If anyone can successfully tangle with Saturn, it’s Jupiter. From his position in Virgo, Jupiter, now retrograde, squares Saturn in Sagittarius, direct, at roughly 16.5 degrees in the mutable axis on March 23rd. A short while later, on May 26th, Jupiter and Saturn square again, at approximately 13.75 degrees on the mutable dial. This time, Jupiter moves in direct motion while Saturn retrogrades.
Pretty much any aspect between Jupiter and Saturn is potent. Pretty much any aspect between Jupiter and Saturn holds the potential to go Jupiter’s way and lend benefic results, or Saturn’s way and leave Saturnian stuff behind... not as fun and a lot more work. Of all Jupiter-Saturn aspects the most potent are the conjunction, square and opposition. Given the square, the applied tension, which equals motivation, inspires the urge to overcome any obstacle that moves onto the path, challenging and daring the path traveler to go beyond the beyond and manifest amazing results.
Jupiter and Saturn together symbolize perfect operation of the heart. Jupiter expands, Saturn contracts, ideally representing systolic and diastolic functions. Jupiter without Saturn is just too much, overinflating. Saturn without Jupiter is too little, withering. With a square between Jupiter and Saturn the perfect measure of blind, optimistic pursuit of opportunity mixes with caution, preparation and groundedness in a nearly perfect measure.
Jupiter insists that any circumstance be approached first with a sense of purpose, then with a clear philosophical baseline such that the circumstances receive circumspect consideration to ensure they align with what one believes. Jupiter demands boldness, optimism and courage during the approach. Barring those qualities, Jupiter can get by with bravado, opportunism and the innocence of the fool.
Saturn requires preparation, dedication, discipline, expertise, quality and wisdom. There are no substitutes.
Both the March and May squares between these beautiful, ringed gaseous giants fall in aspect to the Great Attractor (14 Sag 14 Sag) and three potent black holes lying between 16 and 19 degrees of Sagittarius. These galactic influences add a superlative dose of energy and insight to the ongoing Jupiter and Saturn pattern over the next two months. In short, with consciousness and commitment to cause, the promise of manifestation scores high on the scale of probability.
The Great Attractor demands attention to everything... everything, excluding nothing. If all possibilities are considered without bias, solutions outside one’s “boxed thinking” more easily appear. The payoff for such wide-ranging consideration is the Great Attractor’s ability to see beyond obstacles, over the next rise in the road, and around the next bend.
The black hole combo pattern delivers a few principle axioms to use as augmentation in support of basic beliefs.
First, practice what you preach. If this is not possible, ask the following question: If your desired or intended actions fail to align with your beliefs, should you modify actions to be in accord with beliefs; or adjust beliefs to include actions that check out as real and organic?
Next be an expert in what you seek to do. If you do not yet measure in expert stature, seek experience. From those experiences realize the benefit is wisdom and expertise. There’s that cautioning saying that those who cannot, teach. Avoid those folks. There are those who say that you teach what you need to learn. Avoid those folks. If you need consul or a mentor, seek out the wisest and the best. Most successful entrepreneurs declare you do not need to be the brightest bulb in the strand. However, you do need to hire the smartest and the best to be in the room with you.
When you know something, declare it as such. All the while, maintain receptivity to new information that may enhance what you know. Including more information actually permits a greater trust in your dialed-in focus.
Back in the olden days, when blueprints and electronic circuitry were designed by hand, those drafting the plans often used a straightedge device known as a T-square. With these instruments, the certainty of straight lines and perfection of the schematic gained credibility.
In days, Venus in Pisces approaches the Jupiter-Saturn square. It will be there between the 24th to 25th of March. This transit combines with the Jupiter-Saturn quadrature to form a T-square. Adding the Venus placement, new creative innovation appears, yearning for integration, design, budgeting and scheduling. Given attention to the arrival of Venus, under the auspices of the domains of Jupiter and Saturn, is there anything that cannot be designed, implemented or accomplished? That’s intended to be rhetorical. Instead of debating or speculation of the interrogative, it is far better to engage the inspirations at hand and head toward real world manifestation.
Here are a few questions that symbolically fit this pattern, offering more rhetorical speculation: Is it better to have a CD of music, or a huge playlist on an electronic device? Is it better to have a DVD or a downloaded movie? Is one more real that the other? What if a handheld device is misplaced? What if the storage cloud crashes?
And with these questions circulating, does it work to hold ideas in the imagination and spin concepts only in the cranium? Is it better to write things down, draw schematics and print out those budgets and schedules from the device upon which it was conjured?
Regardless of the answers to those questions or any that may have appeared from reading this post, between now and the end of May, the largest planets in the solar system favor those who dream, dare and do. Time to be the hero in your life story... a hero full of derring-do; those daring and doing!
More soon.
