Since my new book Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend contains more than a few gems of wisdom and insight, from time to time I’ve posted a few pieces from various parts of the work. Today we take a brief look at the progressed Moon’s relationship to Saturn and the other planets.
Over the span of 27 years, the progressed Moon makes every possible aspect to all our planets, giving us every possible phase relationship between our progressed emotional experience and our natal inclinations. Every conjunction, square, or opposition the progressed Moon makes to a planet or the Ascendant brings phase shifts in how our feelings relate to various parts of our personality. These happen at different times within the 27 years for each of us based in the natal planetary positions.
When the progressed Moon conjuncts our Sun, we get a whole new feel and sensitivity about our natal Light/Life. As it makes all the aspects to the Sun, we are provided points of dynamic change in how we feel about our Light. It is the same with all the other planets. The progressed Moon puts the focus on our innate tendencies each time it conjuncts a natal planet, and how we respond as it makes aspects to that planet gives us information about when and how we must nurture the best expression of those personality traits.
A progressed Lunar conjunction always gives us a chance to re-set how we’re experiencing and expressing each planetary function. One of the most important contacts is when the progressed Moon conjuncts natal Saturn, because we get an inner emotional reset related to how we feel about our duties, obligations, and perceived deficiencies. Feelings of being weighted down, stifled, or incompetent need to be examined so that we get clear about how to change, leaving behind those things which frustrate us. The progressed Moon conjunct natal Saturn is a crucial point where we get clear about whether our inner Saturn function is expressing our power, or we feel oppressed and very heavy inside. In both cases, we are given unmistakable signals about the health of our inner Saturn.
Throughout life, our progressed Moon makes all the aspects with our natal Saturn, each one revealing how we feel about the burdens of our life, and how willing we are to reject what oppresses us and accept the power to change what we can. Regardless of the aspects made, even the hardest of frictional angles is only as “unfortunate” as we allow it to be. Even if an aspect accompanies difficult or life-shattering events, we still have the power to liberate our view from the limitations of the moment while doing what we must. Then even afflictions become blessings, since they force us to get clear and mobilize on our own behalf.
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!
