Dear Cosmic Friends in Our Humanity!
WE are the People.
ALL of us matter – equally.
We all breathe the same AIR.
Time for Social & Societal Responsibility in an Interdependent World.
Time to step fully into & show up with our Freedom – despite….
yes, SATURN presents challenges which turn into stepping stones.
Especially – one of SATURN’s all-time fave TT (Teaching Tools): F.E.A.R.
Which typically leads to disproportionate responses / reactions.
That’s also where SATURN’s simple / simplicity motto comes in:
Less is More.
Easier said than done…!?
Well, that’s SATURNian too – since it takes resolve, consistent practice, and resilience – SATURN is the Cosmic Coach after all.
In the AQ World that translates into: Societal Fears evoked and sanctioned by science(?) and otherwise perceived authority.
With SATURN now freshly in AQ:
Where’s / what’s Freedom in the face of F.E.A.R.?
When fear strikes (well, can be used for so many primal emotions and obsessive thoughts) – ask yourself:
Is this… true?
How do I know it’s true?
Who would I be without this ‘truth’?
Who’s the True Me?
Let’s use all our tools to transform F.E.A.R. into L*O*V*E
Perfect Times for This. We got This!
Let’s glean cosmic insights, astro-archetypal evidence, and come from a curious & detached perspective.
Is this the end of Society as we know it?
As it goes with AQ – the discussion has only just begun, and all of our bright & free / forward / out of the box thinking minds from a broad spectrum of Humanity (AQ), grounded in maturity and responsibility (CAP, where SATURN’s been in the last 2+ years) need to come together to preserve and live in Freedom (SATURN in AQ), as we co-innovate Community and perhaps even Society.
SATURN, the Archetype of the INNER ELDER / TEACHER / SAGE has just made a move, into AQ – for a testing / trial(!) time, March 21 – July 1, 2020, before ‘getting unfinished business’ at the end of CAP done in the Summer & Fall.
Then it’ll fully enter AQ on Dec 16 Then it’ll fully enter AQ on Dec 16 to be met by JUPITER on Dec 21(!).
Together, they’ll start a new 20-year socio-political-economical cycle at 1º AQ, based on social justice & community building.
The last one that started in May 2000 in TAU is ending this year – and we exhausted that one, as consumerism, materialism, capitalism & uber production with way too much waste has suffocated Mother Earth.
With SATURN in CAP since Dec 20, 2017 we were challenged to grow up, be more fully on purpose (in our own responsibility), and not waste anymore precious time and resources.
This year, as this period is ending it’s also a good time to take stock / do an inventory & review of Winter 2017 / 18 – Winter 2019 / 20:
- How have you lived up to being in your integrity? Give yourself credit for showing up in it in scenarios that were challenging / a test and initiation / prototype to do it again in similar situations.
- Have you simplified your life by saying NO to projects & people as needed, and are you good with the effects?
- Have you put energy into what matters most to you?
- How has this period (maybe through challenges you wouldn’t have ‘chosen’ but could see in hindsight what their purpose was) brought out your best?
- What’s with respect for others as for yourself? Is there a reflection? P.S. you can’t change people, just yourself (hard enough that-is, ha-ha).
- Have you been strengthening your Roots? Your own rootedness here on Planet Earth, in your body, and your connection with ancestral roots? Yep, and always good to eat root vegetables, and sit by a tree. I mean it.
- How’s your connection with your biological and Spirit Elders – what has changed in the last 2 years?
- How has your Inner Elder come out?
Checking in would make for a good project in the present home bound mode many of us find ourselves in – along with taking inventory of your physical environment, Yay to Spring clearing and re-organizing.
Which I find very therapeutic, and we’re in creative abundance / transformation mode rather than in the recent partly artificial stressful scarcity / scare-city mode.
From this hopefully very GROUNDED & integral place we can move better into SATURN in AQ where bringing our Best to Community becomes super important.

Inventory can lead to re-inventing. And co-innovating.
Which takes us to AQ.
Yes, here’s where the challenge and opportunity in this global virus scenario lays: A crisis can lead to Social Leaps (very apropos AQ).
Well, IF Humanity collaborates and co-innovates (which we’re already doing – yet it becomes ever so important and timely), rather than repairing & attempting to recreate / reinstate the old / expired and dysfunctional model.
Ringed SATURN represents the obstacles and challenges that seem to prevent us from something, yet which the Human Spirit (esp. in AQ) can rise beyond, which starts with seeing them for what they really are.
AQ used to be ruled by SATURN (representing social order and status / one’s place in society) until URANUS was discovered in 1781 – right between the American (1776) and French (1789) Revolutions. Equality & Freedom for ALL!
The Awakener Archetype Planet URANUS made its initial appearance to Humanity at a time when the Human Spirit was liberating & revolutionizing societies.
It represents paradigm shifts, breakthroughs, breaking free from the (outer and inner) ‘Old Regime’, and Being FREE as a Human among all other Spiritual Beings in Embodied Form.
Ultimately, as spiritual teacher Krishnamurti said: Freedom without an opposite (otherwise it’s not true freedom!).
While SATURN – presently ever so obviously – apparently restricts and brings obstacles to Aquarian Freedom, let’s bring another ancient & timeless paradigm shifter into the picture to make clear what we might not see:
Ganesha – Elephant headed Hindu god, known as the ‘Remover of Obstacles’ on the path, and Guru that takes us from the darkness (of not seeing what the obstacles is / was) to the Light.
Elephant headed Ganesh, known as the ‘Remover of Obstacles on the Path’ is buddies with SATURN, and can be invoked to bring the (actual) obstacles to the light, whatever they may be, and show a path to overcome or release them.
A friend from Germany wrote to me yesterday, saying,
“Nature would be so beautiful now, if there wasn’t the Dark Cloud hanging over everything.”
Sums up the societal atmosphere.
The dark invisible cloud – affecting humanity (very much apropos SATURN in airy AQ which rules clouds and vapours…):
The cloud of the virus, and even more so, the cloud of fear.
For starters – to come from a good foundation in socially responsible action:
Let’s unmask(!) debilitating / paralyzing / obsessive fear first.
It comes in so many disguises, and typically pretends to protect.
Humanity (AQ) is these weeks (months?) of uncertainty understandably gripped by fear. Yet, that’s SATURN’s low vibration, which is ironically / obviously negatively impacting our immune system – also a SATURN function.
Not only is ‘ordinary human life’ out of control / normal functioning.
Fear leads to separation (and vice versa – all SATURNian) – from one another, from the Universe, and from our strong vibrant core. The resulting vulnerable human state can be exploited and manipulated (e.g. into polarization and blame agendas, even demonizing ‘the other’, with the next level of a call for an externalized authority to ‘do something’).
Bottom line, when we’re in fear, isolation, and separation, we can be so much more easily controlled (externally and by internal ‘demons’).
SO important to check in in that regard, these isolating times.
While socializing is regulating our minds and emotions.
We’re social animals.
Not to say there shouldn’t be any protective measures from responsible governmental institutions.
Certainly YES to effective and intelligent / common sense protection of those people who are vulnerable – that’s what the social contract and our Humanity call from us.
Yet i.m.o. the governments shouldn’t overdo it in a way that an initially appropriate response turns into a massive ‘War on Virus’ ‘overkill’ operation (MARS – JUPITER – PLUTO in CAP – the activation culminated last weekend)
Plus: JUPITER will align 3 times with PLUTO end of CAP this year, already on Apr 4, again June 29 and Nov 12).
The BIG operation has the potential to cause more damage than good – to all of humanity and our social systems (AQ) if executive power (PLUTO in CAP) isn’t used wisely.
On a personal / human level (AQ) I’m thinking in terms of overdoing it of the scenario where now extensive numbers of people want to be COVID-19 tested. Again, important – but the purpose needs to be kept in perspective. Many if not most of the testees (SATURN) not because they have symptoms but out of fear – “to be on the safe side” – with the immediate effect of completely overwhelming the medical infrastructure (CAP) – leaving people stranded who’d really need it.
And hey, in case those peeps were tested ‘positive’ – assuming the effectiveness of the test (SATURN) – (do your research) – they’d have to self quarantine. If it was negative they needed to test again and again – until they’d be ‘positive’?
Back to the uncertainty.
A great example (w/o giving medical advice, just applying common sense and astro-archetypal reasoning) where i.m.o. SATURN’s motto Less is More comes in.
And where the ‘too much’ is primarily fear rather than facts based.
I’m also personally suspicious of the effects and even effectiveness (SATURN) of potential excessive mandatory testing (SATURN). Well – check it out yourself.
With this situation ‘evolving’ – a PLUTO thing – it’s super important now to stay in an empowered (PLUTO) / higher vibrational level.
Rather than giving all the authority to The Test and those in charge (SATURN – PLUTO), and I believe that’s also socially responsible.
The Golden Rule comes handy:
When it comes to contagiousness for vulnerable people – if you were vulnerable how would you like others to behave toward you? Do that. And if you are considering yourself vulnerable to infection please do what you need to to protect yourself, without panicking – stay grounded and feed yourself with joy and love and immune boosters!
Let the light of inner spiritual wisdom remove the obstacles – whichever they may be.
Jai Ganesh!
Anahata Yantra – Symbol for the Heart Chakra
Just felt called to consult with Louise Hay’s evergreen reference book Heal Your Body – now check this out! Hope it helps for awareness and prevention through transformation.
“Respiratory Ailments
Probable underlying theme: Fear of taking in Life fully.
Transformation / Affirmation: I am safe. I love my life.”
“Coughs
Probable underlying theme: A desire to bark at the world. See me! Listen to me!
Transformation / Affirmation: I am noticed and appreciated in the most positive ways. I am loved.”
“Influenza
Probable underlying theme: Response to mass negativity and beliefs. Fear. Belief in statistics(!).
Transformation / Affirmation: I am beyond group beliefs or the calendar. I’m free from all congestion and influence.”
Oh, and Lungs are related to the Heart Chakra.
Its Colour is Green. The Element is AIR. The Planet is VENUS.
Cultivating LOVE and being in the green lands of Nature is SO good for us.
Plus, the Lungs are also related to the Metal Element – we’re in the Chinese Year of the Yang Metal Rat, until Feb 11, 2021.
A new 12-year Animal Cycle has started with the Rat. And SATURN in early AQ will be on China’s AC.
Metal is also associated with the respiratory system & lungs, and with grief.
We’ve seen so much focus on both the organs and metal as in: hospitals / equipment, money being made by big pharma while lots of ‘ordinary people’ are in deep distress through the crisis and its measures and effects.
Loved ones can’t be seen in hospitals or care homes, and meetings happen online / tech / metal supported (even voices sound metallic online).
A real deep grieving for – whatever comes up and is real for each of us, and perhaps collectively – would be called for, and could contribute to release and healing.
That’s where also CHIRON & LILITH, together with the New Moon in ARIES tomorrow come in.
Wild Nature and our Inner Wild Nature is our Teacher & Healer.
Spring is Here!

Voila, here is the Chart of SATURN entering AQUARIUS:
As you see, it’s quite a celestial concentration end of CAP into AQ, also in PISCES and early ARIES.
Only half of the Zodiac – from early CAP to early CAN is occupied / and the chart is sliced into occupied and empty parts of the Zodiac by the Nodal axis. And NO Planet is presently (until Apr 25) retro. Lots of momentum – in certain areas.
We’ve obviously experiencing a huge deal of that late CAP intensity of governmental / infrastructural impact.
Now, there’s a gradual trend out of CAP into AQ, initiated by SATURN, and followed by MARS (on March 30), passing SATURN on the 31st.
We could see social / societal movements, incl, erratic conflicts, as MARS in the sign of URANUS will square URANUS on Apr 7 – day of the LIBRA – ARIES Full Moon. Let’s help funnel the energy into liberating outlets of energy.
SATURN will go into square with URANUS next year… we’re not quite there yet but precursors can show up in May when SATURN stations at almost 2º AQ – the furthest it goes this year:
A conflict between embodying Freedom and social / societal control / regulation / reglementation / responsibility.
And disruptive effects on the economy having dire / challenging consequences for society / humanity.
Sooo much PISCES energy we’ve been exposed to lately, incl. MERCURY retro (MERCURY super long & still in PI until Apr 10!), and SUN / NEPTUNE. Being overwhelmed, influenced / influeanza’d and feeling like going under, esp. media wise? Good to not get sucked in and brain washed, and do on-going ‘hygiene’ – on all levels, incl mental-emotional.
And then there’s the ARIES New Moon with CHIRON & LILITH coming up on March 24!
Taking the Medicine of Nature and our inner ‘wild’ authentic Nature. And show up always a-new, as Spring.
More about this in the next ASTRO~News blog post. Stay tuned.
URANUS Rules AQUARIUS Painting by Johfra Bosschart – Just as all the blossoms are now opening, we’re all equally growing toward the Light and infused by cosmic energy / Prana / Life Force.
An important motto for SATURN in AQ:
We the People…!
Yes, we’re all breathing the same AIR, receiving the same prana, and are in this together. Collaboration and co-innovation on all levels and across / beyond boundaries is now called for.
I don’t believe the crisis can be ultimately solved from the top-down (a la CAP) – that only goes so far, and is essentially of the old consciousness – but through collaboration of people in society (AQ).
Let’s keep our connections going – in co-creative & co-innovative AQ ways -, maybe via technology, psychic connection, distance walks.
‘Social distancing’ is so apropos SATURN in AQ – yet leading to random encounters with friends or ‘strangers’ (had a few of those in the park the other day, and it was delightful how the ‘ice broke’ and we talked rather than being all ‘zipped-up’).
And rather than just looking at / be flattened by the excessive media coverage about the symptom and ever more fear / panic responses let’s also investigate the systemic (very AQ) background.
Many voices need to be heard, even ‘far out’ / ‘crazy’ ones. True egalitarian collaboration gives everyone (beyond status, position, and hierarchy a la CAP) an equal chance for input.
SATURN will hold us accountable to be consistent with AQ principles.
Here’s a hypothesis / question that popped up in my brain lab:
Is there a connection between the rolling out of 5G over the last months and the virus symptoms?
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the recent / on-going massive 5G technology implementation affected the immune system of humans adversely. Are we / are those ‘in charge’ and the governments who are using their powers to not only roll out 5G but also super drastic measures to combat the virus missing the obvious?
It’s a scandal that 5G itself has NOT been tested for safety before installing it all over the World.
Well, and guess where the 5G ‘pilot roll-out’ has been strongest? China (apparently Wuhan was one of the first cities), South Korea, UK, Germany, the U.S. Check this article from Sept 2019(!). Could be mere coincidence…
And hey, crazy side-effect(?):
Now as so many people are home bound and restricted from work and socializing in public the only way to connect with others is via technology – hence, causing spikes in the usage of the networks, and likely a call for 5G to ‘handle it’.
Whether the hypothesis holds or not, we need to protect ourselves against the effects of wireless technology!
Esp since SATURN in AQ rules networks and technology. It’s ‘job’ is to heed warnings, and show cause & effect / consequences over time.
Less is More.
Dangers & Directions with SATURN in AQ
Dangers:
- Systemic shut-down that’s hard to recover from.
- Technocracy. Surveillance via giving data & authority to technology and to who’s behind it.
- Societal control by an elite.
- ‘Dark cloud’ over Humanity.
- Fear of flying – literally and symbolically.
- Restrictions of gatherings (social / communal, spiritual / religious, political) with devastating effects on the social fabric, and on basic human freedom.
- Alienation and personal isolation, with mental health consequences.
- Human Rights violations, esp. when it comes to Freedom.
- Crisis can bring out the worst (lowest vibration) in Humanity.
Directions:
- Freedom and intrinsic Authority in Humanity.
- Pulling together in conscious group effort / collaboration / coordination of a diversity of faculties.
- Not just social responsibilities in our circles of activity / influence, but societal responsibilities as citizens.
- Community leaders and social influencers to show up and lead by example.
- Light Leaders to step up and help Humanity to awaken.
- Working with light & crystal energy.
- Clearing attachments to the mental collective field.
- Responsibly experimenting with free thinking alternatives.
- United we stand!
- Declaration of Sovereignty.
- Co-innovation.
- Crisis can bring out our Best.
SATURN in AQ historically
SATURN has a 29-year cycle (approx one human generation), and hasn’t been in AQ since Feb 1991 – Jan 1994.
A time of huge societal changes and rebuilding, esp. after the Berlin / East German Wall came down, with a domino effect on Eastern European Communist regimes…
I was stunned to find out the other day that A. Huxley’s dystopian novel Brave New World was released in 1932(!) when SATURN had just entered AQ (and just before Hitler was put into power in Jan 1933). Huxley died in Nov 1963 – on the same DAY as JFK(!) – yes, when SATURN in its 29-year cycle had again just entered AQ (1962 – 1964).
History comes in patterns and offers lessons (both SATURN themes).
Only briefly here, for the ‘most recent’ SATURN in AQ phases / starts.
So much more could be said and explored – leaving that to your memory / investigation.
* March – Aug 1932, and Dec 1932 – Feb 1935
Check out the grim timeline of 1933, esp. Hitler’s and the Nazi’s gradual take-over in Germany and their societal polarization & manipulation, when SATURN was freshly in AQUARIUS (March – Aug 1932 and Dec 1932 – Feb 1935).
Well, and years of Depression followed in the 1930’s besides Nazi Totalitarianism / Tyranny.
* Jan 1962 – March 1964, and Sept – Dec 1964
Starting in 1962 with the extension of the U.S. embargo towards Cuba, and culminating in the Cuban Missile Crisis in Oct when the World held its breath – a wrong leadership (SATURN) decision could have been detrimental for all of Humanity (AQ). Also that year apropos AQ: Colonial Independence of Algeria, Rwanda, Burundi, Yemen, Malaysia, Jamaica, Trinidad. And Nelson Mandela was incarcerated. Well, and 1963, J.F. Kennedy was assassinated.
* Feb 1991 – Jan 1994
Overall SATURN challenge: Rebuilding of Eastern Europe (and Reunification of Germany), after the Berlin Wall fell & Eastern European Communism disintegrated (SATURN – URANUS – NEPTUNE in CAP 1989 – 1990).
The timeline of SATURN in AQ started in 1991 with the brutal Civil War in former Yugoslavia between Croats & Serbs.
Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldavia, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan all declare independence from the former Soviet Union. Communist Party activities are formally suspended, the Warsaw Pact is dissolved, and the Soviet Union seizes to exist.
There seems to be a common thread re:
Communism, Socialism, ‘National’ Socialism (as the Nazi party called itself) vs Freedom of the People.
Pls note that both the ‘People’s Republic’ of China (* Oct 1, 1949) and the U.S. A. (* July 4, 1776) have their MOONs in (early and late) AQ (hey, that’s also Lady Liberty…).
Protective / restrictive SATURN approaching it (first for China, 2020 / 21, then the U.S., 2022) doesn’t bode well for Freedom. Community Leadership is called for, and even System Changes are possible.
The U.S. are now also moving into their (249-year cycle) PLUTO Return (2020 – 2022 exact, has been building up).
Power – intensity – shadow – transformation – regeneration from the constitutional core is all I’m saying here…
SATURN in AQ in YOUR Chart…
…shows where YOU are called to be in community collaboration, rather than going into separation, which areas of life call you for that (relationships, career, creativity…), and in which other dynamics (Aspects to your Planets) – to be discussed individually.
If you have SUN, MOON, AC, Nodes, or Planets in AQ, and for all of us, where AQ is in our charts, this is a 2 1/2-Year Initiation phase to cultivate social & societal responsibility – and freedom from within.
Your as Our Humanity Matters!
So – here are keywords for the astrological Houses.
Whichever one/s you have AQ in points to the area of life where community, collaboration, friendship, free spiritedness, are knocking on your door.
SATURN’s entry into it is an initiation for more humanity and freedom.
If you’re on good terms with SATURN you should be in good shape, lol.

Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.
Why?
Because it leads to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel connected with yourself in the bigger evolution. Ultimately, you can dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less and less affected, more and more liberated, and self-realized.
The birth chart is an incarnational map to identify your ‘original imprint’and themes that are showing up as ‘issues’ in your life.
I help you see how you don’t need to be unconsciously identified with them, and they don’t have to run your life. I welcome you as a client who is not seeking a ‘reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transitions, stuckness, transformational crisis, or for perspective at a crossroad, dilemma, or empowered choices.
This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!
Feeling called to explore your own Cosmic Map, and how it can guide you on your Earthly Journey?
Come over / let’s meet online, for your private Astro session!
And here’s my contribution for Cosmic Relief this challenging situation:
