Saturn contd.

Thurs 18 Feb – Wed 3 March

Old father Time or Chronos as Saturn is known (from where the words chronology and chronometer originate) moves so slowly that he remains in Libra for about two years, and thus seldom gets much of a mention. But while he is in Libra, the balancing of love, legalities or politics can become an increasingly complicated yet necessary task. Personal partnerships and contracts can overshadow your private plans, throwing you off balance. Relationships will either become fully engaging, or overwhelming, especially if you have a fear about making a commitment or being more socially involved. Besides that you can expect more concern with laws that govern and regulate society so that it is just and fair. Problems start when people take it on themselves to decide and judge who is more worthy than others to receive support and benefit.

But then that is a background influence, while on a more immediate and current level the Sun joins Venus and Jupiter in watery Pisces this edition, greatly facilitating the ability to become more sensitive to the emotional environment and develop the intuitive faculties. Now is the best time to go within and explore your dreams or visions for your future as well as nostalgically reminiscing about your past. The artist within you may well be inspired to pick up the pen, brush, camera or guitar and capture in picture, poem or song the wondrous workings of the world, the heart or – for those of you whose ears are even more sensitized – the soul. Don’t worry if you missed the boat on Valentine’s day for now is still the time to win the easily melted heart of your potential loved one with the seductive arts of sweet words and sweet chocolates. The boundaries and defenses may be a bit weaker at this time so dust off your violin and don’t be shy to serenade your sweetheart into a serene and sublime state of surrender. And if that’s not your scene then there is always the solitary introspective contemplation of the divine within you, who may have some cosmic revelations to reveal while you sit enraptured by the beauty of the world around us. After all, with three of the most positive planetary influences in Pisces at present, the opportunity is there to be moved from within or without. Just don’t forget to feed the cat.
