Get Your Head Around Saturn

If things have felt heavy or sluggish today and time was definitely not on your side, you can thank old uncle Saturn for the dragging of heels and dour frame. Today he squared off with the sun, who has spent a great portion of the past week spitting solar flares our way as he too finds himself unusually fired up.Saturn is our harsh taskmaster, he who refuses to allow us to shirk the work through short cut, pole vault or bullshit. But his ancient value system rewards commitment and elbow grease, planning and patience. Saturn in Sagg is particularly interested in the whole truth of our endeavours, with a zero tolerance for euphemism.His tough aspecting of the sun - building over the last little while and exacting today - may have felt like Jake brakes on projects and frustrating restriction in other areas of our life. This can make us feel disillusioned or hopeless, setting anxiety levels to high and making us wonder if we will ever get there.It is a funny thing how a world so overscheduled and exhausted hits the panic button when forced to slow down. A slower ride affords a better view, with the kind of detail that the sun in Virgo is hankering for us to focus on. It also delivers a few blessed extra breaths, a chance to revise and tweak as required and a reminder that it was in fact the tortoise who aced the race.If you can get your head around Saturn, the rewards are spectacular. Run rings around yourself today for best results.Words © Kerrie Basha, 2017
