Saturn in Pisces – is this right-angle a square?

Saturn as Astrological entity is the ruler of Capricorn. In Greek Mythology, Saturn aka Cronus was one of the Titans, and the father of Zeus. The myth story includes that Saturn/Cronus had been advised that one of his children would usurp him so in a bid to defy this prophecy Saturn ate all his children to ensure he would never be dethroned as the King of the Gods.

Saturn is representative of Limits and Structure and for me when looking at these Saturn archetype I ponder how these might be affected by spending some time in the constellation of Pisces –  from March 2023 to Feb 2026 – where watery Boundless Pisces is the opposite of ‘Limits and Structure’ – how will each seemingly dichotomous ‘energies’ impact the other?

Many astrologers are suggesting that Saturn into Pisces will be very supportive – bringing the benefits of  a ‘disciplined/structured approach’ to any endeavours that maybe having difficulty with finding and taking form. Known for its ‘murky Nebulousness’ – Pisces doesn’t fit/sit well with the logic of the Left brain approach and is therefore hard to ‘work with’ if/when the desired outcomes are expected to behave in a predicable, logical manner. One ‘activity’ that can benefit from Saturn’s disciplined approach inside a very Piscean realm is spiritual practices: Meditation for example requires commitment, efforts to make Contact with the inner Self is a ‘discipline’ – but what I’m feeling/sensing from this ‘pairing’ -(Saturn into Pisces) is the opportunity for a re-think on how to view ‘Structures’ and how to apply a less limiting approach by way of altered perspectives – i.e. a new way to see/view (the world) which can promote an approach more like river water or tidal movement rather than the building of more solid/limiting structures into watery realms.

Evidence for this Piscean softer more flexible approach can be seen in the way that more and more people are questioning the status-quo i.e. the structured storylines within the civilised herd. Old narratives (contrived and delivered by old media/news outlets for example) on how things are/have always been – are now beginning to lose their previously unchallenged unassailable position of authority. The sense of ‘stability, reliability and trustworthiness that traditionally came with Saturn  –are beginning to falter due mostly to the constraints of Time and Place that are (also) part of Saturn’s well defined influence. All things (except Source) are ‘limited’ via finite nature and it is becoming ever clearer that Saturn type ‘institutions’ e.g. Banks, Governments Old corporations (e.g. Murdoch Press, Theories – including the medical model and ever-changing historical evidence/facts – see new findings in archaeology) ‘Standards/Traditions are losing their appeal because the ‘structures’ that underpin their (once) functional dictates are being altered by new ‘facts’ and revelations of deliberate bias’s and corruption –appearing literally ‘out of the (Piscean) blue’. Structures once deemed totally legitimate, incorruptible and dependable are now being questioned by the ‘intelligent Waters of the 12th House Pisces Wisdom-keepers.

Systems, ideas, ideals – that once held a degree of prestige/power: authority due to these aforementioned factors – old ways are becoming ever more visibly corrupted and contaminated like rust on steel – and because of these Piscean influences the motivation that once used to inspire the Capricornian push to ‘climb to the top’ – no longer holds the same level of interest for those who are beginning to ‘see’ what’s going on – including many of the younger generations. These people whose ‘vision‘ is clearer (wearing fog-goggles) can see what aspiration to acquiring (excess) money has done and is doing to the planet that we all call home. These old ways/structures are melting, rusting – soon to crumble as more (questions are being asked and more ‘awakened folk’ turn away from systems and structures that are no longer capable of supporting and serving the real needs of (ALL) the people and the evolutionary push into a new era/paradigm.  

In my opinion the work directly in front of us is that of discernment – some ‘structures/limits/disciplines – guidelines will be required as helpful – beneficial in the supporting and ushering in the changes needed. The choosing of what to keep and what to throw can be ably assisted by Saturn who very conveniently is also Lord of karma – but first we need a solid structure (understanding) of what is meant by Karma. Einstein suggested that a good and proper definition for lunacy/idiocy is to keep doing the same thing – i.e. repeating actions – over and over while expecting different outcomes. In the same fashion Karma holds us to account for how/when we respond and for acceptance/responsibility of the resulting consequences. Karma is the Law of Cause and Effect – i.e. what we Think. Do and Say –in each moment will produce/dictate particular outcomes in the moment(s) to follow. So we get clever, we become aware – we consider past behaviours and the associated consequences and then we take conscious action, make good choices.

With Saturn squaring the Moon in Gemini – (Full to bursting right now) we can clearly see that some Saturnian hard edges are in need of ‘softening’ water therapy. Some of the Old ways/structures are no longer relevant. It is (Time) for us to make conscious choices in this moment – in this Now. Pisces rules the 12th House of ‘Culmination’ within inside the Zodiac: the Repository of all Wisdom – knowledge, information and data gleaned through experience and traversing all the other (eleven) Houses is stored here. Some commentators suggest that ‘we are living inside ‘The matrix’ and the two concepts (12th house holding all wisdom and the Matrix as ‘everything’) are quite compatible. I love the idea that ‘everything there is to know’ is in one place – ‘A One stop Shop’ – but because ‘Source’ has such a delightful Sense of Humour – the promise of the premise is thus: accessing of the Wisdom is only available to those who are open to receiving information via the ‘Boundless/Piscean feeling Self’ and who willingly pay the price and trade in the correct currency. In recent history – during the Kovid crisis we were (in most counties) mandated by governments to undergo a ‘New’ medical treatment. Marketed as a “safe and Effective’ treatment – the scant information about the ‘product’ and any unknown side effects – was limited. The majority of the population – in each mandated country did as they were told – a minority wanted more information – which would provide the opportunity to make an informed decision. Those who chose not to comply were quickly ostracised – labelled dissenters and charged with putting the broader community at risk – society was divided.

This ‘societal division’ is a wonderful example of the notion that some of Saturn’s structures (and indeed mindsets that cling to such outmoded concepts) are in need of an update – a Matrix Re-boot. At this point in human history (Nov 2023) there are examples aplenty that give illustration of how the ‘Old’ (Saturn) ways really do add limits where there should instead be a more inclusive Piscean sharing – open discussion on topics that potentially affect all people. There is for example more detail coming to light (inside alternate media platforms) informing that there may indeed be information about UFO’s but that this information is being withheld from public access. Surely this is another example of Old Ways – the persistent attempts by a ‘Few Good Men’ inside the Old structures trying to Control the situation and the people by retaining information – because “We can’t Handle the Truth”.

Once again it becomes incumbent upon each of us to take responsibility for decisions and choices. Even if we were to gain access to all the ‘data’ – how do we make a proper choice – particularly when there are differing views backed by more evidence/data. When the new AI robots will tell us that they respond to each situation/event/question in accordance with their particular ‘programming’- does this not beg for inquiry from us? Are we capable of locating information from sources other than our own conditioning/programming. Are we fated to make choices based upon a past -traumatic experience – don’t try new things for fear of punishment? Thankfully there is this overriding energetic shift – Pisces altering the Old limited Chronos – find your own God, your own Source and allow the all-pervasive intelligence to discriminate on your behalf.

Oh Sag you and your Big Mouth

With the Sun having moved into Sagittarius and with Chiron (still) in Aries opposite Venus in domicile Libra – I felt moved to finger the keyboard – let the words in my mind (whatever/wherever that is) spill out onto the pages of 5D – of this blog site.

A little while back I used to be a regular contributor to an Astrology ‘club’ – members were invited to   submit their ideas, views – opinions on current affairs etc. incorporating astrological themes, schemes and concepts into the subject matter of their choosing. These ‘comments’ became part of a platform – a viewing area which allowed all members of the site to read and respond – should any content pique the interest of others.

On occasion I would add a post to the site after having taken a stroll along my local beach. I was sometimes awed by what used to be found along the shoreline that was somehow magikally linked to the musings occurring inside my own noggin – amid my thoughts -wherever are they located how are they ever found?

On one such walk I found a stone and a shell. The stone was an unbelievably accurate miniature of Klimt’s Kiss – see below -and the shell took the form of a human ear. I had been ruminating in the days prior about Vincent Van Gough so this shell was obviously the calcified remains of the artists ode to love.

So today (22/11/2023) as the Sun moved into Sagittarius and after walking the beach (and also taking a dive into the Indian Ocean aqua) I was thinking of the Yod contained within my personal Natal Chart and as focal point of my Yod I have the Moon conjunct Saturn in Scorpio. Saturn as (male) authority and the Moon as feminine principle – Heart/Head – and how to use these seemingly dichotomous/opposing energies/forces to further my quest for self-understanding – for holding the Tension of the opposites – of holding hands.

As I walked today I thought of a song by an Australian singer songwriter (Paul Kelly) who penned a song titled ‘Going about my Father’s Business” which alludes to the way we unconsciously follow in the footsteps as laid down by our primary teachers – i.e. our parents. Amid the lyrics inside the poetry of the song are the words “What’s done to me I’ll do to mine” As part of my Yod work it is for me to become conscious of these inherited traits – the way my father was ‘in the world’ – how he conducted himself – especially regarding within relationships to those closest to him. I need to somehow find, see and amend where necessary -the ways of behaving that bore no positive result and paying particular attention to ways of being – of relating that produced hurt– so that what had been ‘done’ to my father – who in turn passed these ‘done things’ onto me – that I could use my Moon wisdom to alter these deleterious Saturn actions – to mindfully modify the harsh and limited structure to become an offer of kindness and support for those for whom I care.  Thank you Dad – I know in your actions you did all you could – thank you Paul Kelly for the reminder – thank you Mother (moon) for continually calling me into the fog to dissolve my limited shell-coat where in the act of embracing of kissing the beloved I also whisper – words of Love, words of apology for any/all trespass – as Paul also sings – Forgive Me – Forgive Me
