SATURN RETROGRADE IN PISCES

On June 17, 2023, Saturn at 7° Pisces goes into retrograde motion.

 

Saturn, known as the teacher, the disciplinarian, and the task maker works in a much more favourable manner while in its retrograde cycle. It will return to direct motion by November 4, 2023, and it will still be in Pisces.

 

While direct Saturn can create challenging conditions. It often stagnates growth, makes you work much harder for any rewards, which in many cases does not reflect the work you have put into the project and generally suggests more responsibilities.

 

Through the retrograde motion Saturn stays in Pisces going as low as 30 minutes Pisces. Pisces is often linked to spirituality and enhanced creative abilities. It also suggests that this is a time for less self-absorption and leans more towards service of some kind. Pisces has great sensitivity, and the psychic realms are often exposed. Intuition can be strong, and dreams can become very significant and easier to correlate into life’s experience.

 

Saturn works in a minor way with a connection to the energies of Jupiter. It is not as positive and optimistic about advancing with objectives, but it does promote more potential through hard work and efficient and controlled effort. Anything that you might have been trying to achieve may now have greater potential for advancement during Saturn retrograde especially things that deal with business and work or your career. Things that have been held back or put on the back burner now have a greater chance of success.

 

A clear and more concise understanding of the psychic realms may now be brought forward. There is greater potential for things being reliable and steadfast; and illusion, which is part of Pisces’ energy, may now be lifted long enough for you to get a clear grasp of this realm of existence. You may also be drawn to working for the underdog or working within the framework of hospitals or in seniors’ residence. It is a time of giving, not a time of receiving, although the possibility of compensation of some kind is also present.

 

Your creativity is enhanced during this time. Acting and music can be fulfilling. You may feel you are now able to let your energies flow and they tend to flow easier. You have until November to get things moving so it is best to begin as soon as possible.

HOPE AND ENLIGHTENMENT

Are you hopeful?

 

Is a change in your focus required?

 

Getting caught up in life’s struggles can be a hard habit to break. As mentioned in many previous posts, control of our focus is a staple. Our focus amplifies whatever we are focused on. It can create peace if that is our focus or it can amplify chaos if that is where we focus.

 

When we reach out for help or go within for direction, we begin the process of opening the door to hope and the eventual light that follows. Hope is the first step in creating change.

 

From hope we step into “knowing”. When we foster knowing, life begins to shift. We are becoming aware of the thought process and how it dictates our life. We can now know beyond doubt that the shift we are looking for begins with us.

 

Enlightenment stems from this process. As we open the door to encourage it, we release doubt and anxiety. Enlightenment is the knowing process brought forward by eliminating any thoughts of defeat. We allow ourselves to be enlightened beings simply by following the thoughts that bring us peace.

 

This may not happen overnight. We have programmed ourselves to allow stress and anxiety for most of our lives. The truth, however, is now accessible through our attitude of change. It has always been available but we have not allowed it. You and you alone hold the key to advancing this. Believe in yourself and be open. You will achieve whatever you set out to. Will it be hope and enlightenment?

PLUTO IN AQUARIUS BUILDING ON OUR FUTURE

We are having a slight influence by Transiting Pluto moving from Capricorn into the sign of Aquarius (March to mid-June 2023). Pluto moves back into Aquarius in early 2024 only to move back into Capricorn one more final time from September to November 2024. After that Pluto will remain in the sign of Aquarius for approximately 21 years.

 

Pluto in Capricorn produced times when security and structure went through some dramatic changes. There is still some work to be done and many Astrologers believe that any planet in the final degree of a sign has urgency attached to its energies.

 

Capricorn deals with business, Government and economic development. It is strongly tied to earth and physical reality matters. Achievement and advancement are its best attributes while turmoil and economic challenges are its worst characteristics. We can expect some turmoil and disruption perhaps on a higher level before things get better and changes take hold during the Pluto in Aquarius timeframe.

 

When Pluto does finally move into Aquarius on a permanent basis humanitarian concerns may increase and hopefully the governing agencies around the world will come together collectively with solutions for the planet as a whole. It could take 10 years or more to really get things moving in the right direction, but over time it will unfold.

 

Pluto is about transformation and radical change especially when connected to the energies of Aquarius. Something must end for something new to begin. There are no half measures. Hopefully we move forward in a gentle manner but there will likely be power struggles and rebellions before we begin to see more positive results. Many believe that we are the forerunners of this revolution and evolution taking hold on our planet. We have come at a critical time in man’s evolution and we will need to do our part to move the wave in the appropriate direction. It begins with you and in many cases right at the home and family level.

 

Things can move in unexpected ways during this time frame as T Uranus will also move into the sign of Gemini permanently in the spring of 2026. Gemini should suit the energies of Uranus. Neptune will also move into Aries on a permanent basis in early 2026. Spirituality will likely be enhanced and a strong push for personal advancement in this area should be in place for many.

 

It will be exciting to see where humanity decides to take its next step but be ready for change and disruption to what no longer works. Hopefully the leaders of our world will begin to work together rather than create disruption and realize that we are all in this together.

 

Do your part!

 

The initiation into this new age now begins.

SAGITTARIUS FULL MOON JUNE 3, 2023

June 3, we will be experiencing the Full Moon in the sign of Sagittarius at 13°. It is making a wide trine to T Mars which conjuncts this placement ten days later. On the Full Moon, Mars will be at almost 8° Leo, so out by 5°. The Sagittarius Full Moon is the harvest of what was put into place during the New Moon phase in the same sign some six months ago.

 

The trine from Mars suggests that an action plan is likely in place or that you can now push forward and see the results of your efforts since the New Moon phase. Mars suggests that more can be done and that although this is a culmination point, you can still push a little further with what is already in place. Mars is the driving agent and allows for further progress but not without effort.

 

Sagittarius’ energies such as travelling plans, publishing plans, new religious ideals, a new outlook on life from a very positive direction and a feeling that things are going to turn out fine are the focal points. There may be or have been a push for a greater identification with the spiritual side of life. Perhaps more meditation or joining some group with similar interests is in order. Life’s philosophy is going through changes, and you need to adapt.

 

If the motivation has not been in place for these goals (defined by the house placement of the Full Moon), then the planting of seeds, perhaps a goal to reach your objective or a letting go of things altogether, needs to be revisited. The house position defines areas of life that are involved and if this position of the Full Moon contacts any planet or angle in the natal chart especially by conjunction or opposition then this positioning will be relevant for you.

 

Have a look at what the natal chart defines and see how this amplifies what is already in place. After the conjunction and opposition then look at the square, trine and sextile. They must be within 3° of the Full Moon’s positioning to have consequence.

TRANSITING SATURN SEXTILE NATAL VENUS

T Saturn is currently (May 2023) in the sign of Pisces and remains there until February 15, 2026 when it moves into Aries. During its Piscean stay everyone with their N Venus in the signs Taurus or Capricorn will be experiencing a sextile from T Saturn to their N Venus. The time frame will depend on the degree of Venus in the birth chart.

 

T Saturn suggests that the time is ripe for learning and for lessons being taught through obstacles to overcome. Something often stands in the way of progress, and we must move through the challenge that Saturn presents. These are valuable lessons as Saturn is the disciplinarian and teaches us through perseverance and life experiences.

 

Saturn will, however, offer rewards for hard work and if we do not let things slide and work through its lessons, it provides a much richer foundation built to stand the test of time. It teaches us restraint, organization, discipline and patience.

 

Venus is often about love and affection and can also deal with our finances and our need to be social. Venus also has to do with young woman or women in general (Mars has to do with young men). Venus and Saturn often do not work well together and during hard transits it can suggest the breaking of relationships and hard lessons being taught. Sextiles are not considered hard aspects however. They are aspects of harmony and life moving along in a favourable manner. They suggest that an opportunity is at hand.

 

Saturn can solidify a relationship that has had its ups and downs and may promote it to move to the next level. Opportunities are at hand for favourable outcomes when love and affection are part of the life experience. This does not necessarily mean that life will flow smoothly as Saturn always suggests hard work and disciplined effort. It does suggest that the potential for an upturn in love or with the finances is possible. Check if your N Venus is aspected in the natal chart to get a clearer picture. The natal chart tells the story and transits open doors.

LIFE IS COMPLICATED

Life is a complex series of events and experiences. We move through life and learn from each event. In many cases we must sift through our mind to understand some of these events. The people involved can take us to places we don’t want to go or in contrast show us places we never imagined possible. Life is complicated at times especially when there are hard lessons to learn. We are here to experience, however, and life is the teacher.

 

Regardless of how life unfolds, it is imperative to wrap our arms around it and know that no matter what comes our way we will grow from these experiences. If it was easy all the time, we would stagnate.

 

Some believe that are being here is a choice. Some believe that we picked this life and our life’s circumstances. This can be hard to grasp especially when we go through trauma and stressful experiences.

 

When we recognize that we must take responsibility for, at the bare minimum, our response to life, life can change. This does not mean that when someone harms us we take responsibility for their actions. What it does mean is that on some level it will assist us to grow and hopefully at some point let go and move on.

 

Life can be hard, but it can also be magnificent. Life is full of wonder and a life well lived encompasses both trying and pleasurable experiences.

SUN IN GEMINI TRANSITS

The Sun moved into Gemini (Mutable, Air, sign) on May 21, 2023.

 

For information on Sun in Gemini, please read our post from Monday, May 23 at https://holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/50432312-sun-in-gemini?siteId=126690493&locale=en-US

 

Pluto is currently in Aquarius an Air sign although only for a short period of time when it moves back into Capricorn mid-June. Pluto will be making a trine to anyone with an early Sun sign in Gemini of perhaps up to 3°. Pluto is about transformation and change and can be subtle at first but over time (may take up to two years before the change is complete) Pluto will insist on something being let go so that the new can take its place. There are no halfway measures about Pluto and whatever it touches goes through dynamic change and a rebirth on some level. Much will depend on the houses involved in the chart as these determine the areas of life involved.

 

T Neptune is still in Pisces and will remain in this sign until 2025. Those with their Sun in the later degrees of Gemini will be experiencing the square between the Sun and T Neptune. The square suggests challenges and may blur reality. If this is a relationship, are you seeing it clearly?

 

Do you have rose colored glasses on when looking at this person?

 

Placing people on a pedestal is often what Neptune square the Sun can indicate.

 

Is there a potential that your goals are unattainable?

 

Ask for advice and/or input from someone that you trust to be honest.

 

The beauty of a Square is that it is challenging enough to force you into action and you will do your best to alleviate the situation to make things work in a more realistic manner.

 

Saturn is also in Pisces and is making a square to anyone with their sun in the single digit degrees. Currently, Saturn is at 6° Pisces and will go into its retrograde motion June 17 travelling back to 0° Pisces before it begins its forward motion again on November 4, 2023. Saturn remains in Pisces for about 2 ½ years so it will make a square to all Sun in Gemini at some point over this period.

 

Saturn is also a challenging planetary influence and often suggests that there will be hurdles to overcome, delays in reaching your objectives, potential shortfalls and often concerns about reaching your objectives. Saturn wants you to work diligently towards your goals, not to make them too lofty and to have a steady approach. Over time you may reach these goals or at least solidify your objectives and create stability.

 

Happy solar return Gemini.
