Many
friends are asking me what is wrong and looking for some understanding of why
they feel so lost in a tunnel of darkness.
You will not understand what Saturn in Scorpio is until you are out of
the tunnel and can see how much integrity you have gained by having to stand
tall in the face of loss, until you can look back at the dark place behind you, and see the sign decorated
with snakes, lizards and creepy arachnids that says “Scorpio.” You will not believe me, I know, because I
did not believe it when I first came to astrology. You will not understand the need to push your
own agenda, in the face of everyone doing the same damn thing, until Uranus
passes into Taurus, the energy dissipates, and you can look back at the red
flag, satisfied that you gave it your best, and see the past from the new
present and say, “ohhhh that’s what they mean by Uranus in the sign of the head
butting Ram.” Nature is having its way
with us.
Another post without a
chart. Mercury is almost caught up with Neptune in the beginning of Pisces.
Unrealistic expectations are being communicated. Mercury is now in Pisces for good, which is
like saying a yo yo is up for good, but really, this is Mercury’s complete annual
passage through the sign of vision as compared to the little taste Feb
1-12. Mercury the communicator prefers
real data to hopeful/fearful anecdotes and wishful thinking. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do. This is the spring of the mind, and mine has
certainly sprung. I sent an email to
Senator Warren today asking for her birthtime, from a document such as a birth
certificate; so I have done my Mercury in Pisces duty and communicated an
unrealistic request.
Neptune is at nearly 6degrees Pisces, so these are very powerful
years for the planet of persuasion, and now logistical minds are getting swept
up in the current right and left.
Mercury today is 3degrees Pisces about to catch the big wave. Whose perception of reality will roll with it,
whose will get tubed in the crest, and whose will wipe out?
I am working on a series of
charts for March 30 when we will have 3 planets in Aries- Sun (1) and Moon (2),
lined up with Uranus (3). This is nothing
like last year’s Sun lined up with Mars April 17, or the five planet pile up of
April 3, 2011 when Uranus was just beginning its protracted
occupation of Aries, and got a yearlong visit from Jupiter, a 5 week fist pump
from Mars, along with the regular scheduled passage of the Spring Sun
accompanied by a courageous new moon. Check out the
headlines for those dates to recall how planets in the Aries twelfth of heaven are
experienced by folks on the ground looking up.
Back in 2011 Saturn was in
Libra, so things were a lot more transparent and a lot more innocent. Saturn entered Scorpio Nov 2012, coming under
passive rule by the planet of war, so the aggression has gotten progressively
more canny. Sex, death and investment
are all filed under the same sign in astrology; Scorpio. If we didn’t die we wouldn’t need to
reproduce. We could just think of
investment as putting vegetables up from the garden. Since we’re talking about Saturn in Scorpio
(instead of the Sun) we need to imagine these vittles stockpiled for a lean
period of at least 10 years. They can’t
just be thrown in a baggie and tossed in the freezer; even Ball Jars are a bit
dicey if those vegetables are really important.
Saturn in Scorpio can be
translated as Integrity spending 2 ½ years wandering around in the labyrinth
wondering if it will ever again see the light of day. (Then when it does see
the light of day in Sagittarius it must cope with the uncertainty of strange
new territory.) With Uranus in Aries the
quiet of Saturn in deep dark places is laced with the muffled explosions of new
life unfolding above.
Saturn was in Scorpio from
Aug 1983-Nov 1985, Nov 1953- Sept 1956; Daddy in the cave where he hides his
secret weapons. And then of course there
were the years when Neptune was in Scorpio 1957-1969; Uranus Sept 1975-Jan 1981,
and Pluto 1984-1994. Astrologically, the
years with outer planets in Scorpio are darker and more mysterious than the
years of WW1 and WW2.
One last thing, which I keep
repeating because it is so important, Pluto in Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. That is like the exile contracting with an
official of significant rank. But Saturn
is in Scorpio, so the official with rank is not in power, but must answer to
the warrior or hero. This means Pluto is
indirectly under the influence of the warrior/hero. It adds up to 3 outer planets (Saturn, Uranus and Pluto) ultimately
under the influence of Mars.
We are stuck in this highly militarized situation until Saturn enters
Sagittarius Dec 24, 2014 for a 5 month taste of the ranking officer under the influence of
Jupiter. Jupiter is fun but not
dependable. Life is just so......
limited by circumstances.
