Watch the Sky: Saturn and Fear of the Future.
Until May 11th, Saturn is debilitated in D9/Navamsha chart and debilitated in Pada, Aries, so its dark energies of fear, depression and laziness may manifest. When Saturn is weak, people worry more about the future.
The mind cannot produce emotions at an abstract level, so it becomes attached to something in the environment. Most of what we fear is psychological hallucination. Eckhart Tolle reminds us that 99% of our thoughts are garbage, so why believe them? My mantra for Saturn is to recognize the mental noise in your head and say, “Saturn you can go now”. I don’t need fear. We do have the ability to not just accept the crap in our heads, if we are conscious and spiritual beings, our destiny is to command the planets.
Most of the things we worry about won’t happen, and it’s the 1% of surprises that scare us away. Fear is a survival mechanism that keeps us away from danger. If we put our hands in a fire as children, we learn not to do it again, but we may remain desperately afraid of fire our entire lives. Just remember that most of the things we worry about never happen and ignore it.
Saturn rules the base chakra and spiritual people often exercise their upper chakra through meditation, but if their root chakra is not developed and Saturn is weak in their chart, then their financial planning, infrastructure and The connection to the earth will be a little out of balance. This creates a lot of instability and fear. It’s like a pyramid. If the base of the pyramid is strongly supported, energy can move to a higher peak. If we have a solid bank account and savings plan, then we are free to pursue our spiritual development without losing balance. If the pyramid was turned upside down, with the energy at the base being low and all the energy at the top being strong, there would be no stability to support all spiritual growth. Current transportation is challenging our system.
The Aquarius/Leo axis calls for balancing our individual ego and personal development needs with our concerns for humanity and the greater community. There is a need for more service work within social groups and support for humanitarian efforts. From Gaza to Haiti, Sudan to North Africa, there are many newly distressed groups, and volunteering or donating to charity is one way to appease these Saturnian energies.
Practice more meditation, yoga and breathing to transform energy. Chair poses in yoga ground us in the earth chakras, like Tadasana, allowing us to feel our feet gripping the earth, which creates more security in our lives. Use fear as a wake-up call to take care of your finances, get into your body, and take care of your health. Find the magician’s “sleeves of fear” and expose his fraud. You are infinitely safe in this universe.
Afflicted Saturn in Aries or D9 Aries Pada requires us to go slower; not to run around like a rabbit and not to do too much; otherwise, our anxiety levels will increase and we are more likely to suffer from High blood pressure or anxiety-related conditions. You can avoid this by drinking plenty of hot water and calming herbal teas, slowing down, doing slow exercise, getting an essential oil massage, and eating hot foods. If you are in a Saturn cycle or have your ascendant ruled by Capricorn or Aquarius, you may feel more of the effects in the coming months and into January 2025. The planets are your friends if you listen to their advice and do your job.
On a personal level, using transits to change the unconscious fears deep within you is what is about to heal. What are you afraid of? What are you avoiding facing? What can you do to get out of this situation?
Again, diagrams are very personal and we don’t want to stereotype through symbols, but sometimes it’s a way to immediately point out core issues in a person’s life.
