Mercury conjunct Saturn in Scorpio

After a few days of optimistic focus on the future combined with a dash of goal setting, today more sound waters roll in as Mercury joins forces with serious Saturn. In other words, it’s time to get back to work.

Mercury and Saturn tend to get us to focus on the more serious side of life, rather than focusing on potential and possibilities. It’s necessary for us to deal with our immediate concerns and focus on what needs to be done now with close attention to details. Although this aspect is notoriously pessimi9stic and tends to see the glass as half empty, the harsh world of reality is often the elixir needed in order to prepare for our future. We all need to take steps in order to create the outcome we desire. Since we are more conscious than normal under this energy, we are able to make sound choices at this time. However, this is not a great day for relationships and our disposition towards others may be a bit challenging.

Your Daily Dose — Sun conjunct Saturn — November 18, 2014

Sun conjunct Saturn in Scorpio

Today we have a major planetary aspect as the Sun in transformative Scorpio conjoins with the dense energies of Saturn. For some, today will be a bit of a downer because it is not filled with cuddly cats or cute dogs with puppy dog tails, but our minds will be focused on our responsibilities and getting the job done.

Saturn is a tough task master because he is concerned with concrete, tangible, and measurable reality. He is not real concerned with how many brilliant ideas you may have; instead he is concerned with what you can actually do and accomplish. So, today is more about putting your nose to the grindstone and completing tasks that require immediate attention rather than focusing on the big picture. Doing so will provide you with more framework in order to concentrate on other things in the future.

On the emotional level, there may be a tendency to feel isolated and alone. Saturn requires self-focus and can sometimes make us feel that we are not understood by others and we have difficulties relating at this time. Do not stay focused on these types of thought patterns as they arise, because the energy of this transit lasts a couple of days and your mood should snap back to normal shortly.

Be good to yourself today!

Your Daily Dose — Venus conjunct Saturn and Mars square Uranus — Nov 12, 2014

November 12, 2014 by Storm Cestavani Leave a Comment

Venus conjunct Saturn in Scorpio
Mars in Capricorn square Uranus in Aries

We have two rather intensive astrological aspects that we are dealing with today. The first is Venus conjunct Saturn in the sign of Scorpio and the second is Mars in Capricorn in square to Uranus in Aries – both aspects can be very difficult in relationships because together they invoke ambivalence.

Let’s begin with Venus conjunct Saturn. This aspect can make us feel rather insecure in our relationships – especially if the relationship is already problematic. In many ways, this aspect brings to the surface all the reasons why we are settling out of a sense of duty to other individuals rather than emotional connection and erotic passions. Further, you may feel less inclined to opening up in relationships because Saturn can induce a need for withdrawal and may indicate a difficulty relating to others at this time.

This dovetails into the restless and impulsive energies that are naturally inherent with Mars square Uranus. These two planets together can be rather explosive and there is a tendency to ‘blow up’ anything that is rudimentary and stale. In fact, the areas of your life that have become overly bound to duty and responsibility can be very apparent at this time making you feel rather agitated. It may be necessary for you to come to terms with your internal frustrations; otherwise, the more difficult traits of this aspect – impulsiveness, rashness, and reactive behavior can rise to the surface.

Now, back to the ambivalence. These two aspects are differently opposite in nature. One reflects being bound to others despite our feelings and the other reflects the need to break free from constraints that may be limiting your potential. It’s necessary that you take some time to be true to yourself and honor both these aspects. It may require compromise or you may need to break off old ties all together. Sometimes the only duty that matters is the one to ourselves.

Be good to yourself today!

Sun Square Saturn — Today’s Astrology — February 11, 2014

Sun in Aquarius will square Saturn in Scorpio at 2:57 PM EST / 11:57 AM PST

Grab your charts. If you need a copy of yours, you can get one for free on my website. If you have any planets around 20-24 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius then this astrological energy will be of increased significance to you.

Are you feeling discouraged? Held back? Denied the life that you want to live? If so, you are not alone! We all go through periods of restrictions, obstacles, discouragement, and we feel that we are beating ourselves against the wall hoping that we can get through to the other side. We all go through it.

Three years ago, I was at a turning point in my life. The world around me had changed in a way that I could no longer manage myself or my business the way that I had managed it up to that point. I was at a breaking point, and although I had achieved a lot in my 40 years on the planet, I fell into a despair that ultimately changed my life. My fears got me to where I was, but I was not going to let them rule me forever. In the process of this change, I had to get busy with the art of living.

On Tuesday, we have an extremely frustrating aspect — The Sun in Aquarius will square Saturn in Scorpio. This aspect can be depressive, very difficult to handle, and can lead to enormous frustrations. You may feel held back by others, by life, or even by your lack of taking personal responsibility. Your energy may be low and you may fall into the depths of despair. I am going to be blunt – this aspect is not easy. However, this energy is necessary for our personal soul growth and evolution.

Rob Hand writes the following in his book, “Planets in Transit”:

“The purpose of discouragement is to reveal weaknesses in your conception of yourself and show where you must work to gain greater confidence in yourself.” (Hand pg. 76)

I found this sentence to be very enlightening. I have read Hand’s book numerous times as an astrologer or astrological student, it is one of the cornerstone textbooks that any practicing or student astrologer should have on their shelves. However, I had never looked at discouragement (possibly because I was not ready) in this manner.

Today, we have an opportunity to look at our personal conception of ourselves. How do you see yourself on the most basic level? Are you where you want to be in life? Are your beliefs about yourself accurate or are they based on fears that may be limiting you? In order to work with Saturn, we must get deep and often get our hands dirty in the darkest corners of our psyche. In many ways, we are required under this transit to refine ourselves and become more real in order to achieve personal fulfillment. By going through this inner process we will find our personal authenticity and reclaim our dignity.

Mercury Square Saturn — Today’s Astrology — January 25, 2014

January 23, 2014 by admin Leave a Comment

Mercury in Aquarius will square Saturn in Scorpio at 6:56 AM EST / 3:56 AM PST

Grab your charts. If you need a copy of yours, you can get one for free at my website. If you have any planets around 18-22 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius then this astrological energy will be of increased significance to you.

This week, Kabbalistically, we are in the portion of the Torah called ‘mishpatim’. This is one of the most predominant weekly portions amongst Kabbalistic scholars because the lesson is about slavery and the laws of cause and effect. The word ‘mishpatim’ means ordinances. In essence, it is about the laws that govern the universe. The insight of this particular portion is the realization that there are two realities – one reality being slavery to the material world and our emotions and the other reality being spirituality and our connection to the light. So, we are given an opportunity this week to choose whether we are slaves or spiritually free.

Yesterday, I wrote at length about aspects weaving into one another. Our current set of aspects began with the Venus – Mars square that occurred earlier in the month and has continued until we finally arrived at today’s aspect which is Mercury square Saturn. Venus – Mars brought to the surface problem areas in our relationships, Mercury sextile Uranus and Mercury trine Mars provided us with the insight to change our situation combined with the action to resolve our difficulties. However, Mercury square Saturn can often lead us to slipping back into our old behavioral patterns (often without realizing it) because they are familiar and easy.

How many times have you begun a new course or decided to behave in a different way or decided that a particular way someone was behaving was unacceptable? How many times have you created boundaries in your life only to slip back into old patterns a few days later? Although it may feel easier at the time, usually we feel guilty when the same problems begin to occur again in our lives. Mercury square Saturn is a test of whether or not we have the courage of our convictions. This is a very challenging aspect because Mercury rules the mind and Saturn rules limitations, and when the two get together one can often feel depressed, at odds with themselves, deeply conflicted, and can have great difficulty expressing themselves to others. This can lead us to seek solace of our past behavior patterns. This can be extremely problematic and can often lead us from a place of “freedom” back into the fettered clutches of slavery.

Sun in Capricorn sextile Saturn in Scorpio at 8:39 AM EST / 5:39 AM PST

Grab your charts. If you need a copy of yours, you can get one for free at my website. If you have any planets around 19-23 degrees of Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, or Pisces this forecast’s energies will be more significant for you.

It’s the second Saturday of the New Year and the positive aspect train of the day continues. The last two aspect, (Venus sextile Saturn and Sun conjunct Venus) focused primarily on relationships. This blog post will be more self-focused.

At this point, everyone should have their resolutions sorted, gifted returned and exchanged, and ‘thank you’ letters and cars sent. It’s now time to get down to some serious business and Sun sextile Saturn gives us the right energy to do it.

Since this is a New Year, have you considered what you would like to achieve over the next 365 days? Would you like a new job? Explore a different career path? Find a relationship? There are many different avenue that we can use the New Year to plot some self-improvement, yet in order to achieve the desired results, it might require a bit of work. Sun sextile Saturn is an excellent time to focus on getting things done and examining our ambitions (Saturn rules ambitious oriented Capricorn) and make the plans necessary for you to achieve them in the physical world.

Take some time out of your day today to really analyze the direction you would like to take this year. In addition, list the path to get what you want. If you use mind maps or vision boards, now is the time to get them out. This exercise might require a bit of serious thinking and deep thought, but there is no better time than a Sun sextile Saturn aspect to explore your future in a tangible way with a strategy to get what you want.
