Yesterday we discussed how Saturn in Leo will affect different generations of people, and what to be aware of as we navigate this year and next, when this effect will dominate the landscape. Today we will discuss the effect of Saturn in Leo on each sign. If you know your rising sign, or Ascendant, read that sign as well as your Sun sign:
Today we explore how Saturn in Leo is affecting all of us, some more than others. This powerful transit is a force majure in its own right, regardless of how any other planet is affecting us. In classical astrology, Saturn is considered to be in "exile" or “detriment” in Leo, due to Saturn’s co-rulership of Aquarius, along with Capricorn. Saturn was also in detriment in Cancer, since that sign opposes Capricorn, which Saturn is said to rule. What does this mean? Well, exile is to be out of one's realm, to be at a distance from one's home. Cancer and Leo are as far from Capricorn and Aquarius as we get in our zodiac. When Saturn transits Leo, we learn to restructure our heart, spontaneity, and how to enjoy our life more authentically.
From the Magic of Space, some thoughts about fear, ignorance, and how much power we have to overcome these fairly easily. From Chapter VII, The Self - Its Relation to Space and Matter:
First, you should realize that all uncontrolled emotions are the result of ignorance or undevelopment, and this knowledge will rob them of their power over you. You will know that you are at the emotional point in your evolution, which is an indication of ignorance of your own power of self-control. Then you will begin to see the need of development, and will set about correcting the fault. A child fears the dark because he does not know its nature of its cause. If he is carried into a dark room and the light is turned on, and he sees nothing there to injure him, his fear is immediately dissipated. His fear was banished when his ignorance was destroyed.
There has been a lot of scuttlebutt around the blogosphere that there’s a feeling something BIG is about to hit, but no one seems to have a fix on what’s up. Vague feelings of impending doom or salvation are often characterized by a Jupiter-Neptune square, and regardless of what seems to show itself, a corner is about to be turned that will affect the entire world.
Our prez is not a happy camper. Bluster and bluff as he may, he's fatigued, stressed, and has hit his limit of his ability to keep it together. There are several factors presently at work that are teaching him that he cannot disregard others in an interdependent universe, and there are consequences to be faced for his past crimes and hubris. Today we will take a short look at what's up for him, and why he's being forced to accept certain hard realities.
Today I'll give links to articles that are still timely and relevant even though I wrote them awhile ago and some have dropped off the radar screen. In no particular order of importance, I'll start with this article on the Venus retrograde effect on your sign, with an internal link to another important article on how you can find a greater compassion at this time. It's still going on, and how we handle its lessons will have a long term effect on our relationships, values, and resources. This article reminds us that we've made it through the night, and it's full speed ahead, given the present aspects. More by clicking on the link.
From The Magic of Space, Chapter 10, "Problems of Illusion," we find words of wisdom regarding superstition, hidden forces, and cultivating intuition. I'll post more astrology tomorrow.
As we move through the next few days, it may be useful to take a new look at some things I've said about this time. This overview outlines what each sign can productively focus on, while this post offers insights into the Mars opposed to Jupiter and the Venus retrograde. It's all systems go!
A quick note. I'll try to post more astrology soon. For the time being, though, speaking of peculiar dream states, if you care about the Constitution of the US, go to Political Physics and read why Alito should be filibustered, and why you should contact your Representative and Senator as soon as possible. America the democracy is truly at risk due to unbridled executive power, and Alito is one of the architects of the legal strategems of the authoritarians.
Remember this: whatever you keep your attention upon will accumlate knowledge for your mind. All facts of the intuition come from the Universal thought. All human experience and activities of the earth are connected with our dream life, but they will not furnish us with the facts which are part of our intuition, and are, therefore, not part of the Universal thought.
Over the years, many people have expressed an interest in how the signs relate to musical notes. Every sequence of musical notes is a thought-form in itself, and music, like words, feelings, and thoughts, move various centers of consciousness in people, for good or ill, depending on how the notes, words, feelings, and ideas affect the individual chart.
January is the time of the Sun in Capricorn, and during January 2006 we also have Mercury and Venus in that Cardinal Earth sign. Capricorn puts the focus on our claim to power in the public realm and our ability to assert our personal authority within a social structure. This self-starting practical sign represents the power of organizing energies into forms of personal fulfillment, and the ability to use time productively to achieve our intention. Capricorn is the ultimate plodder, patiently persevering with an eye to the long-term payoff. Wherever it falls in a chart is where you may find and claim your power, authorship, mature experience and responsibility.
