Saturn though!.......

I have written about my interest and fascination with astrology.....it is so fascinating to me for so many reasons.....and the more I learn the more peace I find in my life......understanding along with my faith, that the planetary cosmic flow that finds us all in our day to day is for a very specific and greater good.....and even though it may be challenging it is worth it on the other side.....Saturn is the dreaded planet in the astrology world, sort of like a joke among folks, because Saturn comes into our lives in a cycle carrying heavy lessons and seeking to have us gain wisdom as he exits our orbit.....and Saturn is rough......you can feel it very heavily.......

"In astrology, Saturn is often called the god of karma or justice. It is associated with ethics, justice, career, achievements in life, virtues and values. It also represents a concern with long term planning or foresight. The return of Saturn is said to mark significant events in a person's life."

Saturn came into my chart when my ex began his affair and his finally finishing out his influence over my chart......by February.......Saturn stays for 2 plus years......and I have to say that I have conflicted feelings about it all......while I have most definitely felt Saturn's presence in my life, and have been brought to my knees by the lessons that were brought to me, and a part of me is rejoicing in knowing my cycle is finished for at least 7 years or so;-) .......I do feel a deep sense of gratitude alongside of that. Grateful for the transformation in my life, and the wisdom left in his wake....... and I can't say that when I know Saturn will be arriving again that I won't have a moment of feeling some kinda way;-) but fear won't be it......it will be more of an understanding that my life is about to take another transformational turn......if I am brave enough to face it all.......because alongside the hard parts, there has been so much light in my life too during this time, while he has been orbiting my flow.......and nothing is one way right?.....not all good........ or bad......and my astrology friend is careful not to attach "good" or "bad" to any of it.......because that isn't it.......it is just all for a purpose.......and even though some stuff that happens in our lives feels bad, it is for the greater good, for our inner evolution.......every single time.....so this New Year will be the first one in a bit that won't be laden with Saturn's heaviness, and I am looking forward to some lighter planetary goodness that will be coming to find me in the New Year! I have come to be able to feel the shifts......and feel when the planet is heavy and when it is light and freeing! So I will bid Saturn farewell in my life for now with gratitude in my heart and bravery for the next time we meet;-)
