Saturn in Scorpio


Saturn in Scorpio

On October 5 transiting Saturn moved into the sign of Scorpio where it will remain for approximately for the next 2 1/2 years.

Saturn is the planet that structures our lives through achievement and responsibility.  Saturn is known for its “taskmaster” qualities, testing our character through limitation. The lessons associated with Saturn shows us where potential lies through the paradoxical box it seemingly holds us in.

Scorpio deals with the inner sanctums of life and the underworld of our psyche. There is nothing casual or aloof about Scorpio. Power, control, conflict, death/rebirth, vulnerability, secrecy, co-mingling of resources (connection), and sexuality are some of the key descriptions associated with Scorpio. Bringing a theme of intensity that gets down and dirty.

Saturn entering Scorpio’s realm immediately challenges control and power. Showing us the box we have built in the name of fear and summoning us to break free from its limitations. The key during this time is to accept the restrictions placed upon you by Saturn’s energy by giving up the control that Scorpio so desperately hangs on to in the name of invulnerability. Saturn in Scorpio teaches “restriction” is the letting go. In other words, surrender to what you cannot control. 

It is also a phase of maturity that Scorpio must face. An opportunity for us to take a look at our personal underworld and be responsible for clearing out what no longer serves us and use our power wisely. With a Saturn cycle we are asked to examine our deepest inadequacies and transform them into strength and mastery moving towards maturity and growth.

The transformational nature and emotional drive of Scorpio wants to feel deeply and intimately, not only sexually but also on every level. Saturn examines Scorpio’s Pandora’s box of unspoken desires and sober realities forcing us to wake up from the dream we have structured our lives around. 

So prepare yourselves for a journey into the underworld, be open minded and willing to accept your limitations regardless of how uncomfortable you become.  You will be asked to let go of the “dead bodies” of your past, face your most hidden fears and die only to be reborn again.

    I've read this post several times now and it always gives me goosebumps! Excitement for what lies ahead, confronting/facing my fears, and leaving the past behind. It is a great message!

When we modify or adapt to serve a new or different purpose, we transform. When we go beyond, rise above, overshadow or eclipse, we transcend what we were and become something new. When we take transformation of our physical or lower perceptions to their highest expressions, the spiritual or higher state of being determines how this energy is directed. The conversion of these energies causes an alchemical reaction that creates a new way of perceiving and experiencing our reality. The "leaden" lower self (body) connects to and serves the higher "golden" self (soul) -  this is the meaning of alchemy.

Uncertainty

When I choose to consciously sit in the uncertainty of the unknown I am brought into present time and into my physical body. Time slows, breathing is deepened, actions become deliberate and words are chosen with more intention. Vulnerability is on edge here in this place of uncertainty. Sensitivity is acute and tears are on stand by, ready to rise to any occasion. Yet, the beauty of this place is the humility and the grace that are the vessels of transportation ready to carry me to the next moment of life, if I let them. To move forward, I let go and let the unknown be my driver. I think about all the ways I try and control and predict my life. Making myself angry that it sometimes isn't going the way I like or a way that has me feeling so uncomfortable. Carrying this inner rebellion is like driving a car with the emergency brake on. The limitation of the ego mind holds us hostage to what the unknown would like to offer. An offering our thoughts have ...

The Seventh Chakra

Location:   Top of head. Influence: Cerebral cortex, upper skull, skin. Associative Color:      Violet or White or Gold   Central focus:  Connection to spirit, enlightenment, self-realization, fulfillment, faith, individuation, humanitarianism, , selflessness, transcendence, attachment. We work our way up awakening each chakra to arrive at a form of enlightenment in the Crown Chakra. This is not a journey’s end, but a rebirth and beginning that which some describe as “Kundalini Awakening”.  Here in the seventh chakra awareness of our spirit is realized and our connection to a more encompassing spirit outside ourselves. This spiritual connection is not religion. Religion speaks to the tribal mind and is associated with the first chakra. When we awaken to the seventh chakra we are open to cosmic energy that is linked with Divine wisdom and thought. At this level the intellect is abandoned and the experience of a “knowing” is realized as is an establis...
