Saturn square Neptune ~piercing the veil

Posted by sacreddream - March 9th, 2015

  1. SATURN SQUARE NEPTUNE~ PIERCING THE VEIL
  2. During this interesting time that we find ourselves in, Saturn, planet of structures and lessons to be
  3. learned ( aka karma) is now making a challenging aspect (square) to the current Neptune ,
  4. planet of formlessness and dissolution.
  5. As you can imagine these two planets are as different in nature as they can be ,yet both play an essential role
  6. in the great cosmic process and working together create  a necessary dynamic balance.
  7. Neptune dissolves what needs to be released and Saturn rebuilds the new foundation/structure.
  8. A square causes a dynamic tension that  requires a new  structure to be made  between two signs/planets
  9. creating  a new relationship between them.
  10. The signs that the respective planets are in, Fire and water are also seemingly at odds and yet they too
  11. have a symbiotic alliance that creates life.
  12. Saturn is in  the sign of Sagittarius a mutable fire sign and Neptune is in its native water sign of Pisces,
  13. which is also mutable, signifying   the ability to change.
  14. Sagittarius is a sign of philosophy, religion, belief systems ,thirst for knowledge and above all the quest for truth.
  15. Pisces/ Neptune represents the  domain of the spirit world, from the astral realms of fantasy and illusion
  16. to the highest levels of spiritual  realization and enlightenment.
  17. As Neptune in Pisces gives us an opportunity to incorporate spiritual elements into our lives, it also gives us a chance
  18. to examine our illusions  of self limiting beliefs  . By definition an illusion is something that appears to be real yet upon close
  19. examination is seen for what it is -insubstantial . Its like when you are driving down a highway on a hot day and you see
  20. on the road the gleam of what you would swear is water on the asphalt , yet as soon as you get close it disappears
  21. because it was never there . So the current Saturn in Sagittarius is the lesson of  finding ones own essential truth
  22. and  the bright light of this fire sign is like the sun piercing the veil of the  fog of  nebulous Neptunian illusions.
  23. One of the ways that Sagittarius can balance Pisces is to challenge questionable  emotional beliefs/fears with the scrutiny of truth.
  24. Questioning ones feelings at this point is a good thing, as intuition and feelings can be heavily influenced by Neptune and therefore
  25. may be less reliable than usual. So , asking oneself regarding a belief  that may or may not be positive or true,’ do you know for a fact
  26. that it is true,do you have any proof that it is true, and if so, is it necessarily true or applicable  in this/ your particular circumstance?’ ,
  27. can be helpful at this time.
  28. Anything that has real  validity will stand up to scrutiny whereas an illusion will almost always disappear upon close examination-
  29. just as the water on the road.  I qualify that because some illusions are trickier, more deep seated and obscure than others
  30. and in some cases we need an outside opinion/assistance  to get a grip on them.
  31. If during this transit of Saturn which only lasts approximately  three years, one  can
  32. clear away/ tame  enough of the illusionary aspect of Neptune in the psyche, it can make way for the illumination of
  33. true spirit guided   intuition to come into the consciousness .
  34. This,to me,  is the spiritual purpose of this short term Saturn  transit intersecting  with the longer more far reaching Neptune transit.
  35. There are many ways that these energies can manifest and play out in our lives and in the world,
  36. but to understand the basic  spiritual evolutionary purpose helps makes sense of all the seemingly random consequences that occur as a result of these influences.
  37. Saturn squaring Neptune offers us a possibility of utilizing the  vast  energies of Neptune  in a positive , practical life affirming way, creating a structure for the formless,
  38. and conversely Neptune/Pisces can soften the  harsh glare of  extreme  aspect of the Sagittarian quest for  truth (ig. Spanish Inquisition )
  39. and bring true intuitive wisdom to our belief systems and philosophical constructs, and well as compassion and tolerance for the beliefs and life paths of others.
