Howzit been going, with / since SATURN’s recent ‘U-Turn’ from retro to direct, on SATURN-Day, Nov 4?!
Yep, Saturday IS named after SATURN, just as SUN-Day after the SUN, MOoN-day after the MOON, etc. (even more obvious in French, Spanish, Italian, check it out…).
And how was the retro phase(since June 17)for you? Have you been able to let go of obstacles, shackles, restrictions, and karmic patterns of engaging with / being available to overwhelming, dissonant, chaotic, toxic, addictive vibrations & energies you might have been ‘loyal’ to for so long? That can relate to people, places, habits, intake of many kinds. And to find inner spiritual guidance for / in the process?
We’re navigating in chaotic, uncharted waters, collectively and personally. The letting-go process with SATURN retro has been a prerequisite to being open to receive and embody much needed higher vibrations which can guide us in the chaos.
As always with SATURN / in life: Maybe we ‘signed up’ for this?!
SATURN will be in direct mode (going forward from Earth perspective) until June 29, 2024. That’sthe regular SATURN ‘rhythm’: Retro for 4 – 5 months, direct for 7 – 8 months.
Let’s explore what this forward mode one might entail.
The turnaround of the ‘Ringed One’ makes Nov quite a SATURN focused phase. We feel pressure, even pain, that shows us where certain chapters are over and done, where we need to find closure and set boundaries, to move forward in a lighter & clearer way.
SATURN’s shift to forward motion also helps with opening these new chapters / themes:
* VENUS goes into LIBRA, on Nov 8. A sigh of relief and newfound peace, after the recent super busy phase with VENUS in VIR, where we could have attracted more and more issues & problems, making us frustrated and critical, yet also bring awareness to ‘complications’ / dysfunction in relationships.
* MERCURY enters SAG, on Nov 9. New inspiration, heart-centred direction, truth speaking, voicing what we believe in, without the emphasis on wronging the ‘Other’. Live and let live!
* SCORPIO New Moon w. MARS, opp. URANUS retro in TAU, on Nov 13! What a powerhouse that can evoke surprises, shocks, and calls for bold actions that show: We’re diving into the change.
SATURN Direct in PI – What’s the Way Forward, in the Great Chaos / Unknown?
What a question / predicament, at this time in history, where the overall interconnectivity (PI) is more challenged than in a long time. All is connected, and One.
What a teaching and test, esp. since SATURN entered PI, in March. Ripple / domino effects happen – with joyous or catastrophic outcomes, depending on what’s ‘put into’ the mix. Sensitivity and compassion are required, to not fall for traps of division, polarization, retaliation, alienation, etc. SATURN the ‘cosmic coach’ offers training (which sometimes feels like a boot camp).
We’ve seen ample evidence for what happens when collective consciousness & energy turns into polarizing, divisive “us vs. them” group-think, with crystallized / invisible yet undeniable barriers between the respective ‘fronts’. Yet: Divided we fall; united we stand.
What re-unifies and connects??? What brings us to good vibrations & flow states? Music, dance, movement, rest, good connections, love, joy…. From that state, we can offer / step into better solutions.
SATURN and Israel/ Netanyahu’s Involvement
The ‘Ring of Fire’ Solar Release Eclipse in LIBRA on Oct 14 was right on Israel’s AC. Gaza has been literally in a ‘Ring of Fire’ since. What’s with fairness, justice, balance, and proportion – when it comes to this war that mostly hits, hurts, and kills civilians, esp. children and youth?!
SATURN is considered the Planet of Israel and the Jewish People.
May the ‘backfiring’ approach under SATURN retro / stat. (while also PLUTO in SATURN ruled CAP turned direct on Oct 10) that brought out the shadow of the nation and its allies turn around now – since: This is NOT the way to move forward (except into more war, chaos, and destruction).
I looked at B. Netanyahu’s chart as well – here it is (via astrodatabank):
Turns out, he was born on just hours before a Partial Solar Release Eclipse end of LIBRA (like the ‘Ring of Fire’ one), on Oct 21, 1949, with his MERCURY / NEPTUNE / MOON / SUN all in LIBRA, as the apex of a T-square w. URANUS in CAN, and JUPITER end of CAP.
PLUTO’s station end of CAP – which also represents the last phase of the U.S. PLUTO Return(!) is these years right on B.N.’s JUPITER – a max. once-in-a-lifetime (248-y.) historic transit: “I am the Law.” “I am loyal to traditions or: to the Old Empire.”
Which now expires, as it reveals its drastic & destructive shadow manifestations. Making room for a New Humanity – as PLUTO enters AQ in 2024.
Also noteworthy that B.N.’s AC / VENUS aligns with the U.S. Ascendant in mid-SAG – close allyship and financial / ideological alignment.
The upcoming SCO New Moon with MARS on Nov 13 on B.N.’s 12th House cusp squares his PLUTO / MARS in LEO, on his 8th / 9th House cusp. A stark contrast / conflict between demonstrating military power & righteousness, and the backfiring (self)destructive shadow thereof – reflected through collective forces that push for a approach.
Are we leaving the PISCES Age?!
What are indicators (SATURN: “Show me the evidence!”)?
Humanity (AQ) has re-shaped, in the SATURN in AQ years (2021 / 22). Which came with many painful experiences, and with lots of separation.
SATURN represents the pain of labour in the birth process. The embryo has outgrown its fetal womb state – a new phase must begin. Followed by the PLUTOnian process of the inevitable passage through the birth canal (Cesareans miss that stage, and PLUTO experiences later in life can be affected by this – which is another story….), that transforms everything – out of the womb / matrix, into the world – becoming an independent Being.
PLUTO enters AQ2023 – 24. Humanity’s birth canal out of the ‘Old Matrix’. While the SATURN ‘midwife’ is now in PISCES, supporting a perhaps painful, yet necessary, transition ‘labour’ into the New Era.
SATURN in PISCES can teach us during these transition years, at a time of perceived lack of control, in a world of loss, overwhelm, chaos, and confusion,to navigate the unknown & unknowable, and acknowledge the impermanence of things… While also releasing residues of PISCES Age paradigms…
What’s our anchor in the Waves of the ‘Great Sea of Life’?
Great Wave of Kanagawa by Japanese Master Katsushika Hokusai
SATURN in PISCES (March 2023 – Feb 2026) while approaching NEPTUNE (which has been 2012 – 2025 in PI) makes it blatantly and sometimes painfully clear that the old PISCES Age is ending…
With the last converging tsunami of Piscean phenomena:
* Mass movements – often generated by contagious ‘waves’ with hypnotic and pseudo-religious effects, exploiting the human need for connection, yet leaving one empty and longing for more after the ‘fill’ – since it’s not the real thing (i.e. our intrinsic connection with the divine / all-that-IS). The media and any mass events are prime examples.
* Addictions to substances, experiences, behaviour. Again: substitutes for ‘the real thing’ – while forever evoking ‘hungry ghosts’
* Perpetuating / re-living the co-dependent triad of victim – perpetrator – saviour – with martyrs also ‘in the game’. Abuse and redemption, played out in movies, and ‘in real life’.
Let’s look at the
Sabian Symbol for SATURN’s Turnaround Degree
SATURN went direct again from 0°31′ PISCES.
Market Streets in Marrakesh(!) – photo by moi, from a journey in Oct 2007
“PISCES 1° IN A CROWDED MARKET PLACE FARMERS AND MIDDLEMEN DISPLAY A GREAT VARIETY OF PRODUCTS
KEYNOTE The process of commingling and interchange which at all levels demonstrates the health of a community
In any twelve-fold division of a complete cycle (for instance the 12 zodiacal signs and the 12 Houses of a birth chart) the twelfth section often has been given a negative significance. It can refer to oppressive conditions as it represents a “closing of accounts”, a final evaluation of the harvest of the cycle.
A very bad harvest may lead to bankruptcy; a premature revolt may bring the rebel to jail; the dissolute may end in a hospital.
In this section of the cycle a man reaps what he has sown. But it may also be honors, social prestige, the interests of well-managed wealth.
In this twenty-fourth scene what is stressed is the coming together, in a final experience of community, of all factors previously experienced; this means constructive interaction and an interchange of the products of social activity. In a practical sense, the symbol, whenever it is found, emphasizes that the time has come to take full advantage of the social opportunities to bargain and to trade.
This is the first stage of the process related to the sixty-seventh five-fold sequence of symbols. It refers to all that can be gained from social interplay and especially, in the broadest sense of the word, from COMMERCE.”
A beautiful symbol for the natural intermingling and exchange of energies, people, goods, food, money, in cohesion / synch / flow, on the AQ / PI cusp. May Humanity remember what’s healthy, natural, and good about this, and carry it forward, in this time of change.
Wherever that cusp is in your chart – how’s your mingling going? Have you found a new way forward, as you immerse in the flow of life?
SATURN Transits while Going Direct (Nov 4 – June 29)
SATURN goes in this phase direct from 0°31′ – 19°29′ PI (at which degree the ‘Ringed One’ goes retro).
The following are Transits TO SATURN, from the SUN, MARS, JUPITER. NO Transits from SATURN to slower moving Planets, in this phase.
The next Transits from SATURN to slower moving Planets will be
Spring 2025 SATURN end of PI in sextile to URANUS end of TAU
Summer 2025 & March 2026 SATURN in early AR conj. NEPTUNE, and sextile PLUTO in early AQ
Monthly, the MOON in early to mid- PI will meet SATURN. Nov 20, Dec 17, Jan 14, Feb 10, March 9 – day before PI New Moon, April 6, May 3, May 31, June 27 Which can be a heavy-moody vibe, yet also attune us to what matters most – and what we really need, to be connected.
NOV 4 SATURN went direct again in cuspy PI (0°31) – the ‘Coherence Point’ Connected with Soul-Self and others where there’s resonance, we move forward, into the (always) unknown.
NOV 23 / 25 The SUN & MARS freshly in SAG in square w. SATURN stationary in early PI Lots of energy-in-motion – let’s not focus on the clashes, but on the ‘highroad’ / upward-spiralling, yet also be clear with truth and energetic boundaries.
DEC 24 The SUN freshly in CAP in sextile w. SATURN (Ruler of CAP) in PI A beautiful Chrismas energy. Light Returning. Spiritual Teachings are ever so important.
JAN 9 MARS (exalted) in early CAP in sextile w. SATURN (Ruler of CAP) in PI Great energy to get things done – while allowing help to come in from all dimensions.
JAN / FEB JUPITER stat. in early TAU in sextile w. SATURN in early PI (not exact but active both months) Joy, Gratitude, Flow, Ease. Let it all come together.
FEB 28 The SUN in early PI meets SATURN in early PI Living consciously, and attuned to spiritual laws.
APR 10 – 2 days after the APR 8 Total Solar Seed Eclipse in AR (MARS ruled) MARS in PI meets SATURN Stop & Go & Stop situations? Or rather: Skillful surfing / dancing? It IS a New World (also via PLUTO’s entry into AQ) – time to practice to roll with vibrational upgrades.
MAY 6 The SUN in mid-TAU in sextile w. SATURN in mid-PI Wonderful vibes for mid-Spring Ceremonies, in alignment with Nature.
JUNE 29 SATURN goes retro at 19°29′ PI (w. SCO undertone) – until Nov 15 May Inner Guidance take us through Soul Depth, and re-connect us.
Where in Your Chart is (esp. early) PISCES?

ASTRO~EXPERIENCES via Courses, Workshops, and Embodied Astrology
Our experiential and embodied Astrology groups have over time (since 2005) become quite potent and catalytic. In the intimate Astro hubs (max 6 participants) you’re personally seen and involved – more commitment, community, deeper effects.
On June 17 – day of the end-of-GEMINI New Moon! – SATURN in early PI will go retro (until Nov 4). Once a year, SATURN is on retro-course for 4 ½ months. SATURN has been already in a slow turnaround mode, and appears from Earth perspective as a ‘stationary’ focal point of energy this month.
The gist: Rather than buying into internalized socially conditioned fears of the unknown / chaos, and going into overwhelm / escapism / addictions / checking out, it’s time to check in with old patterns that can pull us into those modes, and find authority, responsibility, and integrity from our spiritual core, live from there, and stay connected.
SATURN – NEPTUNE in PI – End of the Pisces Age?
SATURN in PISCES (which it entered on March 7, and will affect until Feb 2026) approaching NEPTUNE (2012 – 2025 in PI) makes it blatantly and sometimes painfully clear that the old PISCES Age is ending – with its characteristics of…
* Mass movements – often generated by contagious ‘waves’ with hypnotic and pseudo-religious effects, exploiting the human need for connection, yet leaving one empty and longing for more after the ‘fill’ – since it’s not the real thing (i.e. our intrinsic connection with the divine / all-that-IS). The media and any mass events are prime examples.
* Addictions to substances, experiences, behaviour. Again: substitutes for ‘the real thing’ – while forever evoking ‘hungry ghosts’
* Perpetuating / re-living the co-dependent triad of victim – perpetrator – saviour – with martyrs also ‘in the game’. Abuse and redemption, played out in movies, and ‘in real life’.
SATURN shows evidence for what can’t continue, as we’ve outgrown an old ‘matrix’ that promised security while having us in its grip (via fear, or via incentives).
Our ‘job’ is simply(?!) to not go there / not feed the ‘old monster’ anymore, as tempting as it may be (even ‘just’ to justify that we were right and knew all along…).
SATURN is the planetary Archetype of Tests, Tasks, Teachings, and Training, in due Time. In PISCES, we’re called to go for the ‘real thing’ – true connection -, and stay away from pseudo versions. And yes, it can be a tough training / boot camp. Practice makes us stronger, and teaches us a lot. Time to invoke the inner coach, with SATURN retro.
SATURN – NEPTUNE Transition to a New Era
SATURN and NEPTUNE (already since 2012) are now in PI – and will unite on the ARIES side of the PI – AR ‘Emergence Point’ cusp in 2025 / 26. Heralding a New Era while releasing the Old.
Every 34 – 37 years, these two slow moving Planets form a conjunction from Earth perspective which mirrors junctures / re-structuring (SATURN) of social / collective trends and movements (NEPTUNE). Check out the Communism themes the 20th Century – very apropos SATURN / NEPTUNE – organizing collectivism: 1918 in LEO – End of WWI / Russian Revolution, 1952 in LIBRA – between establishment of PR China in 1949 and Hungarian Revolution in 1956, 1989 in CAP – Berlin Wall coming down, unraveling of ‘Eastern Block’.
Peak Retro Season of the Year while SATURN is Retro
Up to 7 – well, almost 8 Sept 3 / 4(!) Planets will be simultaneously Retro this Summer to Fall.
Summer / early Fall has been Retro Record Season over the last years. Again in 2023, culminating early Sept.
In the already present and upcoming turnaround & retro courses of these Planets (PLUTO – since May 1, SATURN – from June 17 on, NEPTUNE – from June 30 on, VENUS – from July 22 on, CHIRON – from July 23 on, MERCURY from Aug 23 on, URANUS – from Aug 28 on, JUPITER – from Sept 4 on)…
…we’re called to go backwards / inwards, to REsolve and REleaseold low vibrational and unconscious, perhaps karmically ‘inherited’ or societally conditioned patterns, process those, and evolve from within.
The ‘Wave of Retro’ will be strongestfrom Aug 23 – Sept 16, when MERCURY retro will be the peak factor. On Sept 3 / 4 we almost reach the all-time record of EIGHT Planets retro, as VENUS leaves and JUPITER enters retro.
SATURN retro in PI as a ‘backdrop’ certainly helps with the karmic / spiritual ‘un-doing’ and re-connecting.
Let’s look at the
Sabian Symbol for SATURN’s Turnaround Degree
SATURN will go retro from 7°13′ PISCES.
“PISCES 7° ILLUMINED BY A SHAFT OF LIGHT, A LARGE CROSS LIES ON ROCKS SURROUNDED BY SEA MIST
KEYNOTE The spiritual blessing which strengthens individuals who, happen what may, stand uncompromisingly for their own truth
Humans who do not depend upon collective values, traditions or support but seek at any cost to be true to their individual self and destiny almost inevitably face some kind of crucifixion. They are sustained only by the power within them, to which a light above answers. The symbol tells us: “Be true to thine own self, and in the midst of the outer confusion displayed by those surrounding you, you will realize what you really are as an Individual — a son / daughter of God.”
This second stage symbol presents us with a realization in polar opposition to that evoked by the preceding scene (A PARADE OF ARMY OFFICERS IN FULL DRESS – Group Responsibility). It implies the supreme worth of a life guided by an inner voice and manifesting a high degree of SELF-ASSERTION.”
Wow, Dane Rudhyar’s interpretation of the symbol (below the Keynote), published 50 years ago, in 1973, is ever so timelessly relevant for SATURN in early PISCES, coming now to a turning point. Where we realize, once again, that guidance, faith, and spiritual alignment is an ‘inside job’, and what is provided from the outside can at best help re-connect (the literal meaning of religion) us with the inner source but shouldn’t and can’t replace our intrinsic wisdom.
SATURN is such a ‘cross’ symbol (being cross-roads, bearing our cross / fate, feeling crucified / in the cross-fire / blamed for what’s not ours to take on… yet also being at the right time at the right place).
So let’s honour, acknowledge, and re-commit to our inner divine source, maybe after chaotic ordeals, and / or processes, evoked by outer events.
As SATURN will go retro (a yearly 4 ½ months process) until Nov 4, it’s time to turn away from following, or resisting / judging outer voices of ‘authority’ and old conditioning that are telling us: “You should surrender, give up & give in”, and from external fear inducing factors that can hold us back. And instead turn to the inner wisdom source, from which we live, with inner Light & Love.
Let’s look at the Sabian Symbol for the retro-to-direct Turnaround degree (0°31′ PISCES) when we get closer to that time. Suspense-suspense, and one step at a time for now.
SATURN Transits while Retro (June 17 – Nov 4)
These are ALL Transits TO SATURN, from faster moving Planets (mostly from MERCURY when it enters a new sign, and quite a few opposition Transits from the VIRGO side, via SUN, MERCURY, VENUS, and MARS).
Its half-way point will be when SATURN retro will be opposed by the SUN in early VIR, on Aug 27– from unraveling to consciously re-connecting.
The next Transits from SATURN to slower moving Planets will be
Spring 2025 SATURN end of PI in sextile to URANUS end of TAU
Summer 2025 & March 2026 SATURN in early AR conj. NEPTUNE, and sextile PLUTO in early AQ
Monthly, the MOON in early PI will meet SATURN retro. Which can be a heavy-moody vibe, yet also attune us to what matters most – and what we really need to be connected to: July 6, Aug 3, Aug 30 (Full Moon w. SATURN retro), Sept 26, Oct 24.
JUNE 19 JUPITER in TAU in sextile w. SATURN retro / stat. in early PI Their first aspect (a ‘friendly’ one that-is) since the epic conjunction at 0°29′ AQ at Winter Solstice 2020 – starting a new 20-year cycle. Appreciating Nature, and Her abundant gifts brings joy that re-connects us & brings us to a better vibration.
JUNE 28 / 29 MERCURY & the SUN in early CAN in Water trine w. SATURN retro / stat. in PI A good time to take care of homey endeavours and consciously tuning into a place of belonging, while being in the flow.
JULY 14 MERCURY in early LEO in quincunx w. SATURN retro in early PI Summery things on your mind? Don’t get overwhelmed by all the possibilities / loose your joy by going into F.O.M.O. – all an expression of love. Follow the call of your Heart.
JULY 20 MARS freshly in VIR opposes SATURN retro in early PI Making sure the pursuit of reason and practicalities is balanced with letting help & ‘random’ inner guidance come in, and staying in the flow.
JULY 28 The SUN in early LEO in quincunx w. SATURN retro in early PI Live Life Lovingly, in joyous self expression and attuned to spiritual laws.
AUG 1 – Day of the Lammas SuperMoon in AQ – LEO MERCURY freshly in VIR opposes SATURN retro in early PI Lots to think about and organize? Don’t get wrapped up in details and let things come together, as they should.
AUG 27 The SUN in early VIR opposes SATURN retro in early PI SATURN retro half-way point From unraveling chaos and unnecessary entanglements to conscious connection & alignment with What-IS.
AUG 30 Early PI – early VIR Full Moon w. SATURN retro – Retro Peak Phase of the year has started Be Well – Be Love!
SEPT 1 MARS freshly in LIBRA in quincunx w. SATURN retro in early PI Fighting for peace, fairness, harmony? What’s the vibration that can be most effective? Connecting can make things easier.
SEPT 24 The SUN in early LIBRA in quincunx w. SATURN retro in early PI What are you re-designing?
OCT 5 MERCURY in early LI in quincunx w. SATURN retro in early PI What would peace talks / reconnecting with people re-quire?
OCT 9 VENUS freshly in VIR opposes SATURN retro / stat. in cuspy PI Perfect beauty? Je ne sais quoi vibes from the inside out make all the difference.
OCT 13 MARS freshly in SCO in Water trine w. SATURN retro / stat. in cuspy PI Magicand mastery of navigating the unknown…
OCT 22 / 24 MERCURY & the SUN freshly in SCO (on the ‘Tipping Point’) in Water trine w. SATURN retro / stat. in cuspy PI May your choices take you to powerful, mystical, magical places!
NOV 4 SATURN goes direct again in cuspy PI (0°31) – the ‘Coherence Point’ Connected with Soul-Self and others where there’s resonance, we move forward, into the (always) unknown.

SATURN makes a significant move this month, into multi-dimensional PISCES (how does that work???)… …and out ofAQ (since March 21, 2020), where it’s been about challenges / teachings (incl. learning from mistakes!) / re-structuring, when it comes to humanity, group consciousness, systems, science, as well as groups / friendships. Yet also the necessity (SATURN) of solidarity (AQ). Sooo many divisive experiences among humans, even endings and closures, yet also many new alliances and friendships were formed…
Sooo many people passed away, in these last 3 years. Some of them, like Queen Elizabeth II, representatives of an ending era.
My sincere condolences to you, if you also lost dear & loved ones!
Old structures (SATURN in CAP), systems / associations (AQ) that don’t work anymore / proved lack of integrity / didn’t pass the tests of time / of what’s fit for a shared future (AQ) are ending / dissolving (PI). Easily, judgment could have slipped into these experiences – sooo SATURN (“Those people… those systems…”).
Could you find closure, while seeing / acknowledging old / dysfunctional systemic issues?
Humanity (AQ) has re-shaped, in these SATURN in AQ years. Which came with many painful experiences, and with lots of separation.
SATURN in the birth process represents the pain of labour, which indicates, the embryo has outgrown its womb state – a new phase must begin. Followed by the PLUTOnian process of the inevitable passage through the birth canal (Cesareans miss that stage, and PLUTO experiences later in life can be affected by this – another story….), that transforms everything – out of the womb / matrix, into the world – becoming an independent Being.
PLUTO will be next to enter AQ, after SATURN has ‘done its job’. 2023 – 24 are the transition years. Humanity’s birth canal out of the ‘Old Matrix’. While the SATURN ‘midwife’ will be in PISCES, supporting a perhaps painful, yet necessary, transition ‘labour’ into a ‘New Era’.
How might PLUTO in AQ affect Humanity? The ‘end of Humanity as we know it’? The ‘newly engineered’ Human in the making? Transhumanism…? And / or: Evolved / Evolving Humans turn away from the take-over of a mechanistic & digitalized new matrix, come together in Freedom, shared values, and co-innovate community and even society?!
PLUTO’s transition into AQ will be in 3 phases: The first one is coming up March 23 – June 11, then it goes for ‘unfinished business’ back into CAP until entering AQ for the second time on Jan 20, 2024. On Sept 2, 2024, it goes once more back into CAP, until Nov 19, when it finally enters AQ, for the following 20 years!
In the transition phase, by nature, we can envision and intuit, yet, by the very nature of it, it’s a process. We’re ‘not there yet’ – not as Humanity as a whole. Being connected to Soul Power, based on Natural Law (which we can carry from PLUTO in CAP with us…) matters.
More thoughts about PLUTO’s Transition years, in a separate blog post, before its initial entry into AQ, on March 23.
SATURN in PISCES can teach us during these transition years, into not just a new phase but a new era(!), at a time of perceived lack of control, in a world of loss, overwhelm, chaos, and confusion,to navigate the unknown & unknowable, acknowledge the impermanence of things… While also releasing residues of PISCES Age paradigms…
What’s our anchor in the Waves of the ‘Great Sea of Life’?
Great Wave of Kanagawa – by Japanese Master Katsushika Hokusai
Let’s glean cosmic insights, for navigating with SATURN’s entry into PISCES
…and bring an ancient & timeless paradigm shifter into the picture, for what might be hidden in plain sight (one of the PISCEAN paradoxes):
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 is buddies with SATURN. He can be invoked to bring the (actual) obstacles to the light, whatever they may be, and show a path to overcome or release them.
Often with SATURN, the obstacle / darkness comes down to a condition of fear.
When we lead with fear / let fear be in charge of perception & action, we reap the results – there’s always more to be afraid of / since ‘the other’ / ‘that thing’ is out of control. Fear is a low – and quite common vibration of SATURN.
Fears that came up with SATURN in AQ (2020 – early 2023): Fear of isolation / or of other people / certain groups; fear of systems. Social fear leads to even more separation / isolation.
With SATURN in PISCES (early 2023 – early 2026), what can come up: Fear of chaos, loss, the unknown / unknowable, of inescapable energies, overwhelm, collapse – fear of everything (omniphobia / panphobia), a diffuse dread of evil in life. Snowballing fear based mass phenomena.
Fear leads to separation (and vice versa) – from one another, from our connection with the Universe, and from our strong vibrant core. The resulting vulnerable human state can be exploited / manipulated (into polarization, blame agendas, demonizing ‘the other’ / ‘that thing’, with the notion for an externalized authority to ‘do something’ to save / protect).
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 be aware in that regard, in these quite isolated times.
Healthy socializing regulates our minds and emotions. We’re social animals, and inter-connected in the Web of Life (AQ / PI).
And we can ‘personally’ contribute to a better overall vibration. The opposite of pan-phobia is healthy ‘Urvertrauen’ (a German word for being rooted in trust in life – more like a JUPITER in PI experience).
SATURN rules the Root Chakra. Is fear or trust the foundation from which we live / which permeates our experience? Childhood wounds play a role of course – CHIRON now in ARIES invites to healing…
Exposing ourselves to / immersing in trust / surrender / letting go, and unifying vibrations, is what SATURN in PISCES can teach us. …rather than feeding that ‘Fear Wolf’.
Connecting with our deep roots that connect all Life, and to one another can be one of the (maybe foundational) contributions during SATURN in PISCES.
Where SATURN’s motto Less is More can come in, when in PISCES: Less pondering on / getting weighed down and depressed by what’s out of control, by Laws of Nature – as in: What’s uncertain, impermanent, by the very nature of life, in its ambiguous & paradoxical ways (“One never knows…”, “This or that, or both could be true”).
What to do with the energy instead?
Maybe for starters, doing our part to make the world a better place, one vibration and ‘random act of kindness’ at a time. That’s where the upcoming VIRGO – PISCES Full Moon on March 7 comes in that invites SATURN into PISCES, just 1 hr after the FM.
Practicing living by – timeless & spiritual life principles…
Any spiritual practice – Yoga, meditation, Qi Gong, chanting, that brings us into the ‘flow state’ is certainly helpful to us individually, and to the whole, in these times.
May we let the light of inner spiritual wisdom remove the obstacles – whichever they may be. And wisely and compassionately raise vibrations, for a smoother ‘flow’.
Jai Ganesh!
Paradoxical PISCES, ‘evaluated’ & supported by SATURN
The two Fish of the (large) PISCES constellation swim into opposite directions. ‘Up into ecstatic / otherworldly realms’ if you will, and ‘down / going under’ – or maybe ‘checking out’, as the illustration could also suggest. Bonded in this juxtaposition, the ‘opposites’ are united.
SATURN the ‘Lord of Karma’ shows us more clearly the ’causes & effects’ of either state, what can help to shift the ‘wheel’s direction’, and how to reconcile the paradoxes, in the grand Paradox of Life.
Going down / going under phenomena Which esp. show up, when in low vibe / heavy SATURN mode:
*Chaos – through overwhelm, and / or loss / feeling lost (maybe post AQ alienation / isolation)
*Loss of social bonds, and of identity
*Groundlessness
*Exposed to / experiencing insanity, ‘weirdness’ of ‘consensus reality’ – not through specific issues, but through overall / pervasive atmosphere
*Helplessness (“I’m unable to do something about… / help others” / “Nobody helps me…” “Who / what saves me?”)
*Victim or martyr consciousness
*Free floating anxiety and depression
*Addictive compensations (substance use / behaviour).
Going up into ecstatic / otherworldly realms SATURN calls these Zeitgeist phenomena out, in these framings, and can be the coach to really embody higher dimensions of Being:
*Lost in dreams, phantasies, illusions
*Addictive-passive media exposure / consumption / going ‘high’
*Taking the ‘flight’ option, disappearing from confrontation – or from the World
*Spiritual by-passing / superiority / judgment (“If you / they only were more spiritual….” “I, however…”)
*What helps you to be in ‘flow state’ / what gets you out of it?
*Living the dream – are you? Why not?
Reconciling the paradoxes, in the grand Paradox of Life
The essence of timeless Dao Wisdom: Yin-Yang
What appears polarized are often apparently opposite expressions of their union, and of the interconnectedness and Unity of all Life.
Everything contains its polar opposite. The balance of ‘opposites’ is interwoven. Always dynamic and impermanent… In constant flow & change.
When we humans experience polar opposites as too intense, we want to resist or check out, rather than experience their dependency & rhythm (light attracts / turns into darkness and back to light again, awakeness into sleep, ease turns into tension, and release again), and allow things to change & pass.
PISCES is oceanic – the interconnectedness of all Life. The miraculous and fragile Web of Life is a PISCES theme… As are literally oceans and atmosphere. Water IS Life. SATURN: Take responsibility for your part, identify the major factors and parties that have brought ‘All Life on Earth’ into peril, and course correct, before it’s too late. Also: Time to find more ‘scientific evidence’ for the interconnectedness of all Life, and for the mystery of the Universe!
Personally, some bonds / connections / co-dependencies can be toxic. SATURN helps to disengage from those, and not feed more into the ‘karmic contracts’ of those relationships – lessons learned! It helps to ‘take the pulse’ of the vibrations and resonance, to gain clarity. And to ask for / get help from an unbiased outward source.
Addictions are often a re-directed / compensated need to connect and be one-with / loose ourselves in a state or activity. Is there a way of going to the ‘real thing’? A purer way of connecting (with Nature, one another, the Universe…)? What are the root causes (SATURN) for the compensation? Maybe lack of healthy bonding in childhood? CHIRON now in ARIES can help reveal and heal early wounds.
Bottom like with SATURN about to enter PISCES: Spiritual teachings need to be practiced and embodied – esp. at times like these. What would the wise and compassionate spiritual teacher say – and DO?
Voila, here is the Chart of SATURN entering PISCES
A few striking factors in the initiatory ‘cosmic framework’:
* SATURN enters PISCES just 1 hr(!) after the VIR – PI Full MOON, on March 7! (blog post about Her to follow)!
Interesting how the VIRGO Full Moon ‘births’ SATURN into PI – its complementary energy. And the MOON is almost (besides LILITH in early LEO and the SN in SCO) the only ‘counterpart’ to quite acelestial concentration from late CAP (PLUTO) / early PI (SATURN) to mid-TAU (URANUS) / extended to mid GEM (MARS) – known as ‘bowl’ pattern. All about Transformation (PLUTO), Transition (PISCES), new Beginnings / fierce Authenticity / Healing (ARIES / CHIRON), EmBodying Freedom (TAURUS / URANUS).
The Full MOON ‘handle’ of the ‘basket’ (extension of the ‘bowl’) can bring specific issues, and notions for ‘order’ in a world that appears ‘out of control’ / chaotic to acute awareness.
What’s SATURN’s teaching on the AQ – PI cusp? Esp. about Unity Consciousness. We’re all in this together / in one boat, part of the Web of Life.
* It’s PISCES Season Being overwhelmed, ueber sensitive / influenced and feeling like going under, esp. media wise? Good to not get sucked in and brain washed, and do on-going ‘hygiene’ / cleanses and phases of asceticism (VIR) – on all levels, while being compassionate with all Beings. While going with the flow of things, and practicing raising vibrations…
* NO Planet is presently (until Apr 21) retro. Lots of momentum – in certain areasof life (relating to CAP to TAU).
Which ‘Areas’ of PISCES will SATURN cover, in 2023 / 2024, and 2025?
In case you’d like to track which years SATURN might affect or even station (go retro / direct) close to your PISCES features. Always a good idea to find specifics in the Ephemeris. Or let me do the ground work and come to a session…
Naturally, the SATURN retro phases serve integration of challenges / teachings, and find ‘inner authority’.
In 2023: 0° – 7°13′ PI SATURN will enter PI on March 7, go retro this year on June 17 (day of the Summer Solstice New Moon in late GEM) until Nov 4.
In 2024: 3°15′ – 19°26′ PI SATURN in PI will go retro on June 30 until Nov 16.
In 2025: 14°31′ – 1°56′ AR SATURN in PI will enter AR on May 25, go retro on July 13, re-enter PI on Sept 1, and go retro until Nov 28.
In 2026: 26°08′ – 0° AR SATURN in PI will enter AR on Feb 14.
SATURN in PISCES historically
Saturn and Earth – Hubble Space Telescope
SATURN has a 29-year cycle (approx one human generation), and hasn’t been in PISCES since Feb 1994 – Apr 1996.
History comes in patterns and offers lessons (both SATURN themes). Here are some key events of the ‘most recent’ SATURN in PISCES phases. So much more could be said and explored – leaving that to your memory / investigation.
* Feb 1935 – Apr 1937, and Oct 1937 – Jan 1938
At the time, also, major mid-Thirties transits: SATURN in PI opposite NEPTUNE in VIR. URANUS in TAU (which is also now on – one 84-year URANUS Return!).
Ending of years of Depression, turning into pre-WWII years. Nazi Totalitarianism / tyranny / war mongering, Jewish discrimination & exclusion. Communism clashes with anti-Communist alliances. Some key events, according to the timeline on this page, starting in 1935, may evoke parallels to the present time.
1935 Feb 10 Hitler describes the Soviet Union as a menace to peace March The National Council of Jewish Women in New York City describe Hitler as a “world menace.” Mar 16 The Versailles Treaty allows Germany to have no more than 100,000 men under arms.

Jan 31 In the Soviet Union, 31 accused of Trotskyism are executed. Mar 19 Pope Pius XI publishes an encyclical titled Divini Redemptoris, condemning atheistic Communism. Apr 26– first day of SATURN in ARIES – Germany and Italy are allied with Franco and the fascists in Spain. German and Italian airplanes bomb the city of Guernica, killing more than 1,600. Nov 6 Italy joins the Anti-Comintern Pact, created by Germany and Japan in 1936. Nov 9 Japanese troops take Shanghai. Dec 21 Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first feature-length animated cartoon, becomes a smash hit. Dec 29 Ireland’s Constitution, adopted by plebiscite, goes into effect.

At the time, also, major mid-Sixties transits (esp. 1965-66): CHIRON in mid-to-end of PISCES, conj. SATURN, and opp. URANUS – PLUTO in VIRGO. Starting in 1964 with black voting / Civil Rights movement. Vietnam (proxy) war against Communist North Vietnam in full force, at the expense of soldiers and civilians being killed – while anti-war and free speech movements, spawn out of universities. One SATURN Return after discrimination of Jews in the ‘3rd Reich’ started, diplomatic relationships between West Germany and Israel were re-established. Decolonization of several countries from France, Belgium, and Britain. Golden Gate Park anti-war sit-ins started, followed by the ‘Summer of Love’ 1967 at Haight-Ashbury, SF). Peace & Love & Unity? Not easily attained…

* Feb 1994 – Apr 1996
At the time, also, significant early / mid-90’s Transit: URANUS – NEPTUNE conj. end of CAP (esp. 1994).
SATURN in PI themes of those years, starting in 1994: Nuclear disarmament / control of global annihilation. More countries join the European Union. NAFTA was also consolidated. Same-sex unions started to be legally sanctioned. The brutal Civil War in former Yugoslavia / Bosnia between Croats & Serbs that started in 1991 finally ends in Dec 1994.
One SATURN Return since then. In what ways does History repeat itself? What are the lessons? Assessments of the state / effectiveness of NAFTA and EU.

In the upcoming SATURN in PISCES phase March 7, 2023 – May 25, 2025, and Sept 1, 2025 – Feb 14, 2026,
* How can chaos, random ‘fall-out’ and annihilation be averted / controlled? Esp. as we’re seeing more weaponization and nuclear danger through the NATO confrontation with Russia?
* In what ways is the war in Ukraine comparable with the pre-WWII phase, the war in Vietnam, or the civil war in Bosnia? What can bring it to an end? Anti-war movements are emerging in Europe.
* Where is Union / Unification necessary, in our times? In sooo many – and inter-related – ways…
SATURN in PISCES will ‘be there’, for / with these Planetary Transits, in the next Years
* PLUTO’s Transition out of CAP (ruled by SATURN) and into AQ 2023 / 24 1st phase: March 23 – June 11, 2023 2nd phase: Jan 20 – Sept 2, 2024 3rd full phase: Nov 19, 2024 – 2043 / 44
* NEPTUNE’s (ruling PI) Conclusion in PI (2012 – 2026) SATURN will catch up with NEPTUNE on Feb 20, 2026 when both Planets will be at 0° ARIES(!). Which could mark the end point (if there’s such a specific ‘thing’) of the PISCES Age, and the beginning of a New Era / AQ Age, with PLUTO in AQ at the onset of it.
* URANUS in the second half of TAU (2019 – 2026) SATURN end of PI will form a ‘friendly’ sextile with URANUS end TAU (at 25° respectively), on Apr 5, 2025. Perhaps an integration of the fierce square between SATURN in mid-AQ and URANUS in mid-TAU we saw in 2021. New ways of emBodying Freedom, while following the Laws of the Universe?
* CHIRON will continue to be in ARIES until Apr 2027 A highlight of the phase is the upcoming conjunction of JUPITER with CHIRON (on March 11, just 4 days after SATURN’s entry into PI). Big time understanding of what’s been going on in the World of Medicine and ‘New Medicine’ in the last years. Outgrowing what doesn’t support the Medicine of Authenticity.
* JUPITER will be during SATURN’s phase in PI… In ARIES until May 16, 2023 – conjunction w. CHIRON on March 11, 2023 In TAURUS until May 25, 2024 – where it’ll go into sextile w.

SATURN in PISCES in YOUR Chart shows…
Neptune Rules Pisces – painting by Johfra Bosschart
…where YOU are called to regulate overwhelm, work with chaos, yet also surrender, (re)connect, and go into unity consciousness, rather than into separation, and surrender to the Order of the Universe… …which areas of life (relationships, career, creativity, etc…) bring it out, …which other dynamics are linked into this (Aspects to your Planets).
If you have SUN, MOON, AC, Nodes, or Planets in PISCES – and / or NEPTUNE is important for you – and for all of us, where PI is in our charts, this is a 3-year initiation phase, to cultivate connectedness and unity – despite challenges & ‘obstacles’.
Here are keywords for the astrological Houses. Whichever one/s PISCES is in points to the area of life where surrender and the path / DAO of Unity present themselves (while chaos can come up there too).
SATURN moving through PISCES can bring your potential to manifestation. If you work on it – and ‘work’ on letting go and connecting, while bringing unhealthy patterns and old ‘karmic contracts’ / entanglements to a close.
1st House Your Presence and Sense of Self
2nd House Your Values, what you own, literally & metaphorically, your Business
3rd House Your Environment, and its Mentality
4th House Your Home, Origin, Ancestry
5th House Your Creative, Playful, Inner Child and Lover
6th House Your Work, Wellness, Lifestyle
7th House Your Partners & Significant Others
8th House Your Involvement and Sharing with Others, Your Transformations
9th House What gives you Meaning, Your Wisdom, Inspiration, Path and Travels
10th House Your Purpose incl Career, Your Public Self
11th House Your Social Side – Engagement with Society, Groups and Friends
12th House Your Transcendent and Spiritual Self and Union with All-that-Is.
SATURN in PISCES affecting other Zodiac Energies
PISCES (your SUN, MOON, Planets, Nodes, AC / MC) will be directly affected by SATURN – To mature and embody spiritual teachings…
VIRGO will be opposed by SATURN – A good challenge to see specific ‘issues’ from a place of Dao, flow, unity. Chances are the juxtaposition comes up in relationships with significant others – or with ‘all-that-IS’.
GEM and SAG will be squared by SATURN – The intellect and intuitive knowing only go so far. There’s a vaster field ‘in effect’…
Are you in a SATURN Return ‘Generation’?
If you were born between Feb 1994 – Apr 1996, you’ll have your 1st SATURN RETURN (round age 28 – 30).
If you were born between March – Sept 1964, and Dec 1964 – Feb 1967, this will be your 2nd SATURN RETURN (round age 57 – 59).
If you were born between Feb 1935 – Apr 1937, and Oct 1937 – Jan 1938, you’ll have your 3rd SATURN RETURN (round age 86 – 88).
Full Circle to be in your Natural, God / Universe given Authority, and to show up in your best, to help with Unity!
Wishing you and all of usthe Reliability of Unity & Flow, in the Waters & Waves of Life, with SATURN in PISCES!

In the Oct Turnaround phase, it’s SATURN’s turn on 10/10
…after PLUTO started the trend, initiated by / on the day of the Very LIBRA New Moon, Oct 6. JUPITER & MERCURY follow, on Oct 17 / 18 – feeding into the late ARIES – LIBRA Full Moon on Oct 20.
The double 10 date stands out, and is aligned with SATURN ruling the 10th sign, CAPRICORN, and the 10th House in the chart – of purpose and ‘public relations’. Many hints from SATURN how important this time is.
The SATURN retro phase in AQ over the last 4 1/2 months since end of May brought lots of evidence for how external social / societal / scientific authority & norms is questionable / doesn’t work. Rather than taking blame from others, or blaming ‘them’ / ‘it’, how about taking responsibility, and doing what a truly good friend or role models in society would do – showing up with integrity from the inside-out?!
As SATURN & JUPITER, both in AQ this year,come out of retro within a week (Oct 10 & 17), the month of October offers not just a necessity (says SATURN) but also a great opportunity (says JUPITER) to do an inventory & overhaul of systems, society, community, and friendships (all AQ themes) we wish to be part of. Not for external reasons, but from the inside-out (retro to direct).
The cosmic coach SATURN and the cosmic mentor JUPITER are with us.
The retro-to-direct phase is perfect to get into a Fall inventory project, and see on the external level how our inner process since both went retro, which started May 23 / June 20 has re-configured us, and how we show up with the inner strengthening & wisdom gained in the outer world.
Our NO (SATURN) to certain worlds and ways, and our YES (JUPITER) to others has become clearer. Would you agree?
Let’s tune into the
Sabian Symbol for SATURN’s Turnaround Degree(6°53′AQ)
Cosmic Egg – painting by Vladimir Kush
AQUARIUS 7° A CHILD IS SEEN BEING BORN OUT OF AN EGG
KEYNOTE The emergence of new mutations according to the great rhythms of the cosmos
The ancient symbolism of the Cosmic Egg (Hiranyagharba in Sanskrit) out of which a new Universe is born can be interpreted at several levels.
Here we see the appearance of a new type of human being who is not born from “Ancestors” and who therefore is free from the inertia of humanity’s past. S/he is a new product of evolution, a mutant. S/he constitutes a fresh projection of the creative Spirit that emanates from the cosmic or planetary Whole, and not from any local culture and racial tradition.
This second stage symbol is in contrast with the preceding one. It can be said to announce the EMERGENCE OF THE GLOBAL HUMAN for the New Age. The power of the whole is focused within him / her, in perfect freedom from ancient standards of value based on local conditions.”
Wow. Dane Rudhyar published the (above quoted) interpretation of the Sabian Symbols in 1973.
Is this Symbol for SATURN’s turning point ever pertinent for what’s in the making in society & humanity in 2020 / 2021, and at the eve of PLUTO’s transition into AQ in 2023 / 24! Qu is: What kind of ‘Global Human for the New Age’ is emerging? A utopian humanity of collaboration in freedom & equality? Or a dystopian ‘engineered’ / technocratically surveilled ‘trans human’ mutant, alienated from socio-local culture and historic context? PLUTO approaching AQ suggests, there can be extremes / pushing the need for transformation of shadow manifestations.
I find it’s crucial to also feature the Symbol for the degree before this one – to which SATURN did not quite(!) go back to, but already transited this February. Not just because it was referred to in the one in question but also given its striking theme:
Ancient Mystery Mask
AQUARIUS 6° A MASKED FIGURE PERFORMS RITUALISTIC ACTS IN A MYSTERY PLAY
KEYNOTE The individual’s involvement in long-established patterns of activity aiming at the release of collective power
The great Mysteries of the past were created by inspired Seers and Adepts for the purpose of transferring to a mentally conscious and humanly significant level of group operation what in the lower kingdoms of life we call instincts.
Biological and cosmic energies can thus be used to ensure that social processes do not lose touch with the deeper realities of planetary and universal Life. Rituals are binding, and often the performers wear masks, for they do not act as human persons but as focal points for the release of transpersonal forces.
This first symbol of the sixty-second five-fold sequence presents to us social processes in their deepest occult aspect. The individual is seen having assumed a TRANSPERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.”
So evocative, this one too (again, interpretation from 1973), given the omni-present mask culture of 2020 / 21. What’s a symbolic meaning of what’s being presented / enacted / ritualized(?) in humanity these times, where masks have seemed to have become a fetish? And, since on some level, it seems dream like, “What if this was a dream, what would its message and function be?”. I leave you with these qu, and with the Symbol…
Bottom line, in the concentrated turnaround time for JUPITER & SATURN together in AQ this year (their union was on Dec 21, 2020 from which time on JUPITER took the lead), the original motto becomes pertinent again: A New Era for our Shared Humanity!
Pls find more about JUPITER’s remaining journey in AQ in 2021 (until Dec 28), incl. the Sabian Symbol for the degree of ITs turnaround on Oct 17, and Alignments with other Planets, in this article, written end of July when JUPITER re-entered AQ.
Highlights of SATURN’s Alignments for the Rest of 2021
OCT 10 – 17 SATURN stat. in AQ in Grand Air Trine with LILITH in GEM & MERCURY retro / stat. in LIBRA The ‘Good Old Ringed One’ is in friendly, auspicious, beneficial social interaction with – shall we say: ‘Wild Woman’ and ‘Trickster’ – what a team! Seriously (or not, says MERCURY): A great time for verifying / authenticating who your Friends are – those with whom there’s like-spiritedness through time, social division, and other external funk. You can be in your True Nature with each other – all that matters.
OCT 30 The SUN in SCO in square with SATURN in AQ – opens the Season that contrasts SCO & AQ Making conscious choices & diving into the magic of change… – while taking charge of co-creating the future.
NOV 10 MERCURY & MARS united in SCO, and in square with SATURN in AQ Don’t just talk – DO. And yes, you have friends & community to help one another.
NOV 26 SATURN in AQ in sextile with CHIRON retro in AR (# 3 in 3 in 2021)
SATURN in AQ has been in 2021 in triple sextile with CHIRON in ARIES, Feb 9, June 23 (with SATURN retro), and Nov 26 (with CHIRON retro). Anything of this sound familiar & came up during the Feb and June phases? Time to integrate in Nov.
Can Science help us with precedents in Medicine? Which Science? Which Medicine are we talking about?
SATURN in AQ makes scientific scrutiny mandatory – in any case, there’ll be consequences. Was Medicine(?) or rather: a fast treatment ‘shot out’ too hastily (ARIES)? What are repercussions (SATURN)?
What does that have to do with the ‘War Medicine’ approach (War on Cancer, War on Virus… – the condition / pathogen is the enemy)? What needs to heal about this now (CHIRON)? Societal development and scientific advancement (SATURN in AQ) shows why.
Who calls the shots and reaps the benefits – and has to be held accountable (SATURN)?
New approaches, and getting started (AR) with co-creating (AQ) the New (AR) is the Medicine / healing and a good teaching (CHIRON).
NOV 29 / 30 MERCURY & the SUN in SAG in sextile with SATURN in AQ Nice combo: Speak from Trust & Truth – and be a model to others like you. The Heart Path forward – together (rather than The Hard Way alone…)
DEC 23 The epic square between SATURN in AQ and URANUS retro in TAU (# 3 of 3 in 2021)
SATURN in AQ has been in 2021 in triple square with URANUS (the modern Ruler of AQ) in TAURUS, Feb 17, June 14 (with SATURN retro), and Dec 23 (with URANUS retro). How have the previous two alignments affected you? The last one in just after Winter Solstice asks you where you stand, on the way forward. One of THE most important themes in the cosmic weather in 2021. New Societal Structures out of Chaos?
A conflict between social / societal control / regulation / reglementation / responsibility and embodying Freedom?
Clash between control of society / organization / planning of ‘The System’ by elite authority figures and organic liberation?
Technocracy vs Biosphere? ‘Bio-Security’?!
(More?) Disruptive effects on the economy having dire / challenging consequences for society / humanity?
Bio disruption – where is freedom? And what are the effects on Nature and the future of our beautiful Planet?
Our authority and responsibility as humans and as humanity – to heal rather than to create more trauma.
Spiritual teachings about liberation – emBodying them in community and in the human web.
Where in your Chart is 7 – 12° AQ?
That’s what SATURN activates / tests / initiates in us for the rest of 2021 – esp. with social / societal and freedom themes coming up.
1st House How You show up – BE unconditionally Liberated!
2nd House What you have and value – Own Your Freedom (even if it seems challenging)!
3rd House Your Environment – Co-Create in the City, and with ‘Relatives’ in Humanity (and yes, test who’s complementary)!
4th House Your Home & Origin – A Place for Friends (did a sorting out phase / test of time happen this year?)!
5th House Your Creativity – You’re a Free-spirited Innovator!Even & especially nowadays.
6th House Your Work, Health, and Lifestyle – Cooperation is the Future!And necessity can be a good thing.
7th House Your significant Others – Liberated Partnerships, and: Is Your Partner Your Friend?!Testing Time.
8th House Your deep Involvement and Transformations – From Loneliness and Distance to Sharing in Humanity? Can be a challenging but important process.
9th House Your Travels and Worldviews – Meet Like-Spirited Friends in the World – maybe as you Travel or Study?!And even if there are obstacles you find a way.
10th House Your calling and Purpose – Freedom. Ever so timely.
11th House Your Community – True Friends and Co-Creators.
12th House Your Oneness with ALL – Always FREE… unconditionally.
Are you in a SATURN Return ‘Generation’?
If you were born between Feb 1991 – Jan 1994 you’ll have your 1st SATURN Return (round age 28 – 30).
If you were born between Jan 1962 – March 1964, and Sept – Dec 1964, this will be your 2nd SATURN Return (round age 57 – 59).
And if you were born between March – Aug 1932, and Dec 1932 – Feb 1935 you’ll have your 3rd SATURN Return (round age 86 – 88).
Full Circle to be in your Natural Authority, and to show up at your best in community & society!
Could be a good time to check in with trusted cosmic reference & co-exploration. I.o.w., come for an Astro session if you feel called.
Wishing you and all of us Humans a fruitful turn of events, with SATURN’s Turnaround! Melanie

WE are the People. ALL of us matter – equally. We all breathe the same AIR.
Time for Social & Societal Responsibility in an Interdependent & Interconnected World.
Breath has become a political issue. And “I can’t breathe” was up on posters and banners of BLM protests across the globe when SATURN was first in AQ (between March 21 and July 1). All of us need to respect each other equally – and be respected equally by authorities (SATURN). A too high of an ideal – given history? No excuse. This is the time to learn the lessons (again). Where are you positioning yourself and showing up in society? is also a SATURN in AQ question.
Time to step fully into & show up with our inalienable Human Freedoms (AQ) – despite…. yes, SATURN presents challenges (external – authority, and internal – fear) which turn into stepping stones.
Let’s hear it for SATURN in AQUARIUS!
Here’s the Overview
…of what you find in this article:

Are you in a SATURN Return ‘Generation’?
SATURN, F.E.A.R. and T.T.T.T.T.
The writing’s on the wall…
Tied into this and its own topic – SATURN’s all-time fave TT (Teaching Tool): F.E.A.R.
Which, let’s face it, has more often than not to do with the acronym – an internalized conditioning of what we ‘should’ be afraid of, rather than a real danger in front of us.
Fear has shown up in a spectrum of expressions this year:
Fear of the virus and its invisible invasiveness.
Social awkwardness when ‘the other’ can’t be fully visually perceived – which psychologically creates suspicion and alienation.
Fear of being isolated / a-social is also apropos SATURN in AQ, as are sociophobic / sociopathic conditions, now ‘on the table’ and natural effects of the world of 2020.
Fear of the government / system.
And then there’s fear for society’s / humanity’s future.
FEAR has become the most pervasive virus of the year – yet ‘only’ making more evident (SATURN) of what’s already been there. Fear isn’t good for the immune system, that’s for sure– an issue with huge repercussions for the future (SATURN in AQ).
F.E.A.R. out of concrete context / as concern about what could happen typically leads to disproportionate responses / reactions (to make sure we do our best to protect / prevent….). That’s also where SATURN’s simplicity motto comes in: Less is More.
Easier said than done…!? Well, that’s SATURNian too – since it takes resolve, consistent practice, discipline, boundaries (‘Just’ say NO – a challenge, given the Aquarian peer / society pressure), and resilience – SATURN is the Cosmic Coach for growing up and showing up, after all.
SATURN is about Authority, and about T.T.T.T.T. Tests, Tasks, Teaching, Training, Time. All of this now applied to AQ.
In the real deal AQ World, we’ve seen ample evidence and sadly lots of drastic illustration of SATURN, during and beyond the first ‘test phase’ of SATURN in very early AQ, March 21 – July 1.
Just an example of a SATURN type table / projection model / 2-D matrix of Time and #’s (pls note: we’re talking about People!)
Tests – Tests – Tests.
Literally, globally, extensive testing, based on a questionable PCR test – so many scientists (AQ) worldwide have critiqued the reliability of the test, due to inconsistent results re: ‘positives’ in ‘numbers’ / ‘cases’ (we’re talking of People here!) it produced – no scientific quality control done!
But that fell on deaf ears of the leaders-in-charge (SATURN). The tests have been the foundation / justification for restrictive governmental measures, advice, and execution (all very SATURN) – with massive effects on the societal fabric (more SATURN in AQ).
And yes, testing of people for fear of the virus threat has been going on globally, to make sure they can be isolated from social interaction. Societal Fears evoked and sanctioned by science(?) and otherwise perceived / established medical and political authority. All very SATURN in AQ.
Early AQ where SATURN has been in Spring, and is now fully until March 2021 + Aug – Dec 2021 has a LIBRA undertone: What’s at stake is the legal-ethical-constitutional proportionality of measures – considering / in relation to the realistic threat and purpose (remember? Originally to protect hospital infrastructures from being overwhelmed – CAP, and to ‘flatten the projected curve’). And there are other implications to the AQ – LIBRA theme (see below).
Boundaries are also Ringed SATURN’s domain.
So fascinating that one of the key debates that has been polarizing and separating (SATURN) society (AQ) in the Covid Crisis process has been the preventioneffectiveness of face masks – ordered by authorities (SATURN) to wear in social context (AQ). A huge spectrum in the response of the population worldwide, from vehement refusal and protests to ueber compliance (even wearing them in situations when the individual is alone in their car, on their bike, walking in nature without anyone around…). It appears that beyond the intended purpose of protecting oneself and one’s environment from the virus when social distance (SATURN in AQ) isn’t possible (the effectiveness of which has been scientifically questioned, and the ‘side effects’ to wearers would in many cases outweigh potential benefits – hence the orders wouldn’t be suited / the order of it would be unreasonable) the wearing or not wearing of face masks had become a symbol, a statement, a ritual – all very SATURN.
Human Aquarium
Clearly, mask wearing has effects on our social interaction or rather: It’s a Saturnian blockage / obstacle thereof – very AQ. Not much of a chance / incentive to ‘talk to strangers’ – since every stranger can be a potential danger (your friends too) – all very apropos ringed SATURN – mask and social distancing serving as ‘mutually protective rings’.
The Ring / SATURN’s protective container is also a matrix / box. Matrix literally means womb. When the baby outgrows the womb and the time for birth has come, labour contractions (our initial encounter with the SATURN Archetype) set in – yes, birth starts with pain (SATURN).
The Ring also has a parental, i.e. maternal or paternal function – the security of belonging and being cared and provided for. Yep, also a super issue this year – Who provides for you if you can’t because you have to close your business due to lock-downs (SATURN)? The government-as-Uber Daddy (SATURN)? But the government is all of us, and providing resources affects future generations (AQ) – unless the monetary system changes completely. Self reliability, stepping into healthy leadership and authority, self & social responsibility (SATURN the ruler of CAP and old ruler of AQ) are at stake and in question.
My sense is, with such a massive CAP concentration in 2020, wrapping around its ‘Lord’ (trad. and still ruler of CAP) SATURN, incl. PLUTO and JUPITER, Humanity on Planet Earth is in a collective ‘birthing’ and ‘growing up’ phase, of disengaging from the ‘Old Empire’ matrix / cocoon – in a last crescendo that gives so much energy and attention to it – expressed by the governments or other institutions or CAP style top-down old ways.
We the People need to grow up into responsible adulthood and respectful partnership with one another and with Mother Earth – rather than adolescently (or embryonically) still adhere to the ‘Old Empire’ while semi or full-on rebelling against it.
The end-of-CAP (last 10º) realm where SATURN – JUPITER – PLUTO have been in a huge concentration in 2020 has a VIRGO undertone. No wonder the world has been in extreme modes round health-wellness infrastructure, ‘production’ / business, program / regulation & ritual modes, and no wonder, governmental / admin leaders and ‘officers’ as well as medical experts have been in constant overdrive, with the notion of: ‘Solving the problem’. However heavily exposing the ‘old world’ in-built structural shadow (PLUTO) that calls for evolution.
And no wonder, via the SATURN in early AQ ‘preview’ in Spring / early Summer issues of impacts of the Government – Society – People dynamic (CAP – AQ cusp), and social justice (AQ with LIBRA undertone) have become a serious priority (SATURN) to deal with. T. b. continued almost throughout 2021 – buuut, we’ll see visionary JUPITER in AQ taking the lead.
More about JUPITER in AQ and the JUPITER – SATURN conjunction in separate blog articles. Stay tuned.
With SATURN after the Spring / early Summer test phase now for real in AQ: What’s with Freedom in the face of F.E.A.R.? When fear strikes (well, can be applied to 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?
…which also goes with the South Node now in SAG – super activated with the TSE on Dec 14. A light switch for the end of old stories, assumptions & beliefs, and back to heart knowing.
Let’s use all our tools to transform F.E.A.R. into L*O*V*E Perfect Times for This. We got This!
Is this the Society we know? Is this the Society we want? Is this the end of Society (or even Humanity?) as we know it? How can we part of the co-creation of the New?
As it goes with AQ – the discussion has only just begun, and strands of energy and information are being woven together, as our bright & free / forward / out of the box thinking minds from a broad spectrum of Humanity (AQ), grounded in maturity, experience, and responsibility (CAP, where SATURN’s been in the last almost 3 years) need to come together, to preserve and live in Freedom (SATURN in AQ), and as we co-innovate Community and Society. From the ground up, rather than from the top down (as in some glitzy-grizzly models like ‘4th Industrial Revolution’, ‘Great Reset’ would try to sell us – doesn’t become more valid and attractive or even ‘normal’ and expected by repetition / mind programming).
This is to co-building the New, organically, as Nature intends. MARS entering TAURUS on Jan 6 and joining stat. URANUS & LILITH there on Jan 20 / 29 plus squaring SATURN & JUPITER on Jan 13 / 22 is all down with a Green, Organic Revolution for emBodying Freedom beyond ‘The System’. Such a breakthrough energy of January!
Back-and-forward tracking with SATURN:
SATURN in CAP-to-AQ
SATURN, the Archetype of the INNER ELDER / TEACHER / SAGE has just made a move, into AQ – (after a first testing / trial(!) time, March 21 – July 1), and getting ‘unfinished business’ at the end of CAP done / finishing the Old & Expired off in the Summer & Fall.
Now, it fully entered AQ on Dec 16– to be met at Winter Solstice(!) by JUPITER which follows into AQ on Dec 19! Together, they’ll start a new 20-year socio-political-economical cycle at 1º AQ, based on social justice & community building. The last JUPITER – SATURN cycle that started in May 2000 in TAU is ending this year – we exhausted it, as consumerism, materialism, capitalism & uber production with way too much waste has suffocated Mother Earth.
Stay tuned for special JUPITER in AQ and JUPITER – SATURN blog articles.
On the CAP to AQ cusp, it’s about the interface betweenPast / History and Future. Building of Community. Building of our Future – Together. Co-Innovating. Bringing our Best to Humanity.
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 precious time and resources. As this period has technically ended it’s also a good time to take stock / do an inventory & review of Dec 2017 – Dec 2020:
How have you lived up to being in your integrity? Give yourself credit for showing up in it in seriously challenging scenarios that were a test and initiation / prep for future situations.
Have you simplified your life, by saying NO to projects & esp. stuff as needed, and not needed anymore, and are you ok with living with the consequences?
Have you set healthy boundaries to people (in person and in public) who hold you back and weigh you down?
Have you put energy into what matters most to you and what brings out the best in 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 having 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? As in: your own rootedness here on Planet Earth, in your body (esp. Root Chakra), and your connection with ancestral roots (biological, Spirit ancestors, ancestors of the land)? 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 3 years?
How has your Inner Elder come out?
Checking in and reviewing would make for a good project in the present end of 2020 home bound mode many of us find ourselves in – along with taking inventory of our physical environment. Which I find very therapeutic, and it can attune to creative abundance / transformation mode rather than in the recent partly artificially created stressful scarcity / scare-city mode.
From this hopefully very GROUNDED & integral place we can move better into SATURN in AQ where contributing our Best to Community becomes super important.

Inventory can lead to re-inventing. And co-innovating. Which takes us to AQ.
Here’s where the challenge and opportunity in this global 2020 scenario lays: A crisis that seems to separate people on one level brings community and humanity together in another way – and that can lead to otherwise not ‘necessary’ 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 blocks / lock-ups, 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.
And, as spiritual teacher Krishnamurti said: Freedom without an opposite (otherwise it’s still in polarity and not true freedom!).
URANUS is also very prominent this time of the SATURN’s & JUPITER’s moves into URANIAN realms of AQ: With the Awakener Archetype Planet in TAURUS (2019 – 2026) it’s about EmBodying Freedom.
The Earth is waking us up of our materialistic / consumer ‘dream’ ‘comfort zone’ (shadows of TAU) – “Don’t stuff-ocate me!”
Flora – famous Roman fresco in Stabia
The Green Revolution is calling – from the grassroots up, por favor (not another top-down Old-New Empire propaganda)!
SATURN in AQ will square URANUS (modern ruler of AQ) in TAU not just once, but 3 times in 2021, and the alignment will be in effect Feb until June(!) and throughout December 2021 – arguably THE most important transit of the year. A clash between old ways of trying to restrain, restrict, and control humanity (incl via ‘bio disruption’) and economy, and fresh and free growth from the ground up (URANUS and LILITH in TAU).
On the Support Team
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 help us 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 Ganesha, 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.
Ganesha is in my understanding astrologically represented by a combo of SATURN & JUPITER – helping us see beyond obstacles. And hey, JUPITER enters AQ too – on Dec 19 – to meet & pass the Ringed One on Winter Solstice – There’s something SO much bigger than what we might experience with our restrictions and ‘blinders’ (also apropos South Node in SAG) if we adhere to old stories and beliefs.
A friend from Germany wrote to me earlier this year, 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: Let’s unmask(!) debilitating / paralyzing / obsessive FEAR (SATURN’s domain) first. It comes in so many disguises, and typically pretends to protect – a parental / security thing.
Humanity (AQ) has in this time of uncertainty understandably been gripped by fear (fear of the virus, of each other, of the government, of the future…). Yet, that’s still / always SATURN’s low vibration, which is ironically / obviously negatively impacting our immune system – also a SATURN function (together with PISCES / ARIES, both also very activated this passing year and beyond).
Not only is ‘ordinary human life’ / the social system 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’ – all CAP-to-AQ shadow expressions).
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 disproportional ‘overkill’ operation (the MARS – JUPITER – PLUTO – SATURN in CAP activation was on early 2020, and via square from stationary MARS / LILITH / ERIS in ARIES in Sept – so much polarizing firing and back-firing).
Plus: JUPITER aligned 3 times with PLUTO end of CAP (on Apr 4, 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 and in integrity (SATURN) – for the good of all (AQ).
With this situation ‘evolving’ – a PLUTO thing – rather than giving so much authority & power to the test / the vaccine, and those in charge (SATURN – PLUTO) it’s important now to stay in a naturally-intrinsically empowered (PLUTO) / higher vibrational level and offer that out to society. I believe that’s also socially responsible.
The Golden Rule (very AQ – LIBRA) comes handy too: When it comes to contagiousness for vulnerable people – if you were vulnerable how would you like others to behave toward you? Do that in the presence of vulnerable people. 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
I felt also 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.”
The 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 & JUPITER in early AQ will be on China’s AC.
Metal is 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, health wise on all levels, and economically. 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.
Which is linked to our Authority as Humans and as Humanity (SATURN in AQ). SATURN will move into supportive triple sextile with CHIRON in 2021: Feb 9, June 23 (active throughout June / July), and Nov 26.
More about SATURN’s contacts with other Planets in 2021 below.
URANUS Rules AQUARIUS – painting by Johfra Bosschart – Just as the 7 (chakra?) blossoms are 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, walks in spaciousness. The by now conditioned ‘social distancing’ is so apropos SATURN in AQ – yet it can still lead to random encounters with friends or ‘strangers’ (had a few of those 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 wave after wave of excessive media coverage about the symptom and ever more fear / panic / control / push-back responses let’s also investigate the systemic (very AQ) background. Many voices need to be heard, even ‘far out’ / judged ‘crazy’ ones (rather than just the old narrative, says AQ and the North Node in GEM / South Node in SAG. 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.
Another SATURN in AQ priority that had lost coverage over the passing year, due to coroni-fication:
It’s a scandal that 5G has NOT been tested for safety before installing it all over the World.
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’.
We need to protect ourselves against the harmful effects of the wireless technology grid!
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-downs of society that are hard to recover from.
Technocracy. Surveillance via giving data & authority to technology and to who’s behind it.
Societal control by an established 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 and on mental & social health.
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 showing up and leading by example.
Light Leaders stepping up and helping Humanity to awaken.
Working with light & crystal energy.
Clearing attachments to the mental collective field.
Responsibly experimenting with free thinking alternatives.
United we stand!
We the People.
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). So I’d like to touch on 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 AQ (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 – representing hope for humanity – was assassinated (qu is still: what does ‘the system’ have to do with it?!).
* 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… and the importance of: We the People.
Protective / restrictive SATURN approaching it (first for China, in 2020 / 21, then for the U.S., 2022) doesn’t bode well for Freedom. Community Leadership is called for, and even System Changes are possible. JUPITER passing SATURN in AQ can blow it up to an even ‘bigger deal’ and / or bring understanding to the issues, and help people outgrow it.
The U.S. are now also moving into their (249-year cycle) PLUTO Return (2021 – 2022 exact, has been building up). Power – intensity – shadow – transformation – regeneration from the constitutional core is all I’m saying here…
Voila, here is the Chart of SATURN entering AQUARIUS
As you see, there’s quite acelestial concentration end of CAP into AQ (which will become even stronger in CAP / AQ season in Jan / Feb), and also end of SAG, and in early TAU.
Only half of the Zodiac – from early SAG to mid-GEM is occupied / and the chart is sliced into occupied and empty parts of the Zodiac by the Nodal axis (VENUS moving into it from Dec 31 on).
And only URANUS is presently (until Jan 14) retro. Then there’ll be a retro free phase until Apr 27 (PLUTO goes retro) and May 23 (SATURN goes retro), except for MERCURY going retro in AQ Jan 30 – Feb 20. Lots of momentum, also supported by the SAG energy – esp. in certain areas.
In the passing year, ye’ve been obviously experiencing a huge deal of that late CAP conglomerate of JUPITER – SATURN – PLUTO, and the intensity of governmental / infrastructural / regulatory impact, while the ‘Old Empire’ expires.
Now, the trend goes out of CAP (except for PLUTO – still doing its transformational CAP thing until 2023 / 24) into AQ, initiated by SATURN on Dec 16, and followed by JUPITER (on Dec 19), passing SATURN on Dec 21at the epic Winter Solstice Conjunction that opens up a new 20-year socio-political-economic cycle: A New Era for our Humanity.
SATURN will go into triple square with URANUS next year, Feb 17, June 14, and Dec 23 (active Feb – June and Dec!) One of THE most important themes in the cosmic weather in 2021. See below!
Acutely, URANUS in TAU will be met & passed by LILITH – see chart – exact on Dec 23 (happens only every about 10 years). Being Free & Thriving – as our intrinsic, unconditioned, ‘Wild’ Nature, and our senses, and as Nature always ARE. Activating the Revolution / Liberation of (un?)Common Sense, down-to-Earth Values, Body Wisdom, and Free-Spiritedness After the contact, LILITH will lead, and continue to travel in TAU until July 18, 2021.
Also in the present energy field: MARS in ARIES – in its last phase until Jan 6 (has been since June 27!).
MARS comes out of a Fire Trine with MERCURY and the SUN end of SAG (was exact Dec 10 / 14) – lots of ‘War on…’ Mission, and lots of opportunity to Be the Warrior of Light and Life and Love.
The grand finale of MARS in ARIES is coming up: The square to PLUTO end of CAP, on Dec 23 (the 3rd of 3 contacts in 2020): Connecting with Soul Power, and acting from there strengthens the genuine Inner Warrior.
After MARS enters TAU it won’t get ‘calmer and quieter’ as TAU would like it. More hot stuff is being cooked up. Lots of excitement, surprises, shocks for some, liberation & paradigm shifts, and more clashes in the ‘revolutionary scene’, as… MARS squares SATURN on Jan 13, meets URANUS on Jan 20, and squares JUPITER on Jan 22 – whoa!
Let’s hear it for the
Most Important Contacts of SATURN in AQ with other Planets, end of 2020, and in 2021
It starts with the epic Winter Solstice Alignment of JUPITER and SATURN at 1º AQ – A New Era for Our Humanity. Opening a new 20-year socio-political-economic-cultural cycle.
JUPITER will pass SATURN, and take the lead for the next 10 years.
SATURN and JUPITER in AQ will be squared by MARS in TAU, between Jan 13 and 22. A clash of progressive and restrictive forces. Conflict between resisting and moving into the New.
Seasonally, MERCURY, the SUN and VENUS in AQ will pass SATURN, Jan 9, Jan 23, and Feb 5. MERCURY will be super long in the sign of the Water Bearer (where it’s exalted – its top fave place), from Jan 8 – March 15 (9 1/2 weeks!) due going retro in AQ Jan 30 – Feb 20 (without going back to meet SATURN, yet coming into its vicinity (3 1/2 º away) mid – end of Feb. So, there’ll be an energetic activation of SATURN in AQ themes (as described), via more discussion / re-consideration / examination / debate (MERCURY – SATURN), esp. scientifically and societally. Energy, attention, attraction gravitates there.
SATURN in AQ will go into triple sextile with CHIRON in ARIES, Feb 9, June 23 (with SATURN retro), and Nov 26 (with CHIRON retro).
Can Science help us with precedents in Medicine? Which Science? Which Medicine are we talking about?
SATURN in AQ makes scientific scrutiny mandatory – evidence of effects if it doesn’t happen will show up. Was Medicine(?) or rather: a fast treatment ‘shot out’ too hastily (ARIES)?
What does that have to do with the ‘War Medicine’ approach? What needs to heal about this now (CHIRON)? Societal advancement / scientific advancement SATURN in AQ) shows why.
Who calls the shots and reaps the benefits yet has to be held accountable (SATURN)?
What are repercussions (SATURN)?
SATURN in AQ will go into triple square with URANUS (the modern Ruler of AQ) in TAURUS, Feb 17, June 14 (with SATURN retro), and Dec 23 (with URANUS retro). The alignment will be active Feb – June and Dec! One of THE most important themes in the cosmic weather in 2021.
A conflict between social / societal control / regulation / reglementation / responsibility and embodying Freedom?
Clash between control of society / organization / planning of ‘The System’ by elite authority figures and organic liberation?
Technocracy vs Biosphere? ‘Bio-Security’?!
(More?) Disruptive effects on the economy having dire / challenging consequences for society / humanity?
Bio disruption – where is freedom? And what are the effects on Nature and the future of our beautiful Planet?
Our authority and responsibility as humans and as humanity – to heal rather than to create more trauma.
Spiritual teachings about liberation – emBodying them in community and in the human web.
SATURN in AQ goes into Air Trine with the North Node in GEMINI, exact on Apr 24. Time to discuss, for open dialogue, to ask questions, offer information, learn from each other – in a post-hierarchical / post-controlling society – wouldn’t that be great?!
SATURN will (as every year) go retro for 4 1/2 months, May 23 – Oct 10, 2020. In the range between 13º 31′ – 6º 53 AQ.
A time to go inward-backward, into personal experience, and with SATURN also into societal history, to evaluate lessons and how they have strengthened out inner authority and responsibility – as part of our human network, rather than giving it away to external forces.
More about it of course, as we get closer to the happening.
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 more than 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.
And JUPITER travels through as well throughout 2021 – not just tests and challenges, but lots of opportunities coming your way in those areas of life.

If you were born between Jan 1962 – March 1964, and Sept – Dec 1964, this will be your 2nd SATURN Return (round age 57 – 59).
And if you were born between March – Aug 1932, and Dec 1932 – Feb 1935 you’ll have your 3rd SATURN Return (round age 86 – 88).
Full Circle to be in your Natural Authority, and to show up in your best in community & society! Could be a good time to check in with trusted cosmic reference & co-exploration.
Blessings to all of us for the epic Winter Solstice, and an uplifting, light bringing finale of 2020, with SATURN leading on into AQ, followed and passed by JUPITER!
May the challenges bring out our Best, and strengthen our natural networks of friendship, community, and in the Human Team!

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.
If you’d like to tune in astrologically, whether there’s an outer ‘occasion’ and change, or you just have ‘that calling’ I invite you to get in touch. I’m happy to support you being re-aligned and re-empowered, on your own path, and in relationships.

Online Astro Co-EmBODYment of the Winter SoUlstice 2020 & JUPITER-SATURN in AQ
On DEC 22 2:22 – 4:04 PM (approx)
…we step into the energies of the Planetary Archetypes, where they’re at Winter Solstice (the slow ones in the years ahead), incl. / esp. the epic JUPITER – SATURN alignment, feel out their energy, and share it in a (closed) online circle! So much direct inner guidance can come from emBodying the planetary energies (like: being IN Nature vs discussing the conditions) – very apropos SATURN.
Countdown for SATURN end of CAP will go from retro (since May 10 – Mother’s Day) direct, on Sept 28 / 29 – a ‘Saturn Date’ since it has a 28-29-year cycle!
SATURN will be in direct mode / going forward from Earth perspective until May 23, 2021 – by then in AQ (which it’ll enter on Dec 17, 2020 – a big deal). This is the regular SATURN ‘rhythm’ – retro for 4-5 months, direct for 7-8 months.
But hey!
Has it EVER been an unusual, intensified, historic SATURN / CAP year 2020!
SATURN caught up with PLUTO on Jan 12 – their epochal conjunction (every 37-38 years, last time in Nov 1982 and – almost – July 1983, yet in CAP not since 1518 when the Protestant Reformation started) marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new one: The Old Empire Expires.
JUPITER catches up with PLUTO 3 times in 2020:
Apr 4 (both Planets were going forward then), June 29 (both Planets retro), and once again on Nov 12 (both Planets forward again).
Hubble: SATURN Sequence
…while SATURN is hanging out in the late CAP Zodiac vicinity in 2020, showing us where the issues are, esp. re: what it takes to get the work done, and also how authority & control are being used and what the effects are. SATURN is the karma planet.
The slow U-turn ‘station’ of the ‘Ringed Reaper’ makes mid-Sept to early Oct quite a SATURN phase – with everything Saturnian highlighted: Being in integrity, doing the ground work, setting boundaries and priorities, and using time, energy, and resources well, rather than wasting / abusing.
And, the turnaround date will be just 3 days before the Harvest Moon on Oct 1.
Harvest, on so many levels, foremost Spiritual Harvest, is clearly the theme this month.
SATURN’s Job with the Planetary ‘Titans’ PLUTO and JUPITER as well as URANUS, this Year
SATURN in its retro phase since May 10 – which was also Mother’s Day (well, SATURN has to do with mom too – since it’s also about parenting, protection, and The Matrix), and now at the end of its own ruled sign CAPRICORN (Dec 20, 2017 – Dec 16, 2020) has shown us what has served its purpose, is outlived (been there, done that) and redundant, and must transform – like falling leaves…
With the VIRGO undertone of late CAP (if you’re curious about my system of decanantes ask me) this relates to the work we’re here to do, to make the world a better place (not a worse place that what we found it in – SATURN shows us the evidence either way…).
Whereas shadow phenomena of late CAP (with VIRGO undertone) are:
To over-fret / over-do the micromanagement out of fear, or to neglect what really does have priority.
Master and servant / slave mentality, on the societal pyramid.
Plus, taking unnecessary or even harmful control and substitute the work that Nature does so much better than human ‘engineering’.
Ok, ok, we’ve seen a LOT of that shadow expression already, esp. this SATURN / PLUTO year.
SATURN – URANUS
Maverick Planet URANUS (NASA)
This also corresponds with URANUS now in early TAU which has a CAP undertone: Wake up, Earthlings!
From the economy of greed, to the detriment of Mother Earth!
And from our own investment in / allegiance to the system, and our attachment to the ‘goodies’ it provides – to the privileged ones in the ‘pyramid’.
The SATURN – URANUS combo reflects sobering wake-up calls, and a call for societal change.
How can we emBody Freedom, take Leadership, and model by example?
We’ve seen and experienced enough evidence to know by now about lack of responsibility and mature leadership, and of old, RE-curring frustrating patterns of abuse and disrespect.
Call it patriarchy, call it elitism, call it top-down bossing – all shadow phenomena of CAP.
Still, everything is a teaching… How can we use even those SATURN retro lessons for the highest purpose, and what do they call forth in us?
All the ‘NO’s of the last months have been showing us what’s complete, and gave us RE-minders of what not to RE-vert back to. Time to disengage from creating more karmic debt.
SATURN – PLUTO
PLUTO (New Horizons Mission 2015)
You might also feel grief, sadness, or even depression over an Old World dying…
While a ‘World Order’ of extended control is happening behind the scenes – a PLUTO in CAP theme.
Is there an evolution (call it evil-ution?) going on while the apparently obvious issues are cover-ups?
What’s your position in all this?
How do you get drawn into low vibrations?
What does transformation look like in you?
Where is your power?
PLUTO and SATURN have ‘sat’ very close to each other in CAP all year, after SATURN finally met and passed PLUTO on Jan 12.
Before the ‘event’ I wrote: “My sense is, the agenda of power structures becomes more evident than ever – a reality check of enormous proportions.” Here we go, it’s 2020.
SATURN – PLUTO represent a 38-year cycle of societal structural breakdown, purging of the shadow, and rebuilding from the core / basics. The last alignments happened in 1947 in LEO, and 1982 / 83 in late LIBRA. The 2019 / 20 one in late CAP is close to the U.S. PLUTO – and corresponds with the 1st PLUTO Return of the U.S. (exact 2020 – 2022).
Sabian Symbol of SATURN’s Turnaround Degree
SATURN will turn direct at 25°20′ CAP.
Sambu-ichi Yushi Spring Water Crystal – Dr. Emoto’s Language of Water Research
26° CAPRICORN says: “A NATURE SPIRIT DANCING IN THE IRIDESCENT MIST OF A WATERFALL.
KEYNOTE:The ability to perceive the hidden and creative spirit of natural phenomena.
The Sabian symbols make several references to nature spirits Here we are dealing with the revelation of the spiritual or psychic forces related to the element water. Water binds all living cells in a wholesome interplay. It symbolizes the constant flow of vital energies, the fluidity of a consciousness which finds itself stimulated by change. The great cycle of water within the earth’s biosphere (oceans, clouds, rain, river) symbolizes the basic phases of universal life processes, the ascent and descent of emotional energies and of love. We can personify these phases and speak of “the soul of nature,” and at a cosmic level of “the World-Soul,” anima mundi. Water is the substance of the telluric manifestations of this soul. It is a magical substance, and modern chemists are rediscovering in their study of its unusual behavior in certain situations what old Alchemists in their own way no doubt understood.
This is the first stage of the sixtieth sub-cycle, and it presents us with a deep intuition of super-physical energies which at the end of this five-fold sequence we will see fully mastered (Phase 300). The consciousness here becomes sensitized to the downward flow of OCCULT ENERGY in its bountiful natural aspect.”
Yes, CAPRICORN rules the wise and respectful use of the gifts of Nature – in the highest and best ways.
Sometimes – like these -, humanity has to come to the edge for a karmic turnaround. From extreme ways of abuse / exploitation / subordination of nature as of ‘inferior beings’ to humbly (VIRGO) return to what’s always been there and ready to help us – in natural ways.
Which brings us back to the motto for SATURN going direct again:
Now, what ARE we Building?
As mentioned, Sept to Oct is an important SATURN time showing us what it takes to turn things around, and to turn the focus from (huge a la JUPITER and deep seated a la PLUTO) problems / obstacles to solutions.
It may well start with a commitment – SATURN is the ‘Ringed One’ after all.
What’s the commitment you’re making with yourself and others these days???
Maybe you’re renewing your relationship vows? Would be beautifully supported in the LIBRA month and SATURN’s turnaround.
So many blessings extended for your committed partnership! ❤
Of course, SATURN direct is also much better for starting / building businesses, signing contracts, etc. Anything that’s meant to last and to be rock solid – it’s SATURN, and it’s CAP, after all.
However, I’d suggest to wait until the LIBRA New MOON on Oct 17 to actually go forward with such projects. By then, PLUTO has also turned around (on Oct 4). Yes, MERCURY will be retro from Oct 13 on – and the ‘New Mercury’ / alignment with the SUN will be on Oct 25. Yes, even better after that.
Where is SATURN’s Turnaround happening in Your Chart & Life?
The House in your (birth or relocation) chart that contains end-of-CAP is the ‘Scene of Affairs’.
As you read this maybe you have your SUN, MOON, AC, or Planets in CAP, or even late CAP?

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.
If you’d like to tune in astrologically, whether there’s an outer ‘occasion’ and change, or you just have ‘that calling’ I invite you to get in touch. I’m happy to support you being re-aligned and re-empowered, on your own path, and in relationships.

SAT OCT 3
10:03 AM – 3:33 PM
Here’s the FB event link.
Join us in person (max 2 people) in Victoria, or online from anywhere.
It’s Day One of SATURN backing off, out of AQUARIUS (since yesterday eve) – and going back into its own domain of super earthy CAPRICORN.
The AIR is cleared. And for the time being, VENUS in GEMINI (now also out of retro) is the one planet in an Air sign.
It almost feels like a spell on the World and over the Zeitgeist is lifted, and we can see through the heavy cloud that was hanging over Humanity (as a friend with her Moon in AQ said earlier this year)! Also compliments JUPITER & PLUTO both presently retro end of CAP, who united again (for the 2nd of 3 times this year) on June 29. Deep shadow becomes obvious – and help for its transformation is available too. It might be simpler than we think, and starts with the inside job…
With the ‘test drive’ of SATURN in AQ from Spring Equinox, March 21, until… yesterday July 1, so much contagious and constantly reinforced fear was constraining Humanity, and everything Aquarian has felt so restricted:
Breathing space and freedom, coming together in circles and community, being social – in real life! – with friends, like-spirited people and strangers, solidarity, trusting in a better future for and in Humanity.
May this phase – as hard as it was – serve us all to appreciate how important these basic values are that make us human!
SATURN goes now back through the tail end of its own ruled energy of CAP (up to 25°) by Sept 28 / 29 (a SATURN date, since it has a 29-year cycle), forward / direct again, and remain in CAP until Dec 16.
SATURN will come once again, esp in Sept / Oct into close encounter with PLUTO, without ‘touching’ it (like in Spring 2019 – their conjunction was Jan 12 this year – and we know it!). The Old Empire does expire.
What’s our inner job in this?
JUPITER has been now super close to PLUTO too, making sure we can see where power (PLUTO) is misplaced, and how important deep real, fundamental transformation is.
On Dec 19, JUPITER leaves CAP too, to align with SATURN on Dec 21 / Winter Solstice(!) – and this Great Conjunction starts a new 20-year socio-cultural-political-economic cycle – from the first degree of AQ!
So this is the very last phase now, until mid-December – and for the looong run – , to come into alignment with our highest potential, be on purpose for the highest good, and BE the Change.
The World and our Future need it.
SATURN / JUPITER / PLUTO all now retro until mid-Sept to early Oct say: It’s not even so much about doing / adding more but about dropping and eliminating what’s not ‘the real thing’.
Grounding and very pragmatic times, with SATURN now back in CAP.
Doing the ground work – maybe literally: gardening, working with the land and Mother Earth.
Not wasting time and energy on what doesn’t work or doesn’t help. Sorting out, simplifying.
Solidifying what does work, what lasts / sustains, what has passed the tests of time, and makes us resilient.
Re-connecting with Ancestors, asking for their guidance and their support.
Being rooted and grounded in the deepest Self.
May the upcoming months serve to work with all the lessons we’ve gleaned from this recent experience / experiment.
May we integrate them into our own rooted experience and really use them for the highest purpose – whatever that may be for each one of us – so that we can bring our Best (CAP) together into what we share and co-create (AQ)!
May we use the wisdom of the past for the present so that a new future may emerge!
SATURN in late CAP (together with JUPITER & PLUTO) in Your Chart & Life…
…will ‘shape up’ your SUN, MOON, AC, or Planetary Archetypes in late CAP, and the area/s of life relating to the House/s where ARIES is in your birth (and local) chart/s.
Don’t take too much on – physically and mentally-emotionally. Don’t be the scapegoat.
Simplify, complete, and free up time and energy for priorities in these areas of life – what matters most?

And – a la GEMINI – Astrology is a fascinating language, and there’s so much to learn from / with it. Come over / let’s meet online, for your private Astro session!
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 16Then 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.
Crystal activated Voyager Tarot card Man of Crystals – Inventor
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!
Springy Lands – woohoo, with a pink ray – Photo by Melanie March 2020
Voila, here is the Chart of SATURN entering AQUARIUS:
As you see, it’s quite acelestial 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.

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!

Dear Ones, What a Full Moon Wave has been building up!
Yes, the Full MOON will be in PISCES – late PISCES that-is, which also has a PISCES undertone (ask me about these decanates = segments in each sign if you wonder…).
And it comes with NEPTUNE aka Poseidon, Ruler of the Sea – and of PISCES, plus with LILITH (sorta) commonly known as ‘Wild Woman Archetype’ or rather: Our Wild & Free unconditioned Nature.
Wow, that’s a mouthful of alignments – Big Wave ‘material’ indeed.
And we’ve already seen in the meteo weather huge rogue waves, caused by Hurricane Dorian whose force was devastating on the Bahamas, having recently also reached Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
Thankfully, the ‘crest of the wave’ will be reached with the Full MOON in oceanic PISCES!
Japanese Master Katsushika Hokusai: Great Wave of Kanagawa
So, what does the PISCES – VIRGO FULL MOON with all her ‘Entourage’ deliver astro-energetically ?
Many attributes.
Many factors involved.
FULL MOON with NEPTUNE & LILITH towards the end of PISCES
SUN with MARS, and MERCURY / VENUS (united on the FM day) towards the end of VIRGO
A Mutable T-square to JUPITER in SAG
It comes in a rare ‘Mystic Rectangle’ – a relief from the sharp T-square.
Very mutable, and the last day of 0 Planets in AIR signs
Friday the 13th – won’t correspond with a Full MOON again until 2049. Please find a myth debunking and Goddess honouring piece about that superstition in this article.
It’s the Harvest Moon 2019 – the closest FM to Fall Equinox (on Sept 23).
It catalyzes MERCURY & VENUS to enter LIBRA together, on Sept 14.
It catalyzes SATURN (a Harvest Planet) to go out of retro / direct again, on Sept 18.
It catalyzes the 3rd and final square 2019 between JUPITER & NEPTUNE, exact on Sept 21.
It catalyzes the Union of LILITH & NEPTUNE in PISCES, on Oct 1.
Harvest Moon
So here you go – the long VIRGO ‘laundry list’ of this massive ‘System’!
The Full Moon will be astronomically a ‘Micro FM’, not as ‘usual’ a large-to see (if at all, weather wise) Harvest MOON.
Reason: The NEW MOONs on July 31, Aug 30, and Sept 28 are SuperMOONs – closest to Earth in the lunar orbit (with Aug 30 having been the closest SuperMOON) – hence the corresponding FULL MOONs are in the lunar orbit furthest away from the Earth, and smaller than usual.
Let’s sort out, break down, and thread together (a la VIRGO) what these factors and patterns are about – and esp:
What would help YOU to be in alignment with the cosmic patterns, to ‘ride the waves in integrity, rather than getting overwhelmed or swept away…
Best to start with illustrating it all with the
Chart of the FULL MOON – the picture says a lot!
The exact FULL MOON – last one of Summer 2019 – will be on Fri Sept 13 at 9:33 pm PDT / Sat Sept 14 at 5:33 am GDT.
It really IS quite a powerful image of the present energy system!
Looks like Balance is much needed!
‘Even’ Elements wise – soo much EARTH – all Earth signs activated through Planets, Nodes, and the VIRGO SUN – and not a single Planet in AIR (‘Luft’) signs (already since early July, when VENUS left GEMINI).
Good news for the Astro oxygen:
The shift comes on the day after, when MERCURY & VENUS ‘hand in hand’ move into LIBRA, on Sept 14, to bring a breath of fresh AIR, and emphasize on Balance. See my fresh & comprehensive blog post about it. You can find the MERCURY / VENUS feature also below in these ASTRO~NEWS, as a separate feature of the ASTRO~WEATHER.
Lots of Mutability (Flexibel in German) / nothing in Fixed signs, except for URANUS in TAURUS – a ‘Singleton’ and also unaspected. Which could translate into: Hold ON, as unexpected changes can happen. But as you know, I don’t feed fear. Yet it would be good to acknowledge what’s cooking in us… On a higher vibration: Lots of openness & movement that allows for freedom from attachments.
As you see, the PISCES MOON is super close to NEPTUNE &LILITH in PISCES– catalyzing their union (every about 10 years) on Oct 1.
Now, that’s a Big Wave of Interconnectedness.
The Nature of the Universe, and our True Nature is ‘Wild & One’ – nothing is separate, all is connected, inviting us to relax & surrender into the Unifying Field of Love. On a global & collective level we now hopefully really ‘get it’ that we live in One World – an expression of the Web of Life.
All the VIRGO energy on the Solar side of the equation (MARS, SUN, MERCURY / VENUS – both on the very cusp to LIBRA where they go into the next day) says:
“Yes! And what are we going to do about this?”
“Where are the issues, and what are the choices to be made now?”
This would of course also directly relate to the upcoming federal elections in Canada on Oct 21 – second-last day with the SUN in LIBRA, and ‘as usual’ close to the ‘Tipping Point’ into SCORPIO.
Personally, with all the late VIRGO (= ‘double’ VIRGO) energy we’re called to be in ‘vertical’ alignment with our Higher Self – prerequisite to go into ‘horizontal’ alignment with what / who’s a good match for us. What’s the ‘work on Self’ / on-going practice you’re reminded of and get energy for now?
Of course, with the PISCES energy ‘across’ it’s all about Spiritual Practice. And really: All can be Spiritual Practice.
An on-going Spiritual Harvest.
SATURN in CAP, one of the main ‘Players’ in Sept has something to say about the Harvest too… later / further down in the ASTRO~NEWS (SATURN is good at waiting – but reminds us to not wait TOO long).
Poseidon / Neptune, in the Harbour of Havana, where the Malecon starts…. Photo from Journey in Cuba in 2012 (when NEPTUNE entered PISCES)
The FULL MOON forms a T-Square to JUPITER in SAG – can you see it? The energy for this pattern started with the square from the SUN to JUPITER on Sept 8, and ends with the square # 3 this year, exact on Sept 21,between JUPITER in its own sign SAG & NEPTUNE in its own sign PISCES, catalyzed by the FULL MOON. So, effectively, most of September, at least the VIRGO period is affected by the mutable T-square.
The JUPITER / NEPTUNE combo is the bigger backdrop (important to keep perspective about that!) which presently challenges / is being challenged by the VIRGO side.
A dynamic that’s been on all year, with highlights in January, June, and September.
The two Planets in their ruled signs, and combined, remind us of blessings, miracles, grace, gratitude, trust and faith – an uplifting and unifying energy when we see the big picture (JUPITER) that connects (NEPTUNE).
Have you been tapping into it? A ‘saving grace’ when the going gets tough (a la SO much CAP this year, esp in January), and when there are SO many issues to keep track of (a la SO much VIRGO this month).
So, in this very VIRGO time, how about – for a change from the busy-ness: Praying, asking for help (humans, angels, spirit guides), taking rest, going for a walk, being out there, esp. by the water…?

Hubble: Saturn Sequence
As you see (if you have a trained eye for it, otherwise, trust me):
In the FULL MOON configuration there’s not just the mutable T-square to JUPITER but also a ‘Mystic Rectangle’, formed by the Full Moon axis, and the Nodal axis, with SATURN / the Lunar South Node in CAP, and the Lunar North Node in CANCER. Sooo much about the MOON, the Nodes, and: SATURN.
The ‘Ringed One’ will also turn direction from retro (since late Apr) to direct / forward in the Zodiac from Earth perspective, on Sept 18.
Now, that’s clearly also a multiple Harvest theme:
SATURN ‘reaps’ old karma, old patterns, lessons learned, baggage dropped. Esp. in the (last days) of retro.
Would be great to do an inventory (esp. on the FM weekend) of old patterns we commit to leave behind, and to take ownership (rather than blaming and projecting) for what’s our responsibility.
And what’s with that ‘Mystic Rectangle’? ‘Blue’ on the outside – Trines & Sextiles between the Planets and Nodes in VIR, CAP, CAN, and PISCES. Yet ‘Red’ oppositions / polarities in the inside.
A signature of the Mystic: While there’s inner tension to overcome dualities there’s outer harmony & peace.
Hopefully the Spiritual Harvest shows that all dualities and polarities are illusion, has us go into (CAP) judgment / resentment, and other heavy energies – where it always comes down to: the separate person is the sufferer, while there’s just ONE of us here.
Also the message of the PISCES MOON with LILITH & NEPTUNE….
Blessings for the Spiritual Harvest that this Full Moon attunes us to!
If you’d like to tune in astrologically, whether there’s an outer ‘occasion’ and change, or you just have ‘that calling’ I invite you to get in touch. I’m happy to support you being re-aligned and re-empowered, on your own path, and in relationships.

Countdown for SATURN in mid-CAP going from retro (since Apr 29) direct, on Sept 18!
SATURN will be in direct mode / going forward from Earth perspective until May 10, 2020. This is the regular SATURN ‘rhythm’ – retro for 4-5 months, direct for 7-8 months.
Hubble: Saturn Sequence
The turnaround of the ‘Ringed Reaper’ makes September quite a SATURN month!
Aaand, it’ll be just 5 days after the Harvest Moon on Sept 13 / 14.
Harvest, on so many levels, foremost Spiritual Harvest, is clearly the theme this month.
Firstly, let’s give the ‘Old Guy’ some credit for its job this year:
SATURN’s Job with the Planetary ‘Titans’ URANUS, PLUTO, and NEPTUNE, plus with the Lunar South Node Node this Year
SATURN in its retro phase since Apr 29 (yep, that’s the SATURN #, with its 29-year cycle), and in the centre of its own ruled sign CAPRICORN (Dec 20, 2017 – Dec 19, 2020) has shown us what has served its purpose, is outlived (been there, done that) and redundant.
With the TAURUS undertone of central CAP (ask me if you’re curious about my system of decanantes) this relates a lot to ‘stuff’ and our attachments to ownership.
Maverick Planet Uranus (NASA)
And it corresponds with URANUS now in early TAUwhich has a CAP undertone: Wake up, Earthlings!
From the economy of greed, to the detriment of Mother Earth!
And from our own investment in the system, and our attachment to the ‘goodies’ it provides – to the privileged.
The SATURN – URANUS combo reflects sobering wake-up calls, and a call for societal change.
How can we emBody Freedom, take Leadership, and model by example?
We’ve seen and experienced enough evidence to know by now about lack of responsibility and mature leadership in place, and of old, RE-curring frustrating patterns of abuse and disrespect.
Call it patriarchy, call it elitism, call it top-down bossing – all shadow phenomena of CAP.
Still, everything is a teaching…how can we use even those SATURN retro lessons for the highest purpose, and what do they call forth in us? All the ‘NO’s of the last months have been showing us what’s complete, and gave us RE-minders of what not to RE-vert back to.
Time to disengage from creating more karmic debt.
Lunar South Node Glyph
Speaking of karma, the (always retro moving) ‘karmic’ South Node is presently also in CAP (Nov 2018 – June 2020), and has been travelling super close to the retro moving SATURN in Spring / Summer 2019.
An unmistakable double-karmic call for boundaries, closures, endings, being done with ‘the old’, and to drop ‘excess weight’ of judgment, resistance, and fears which feed into new loops… The ‘Old Empire’ IS indeed expiring.
From Oct on, the super karmic link between SATURN and the South Node ends – as the Nodes continue to go retro in CAP while SATURN moves forward in CAP from Earth perspective. Hopefully a lot of ‘closure work’ has been done by then, and we know more clearly where we stand, and stand in it. Yes,
SATURN rules the Root Chakra.
PLUTO (New Horizons Mission 2015)
You might also feel grief, sadness, or even depression over an Old World dying – while a ‘World Order’ of extended control is happening behind the scenes – a PLUTO in CAP theme.
Is there an evolution – call it evil-ution? – going on while the obvious issues are cover-ups?
What’s your position in all this?
How do you get drawn into low vibrations?
What does transformation look like in you?
Where is your power?
PLUTO and SATURN have ‘sat’ very close to each other in CAP this Spring also, and SATURN will finally meet and pass PLUTO on Jan 12, 2020. My sense is, the agenda of power structures becomes more evident than ever – a reality check of enormous proportions.
SATURN – PLUTO represent a 38-year cycle of societal structural breakdown, purging of the shadow, and rebuilding from the core / basics. The last alignments happened in 1947 in LEO, and 1982 / 83 in late LIBRA. The 2019 / 20 one in late CAP is close to the U.S. PLUTO – and corresponds with the 1st PLUTO Return of the U.S.
More about SATURN / PLUTO as we get closer to the alignment which is of course already in the making.
Neptunian ‘Portrait’ by NASA’s Hubble – Doesn’t it look tie dyed? 🙂
SATURN in its own sign CAP is also in triple-sextile with NEPTUNE in its own sign PISCES (2012 – 2026) this year: Exact dates Jan 31, June 18 (under SATURN retro), and Nov 8.
How we show up in our best (SATURN in CAP) has also to do with Compassion, and rather than feeding judgment and separation (shadow of SATURN) being in forgiveness, Oneness and Connection with what-IS.
Perhaps the last alignment (active throughout June) has shown you what the old modus was and how that needed to be released. In the last phase of their connection (in effect in Nov) we can demonstrate what works better and is in the flow of Life.
The Sabian Symbol of SATURN’s Turnaround Degree
SATURN will turn direct at 13°55′ CAP.
14° CAPRICORN says:
“AN ANCIENT BAS-RELIEF CARVED IN GRANITE REMAINS A WITNESS TO A LONG-FORGOTTEN CULTURE.
Demeter / Ceres Relief
KEYNOTE:
The will to unearth, in our culture as well as in any culture, what has permanent value, and to let go of non-essentials.
At a time when in nearly every land humans are questioning and challenging the validity of traditional beliefs and customary attitudes, it becomes necessary to separate permanent values and great principles or symbols from the many individual habits and the socio-political developments which more often than not have perverted or even negated the original ideals of the culture. We must strive to free these ideals from the wild growth of personal and class selfishness, from the greed and ambition so prevalent in human nature, and learn to appreciate the excellence of what is the immortal seed-foundation, as well as the spiritual harvest, of any culture — and by extension of every sustained and complete work produced by a humanity’s indomitable effort to achieve creative perfection.
In this fourth stage symbol we are shown the procedure which enables us to gain a deep and thorough appreciation of socio-cultural processes in their most enduring forms. What is needed is a penetrating and courageous insight founded upon a valid HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE. This applies to the past of an individual’s life as well as to the history of a nation or a group.”
Dane Rudhyar’s interpretative text from 1973(!) here is ever so relevant and timely now!
Yes, CAPRICORN rules time and history. And SATURN in CAP admonishes us to learn from socio-cultural history (as well as from individual karma), and also to honour and cultivate (a la CERES / DEMETER) quality, legacies and traditions that have passed the tests of time. And to beware damaging effects and guard from them. Hence it also rules law and all things protective.
So, bottom line:
What’s our historic perspective on things we struggle with or judge and say NO to?
What can we do to prevent things go further down a certain road?
How do we need to show up?
Which brings us back to the SATURN direct motto:
Now, what ARE we Building?
As mentioned, SEPTEMBER is an important SATURN month showing us what it takes to turn things around, and to turn the focus from problem / obstacle to solution.
It may well start with a commitment – SATURN is the ‘Ringed One’ after all.
What’s the commitment you’re making with yourself and others these days???
Some people I know are getting married this month or next – LIBRA is also the month of relationship & sacred wedding.
Great examples for SATURN’s turnaround.
So many blessings extended for your committed partnership! ❤
Of course, SATURN direct is also much better for starting / building businesses, signing contracts, etc. Anything that’s meant to last and to be rock solid – it’s SATURN, and it’s CAP, after all.
However, I’d suggest to wait until the LIBRA New MOON on Sept 28 to actually go forward with such projects.
Where is SATURN’s Turnaround happening in Your Chart & Life?

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 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’m always happy to 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.
