Saturn's move into Aquaria just after the equinox tipping point was a preview of a signature new structural energy that will define 2021. We've had our taster. But this is 2020, the year the world changed forever and Saturn's lifequaking work here is not nearly done. Tomorrow his annual retrograde begins, joining Pluto by grinding into reverse gear.
He will travel back into Capricorn through the smoke and mirrors that sought to obscure our world's starkest realities. We have been shown in shocking ways the uneven patri-pillars our old world was built on, fatally quaked when Saturn and Pluto collided on January 12th. Their impact heralded a redistribution of world power, one cycle dying as another began and us all living the overlap. At the same time a report from China surfaced about a little virus, curious cataclysm. Curiouser still, Saturn Pluto aspects feature in the charts of both Bill Gates and Rupert Murdoch. Saturn indeed devouring his sons.
This rx revisits the seismic shift in social, political and personal structures as a work in progress. All three form the struts of the world we inhabit. Keen observation and diligent consolidation are the name of the game. We cannot dismantle corruption and abuse of power if we will not see it and allow its horror to galvanise right action. Injustice must be amplified for the scales to tip back. Even in isolation, the personal is the political.
Saturn is heading for his last dance in Cap in July which will conclude his home ground advantage, the effects of which we have certainly been feeling since December 2017. Use this period to revise what you have been working on since then, with a view to passing its tests and graduating from Sat Cap U. With the unmistakable scent of karmic rebalancing on the wind, take responsibility to do right with what you have learned.
Old man Saturn's rx asks us to reconsider how we spend our precious time here and answer the fresh call of this life. He reminds us we can only step up by shoring the ground beneath our feet. So to build a better braver new world whose foundations are firm, fair and far sighted.
To your work benches, darklings. Revolution is not a spectator sport.
