Feb or this degree is significant in your chart, you’ll probably have been feeling the heavy energy of Saturn sitting on this point for the previous couple of weeks, with a further two weeks to look forward to (!).

The energy of Saturn asks us to re-evaluate the area of life it is currently contacting, to take full responsibility for ourselves and our actions, and to cut away any dead wood – which ultimately stimulates new growth.

It is also very good at demanding that we do a reality check!

What have you learned about social responsibility, self-discipline and material reality over the last five months? Whatever you’ve learned during that time of Saturn retro – this is what we’re being asked to put into practice now over the next seven months as Saturn moves forward once again.

Here’s more on Saturn in Pisces and what it means for the environment, the ecological disasters happening and of course the climate emergency.

Maritime disasters – the heavens conspire?

June 24, 2023 by

TitanicMaritime disasters – the heavens conspire?

 

You can’t have missed the number of disasters at sea that have happened recently.  The word ‘dis-aster’ literally means bad-star, ill fortune, and there seems to have been plenty of that around in the past week or so.

First was the refugee boat that sank off the coast of Greece with hundreds of people on board, including women and children trapped below decks.  It’s not yet known how many have died, and it’s being described as one of the worst sea disasters in the Mediterranean.

Then there was the Titan submersible, on a tourist trip to the similarly ill-fated Titanic, an example of fate playing cruel tricks.

And most recently, refugee boats sinking near the Portuguese coast and the Canary Islands.

 

Astrologically, what’s going on?

Neptune, god of the seas and ruler of Pisces, the sign it currently occupies, is almost stationary.   It is about to go retrograde close to the fixed star Scheat which is associated with drowning, imprisonment, and extreme misfortune.  In both the Greek refugee tragedy and the Titan submersible, there are themes of imprisonment as well as drowning.

Scheat was strongly configured in the launch of the Titanic, so here’s one of the strange links of Fate that bound the Titan submersible and the “unsinkable” Titanic.

The Greek refugee disaster was on 14 June, the Titan lost contact on 18 June. The Sun, acting as a timing device, has been squaring that stationary Neptune on Scheat this past week, exact on 19 June, while Saturn, the grim reaper, also in Pisces, turned retro on 18 June, adding his voice to the theme of death by water.

Neptune will be around that degree of Scheat for the next few years, so maritime disasters are likely to feature heavily in the news cycles, especially with the huge migrant and refugee crises unfolding.  Be extra cautious if you’re planning a sea voyage!

Saturn goes retro on the New Moon

June 12, 2023 by

Saturn goes retro on the New Moon

Time to review how you’ve structured your life

 

Saturn

Saturn slows to a halt and turns retrograde at 7 Pisces on Sun 18 June 2023, just before the New Moon in Gemini.

Saturn retrograde encourages us to review the recent past and assess our ability to take full responsibility for our actions.  This is a good time to look at the ways we limit ourselves, and bring our fears to the conscious light of day.  This is also a good time to review our ability to say ’No’ and ensure that we can maintain healthy boundaries in all areas of our lives.  This Saturn retrograde period lasts until 4 Nov 2023.

If your birthday falls around 26 Feb, this is likely to be a time of increased responsibility for you, as you enter a new phase of maturity and step into a place of personal authority.  Your workload may increase at this time – if you accept this extra responsibility, this can be a time of success and achievement.  Saturn is a planet where we truly reap what we sow – if you’ve put in the hard work, this is very likely to be a time of achievement.  However, if you’ve cut corners along the way, this is a time when you’re likely to come unstuck and this can lead to feelings of failure.

If you have planets close to 7 Pisces (within a degree either side) you are being asked to take on a more mature approach to that part of your life, which will no doubt involve some re-evaluation.

For everyone – use the Saturn retro period productively to review the way you’ve structured your life. Make any necessary changes now, especially around boundaries and self-discipline.

Time to ‘fess up – more on Saturn in Pisces

March 8, 2023 by

Time to ‘fess up – more on Saturn in Pisces

 

Saturn

OK I have a confession – I’m an eternal optimist.  Some would say over-optimistic.  It’s all that Fire in my chart!

 

I know that when I wrote my first blog about Saturn moving into Pisces, I was erring on the side of generosity, and let’s face it, optimism.  After all, Saturn gets a really bad press and it’s not always gloom and doom, it’s capable of bringing the most amazing benefits.

 

So when I wrote about Saturn in Pisces bringing new opportunities for governments to enforce strong boundaries around our oceans and waterways – and finally saying NO to all the appalling practices such as dumping raw sewage in rivers (especially UK) and toxic and/or radioactive chemicals into our waterways and oceans (name anywhere you like), I was coming from that place of optimism.  I praised Tanya Plibersek, Australia’s Environment Minister for recently saying No to a proposed coal mine development as it would be too much of a threat to the Great Barrier Reef.  This was of course wonderful, but sadly it turned out to be a one-off (with much fanfare), a bit of window-dressing to make it look like this Government was being effective in this regard.

 

The Australian government has since passed ALL the other 116 coal-mines and fracking operations that were awaiting approval – late on a Friday afternoon, which smacks of trying to bury the news and hoping no-one would notice.  When I discovered this sleight-of-hand, I was heart-sick and absolutely appalled at the devastation that would follow.

 

So my apologies to you for being WAY too over-optimistic on that score.  The truth is – the potential was there – Astrology always speaks to us about potential – but somehow at the collective level, or more accurately at the government level here in Australia, they didn’t step up and fulfill the cosmic opportunity presented to them.

 

Part of my optimism is my belief in people, that they will wake up sufficiently to actualise the potential presented to them at any given moment.  I guess it’s like holding a client in “unconditional positive regard”, a mainstay of professional counselling practice.  I hold out hope, until it’s obvious that the time for hope is over.

 

However there is some good news.  In that blog, I also spoke about Ecocide, and the growing movement to make Ecocide a crime under International Law.

 

OceanVery recently, with Saturn at the very last degree of Aquarius, about to enter Pisces, the UN announced the Global Ocean Treaty, designed to protect the world’s oceans.  This has been a long time in the making, and represents a huge achievement on the part of all involved.  It seems a very fitting image for the beginning of our Saturn in Pisces journey.

 

So yes, there is hope – always! 

 

Saturn has two and a half years in Pisces to make this hope more of a reality.

Full Moon in Virgo & Saturn moves into Pisces 2023

March 3, 2023 by

Full Moon in Virgo & Saturn moves into Pisces

 

The Full Moon in Virgo on Tues 7 March is the Lenten Moon, the last Full Moon before Easter, so called because it falls during the Christian fasting period known as Lent.

The Full Moon in Virgo brings into focus your need for order and purity. Virgo is a very analytical sign, and as an Earth sign it is analytical in a practical way, trying to improve situations (and even people!) in its search for perfection.

The Virgo Full Moon invites you to reconcile Virgo’s attention to detail with the holistic vision of Pisces, bringing into balance the microcosm (Virgo) and the macrocosm (Pisces).

Check your birth chart to see which house is under the spotlight at 16 degrees Virgo.  The Full Moon is exact at 10.40pm Queensland time (AEST).

**

SaturnOn the same day as the Full Moon Tues 7 March, just under an hour later, Saturn moves into Pisces.

Saturn brings structure, boundaries and frameworks wherever it is placed.  There’s often a feeling of taking stock of something that has gone on long enough, perhaps too long.  Saturn comes along and says ‘It’s time!’

It’s time to make those (perhaps long overdue) changes.  We can recognise this in our private lives when a Saturn transit comes along and contacts personal planets.  Here, as Saturn changes signs and finds a new way of expressing itself, its effects will be felt at the collective level.

In your personal life, Saturn represents your ability to say No, creating an appropriate boundary. 

OceanAt the collective level, Saturn in Pisces brings a new opportunity for governments to enforce strong boundaries – saying NO to all the appalling practices such as dumping raw sewage in rivers (UK) and toxic chemicals into our waterways and oceans.  The ocean is not a garbage tip!  In Australia, the Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has recently said No to a proposed coal mine development as it would be too much of a threat to the Great Barrier Reef.  Hopefully we’ll see many more such permits refused on grounds of ecocide.

The potential for Saturn in Pisces to crack down on environmental toxins could also apply to fracking. Neptune the ruler of Pisces is associated with gases as well as with toxins.  Fracking certainly has a hugely detrimental effect on the water supply wherever it’s carried out.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if this transit of Saturn through Pisces saw life-destroying chemicals effectively banned? Chemicals such as glyphosate – its insidious, deadly effect on all life forms (including humans) is because it’s water-soluble and therefore gets into everything, including the water table.  Sounds like a good candidate for Saturn in Pisces!  Then there are the neonicotinoids which are killing massive populations of bees and other insects, many of them pollinators on whom the whole food supply chain depends.

Stop EcocideThere has been a growing movement for many years now to make Ecocide a crime under International Law.  The European Law Institute (ELI) has recently published its report on Ecocide, providing the framework for legislation in Europe.  The movement is gathering momentum in other countries too.   Saturn has two and a half years in Pisces to make this a reality!

Saturn in Pisces could also bring a stricter approach to corruption at the collective (government/business) level – goodness knows there’s plenty of it about.  Neptune can be associated with deception, anything from sleight of hand to full-blown embezzlement, bribery and money laundering.  It’s well-known how large corporations lobby and influence government policy (and even effectively purchase government contracts through party donations) all over the world.  It’s time for some clear and strong boundaries in this whole area as well.

At a personal level, the effects of Saturn in Pisces will depend to quite a large extent on what planets and houses it’s transiting in your chart.  In general terms though, Saturn in Pisces is a wonderful opportunity to manifest (Saturn) your dreams (Pisces), and get disciplined (Saturn) about your spiritual practices or artistic pursuits (Pisces).  You could also enlist the help of Saturn in Pisces to kick any addictive tendencies you may have!

If you have Saturn in Pisces in your birth chart, you’ll be coming up to your first or second (or possibly even third) Saturn Return, a significant rite of passage – a good time to book in for a reading with me! 

Saturn will be in Pisces for the next two years until the end of May 2025.
