Part three of our triple play of the Planets…
Yes, finally, it is here…and it comes down to this…a Turning.
It is your time to turn to a new Duty, to a renewed sense of your Responsibility…
It is time, time to take the next step and move into your new space of
Reality-Making.
The Lord of Time and Reality is moving on, from Air to Water…from
Cardinal to Fixed…Now things are going to get even more interesting…and serious!
Saturn in your own chart is the indicator of your primary test in life.
It is like the Achilles Heel of your Life, where you will stumble and fall (yes,
again and again), but over time you will learn by trial and error to rise above
your challenge. This is how you have always unfolded your potential, you
continue to learn more and more about yourself and your world, and as you do,
you learn to choose “The Good”. By moving away from fear and pain,
you turn towards the path that leads to Peace, as you grow into greater and
greater Self-mastery and Fulfillment.
That is why Saturn represents “The Teacher”, because it is the
instrument of your challenge and of your self-realization. You can only unfold
your wondrous potentials by learning to move beyond the impediments that have
prevented you from being your fuller Self. It is actually through these
constant challenges that Saturn brings into your life, through various personal
tests that you must face, it is through this that you become more self-masterful
in the very Lesson of Life indicated by Saturn’s Sign and House placement.
In a very similar fashion, Saturn moving into a new sign brings to the World
a new field or focus of growth for everyone…it brings you together to work upon
a Lesson of Life for one and all.
Since July 2010, Saturn has been moving through Libra…and you and
everyone else has had to face the challenge of bringing your relationship experiences
to a higher level of self-realization. You have learned through Saturn that
your patterns of relationship have been formed, reflect and are therefore
limited by the nature of the primary relationship of your life…your
relationship to yourself. The only way to “find” a good relationship
or improve an existing one is to understand that it does not depend at all upon
what happens “out there”, (like in having some better luck in finding
the “right person” or by looking in some new place or whatever). The
only place you need look more deeply and honestly, the only place you are capable
of truly changing…is You. For what you will always encounter is the
relationship that you have made for yourself already. You make your relationship reality better by
having a fuller, truer and more loving relationship with yourself!
Now Saturn moves, and until December 2014, (actually, because of
retrograde gyrations, Saturn will not leave Scorpio for good until September
2015), you are taking the next step in your Saturnian Lessons of Life. Whereas
the move through Libra helped to clarify the outward forms and structures of
your relationships, it is the purpose of Scorpio to lead you deeper…into the
mystery and heart of you with your beloved. Now you must face the Challenge and
Opportunity of Union itself…Saturn is here to teach you: How do “I and
Thou” become “We”?
To form this joining, to create that Sacred Space of Union requires great
courage and humility. Again as before, Saturn will bring tests to you…to help
you move towards this most joyous goal. Saturn will seemingly bring these challenges
of Union to you, but you should know by now that you have brought them to
yourself. What you most long for, what your heart aches for, is to be one with
one another. You seek to transcend your separate existences and join as One…and it is this
Passion that is at the heart of what drives the great Journey of all the sparks
of the Divine… But, you must face your test now which your very desire has
drawn to you.
Forever and always your Saturn reality-making casts equally deep shadows,
what always threatens your hopes are the shadows cast by your fears, the
shadowed fears from your past, for this is how Saturn works. When it comes to the
lesson of Scorpio, your fear is Separation, you fear the loss of the other…you
fear rejection…you fear that the promise of Union will end in being alone.
So, again you must turn and realize that the real test is to be found
within…the real test is to not reject yourself, to not pull away from your Heart and Truth and stand by what will hold you to yourself, and what will now
hold you to one another. The values that make you worthy, most importantly your
fundamental value, your Love for yourself…it is this that you must cleave to…and
it is this love that you must share with another who also knows this…for only
then can the other values that you hold grow in the Sacred Space of We.
For in every Union you must choose what to hold to and what to release…because
you will have to sacrifice the lesser things in your life in order to honor the
greater. If you are afraid, you might offer too little, and fail to create the
vulnerable space of shared values with the other. Or, you might out of fear yield too much, sacrifice so much of who you are that you obtain the reward of Union…but you are no longer there.
But if you get it right, if you go within and then through the other experience the frictional
refinement of discerning what is of more value to you and what is less…you
will be amazed by the mystery that stands revealed to you now. You discover that
in your sacrifice for one another of the lesser things, that as you come closer
and are bound in Union to one another, you actually have come that much closer
to your own true Self.
As always, the lesson and message of Saturn is to help you understand
that you are upon a journey of self-discovery through self-unfoldment. Now it
is time to move into the greatest challenge…and the greatest reward.
Saturn moves…and your reality will tremble…
Your heart leaps at the promise, to love and be loved…
To be one with one another.
The sacrifice is offered, you give with joy and understanding…
For you have released what is lesser…the shadows melt away…
As you come closer, so much
closer…to the Light.
