Since I believe my new book “Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend” contains more than a few gems of wisdom and insight, I’m posting a few pieces from various parts of the work each week. Today we take a brief look at how Saturn and Uranus figure into our higher destiny in Chapter 4.
Because each stage of life and evolution, once mastered, opens doors to a more advanced Life and evolution, it is easy to see that both Saturn and Uranus have associations with Dharma. Uranus symbolizes our eternal freedom to explore all there is in the eternity and infinity of existence. While Saturn binds us to certain lessons until we master them, Uranus always calls us to embrace the adventure of accepting complete autonomy and an ever expanding individuality.Whereas Saturn shows us reality, Uranus offers us inspiration and flashes of genius. While Saturn binds us to the causes and effects related to destiny, Uranus offers us on-going individualizing experiences where we demonstrate our freedom to cut loose from those things which trap us in restrictive patterns inhibiting our growth. While Saturn binds us through fear of the unknown, Uranus throws us into the unknown NOW with every breath we take.
Saturn and Uranus represent the boundaries of our imagination and the gateway to creative individuality. When we learn to use these energies wisely, each in the right way and time, our potential is limitless, and each thing we master, acquired through practice and patience, becomes our individual path to freedom and higher purpose.
Uranus awakens us to the power of creative imagination. Saturn helps us structure imagination into forms of creative visualization. We have the power of creative visualization any time we want to use it. In the quest to fulfill Dharma, we have to learn what to dream and how to dream with an eye to what can and cannot be accomplished of our own will.
Since Dharma rules all, we can learn a lot by examining where Spirit and Matter meet within us, the critical zone between our inspiration and the realities of life. This is where the eternal freedom of Uranus dances with the binding forms of Saturn we live within, until we cast off those old Saturn forms for newer forms that are adequate containers so our Divine Self-expression can naturally come forth.
This book takes an entirely new look at our inner Saturn and the power it gives us to take command of our lives and destiny. If Saturn represents all that limits us and holds us back, it’s only because we must master those lessons so we may become spiritual adults and fulfill our purpose for being alive on Earth. By knowing our Saturnian strengths, we can overcome fear and any sense of victimization or powerlessness.
It was written for both astrologers and non-astrologers, and gives the reader the power to understand why some things happened when they did. Throughout the book, it offers ways for us to “make friends” with this part of our existence and take command of our destiny. As you read each chapter, you’ll become more aware of all the factors assisting Soul growth through understanding how our Saturn lessons relate to Dharma (our Highest Spiritual Function) and various types of karma, both those we cause and those which are "Sacred Wounds" leading us to a greater compassion and understanding.
And as you've just sampled, we explore the concept of Saturn representing our Ring-Pass-Not, or that part of us which is limited while we learn certain lessons related to our understanding of who we are and why we can or cannot do certain things. As our Saturn expands its understanding and wisdom, then our Ring-Pass-Not expands so we can find purpose and meaning in each chapter of life. It is the secret to our power to guide our own evolution as we become conscious of the meaning of why we are on Earth.
The second part of the book examines how Saturn cycles mark major points of choice and change throughout life, and what we can expect when Saturn makes conjunctions, squares, and oppositions to our planets and Ascendant. There are tables assisting the reader to know when Saturn was in each sign, so even those with little or no understanding of astrology can track the timing on their major life changes. There is an entire chapter dedicated to the Saturn Return, perhaps the most important times in life when our decisions profoundly shape our future.
Part two closes with a chapter on one of the most crucial factors in our personal unfoldment: how the progressed Moon and transiting Saturn cycles track each other throughout life and relate to our emotional growth, and a chapter on a global phenomenon happening since 2003 impacting everyone on Earth. The Epilogue offers a few insights about living “the spiritual life,” and opens dimensions of higher and broader possibilities of personal evolution, regardless of which path to Truth we may be on.
This is a book you will reference many times for many reasons, and each time you pick it up you’re sure to find undiscovered gems of insight on each page. This book can help you throw off all the attitudes and memories which have held you back from finding and living the life and purpose you’ve been searching for since you were young. Welcome to the journey of self-discovery, and finding your power to live your life on your own terms, fulfilling your reason for being alive as an Eternal having human experiences!
