Saturn and Fear of the Future

EYE ON THE SKY: SATURN AND FEAR OF THE FUTURE.

Saturn is weak in the D9/Navamsha  chart debilitated in the Aries Pada until May 11th so its darker energies of fear and depression and laziness can come out.   When Saturn is weak it’s tendency to worry about the future comes out more.

The mind cannot have emotion on an abstract level so it attaches to something in the environment. Most of what we fear is a mental illusion. Eckhart Tolle reminds us that 99% of our thoughts are garbage so why buy into them? My mantra for Saturn is just to recognize the mental noise in your mind and then say, “Saturn you can go now.” I do not need the fear. We do have the power to not just accept the garbage that goes through our heads and our destiny is to command the planets if we are conscious and spiritual people.

Most of the things we fear never happen and it’s that 1% surprise element that knocks us out of the park. Fear is a survival mechanism to keep us out of danger. If we stick our hand into the fire when we are small, we learn not to do it again but then maybe we are inordinately afraid of fire our entire life. Just remember that most of what we fear does not happen and dismiss it.

Saturn governs the base chakra and often spiritual folks work more on their upper chakras through meditation but if their root chakra is not developed and Saturn is weak in their chart, their financial planning and infrastructure and connection to the earth is a bit out of balance. This can create a lot of instability and fear. It’s like a pyramid. If the base of the pyramid is strongly supported, the energies can move higher to the peak. If we have a solid bank account and savings plans then we have the freedom to pursue our spiritual development and not be thrown off balance. If the pyramid is inverted and there is low energy at the base and all the energy is very strong at the top, then there is no stability to support all the spiritual growth. The current transits are challenging our systems.

The Aquarius/Leo  axis requires  balancing our individual ego and needs for personal development with our concern about humanity and with larger groups.  It requires doing more service work in social groups to support humanitarian efforts.  There are so many newly troubled groups from Gaza to Haiti to Sudan to Northern Africa that volunteering or donating to charities is a way to appease these Saturn energies.

Do more meditation and yoga and breathwork to transform the energy. The chair pose in yoga grounds us to the earth chakra as does the Mountain pose so that we feel our feet grasping the earth, which creates more security in our lives. Use the fear as a wake-up call to handle your finances, get into your body and take care of your health.  Look up the magician’s “fear sleeve” and expose him for the fraud that he is. You are infinitely safe in this universe.

 

 

Afflicted Saturn in Aries or the Aries Pada in D9  requires us to go more slowly; to not rush around like a rabbit, and not do too much; otherwise, our anxiety level increases and we are more likely to get sick from hypertension or anxiety-related illness. Drink more hot water and calming herbal teas, slow down, do slower exercise, get oil massages and eat more hot meals and you can keep this aspect at bay. If you are running a Saturn period or are ruled by Capricorn or Aquarius o rising, you may feel the impact more over the coming months and into Jan. 2025. It can get handled. The planets are your friends if you heed their advice and do your work.

On a personal level, use the transits to transform your deep unconscious fears, which is what is coming up to heal. What are you afraid of? What are you avoiding dealing with? What can you do to get in unstuck?

Again, charts are very individual and we do not ever want to stereotype people by sign but sometimes it’s a way of putting one’s finger right away on a core problem for the person’s entire life.
