- SATURN SQUARE NEPTUNE~ PIERCING THE VEIL
- During this interesting time that we find ourselves in, Saturn, planet of structures and lessons to be
- learned ( aka karma) is now making a challenging aspect (square) to the current Neptune ,
- planet of formlessness and dissolution.
- As you can imagine these two planets are as different in nature as they can be ,yet both play an essential role
- in the great cosmic process and working together create a necessary dynamic balance.
- Neptune dissolves what needs to be released and Saturn rebuilds the new foundation/structure.
- A square causes a dynamic tension that requires a new structure to be made between two signs/planets
- creating a new relationship between them.
- The signs that the respective planets are in, Fire and water are also seemingly at odds and yet they too
- have a symbiotic alliance that creates life.
- Saturn is in the sign of Sagittarius a mutable fire sign and Neptune is in its native water sign of Pisces,
- which is also mutable, signifying the ability to change.
- Sagittarius is a sign of philosophy, religion, belief systems ,thirst for knowledge and above all the quest for truth.
- Pisces/ Neptune represents the domain of the spirit world, from the astral realms of fantasy and illusion
- to the highest levels of spiritual realization and enlightenment.
- As Neptune in Pisces gives us an opportunity to incorporate spiritual elements into our lives, it also gives us a chance
- to examine our illusions of self limiting beliefs . By definition an illusion is something that appears to be real yet upon close
- examination is seen for what it is -insubstantial . Its like when you are driving down a highway on a hot day and you see
- on the road the gleam of what you would swear is water on the asphalt , yet as soon as you get close it disappears
- because it was never there . So the current Saturn in Sagittarius is the lesson of finding ones own essential truth
- and the bright light of this fire sign is like the sun piercing the veil of the fog of nebulous Neptunian illusions.
- One of the ways that Sagittarius can balance Pisces is to challenge questionable emotional beliefs/fears with the scrutiny of truth.
- Questioning ones feelings at this point is a good thing, as intuition and feelings can be heavily influenced by Neptune and therefore
- 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
- 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?’ ,
- can be helpful at this time.
- Anything that has real validity will stand up to scrutiny whereas an illusion will almost always disappear upon close examination-
- just as the water on the road. I qualify that because some illusions are trickier, more deep seated and obscure than others
- and in some cases we need an outside opinion/assistance to get a grip on them.
- If during this transit of Saturn which only lasts approximately three years, one can
- clear away/ tame enough of the illusionary aspect of Neptune in the psyche, it can make way for the illumination of
- true spirit guided intuition to come into the consciousness .
- This,to me, is the spiritual purpose of this short term Saturn transit intersecting with the longer more far reaching Neptune transit.
- There are many ways that these energies can manifest and play out in our lives and in the world,
- 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.
- 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,
- and conversely Neptune/Pisces can soften the harsh glare of extreme aspect of the Sagittarian quest for truth (ig. Spanish Inquisition )
- 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.
