Esoteric Saturn

The horoscope should be read at 2 levels:

1. The growth and unfolding of the Personality

2. The growth and unfolding of the Soul

Capricorn/Saturn represent the densest point of concrete materialization of which the human Soul is capable of experiencing.

Saturn represents “The Dweller on the Threshold” – in facing this Dweller, we face our past and our fears. Capricorn, as a sign, fears losing control, dependency and feeling helpless; this is the loss of trust, trust in the Higher Self.

1. The Saturn Sign is your personal Dweller in this lifetime

2. The House position is Where you will face the Dweller

a. The House is where you are forced to work out your Karma

In a distant past when there were only 10 signs in the Zodiac, Capricorn represented the highest to which a man could aspire.

SATURN IN ARIES: “You be what I tell you to be” indoctrination. Lesson to break free from this limitation of being and find rapid access to the Higher Self in dealing with Crisis.

SATURN IN TAURUS: Responsibility and material acquisitiveness-– WWII and the recent Market Crash. Taurus is ruled by Vulcan, free one’s self from the chains of materialism.

SATURN IN GEMINI: Thoughts are things; clarity of responsibility; feeling trapped by expectations.

Work on the Love Petals in dealing with people.

SATURN IN CANCER: Childhood imbued with the fears, guilts and insecurity of the family. Right and wrong based upon emotions. Sacrifice our personal security for the security and welfare of humanity. Example – overcoming my fears to work in Eastern Europe…now I have overcome a lot of fear.

SATURN IN LEO: Responsibility dictated by respect for others. Lesson in doing something – not because of a fear of punishment, rejection, disrespect or because you seek reward…but simply because it is the right thing to do.

SATURN IN VIRGO: Perfectionism and the Love Petals are incompatible! This is the great flaw, the striving to be perfect. There is no perfection. I am human, therefore, nothing human is alien to me. Turning imperfection into assets.

SATURN IN LIBRA: Do it because of others – sacrificing self in order to work with the whole, seeing the big picture, coordinating, the gestalt.

SATURN IN SCORPIO: If you are not in control, do it all yourself and do it perfectly, something terrible will happen. Lesson in Trust.

SATURN IN SAGITTARIUS: Responsibilities are more abstract – not have you cleaned your room but did you maintain standards of codes and ethics. Whose codes, by whose ethical standards. One who upholds high standards.

SATURN IN CAPRICORN: Achievement on a day to day level. What have you done today. The individual can feel overwhelmed by these day to day demands. Changing structures that support rather than oppress— the 1960s and the 1989-90.

SATURN IN AQUARIUS: The rules are always right/wrong, black/white, not grey areas. Rebellion against authority should manifest as bringing in the needed reforms that benefit humanity. Don’t just tear down— build something constructive.

SATURN IN PISCES: These people can shoulder responsibilities, putting the weight of the world on their shoulders. This can lead to illness or a lot of whining and complaining. Define boundaries for others, define your own boundaries and shoulder responsibilities for something that you believe in strongly.

METAPHYSICAL INFLUENCE OF URANUS

1. Stimulates change by stimulating the electrical currents through the nadis in the etheric body.

2. Uranus represents the Rebellion of the Generation or Soul Group.

ESOTERIC RULER OF LIBRA— As the decanate of Libra is the bridging decanate into the Aquarian Age, Libra’s Soul’s Purpose is to bridge the activities of humanity, as shown by the House Position of Uranus, and to assist humanity work as an integrated whole (Virgo rules wholeness and integration in terms of putting all of one’s fragmented parts together).

Charm and manipulating to get one’s way is transmuted into strategy, diplomacy and persuasiveness in bringing harmony to the Whole.

Example of Esoteric Uranus in Houses:

4th and 10th House – These Houses are frequently political (4th is grass roots politics).

7th House – Helping others their personalities – the lower self with the higher self. A frequent position for people who are counselors and therapists.

9th House – Bridging philosophies, religions and cultures so that we see humanity as a cultural whole. Dr. Carol Swain works in congress to move politicians away from the concept of the caucus and towards a National Identity – where we can retain our differences but see ourselves Wholistically.

AQUARIUS— The independent, freedom-loving Aquarian on The Path realizes that no man is an island and that no one person is truly free until ALL are free! Aquarius seeks its Soul’s Purpose through becoming a cooperative unit in a group or collective. The 2nd Ray Esoteric Ruler of this sign, Jupiter, believes in brotherhood, the equality of all men, freedom and justice for all without concern for race, creed, culture, status or background.

This is the sign of the New Group of World Servers and Aquarius fulfills its Soul’s Purpose through brotherhood groups, supporting unity and inclusiveness, which serve humanity as indicated by the House position of Jupiter.
URANUS IN THE SIGNS

Because of its annual retrograde movement when the Earth is passing it, Uranus goes back and forth from one sign to another every seven years. Thus the following periods include portions of time when Uranus was in an adjoining sign.

Uranus through the Signs: Uranus rules the rebellion of a generation, what it wants to change dramatically in the world. For example, when Uranus was in visionary sign of Sagittarius we had Hands Across America and the Crystal Movement.
Aries

Uranus was in Aries from April 1927 until March 1935— The end of the Roaring Twenties, the stock market crash, and the beginning of the Depression brought many such changes.

While being born during the Depression, this Soul Group were the Pioneers… the first New Agers but ahead of their time. They can thrive upon Crisis. The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Aries brought a thrust of innovation in aviation— Lindburgh, transAtlantic flight, Pole Flight, first rocket engine flight.

Uranus in Aries – 2010 – 2018— This transit occurred from 1928 through 1934, those born during the Great Depression. The current cycle will begin with a powerful Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in Aries and a breakthrough in flight technology. What I know about those who were born during the last Aries cycle is that they were the great pioneers. The pioneering spirit generated at this time will transform the planet and those born at this time will spirit new changes, taking unprecedented risks. Flight was changing our world during the last cycle. By 2020, this cycle will led to an economic Boom Cycle on the planet indicated by the Saturn-Pluto conjunction.

NOTE: The Search for God Study Groups and the AA 12 Step programs began with Uranus in Aries.
Taurus

Uranus was in Taurus from June 1934 until May 1942 – This was the era of the New Deal and the beginning of the second world war, producing a fairly conservative and materialistic generation.
Gemini

Uranus was in Gemini from August 1941 until June 1949 – This was the first generation to go to college in mass. They initiated advances in psychology, sociology, and metaphysics. The generation born during the war and just after became the student radicals of the 1960s. (Special note: Uranus was in the same degree of Gemini when the Declaration of Independence was written and signed, Lincoln was elected and the Civil War began, and D-Day was planned and carried out as the sun is in when the United States used to celebrate Memorial Day.)

Uranus in Gemini brings a War for Democracy, since its discovery in the 1700s.
Cancer

Uranus was in Cancer from September 1948 until June 1956 – This was the time when television invaded the home, producing the first TV generation. This generation make a break with traditions – first group to openly cohabit making it OK for the older generations. Antibiotic generation that developed problems with these – prefer natural techniques.
Leo

Uranus was in Leo from August 1955 until August 1962 – The motion picture industry was radically altered because of competition with television. Rebellion against authority. With Transpluto, they initiate reforms in society. Environmental issues.
Virgo

Uranus was in Virgo from November 1961 until September 1968 and a month in the late spring of 1969 – Uranus was with Pluto at this stimulating social change. Together they bring revolutions. Uranus and Pluto will square each other from 2012 through 2014 – rebellion in society and fiscal crises.
Libra

Uranus was in Libra from October 1968 until September 1975 – Changes in social justice, diplomacy, music, and the arts. Divorce rates skyrocketed, and alternative partnerships and lifestyles developed under the influence of electric guitars and those who preferred to make love rather than war.
Scorpio

Uranus was in Scorpio from September 1975 until November 1981 – 1975 was a turning point year in which the alternatives of the 1960s became mainstream. A great interest in occultism, New Age phenomena and changes in sexual awareness, spying by electronic means, computer development and sudden changes and extremes in investment situations.
Sagittarius

Uranus was in Sagittarius from November 1981 through November 1988 – Changes in religion, philosophy, and world affairs, including a heightened arms race followed by the sudden demise of Soviet Communism.
Capricorn

Uranus was in Capricorn from February 1988 until January 1996 — This is a period of cold and calculated down-sizing and radical privatization of economies. It is the generation of the Indigo Children with pronounced psychic gifts. Conjunctions with Saturn and Neptune caused a speeding up of the earth’s electro-magnetic field— vision color shift phenomena. When Uranus entered Capricorn, the popular interest in crystals ended.
Aquarius

Uranus was in Aquarius from February 1912 until January 1920 and for two months in the spring of 1995 and from January 1996 for seven years— Revolutionary changes, independent and radical social movements and organizations. Revolutions in Mexico, China, and Russia as well as the downfall of powerful monarchies in the Great War took place.

When Saturn entered Leo opposing Uranus in Aquarius, it ended the monarchies of Europe. Saturn bring disillusion with authority (occurring in 2005-07).

The internet and Google became popular but, when Neptune entered Aquarius, even little old ladies use the internet.

Life speeds up – coinciding with internet and cell phone usage. Everyone wanted everything in a hurry. Strong connectedness and ability to access info in a hurry.

The New Age became common place. I went into a store, J. Jill, and the girl working there talked about the store having Good Feng Shui. This stuff is every where as well as aroma therapy.
Pisces

Uranus was in Pisces from April 1919 through March 1927 – Radical changes in beliefs, religion, and morals. This was the period of the Great Experiment of prohibiting alcohol and the split between the moralistic and the wild Roaring Twenties.

This Group becomes the Greatest Generation of its decade – this is the dominate generation that fights the great battles for democracy. Not an Illiberal Democracy (run my tyrants) but Constitutional Liberalism, freedom for the people and run by the people.

Uranus in Pisces – 2004 – 2010 – My first observation of Uranus in a Water sign is the massive and destructive hurricanes that we have experienced this year. With this transit so many of us are either making changes or reacting to the changes made by others. Uranus in Pisces will continue with the problems of water and global warming.

Uranus in Pisces can be very disruptive, forcing us as individuals to go with the flow, with our intuition and our inner guidance in risk taking or in dealing with disruptions in our lives. When experiencing the higher aspect of Uranus in Pisces, we can flow naturally with a sense of knowing, a knowing that is connected to something greater than ourselves.

Emotional problems will be more pronounced with this transit— the rebellion of Uranus is to force us to go with our feelings.

We rebel under Pisces in order to find something to believe in.

There may be a connection (Pisces and the 12th House) with the re-organization of our intelligence agencies and secret organizations.

Any planet in Pisces is connected with humanitarian causes— refugees and evacuees.
