Month: August 2021

Later this week (Sept 2-3), the Leo Moon will be making a trine or flowing aspect to Saturn. Saturn is in Aquarius which is the site on the opposite side of the zodiac to Leo – they balance each other. Leo wants to be seen and admired, Aquarius wants nothing more to blend into the crowd. This is a good time to study how your emotional side (Moon) might crave attention at all costs while your controlling authority (Saturn) might seek a more balanced approach. If you feel you need the approval of others all of that time, ask yourself why? If you give up authority and power for approval and acceptance – then you need to study ways to develop self authority (Saturn.)

This won’t last long – nothing dealing with the fast paced Moon ever does – but it can be a useful, quick exercise.

Don’t think of every interaction with Saturn as being “bad.” Saturn gets a bad reputation because he deals with linear time and what we have to do to occupy it, such as exercising, eating good foods, working. It just isn’t the exciting world of international affairs and travel (Jupiter) or spirit and creativity (Neptune.) Poor Saturn. However, he should not be construed to be a bully – but someone who helps us take authority over ourselves as we conduct our way through life.

With this opposition to our Sun (our inner spark) today, Saturn will be providing necessary energy to those who are looking to align their goals with their actions. It is one think to dream and it is another to apply the work necessary to turn them into reality.

Without Saturn, we would live in an unregulated world of pipedreams. So, don’t curse him. Think how you can use him to apply more authority to life.
