EYE ON THE SKY: SATURN COMBUSTION DEC. 16-JAN. 18th
Saturn will be too close to the Sun in starting in mid-December and may dampen some of the Christmas spirit in contrast to the wonderful full moon in Taurus energy that we had for Thanksgiving. It begins Dec. 16th and peaks with the conjunction into Jan 1st and has an impact until Jan 18th.
Saturn combustion can bring out the darker qualities of Saturn. In the early stages, it may promote hard work, efficiency, clarity and reliability at work but as it gets closer to the can make work intense, cause problems between bosses and co-workers, mistreatment by employers and resistance to authority. On an emotional level, it can hurt confidence and bring on depression. In Ayurveda, Sun/Saturn combination if in your natal chart in the 4th, 5th or 10th or 11th houses, may raise blood pressure and if severely afflicted can lead to heart problems so go easier with exercise and avoid stressful conditions that may affect your heart. This might impact Virgos, Leos, Pisces and Aquarians rising or Sun signs more. Go easier if you have heart or high blood pressure problems through the Christmas season and visit your doctor to monitor it if it seems to be acting up.
Sun also rules health for everyone, and I notice the Saturn affliction can hurt the immune system which is also why a lot of flu seems to break out with this combustion combination. Products like Colostrum can enhance your immune system. Get plenty of rest and keep your immune system strong by cutting down on sugar. If you are born with the Sun very close to Saturn in your natal chart within a few degrees, this signature could lead to over-responsibility and taking on too much work and this could stress your heart and circulatory system so lighten up if you are start pushing yourself. If you are running a Sun/Saturn period or a Saturn/Sun period and have a tight signature in your natal chart, this transit may be most difficult.
Saturn cuts off the energy of the Sun and restricts its ability to shine so you may feel lonely and cut-off or inclined to break relationships or quit work because of a conflict with a supervisor. This can lead to depression. The anecdote for Saturn is always Venus so women, relationships, singing, food, music and dance all help lighten Saturn so avoid isolation. 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 it’s below zero.
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. Be disciplined with diet and exercise. The tendency is to use food 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.

What critics are saying: “Barry’ Poetic Tour de Force unveils lays of psychological wisdom that heals the troubled soul.–Jamie Bateman
The book is accessible for people who do not know much about astrology and is meant for a larger audience and only small parts of it are technical .
SUMMARY:
The deepest purpose of astrology should allow us to see the Maya or illusion that runs through our mind and blocks us from seeing our own Divinity. Astrology should reveal our hidden patterns and not just affirm what we know about our self already. It is our hidden patterns and blind spots which get us into the most trouble and cause us the most suffering. It takes courage to look at them, bring them into the light and transforms them but that is why we are on the planet. It is much like Bill Murray in Ground Hog Day (1993). How many times do we have to repeat our lives and relive our pain or do we realize our flaws and actively work on them and transform ourselves into a more conscious and active and loving and compassionate person. In this brilliant collection of essays divided into 7 sections, Psychological and Emotional and Spiritual Dimensions of Vedic Astrology, Secrets of the Houses, Blind Spots. Spiritual Astrology, Relationship and Techniques, Barry reveals material beyond the ordinary in unveiling our True Self beyond the illusion. The great spiritual teacher Yogananda was fond of saying that most of what we call the spiritual battle is really a psychological battle and once that battle is won, the spiritual battle is a short one. This book aims to support you in deep spiritual growth with profound psychological insight.
Barry’s spiritual and psychological approach to astrology seeks to cut the puppet strings of the planets that impact our emotions and psychology and bind us to self-blame, doubt and fear, and anger. This useful guide will help you navigate your life.
