Saturn turns direct
July 20 4:45pm EDT
Saturn has been
in Scorpio for two years and for the last six months it has been
retrograde. Normally this placement
would be the big talking point in most astrology columns. But frankly we have
all been so focused on the cardinal crosses for the last couple years it is
hard to get worked up over little ol’ Saturn.
Now as the cardinal energy starts to dissipate ---a bit—we can turn our
attention to Saturn. Saturn goes direct
on July 20th. Saturn is our
dad, the boss, the disciplinarian, the broom that sweeps out the
ineffective. It is also our
responsibility and our burdens. In
Scorpio, Saturn can bring out deep –seated fears and some are responding by
trying to control their world. Good luck
mircro managing humans. With Saturn in
Scorpio we should look at the psychological habits that no longer serve. This is very similar to the energy of Pluto
in Capricorn. Actually we are in a
period called ‘mutual reception’ when
two planets are in each other’s ruling signs.
Saturn rules Capricorn but he is in Scorpio. Pluto rules Scorpio but he is in Capricorn.
They are like cosmic bookends holding up one shelf on one topic. The topic in this case is—to find real
empowerment, get rid of crap that no longer serves and evolve! Or, to put it a bit more succinct, “Evolution
is critical even if it kills you.” And
no it won’t kill you but those bad habits should most certainly die. Saturn in Scorpio speaks to money, debt, co
mingled funds, sex, power, taxes, death (& rebirth). It is a sign of extremes. Where are we hanging on to grey when we
should go for black & white? As
tough as Saturn sounds it does reward hard work. It may be a long haul but remember Saturn
delays it does not deny. And the gift of
Saturn in Scorpio will not return to us again for 28 years. When Saturn moves into Sagittarius in late
December it will be a whole new game.
Religious zealots will be in the news for sure. God help us if religious wars kick in on a
new level. But whatever it is, the
focus on your little savings account, your sex, your co-mingled funds and your
evolution will not be of importance. Not
at all, so do what you can now for the next six months to get your evolution in
play. And for Godsakes sweep out the psychological cobwebs.
Uranus turns retrograde
July 21 10:35pm EDT
Uranus turns
retrograde the day after Saturn makes his move, Uranus turns retrograde on July
21st at 17 Aries and will go back to 12 degrees Aries. Anyone with planets between those degrees of
cardinal signs should be aware that there is stuff being churned up. Even for the rest of us we are all working
out Uranus. Uranus is brilliant and
eccentric but he can be abrupt and rough.
We have all been dealing with Uranus in Aries since 2010 and we will
continue to slog it out until 2019.
Aries is about new beginnings, new paths and new roads. He is also about new fights. And Uranus is about change and
revolution. Uranus spends half of every
year in retrograde. He is hunting for
things that hold him back. Shackles
will be shaken. Yes, sometimes the
problems are real but sometimes Uranus in Aries just needs to stop its hatin’. It is hard to tell this to Uranus in Aries
but villains are not everywhere. Or at
the very least perhaps it is important to look at internal villains. During the retrograde we will see areas that
need our attention for sure. Changes
that need to be made will perhaps get our focus. Great.
However we will also see where some of us have pursued misguided
revolts. Who stirred things up that
maybe went too far? But on the good
side it is sometimes nothing like a noisy Cra-Cra situation to wake up the
sleep. Or the people who ‘don’t want to
get involved.’ Suddenly they have a
horse in the race. There is a lot to
watch and participate in between now and late December when it turns
direct. If you are confused about what
side to fight ask people whom you respect and see where they fall. But at the end of the day make your own
decision.
