The Test of Responsibility, to the Test of Social Consciousness
The Lord of Reality is moving from Capricorn into Aquarius this year. Saturn will make the first transition on March 21–22, it will retrograde back into Capricorn on July 1, and re-enter Aquarius on December 17 where it will remain until March 2023.
For more than two years with Saturn in Capricorn, we were given the opportunity, by encountering various challenges, to understand how we must strive to improve the fulfillment of our responsibilities. It is by these “Hierarchies of Obligations” that we meet and fulfill one another’s needs which are rooted in the various positions we hold in our lives. Whether as a parent or child, as a teacher or student, as an employer or worker, we were being tested to reexamine our understanding and exercise of our roles and duties towards one another.
But for the next couple of years, you will face the next step in your spiritual evolution as held in the Sign of Aquarius. Whereas Capricorn concerns the fulfillment you achieve by maintaining the “World that Is”, (what your ancestors passed on to you), Saturn in Aquarius demands that you turn around; it shines a light upon the path so that you will consider what comes next, to imagine what your future will be, and most importantly and lovingly, to do this with careful and selfless regard as to what will you pass on to your children, and to their children, and for all who come after you.
Saturn in Aquarius reminds you that it is not enough to preserve and maintain what has been; Aquarius is about the future that you are making for you and for those who come after you. We humans are dreamers; we are the “Imagineers of Earth”. We are here to constantly remake ourselves and our world. And now you must ask, what kind of world shall it be?
Your challenge will always be to lift your vision higher, and you must strive to be ever more conscious and considerate, as you make a better you. But Saturn in Aquarius will remind you of this: That what you dream, and what you will make, must be framed and formed by all with whom you journey, by the truth that you are part of a host of souls who must make a better world together, and so you will remake one another and your world in such a way that it is better for one another, and for all of life on Earth too.
We humans dream of fulfillment, to be happy and live a life that is good; and, Saturn in Aquarius will remind you that your fulfillment and your happiness can only become a reality when it is also makes possible the fulfillment and happiness for one and for all.
This is the challenge of Saturn in Aquarius; it is the test of your Social Consciousness. And it challenges you to overcome one of your greatest illusions, your experience of being separate and apart from one another. In truth, from the beginning of your journey, and through life after life, you are formed by all who accompany you. Your experiences, your thoughts, your love and your wisdom, they are all formed by the countless moments you have shared with one another. You are all mixed up in one another, you are all made of one another; and your happiness and your fulfillment are made with one another too.
Saturn in Aquarius calls on all of us now; we must consider what kind of future we wish to make, what will be the legacy that we will pass down to those who come after.
Our challenge is to choose wisely. We must cherish and protect one another, but we can only do this if we make this possible for all life on this beautiful planet. This is our responsibility now, for we made this world as it is, and we are reaping what we have sown.
If we wish for a better world, for us and for those who come after, we must do what we have always done. We must come together, we Imagineers of Earth, and be the seeds of a better world for many, many years to come.
