Guest guest Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Life's Saturn Moments! Dear Friends: Was reflecting this morning on the most recent Saturn period where the Moon was going through Virgo, which just happened to be 3 houses away from Saturn in Cancer. Even though the Moon was Waxing, the normal relief that comes from that, was much diminished by that Saturn 3rd House aspect. So, I thought you might like a few thoughts about Saturn “moments”. Sincerely, Mark Kincaid Saturn Moments! Saturn teaches us so many things. This may be why Saturn is often called the great Lesson Giver! There are in fact many Saturn moments that will be good to keep in mind. #1 There’s the ‘Moment’ when the Moon moves through the same space in the sky each month where Saturn is! This technically is a Moon & Saturn conjunction, but all the lessons of YOUR Saturn will pop up during these 2 ½ days each month! Did you notice how you felt about a week ago when Moon was passing through Cancer, where Saturn, now, is? If you felt heavy, sad, delays, disappointments or depressed, these of course are some of Saturn’s various negative or malefic consequences. You could also have experienced some of Saturn’s wonderfully benefic qualities: Joy Peace Calmness Silence Stillness & Bliss! Unfortunately for most of us this is because we’re slightly out of tune with Saturn. Therefore during Saturn moments we tend to experience that malefic side! But, why? So, that we can see the consequences of our previous actions. We stay up 3, 4 nites in a row, and then we fall sick, when Moon & Saturn are colliding! Why? Because this is the pay back time for abusing our sleep for days in a row. It’s actually a blessing we get these Signs, only we don’t now how to read them! #2 Then, there’s the moment when the Moon moves into the 3rd House aspect from Saturn. You may be aware of this rule. Saturn influences the House that it’s in, and also the 3rd House away. Technically you count the first House as the house where Saturn is; so right now, Saturn’s in Cancer, so Cancer is #1, Leo, the next sign is #2, and Virgo the next Sign of the Zodiac, is #3! So, Saturn’s been influencing Virgo for almost 2 ½ years now! Saturn moves into Leo in a few weeks, so be prepared for that BIG shift coming up! November 1st, 2006! Okay, so these last 2 ½ days the Moon was going through Virgo where the supposed 3rd House aspect of Saturn was going on. When you watch the Moon long enough you’ll begin to experience these subtle shifts. I remember the very first time I experienced this. I’d been noticing how heavy and rough I felt emotionally as the Moon went through the Sign where Saturn was. I think it was in Pisces, some 12-14 years ago, now, but I noticed “wow, this is amazing, you can feel the Saturn influence!” I also noticed how much better I felt when Saturn moved into the next sign, Aries! I felt relief, and all the negative signs of Saturn stopped! So, of course I felt like I was in the clear for a month! Then the Moon slipped into the 3rd house away, which would have been Taurus. I, in fact, was looking forward to these 2 ½ days because the Moon’s sooo happy in Exalted Taurus. Unfortunately I hadn’t taken into account the Saturn 3rd House aspect. And then, boom, without even realizing it, I experienced all those familiar heavy negative qualities of Saturn came back! I was confused, and couldn’t figure out why I was feeling so rough, till I remembered. “Oh, my God, this is that Saturn 3rd House aspect!” I never forgot it again! Hehe #3 The next " Moment " of Saturn is the 7th House aspect! In fact every planet aspects 7 houses away. But, when you watch how your “feel”, (sign of the Moon!) as the Moon’s 7 houses away from Saturn, again you’re likely to “feel” that Saturn quality again! Right now, Saturn’s finishing Cancer, so in a few days, after Libra, Scorpio, & Sagittarius, the Moon will plunge into Capricorn where that will be the 7 houses away from Saturn/Cancer. See, if you can’t feel it in your own experience. Personally, this one’s not as heavy as the other 2, but that’s just me. #4 Finally, there’s the 10th House aspect of Saturn. So, Saturn’s in Cancer, Capricorn is 7 houses away, and therefore Aries will be that 10th House aspect. This month watch those days of Moon going through Aries. See, if you feel that malefic or benefic quality of your Saturn! #5 Then, there are Saturn Dasa periods. There’s the 19 years of Saturn Maha Dasa. Oh, my God, can you imagine 19 years of ‘that’! Well, I’m still in Saturn Maha Dasa, and boy has it been a lesson! Hehe Then, there’s the Saturn Antadasa period which tends to last only 3 years. And then, there’s the Saturn Bhukti or smallest dasa lasting about 1-3 months. In each of these periods, people feel the undeniable, unique Saturn qualities. And, if Saturn’s acting malefically in your chart, then these periods are traditionally predicted to represent the Cosmic pay back periods like a small 2 ½ days! #6 Finally, there are the Saturn Transits. There are (1) the periods when Saturn is moving through all the various Houses and Signs in your chart. If you have an Aries rising, (#1Sign), then Saturn in Cancer would be influencing your 4th House now and over the last 2 years. That transit will be very different then when Saturn went through Capricorn or Aquarius, its Own Signs, about 15 years ago! So, there’s the effect of Saturn in a Sign and in a House. Saturn in Cancer, by the way has been a very rough transit for people emotionally the last few years. This is because Cancer represents the Heart, and Home of the Moon, and because Saturn and Moon generally don’t like being in the same place, then this tends to be one of those malefic Saturn periods. #7 Finally, finally, then, there’s the dreaded Sade Sat period which is also a Transit, but a fairly unique period surrounding where the Moon is in your birth chart. If you Moon’s in Gemini, Cancer or Leo on the day of your birth, then Saturn/Cancer, right now, would be in Sade Sat! Sade Sat, or influence of Saturn upon one’s Moon, occurs every 30 years, when Saturn is found moving through the Signs, either right before one’s Moon, in the same sign as one’s birth Moon, or on the other side of that birth Moon. So, Saturn is in Cancer right now. That means if you had your birth Moon in either Gemini, Cancer, or Leo; Saturn would be in either the Sign before, or in or after your Birth Moon! This for many people is the harshest of the Saturn moments. This is because Saturn moves through where the Moon is in your heart and Physiology. That transit, then, has sometimes the most intense, and purifying Saturn influences of them all. So, there you have it all the Saturn moments of life! Whew! Exhausting! Imagine how freaked out I was when I first went into my Saturn Maha Dasa in 1991, and everything I held dear to me got lost! I had, boy I love to say that: “I HAD”, my Saturn in the 12th house, in my birth chart. So, I wasn’t surprised that I had some financial and other kinds of losses. But, I was in no way prepared for the avalanche of Saturn grief and pain that can accompany Saturn loss. I lost all the money that I had saved for a new marriage that started the year before! Believe me; I’ll never get married right before Saturn again! Hehe Then, I lost work. I was in construction and that year I couldn’t find any work to do! I’ve talked to many people over the last few months who are unemployed and can’t for the life of them, understand why they can’t find work. I then proceeded to have one Saturn challenge after another, until a few years later my wife and I lost a baby that she was 4 months pregnant with. That, especially for my wife was the last straw! We separated, went bankrupt and then finally divorced, all within the first 5 years of my Saturn Maha dasa. You’d have thought all these were enough signs for me, but I didn’t finally get in until my Father passed away at the very end and then I through up my hands and said: “I give up!” Having studied Jyotish/Astrology for about 7 years by now, I knew where all this grief was coming from. In desperation with my hands up in the air I turned to Saturn and said: “Why me! I’ve been studying you! I thought I was in-tune with you!” Well, if you’ve ever heard God laugh at you, you’ll appreciate what happened next. He! started laughing. And he laughed and he laughed. Big belly ache laughing, rolling on the ground and it lasted for 2 or 3 minutes. If you’ve ever had God laugh at you, it gets your attention. I was started very embarrassed and after it lasted sooo long, when it finally stopped I said: (meekly by the way),…. “ehh,….okay… what should I do?” He only said 2 words, to me. “More silence………………… more……..silence….” And that, my friends was the beginning of my true appreciation and understanding of Saturn. See Saturn represents the part of life that’s eternally still! Saturn represents the eternal Being of Nature, of God, of the Absolute, Unified Field, whatever you want to call it. Saturn then, represents centered, presence of mind! If you have a “good” Saturn in your chart; maybe you were born with Saturn in Capricorn, Aquarius or Libra, you’re more likely to have any number of wonderful Saturn “positive” traits. But if you don’t, because Saturn’s nature is “THAT”, eternity of silence and stillness, He, wants you to have more of that. In fact we want to have more of that, so we come into this life, and ask Saturn to beat us up until we get it! So, that’s where we’re at. If we’ve been pushing ourselves and creating imbalance and dis-ease, then, boom! We get that unique Cosmic, Saturn pay back that shows us we’ve been neglecting our health! If you realize that Saturn, is in fact, your best friend! And, he only wants the very best for us, then you’ll have penetrated a little peep, into that great mystery which is Saturn. For all the negative or malefic experiences, consequences or sides of Saturn; Saturn itself is about finding the most glorious bliss of life! The very next time you’re feeling rough, or out of sorts, tired, irritable or confused; instead of trying to understand this, just make a little Saturn experiment! Lie down! Take a Walk! Meditate… Sleep, rest, recuperate and rejuvenate! Do any number of restful, healing or rejuvenating things and see if you don’t immediately feel better! For every, literal Saturn pain or negative that we can go through, there is an opposite SOLUTION, that will heal, release or purify that Saturn negative! When you’ve turned that around, until all of that negative or malefic Saturn “SIGN”, goes away then you will have achieved a great Saturn Wisdom, in this life! Because I had fallen so low, I only had up to go! Now, looking back, I realize as bad as it was, it could have gotten worse! I could have gotten deathly sick. I could have lost more loved ones. All manners of tragedies and losses can happen in this World! Unfortunately very few know the deep, spiritual purpose of Loss, Pain, Grief or Death! I like to say: “There are 3 D’s of Saturn!” Saturn represents dis-ease, disease and death! If you get out of balance, you slip into dis-ease. If you ignore the message and keep straining or picking up stress; then dis-ease slips into disease. If you still don’t hear and or adjust, then disease slips into Death! But, if you instead go for the 3 B’s! Balance, balance and balance! If you’re in dis-ease, or even have a disease; heck, even if you’re close to death! You still can go for more balance. The very moment you achieve even an inkling of inner or outer balance; the Saturn grief, miraculously goes away! Of course, most of the time we feel that Saturn is doing this to us! The Truth is that we’re only doing it to ourselves. Saturn is not a person, an entity that we have to fear. Saturn represents the left hand of God Almighty that gives us the consequences of our Saturn imbalanced actions. It’s us, that chose to push too hard. It’s us, that chose to strain and pick up stress. Saturn just represents the negative and uncomfortable consequences of any actions that are done that create imbalance, dis-ease or disease. Therefore, if we’re the one’s that have created Saturn malefic pain, then we’re the only one that can cure our Saturn challenges! The very moment that we " begin " , we will feel better! Over the next month as the Sun continues going through Virgo, which is in the 3rd House aspect of Saturn in Cancer, we’ll study and learn and put into practice all the many, varied Saturn ways we can create more Saturn relief and even Happiness! We have a wonderful Saturn opportunity during this time. Now, we’re under the Saturn grip, but this is a golden opportunity to learn the true Wisdom of Saturn in our charts, and in life!
