Saturn...The Lord of Karma?

Saturn ....The Lord of Karma?

Your pain is but the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding

As I sit down with my notebook today and begin to pen these words, I am mindful of a dear friend who has recently lost her Mother to Covid 19 along with another twelve souls in a care home in Yorkshire.

I am especially mindful of how fortunate I am to be afforded the luxury of sitting here in my garden in the Spanish sunshine. I am truly grateful for all I have in my life at this time..I have no real monetary wealth yet my life has a richness beyond the coin.

This is a time of profound reflection where all of us, are being given an opportunity to come together as a planetary tribe and examine what needs to be changed, restructured and transformed here on Earth... and in our own personal realities. How do we honour both Gaia and the divine within self?

I've had so many folks contact me asking me if this virus is Karmic.. is this a balancing of the `cosmic` book? A form of payback for man's`abuse of our planet? Is it now we pay the ferryman?

Whether Gaia is the bio engineer here or whether it was some crazed act of bio terrorism it doesnt really matter anymore!... It is here.... and what matters now, is how our global leaders our governments and how we collectively and individually deal with it......

From a purely astrological perspective, we have not seen these planetary alignments for over 500 years think about that ...

Saturn is not the only player in the mix here...yet I wanted to focus on Saturn in this blog simply because Saturn is said to be the `Lord of karma` The great `Father` and has earned the reputation of `The great Malefic`

Saturn is known as the conventional conformist, the mature traditionalist..the great protector and of course Saturn the law maker,the limiter and the slave master...

Saturn is representative of our earth realities, all`man- made` patriarchal systems, our banking systems, our pharmaceutical systems our societal laws and security. Saturn rules authorities and governments. In short...Saturn is the `Sheriff `of the twelve astrological signs.

Saturn represents our own fathers or any major `care giver` in life..and in my view attributes to the childhood guilt imprinted upon us ..when we dare to break from parental law, family tradition and herd state thinking.... and guilt prolongs suffering, it suffocates individualism, limits personal growth and personal truth and our soul evolution.

With Pluto riding alongside him in the Cosmos, Saturn represents `The wolf in sheep's clothing`..all the while assuming the guise of `the security blanket`

Let's take a moment here to reflect on the mythology of Saturn.......

Saturn the Roman God is known as Cronus in Greek mythology.... he is known for devouring

his children to maintain his position of authority and control ... lets be VERY mindful of that... Saturn ATE his children....

Throughout history Pharaohs, Emperors. Kings and Queens alike have committed infanticide and silenced any dissident voice that threatened their power and position .. and right now we have another major player in this `cosmic chess game` Pluto...not a topic for this blog ...however.... briefly...Pluto {Scorpio) ...in medical astrology is alchemical transmutation through osmosis of`another or `object` on a molecular level ... VIRUS!

Pluto has been in Capricorn since 2008 (the last financial crash) and Pluto will remain in Capricorn until 2024...

Pluto is also the sex death and rebirth planet...he represents our ancestral DNA. Plutocratic power, oil, and secret agendas...Pluto on a deeper spiritual level represents the deepest aspect of ourselves. Wherever Pluto is In the birth chart this is where we have deep emotion,attachments and fears that are ready for transmutation and healing in this lifetime.

Saturn has been transiting in Aquarius from March 21 and will remain there until July 1st 2020. With This Aquarian transit (astrologically speaking ..this viral crisis) Aquarian energy has temporarily loosened Saturn's grip and thrown governments into chaos.. if only for a moment in time .. capitalism has been laid dormant....allowing Gaia to take a deep breath and for us to briefly step out of the harness.

Jupiter the planet of truth and natural law (also in Capricorn) is now shining a light onto governmental and societal corruption..(again not the topic for this blog} but just turn on your TV and see how Saturn and his army of `suits` are struggling to maintain these systems, their markets and the catastrophic failures of governments to protect its citizens from this virus.

Saturn will back track into Capricorn on July the 1st until December 17th and finally in early January 2021. he will begin to move into Aquarius for a good few years....

It is then that we have a real chance to change our own lives...to find true richness .... to transform (Aquarius) to think outside the box (Aquarius) to innovate (Aquarius) and to fully embrace the natural laws of Jupiter (king of the Gods) to use more Solar power, more wind and wave power ....we have a myriad of natural resources and with mans ingenuity there is a chance for us to make these changes.

It is a time to revolutionise in a natural way but only if we can step out of conventional mindsets and global organizations consider lives before markets...

Saturn having been In Aquarius since March has allowed Gaia to take a deep breath. A cosmic pause.....The wheels of capitalism have been lain silent and see how quickly Gaia replenishes ...we have dolphins swimming in Venetian canals The Himalayas sighted for the first time in three decades in Beijing!

And yet we already see government leaders opening to trade again...rather than support its people financially, and fully heal their sick ....and our planet.. in my view far too prematurely ..but hey! ....we cant upset the shareholders can we ?

Its imperative that we now stay alert to any further hurriedly contrived political agendas!

Saturn will transit back into Capricorn July 1st and to be sure he will crack the whip again ... there are no `free handouts` we will be made to pay...and should the pandemic be stemmed by June/ July allowing a travel window , We we could still face the possibility of a further viral wave...stay awake people!
