EYE ON THE SKY: TOO MUCH SATURN
There are too many connections to Saturn in the sky now and that creates stress, fatigue, anxiety and depression. Mars is in Saturn’s nakshatra of Anuradha (Scorpio 3.20-16.40) until Feb. 6th. The Sun in is Capricorn ruled by Saturn and then will be in Aquarius another Saturn sign until March 14th. Venus is in Capricorn, a sign ruled by Saturn and then will move into Aquarius Feb 6th and then does not get into Pisces and free of Saturn’s influence until March 2nd. Mercury has been conjunct Saturn this month in Sagittarius and then moves into Saturn’s signs of Capricorn and Aquarius and is not free from Saturn until March 3rd. Now this can be a bit typical for winter but there seems more of it than usual and Saturn is Mula’s nakshatra (Sagittarius 0-13.20) and dredging up past regrets to rework. Sun/Saturn connections can be a bit depressing and are not great for health. So now you know why you are struggling. Seems like early March before winter blues will be over but we cannot be a victim that long!
What to do? Find ways to combat depression by doing more exercise, meditation, positive self-talk, yoga. The tree pose in yoga will help bring in more solar energy into the crown chakra and even a simple touching the toes exercise will stimulate the solar plexus which may be a bit imploded by this transit so it digestion may be sluggish and stomach fire or weak agni Avoid staying alone and get out with people which stimulates the Libra energy and that will help any isolation and depression. There are herbal formulas for depression like St Johns Wart and numerous Bach Flower remedies and these may be needed but just getting out and being with people can help most. Seek help from a professional if it gets severe. Have to get out and exercise and move, take a motorcycle ride in the wind to stimulate the air element.
Here are some reminders. So much suffering can be short-circuited if we are disciplined:
1) This is a time to be disciplined about your meditation practice and yoga and other spiritual practices because these lighten the burden and give us more strength to deal with everything. The tendency is to skip that which is good for us when we are challenged but that’s like taking off a winter coat when its below zero.
2) Donate time and money to help those in need. This is one way to address karma and by getting out of our own stuff, we feel better and move through our own karma.
3) Be disciplined with diet and exercise. The tendency is to use food or Netflix binging to cover up difficult emotions or skip exercise because we feel tired or lazy. So much illness (6th house) can be overcome if we are disciplined doing what is good for us. Avoid addictive behaviors and non-life-supporting actions especially now. The tendency is to what to escape but usually this leads to more difficult problems quickly.
4) Spend time with spiritual knowledge, attend spiritual gatherings and hang around with positive people at this time. Avoid violent TV and film and ranting TV moderators.
5) Do transformational healing work to move through these energies and uncover why these patterns are up and how you can heal them.
6) Know this will all pass and that the planets are puppeteers pulling their strings and if we understand what is happening, we do not have to buy into it and beat ourselves up.

What Barry’s colleagues are saying:
“This almanac is truly a masterpiece and labor of love. Barry is a gifted astrologer and writer. I have written yearly forecasts for over 30 years and understand the work, knowledge and dedication involved. It is so complete with everything a beginner or advanced student of astrology would need. The references to the planet’s transit through the signs, nakshatras, aspects, dates and times, plus their interpretations is fantastic. He even covers the effects these will have on individual countries. I am sure I will be referring to this manual frequently throughout the year.”
Joni Patry, author and Vedic Astrologer
“Barry Rosen’s brilliant text is a practical guide for any practicing astrologer. His book provides extensive research on the world of Jyotish as well as a detailed analysis of the planetary transits of 2018. My prediction is that it will become a classic cornerstone for any Vedic Astrology library.”
Dennis M. Harness, Ph.D. – President Emeritus, American College of Vedic Astrology.
“Barry Rosen’s reference work is comprehensible for those with minor astrological backgrounds, and is also useful for professionals as a yearly transit and progression guide. As a Neo-Vedic astrologer, Barry also uses the outer planets to help track world events both in finance and on the political and economic scene. Definitely a book to have on your shelf.”
