Saturn is

Winter

Part 2

 

Dear

Friends:

 

A couple of weeks ago I wrote this article on Saturn called

“Saturn is Winter”. As it turns

out, it’s quite helpful to realize that many of the symbolisms of

Winter are very similar to the symbolisms of Saturn.

And where we may not be able to understand why we’re being

Saturn delayed, frustrated or disappointed; when these same things happen

to us in the Winter time, we can at least wrap our brain around it because

we understand that this is part of Winter.

A couple of years ago I realized that my historical, life-long

dislike of Winter was probably due to my so-called challenged Saturn in

the 12th House. But, because

I’d already noticed much self-improvement as to my Saturn by

learning some of it’s many qualities and characteristics I also

realized that Saturn was Winter.

So, one of my next Saturn remedies was to learn to appreciate and

embrace the Winter. When we realize that

Winter has an intrinsic purpose to lay the ground for the entire upcoming

Spring and Summer, then we can appreciate more deeply it’s innate

role in life.

In that same way, we should appreciate our Saturn moments. They are the Winter times for us. The confusing part, of course, is that they come at

many uncharacteristic times. In fact, any

Saturn Transit or Dasa is likely to catch us by surprise because

we’re not used to it, unlike Winter.

Winter comes at the same time, generally each year, and though we

may not like it either, at least we know there’s not much we can do

about it! This of course, is the first rule of

thumb regarding Saturn. Like the Winter, we

need to accept it’s inherent nobility and timing. Understanding intellectually, also, allows us to

accept this naturally winter like time.

These are some of the things we talked about last time. Today, I thought it might be helpful to realize

we’re again, right now, in another important Saturn time. Not only are we in the Northern Hemisphere period

of Saturn Winter, but we’re also in a more intense Saturn moment

because of Saturn having recently gone Retrograde.

 

The Saturn

Moment

Of Now!

 

So, let’s review the different aspects and features of this

slightly unusual and unique Saturn period that we’re now

in.

 

#1 Sun in

Capricorn

&

Aquarius

 

Every year the Sun and all the inner planets move through the

‘signs’ of Saturn. Capricorn and

Aquarius are the two signs that Saturn rules.

So, each year when the Sun and Venus and Mercury move through them,

we’re apt to be prone to experiencing some of Saturn’s

lessons.

 

#2 Saturn’s

Retrograde

 

Many people notice that the Retrograde motion of any of the planets

is an important transit time. In the case of

Mercury all kinds of weird and undesirable intellectual and communicative

glitches happen during Mercury’s retrograde.

So, we shouldn’t be surprised that ever since Saturn began

going backward on December 6th of 2006.

 

At the time Saturn was in Leo, having spent the last 2 ½

years or so in Cancer. For those of you who

thought you’d seen the end of this dramatic Saturn time, get ready

for another Saturn in Cancer moment.

 

Right now, Saturn’s at the 28th degree of Cancer

and plans to continue being Retrograde until April 20th when it

does direct. On that day Saturn will be at the

24th degree of Cancer. Then, it

will begin the typically slow climb back out of Cancer into Leo

again.

Saturn will finally leave Cancer on July 15th, 2007!

So, if you’ve noticed feeling more uncharacteristically

delayed and disappointed since Saturn started going Retrograde, then take

heart that this is the reason!

 

#3 Saturn’s

in Cancer

Again

 

The final Saturn flavor of this moment. now is because

Saturn’s back in Cancer. For many people

this last transit of Saturn through Cancer was bad enough. Now, that flavor has been extended for a few more

months. Saturn in Cancer ‘flavor’

has a unique meaning to bring more Saturn silence into the very nature of

the Cancer, Moon mind.

Emotions and fine feeling level was often rough and unsettled

during these last few years. That

‘quality’ came back the moment that Saturn started back into

Cancer.

 

With each Saturn meaning or symbolism there’s an inherent

meaning for each one of us. Those, who are

strong, positive or have Benefic Saturn’s in the birth chart; Saturn

can be a glorious transit, dasa or Cosmic moment.

For the rest of us, who experience any of the typically negative or

Malefic Saturn experiences, knowing that there will be these durations of

Saturn ness; can be extremely helpful.

 

Life is a

River

 

Life is like a stream! Each day

we’re paddeling across the river and one day the water is smooth and

easy. Another day the rapids are rough and

unforgiving. All the details of our

‘crossing’ depends on 3 primary aspects of our

Astrology.

#1 we’re starting on a part of the river that has its own

character, terrain, rocks and rapids. These

characteristics of the river and bank represent our Chart’s. Then, there’s the flavor of our Dasas, which

represent how we feel that day. This point of

the river is the same, but how we feel on the inside is different

depending upon what Dasa period we’re experiencing.

Then, there’s the flavor of the weather upon us and the

water, coming to us from the Sun, Moon and weather.

This too effects the water, crossing and ourselves.

 

We’re in one such big Saturn moment now.

 

Over the next 45 days of Sun in Capricorn and Aquarius this will be

a great time to focus on all the lessons and remedies of

Saturn!

 

Join me in reflecting upon Saturn during this ‘Saturn is

Winter’ moment.

 

Those who live in the Southern Hemisphere where Spring or Summer

instead of Winter is your weather, I’d love to hear from you

too.

 

Saturn in general is different for Southern Hemisphere people. It’ll be fascinating hearing how you

experience this Saturn time, as well.
