Astro-LOA Flash: Saturn, our ambition, form and structure, turns direct on the fixed star Foramen in the constellation of Argo Navis, the great ship. Foramen marks the keel, keeping us on course and balanced. Expect forward motion to resume after delays and seeming denials. Set strong intentions. It’s clear sailing with a chance of discovery!
SATURN DIRECT @22 LIBRA
L.A. – Monday – 00:22
NEW YORK – Monday – 03:22
LONDON - Monday – 08:22
SYDNEY – Monday – 17:22
This is much like the four of swords in the tarot where, in the Mythic Deck, we see Jason after completing construction of his ship, the Argos. It was a long and arduous haul but the work is done. Soon he’ll be sailing off for the golden fleece with Castor and Polydeuces, the Gemini Twins, Hercules, Orpheus and Theseus. Jason is surrounded by heroes, the ship is stocked up and the weather fine. Saturn direct can feel like relief, a major task done and the path ahead clearing. This is a time to celebrate the achievement so far, mark the milestone and move on from obstacles or limitations. It’s time to relish the moment! (Remember obstacles are perceptions only!)
Objects, events, measurements and FACTS are modes of human perception, not attributes of the universe. – Deepak Chopra
Think back to November 2011. What was happening then? Can you appreciate how far you’ve come? Projects that seemed ‘dead in the water’ then are about to get a move on! Celebrate that now!
Comment on what’s moving forward in your life so we can all celebrate it together! Happy Saturn Direct!
Since Saturn is as 22 Libra and my Sun is 23 Libra, it has been Interesting Times, and I do feel like several things are really beginning to move forward in various directions. I’ve been organizing things in preparation and even just bought a new laptop, which was badly needed. I used to move house on personal Saturn events, but now I move into new computers! So much easier. I have plans for outreach activities in preparation for beginning an on-going class, and I’ve taken steps on organizing things for various writing projects. Now all I need is the energy to actually carry through!
Fabulous! I love how you’ve been doing all the prep, taking care of business and getting organized for things to move forward. The new computer was a great step – shows the universe you KNOW it’s coming and you’re ready! Thank you for posting, Jessica. Inspiring!
Uranus is at 22 Libra in my 11th house so it has certainly been interesting times. Last November I thought my work had tried up and was going to throw in the towel with everything I had been doing in my career for nearly 20 years. Still feel that way but not as desperate as back in November. Still not sure what to do. Are you suggesting waiting ’til Saturn turns direct and clarity should come then?
I’m suggesting the clarity is blossoming. Now!
Ha! Initially I thought YES, this is all about biz and getting things done… until you mentioned November 2011.
Um…
My project then was to take a month off and recover my very depleted energy. And – in hindsight – my “efforts” were mediocre at best lol! The best I could manage then, certainly – but not sufficient.
I recently made some big, step-it-up commitments to better self-care, and when I thought back to November I got a huge flash of NOW is the time to intend SUPERB self-care.
More saying “no” to crap (food, activities, conversations, etc). More focused and intentional resting. Stronger boundaries.
OMG I’m excited about self-care! This is a first!
From me to you, Saturn, it’s time for this intention to get super-charged. And I know you know how to get me there, old friend!
Thank you so much, Kim. Superb! Basking…
Thank you, Janette! I needed to hear that. It isn’t really there until we are joyful about it, is it?
Amen Jessica – even if we sometimes backslide into not-joy along the path, we gotta get some juice into the intention to begin with. That way even on the “oops, I forgot” days, we can revisit the joy of why we set the intention in the first place. Lovely!
Janette, thank you for your contribution! I love the shift you’ve made and I can feel the joy!!!! Onward and upward!
Woohoo!!! And you KNOW I’m gettin’ me some beach time lol!
Wow.. November 2011 was when my love and I had a falling out. I haven’t seen him since then. We are in touch to some extend. I hope there is some communication to see where he is at. It was a great time learning more about myself being away from him. Also, my time now has been spent on dealing with a terrible job / financial situation since that timeframe. A great situation showed up last week for job / finances so i am hoping more good news will continue with career and finances. It has been painful. I am glad that my guy and I separated for a bit. He was busy with is biz, that I think got hit by some negative activity, hence not allowing him to promote it. For me, I hadn’t been in a good state to really be fully there for him. Maybe the space was good for both of us, but maye not. Just preparing for any activity that might come this week, good and bad! I have learned a lot in all areas let’s see if I can release some of the stress I have been harboring since then to feel a sense of freedom and enjoyment in another level of my transformation.
That’s beautiful, Ellie. Here’s to releasing stress, feeling freedom and enjoyment and saying yes to great situations! Sounds wonderful! Keep us posted!
Thanks Kim!! I look forward to your updates so I will post again!.
P.S: Even though, since my return, I’ve also been consciously preparing for Saturn direct – e.g. addressing health probs with Jananese herbs, weekly massages & period chiropractic treatments (which set my back back in place yesterday!) as well as having weekly Spanish classes… I’m still very ‘twice shy’…
For better or worse, my initial main comment didn’t post. I mentioned that on 11/11/11 at 11.11am my plane to Santiago, Chile took off. That I stayed only a week because of so many apparent blocks, I see in hindsight (those synchronicities are confirmation to me) that it wasn’t totally unconstructive as I formed invaluable contacts, esp. with the mother of my son’s g/f, which I’ve been nurturing since. I do know I need to travel – perhaps to Mexico & Peru – for expansion & for reasons I simply don’t yet know. Have been invited to S’ago for xmas… yet feel like going much sooner… am still v. reticent, though.. v. ‘twice shy’… Gracias, Kim.
In the P.S: Chinese herbs, Melody.
Yeah for Chinese Herbs (I love them!) and backs back in place, possible world travel and brilliant bilingual-ality!
Me gusta mucho!!!
You’re amazing, Kim ~ I’m so so grateful to you.
My Spanish class today was spesh (in today’s local rag’s horoscope/Libra: again – especially if you were born on Oct.2nd… gees… but – the message was heartening: that I’d enjoy a lovely surprise today…
I mentioned to her, my Spanish teacher/friend, that I have dental ‘con-struction’ work to be done – nothing pressing & nothing I was aware of needing to have done… & all amounting to $14k!
(My son impressed upon me yesterday the ‘importance’ of considering having the work done for a quarter the cost in either Chile or Mexico… the cost of 2 trips).
Ha! “My mum would love to have you stay a few months while you have your teeth done.” And it’s in the process of being arranged, both ‘ends’. Am ‘over the moon’ !
The whole ‘time/timing’ factor & the way we’re almost ‘fated’ (choice factor aside) to attract to ourselves [fortuitous] sequences of events- never ceases to keep me attuned – & balancing. All the details simply fall into place. No more doubt, worry, etc.
Me gusto tambien y te agradesco, Kim.
Saturn ruled, Merc at MC at 20 Libra. I’ll be ditching a heapload of November love woes, but taking my hard work and friends with me. Good trade. Saturn moves, Mars outta Virgo soon yippie ki yay, lol ! Thanks Kim – Love the argonauts ! cheers
I love the Argonauts too, and not just because the Gem twins are among them! Venus direct on the 38th as well (I’ve a special, channeled posted coming for it) so everything’s moving on! (in time for Mercury Rx but that’s just another story!) Glad to hear of the shift!
Geeeeeeeeeeeeees… another Mercury RX?!
In Leo so very creative and romantic and showy. This Rx is more interested in retro art and re-thinking self expression than throwing monkey wrenches in the clockworks! I’s going to be fun! Into Leo today!
I remember the beginning of November well in the sense that I was given a chance for a tremendous new beginning in life on all fronts, although it was mainly based around a huge change in matters of the heart. That situation seemingly had a false start, but has been hovering around since then so my intention? Let it begin, and breathe, once more, now that it has the room to breathe and grow healthily and for all the most wholesome and right reasons.
Beautiful Oran_Mor. Thank you for that! I think giving it room to breathe and grow is something we can all apply to our intentions! Well said.
I’m still looking at all those 22′s. 22 Libra, 22 minutes after the hour…. Aren’t sequences of 2′s supposed to indicate perseverance or progress?
Anyway, last November saw some very unwelcome changes in my work (I’m self-employed), and one client in particular announced around that time (or maybe about a month later) that they were changing drastically and would not have work for their freelancers for a while. Saturn turned retro about a month (early Feb) after they shut off work for their freelancers (early Jan). The plan was that they would test people for some new types of freelance work, and I haven’t heard anything since. Maybe a month from now I’ll hear, since they seem to be operating about a month after all the astrological influences?
What I’m definitely desiring is that any changes be good. I have natal Saturn retro, so for me, its retrogrades are actually okay. But in the past few years, when it’s turned direct, I’ve had too many endings — and no matter how much you call an ending a type of progress, it’s still been on the fairly negative side. I’d like the changes to now be positive progressions instead of endings from now on, thank you very much….
That’s a powerful intentions, Jesann. (Love that name, ‘Jessan’!) You’ve set it out straight and clear – all change is positive progress! Period! I like it!
Here’s to experiencing just that!
Saturn going direct in the late 5th precisely square Mars in Capricorn in the 9th, right next to Chiron. What to expect?
Oh I like that. Frees up your Mars to make choices, stake your claim and be definitive. Great for creative projects. Away you go!
Saturn direct in the third. And conj my Asc natally, plus I’m a 10th house sun. It’ll be a relief I reckon. The time since Nov has felt much like treading water and exciting opportunities flitting about but not manifesting.
There was also lots of hard work and lots of lying on the couch to recover.
But a few stop gap measures are winding up now, which have provided some impetus and support in a couple of ways, and thus I’m thinking shall give me the energy to do the final bits and pieces that will allow me to set off on these new adventures I’ve been getting excited/disapointed about since Nov.
One last pass of the Saturn square Saturn to come, which I guess will be the evaluation point?
Evaluation point is a great way to put it. Yes, relief and a LOT of forward motion. After the last six months, this will feel easy peasy!
In November (full moon in fact)I had a setback with a panic attack while driving, something I have had problems with and was, I thought, making progress with. It was as though I had to go right back to basics, but what started to come out of that was a totally different attitude to this challenge (which btw is evident in my chart, with Neptune in the 6th house opposite the moon in the 12th). It hit home when i was striding down the street having had to leave the supermarket suddenly due to panic feelings, and was “accosted” by a fundraiser in a t-shirt with “Rethink Mental Illness” emblazened across the back! That same day I connected with someone online who I respect a lot who is very spiritually aware, who mentioned that she also used to get them and just took it as a sign that she was just not meant to drive on the freeway (her trigger), and thought her life was much better for that omission. Since November I’ve been much more open about it instead of hiding it and become aware of some underlying entrenched beliefs -fear of disapproval, fear of failure. Then I began to really look at what this limitation is teaching me, and realising perhaps it’s in many ways a gift as well. But still glad to hear Saturn’s going direct as I’m starting to enjoy getting around again! Just realised it has been squaring my sun (20 degrees Cancer) so relief hopefully due. xx
P.s I have 2 songs inspired by the Six of Cups and the Queen of Wands on my album – see link if interested!
Moira, there is so much gained by the Saturn to Sun contacts, especially in the realm of personal boundaries, see limits without judgment, getting easy with ‘what is’ and allowing for what you really want.
Saturn direct is going to shed light on all of this!
How beautiful to have songs inspired by Tarot. I will follow your link! Thank you!
Thanks Kim, the personal boundaries stuff makes so much sense, as my sun is in the 3rd house (siblings) there have been major issues about just that with my brother, and other family members. Has felt like the Universe via Saturn was ordering me in no uncertain terms to set boundaries and distance in order to not be hindered from my true path. I’m really looking forward to seeing what transpires now along the lines of “what I really want”. Can’t wait! x
Libra – sun 25 degrees, Mercury 21 degrees & saturn 21 degrees Aries.
I’ve had the 4 of wands in nearly every tarot reading I’ve done recently !
November decided to take a step back & consolidate our business & life in general. Rather relieved that we had already made that decision as it made what came next much easier to deal with! But we are ready to finish establishing that, nearly finished a massive declutter so we’re more streamlined and we have ideas for the future that we don’t mind taking our time implementing. We’ve become capricorns
Oh I like that! We are becoming Capricorns! Saturn will like that too
Decluttering and streamlining makes space for new expansion. Sounds to me like you’ve done this transit very well!
Jason is surrounded by heroes……love this Kim very uplifting and resonating very well with me right now.
GO SATURN GO!!!!!!!! you are in my eighth house for a long time to come and I am grateful for your presence there I have all that I need right now and that includes you Saturn.
Oh and Janette I am with you on your thoughts, November last year I was pouring a lot of energy into my health and self care I just loved it, re establishing boundaries now, I was also wondering if a long held project would ever lift off and now well I am enjoying the vista from the ship looking forward to meeting the crew for the journey (old and new)
As always Kim your words are a great cosmic blast of positive reinforcement
