SATURN in AQUARIUS — PART 6 — 4/18/2021 ( LAST in this SERIES)

Good Afternoon, dear Friends and Readers, The post is the last in the Saturn in Aquarius series. I began with Aquarius rising and worked around the wheel…if you know your Ascendant (rising sign), then doing it this way gives more accuracy than a solar chart, which means you put the Sun on the Ascendant. That’s fine if you are born at dawn, your Sun WOULD be on the Ascendant…

We’re up to Aries now…If you have ARIES rising, the Saturn in Aquarius is transiting through your 11th house of friends and groups, or hopes and wishes for the future — the natural Aquarian house, so this transit is strong for Aries in a positive way. I have seen 3 different ways Saturn can behave in the 11th. Of course, being that there is a world crisis going on, the interpretations may be on line rather than in person. Depends on your situation…

Saturn in the 11th can mean you are working closely with groups of people in your career and may not have much leisure time for friends. It also can mean loneliness, not enough friends. Saturn here often means that you will volunteer, or be elected, or be appointed to serve a group of people. The 11th is labor unions, charitable groups, humanitarian groups, or less formal groups centered around hobbies, special interests, etc. If you are lonely, try a search on social media for whatever you are interested in, even if it’s oddball stuff — harp players, special breeds of pets, people working with leather, lace, herbs, restoring old bikes and/or motorcycles — you name it, it’s out there :)) I know people that have done this and ended up with happy friendships at a distance…

Aquarian transits are compatible with ARIES, there should be satisfaction and a sense of fulfillment. Neptune is in your 12th, suggesting you do some kind of spiritual practice every day. Doesn’t have to be a problem. Jupiter is either in your 11th or in your 12th by now — bringing spiritual understanding, growth and peace of mind. Not a problem. Uranus in Taurus in your 1st or 2nd can shake up old routines that have gotten stale. Aries is a sign more accustomed to challenge and change so Uranus should be reasonably OK. So, what IS the problem? I think it is Pluto which is forming a square to Aries, especially the last 10 degrees of Aries. Pluto in Capricorn is most likely in your 10th house of career. Government help may only delay the inevitable, you may need to train for work in another industry. There’s some kind of pressure here from Pluto, suggesting change and transformation in your career is going to be mandatory. For example, look what the pandemic did to the hospitality industry. It still hasn’t recovered…

You ARIES RISING people need to keep an eye on the other cardinal planets — be alert when the transits shift from Aries (now) to Cancer (summer), Libra (fall) and meet up with Pluto in Capricorn at the end of this year and early 2022. You may want to be more security conscious at those times. You may need to resist manipulative actions on the part of other people, or it could simply be government policies or laws that feel like a pain to deal with… It’s probably a good year to really study your chart. And think back over the lengthy Mars transit through Aries last year, culminating at 29 degrees Aries on January 6, 2021. ANY 29 degree is considered a critical degree…

All in all, I think Aries rising will have a pretty good year — just keep an eye on Pluto…

If you have PISCES RISING, them Saturn in AQUARIUS is most likely transiting through your 12th house of spiritual matters. If you have a later degree Pisces rising, then Saturn may still be in your 11th. Saturn takes 2 1/2 to 3 years to move through a whole sign or house. Saturn in the 12th, in ANY sign, can be a toughie. We often have to face our worst fears and work through them. If you can forgive the people who have wronged you, you may emerge from this transit immeasurably strengthened. You may need to do some short-term counselling. There’s EMDR for past trauma, and there are counselors that specialize — family dynamics, physical and emotional abuse, substance abuse, etc. Often, with Saturn in the 12th, it’s about loneliness and abandonment. And it can be hard to get any tea or sympathy from the people who you think SHOULD be there for you. That’s why I mentioned professionals.

When I had Saturn in my 12th, and I’m old enough that I’ve had it twice, it was certainly no picnic. I felt very alone. And I had to really look at myself and how the decisions I had made before had brought me to that point. Once Saturn moves into our 1st house, we can roll up our sleeves and get to work fixing what we discovered about ourselves when Saturn was in our 12th. The 12th is a hidden house — past lives, karma, secret sorrows, contracts we made while we were still in heaven — things we agreed to work on, and they often can involve hurtful experiences with other people. Both times, there were people in my life who were dishonest with me. It really hurt and I felt very betrayed. Soooo, what are you going to do? Feel like a victim? That just about guarantees it will happen again. I had to make myself get very tough and very strong and also be more skeptical of people to make sure I wasn’t attracting people with hidden agendas. I will never forget what I learned and it continues to help me… you can do that, too.

It’s so important to be honest with ourselves. And to be grateful for our blessings. And to plant seeds of kindness out in the world, WITHOUT drawing in the scammers.

This time in your life could be a wonderful new beginning spiritually. Meditation? Yoga? Journal-ling? Writing down your dreams? When people don’t like being alone, it’s called loneliness. When they do like it, it’s called solitude. Pisces make good card readers. Maybe this is the year you begin to really study a particular deck or system. If you want something more simple, try the I Ching or Runes.

Since Neptune is transiting through Pisces, you should allow a 2 to 3 degree orb on either side of your Ascendant for the Neptune conjunction. Neptune moves so slowly that this conjunction lasts 3 to 4 years. It’s a once in a lifetime transit. Neptune is the hardest planet to interpret. At least I think so…anyway, read everything you can to understand the spiritual unfoldment that is happening in your life. Eventually, both Jupiter (2022) and Saturn (in about 3 years) will conjoins your Ascendant, too. I’m watching the Pisces rising people in my life…more on this as it unfolds…

Meanwhile, take good care of your health, on all levels., Trust your instincts when consulting medical professionals. Consider getting second opinions, too. Don’t give up your authority over yourself…

Well, folks, that’s it for now…hope you enjoyed the series…best wishes, Jenae
