Willows Web » Saturn in Libra Gratitude
July 29th, 2010 @ 6:31 pm by Willows Web
The crystal-clear, mountain-fed Bow River - my favourite thing about Calgary, Alberta.
Mars is in the last degree of Virgo today, ingressing Libra at 5:46 p.m. (MT) and conjuncting Saturn early Saturday morning.
I started this blog when Saturn was in early Virgo, and it hit me last night what Saturn moving into Libra meant. My nose lifted from the grindstone, and I realized that things are not as they were. The dynamics have changed. The energy has shifted.
The slogging-it-out, seeing-where-it-goes developmental stage of Saturn in Virgo has been completed. We’ve put the final last touch on in many areas of our lives. And while it is a relief to have this foundational work done, it’s also a little sad. Things change now.
The final Saturn-Uranus opposition is closing a big chapter and opening a new one - just a crack. Once Jupiter and Uranus transit back into Aries in early 2011, we’ve really got ourselves a grand, watershed moment - complete with waterworks as we say goodbye to an entire 2,000+ astrological era in highly sensitive and emotional water sign and last sign of the zodiac Pisces.
Saturn reminds us of the passing of time and with that the change of phases, times, eras, seasons in our lives and in the lives of the people around us. It really is only the blink of an eye, isn’t it? Keeping pace and staying emotionally connected throughout it all is one of the greatest and most rewarding challenges.
In light of this, I want to thank all you guys for hanging in with me on this blog over the past two-and-a-half years.
It’s been a wild and difficult yet oddly wonderful and enriching ride so far to write this blog and to practise astrology in this way.
I’m not sure what the experience of reading this blog has been like. I have many jagged edges and I’m right pissed with the state of this planet and the people on it a lot of the time…
But when I’m battling, just know that I’m battling for us. I’m battling for the changes we need to see. My heart is always in the right place, even when I get close to crossing a line or shoot my typing fingers off in some semi-outlandish fashion. Especially then, actually. I’m digging in some deep and hidden Scorpionic muck that very much needs to be dug in, even though it sometimes gets ugly and a little more feisty than I would like. (Libra Sun, after all.)
I’m grateful for you readers, for your interest and for the lovely, appreciative comments and e-mails you send.
I’m grateful for those who have ordered readings or who have tipped me via PayPal (KK, you’ve been so exceedingly generous in this way. Thank-you.)
But mostly I’m grateful for and want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your presence in my life. Knowing you guys are out there and continue to be makes all the difference. Even if I have not seen your faces, I know you in my mind’s eye.
One lovely lady in particular (Ms. P) has been with this blog since almost the beginning through some rough-ass energy bumps, and I want to thank her for her sustained energy and encouragement.
Finding people who can ride out the hardcore storms with you is so important and so wonderful, I can’t even really express it. And not only ride out the storms but understand and contribute and make the load a little lighter because they know those storms. They’re going through them, too, right alongside.
So we’ve built something here. The foundation is set. And I’m interested in how Saturn in Libra will add to the proceedings…
I’m about to leave a city I’ve lived in for the past six years. It’s my mother’s home city, and I was here, in part, to work with some family dynamics, to try to untie some longstanding knots. I had some successes and some failures. Family dynamics are mighty tricky.
And now, as I’m preparing to move two provinces away, my sweet Grandmother is preparing to leave this world for the spirit world beyond. To shed the heaviness of her human body in its aged state of blindness, deafness and various other indignities and discomforts for the lighter realms. I’m wishing her a peaceful and loving passage. She and I have shared some similar dynamics in life - most recently co-pharmaceuticals poisoning this past December. So the timing, as usual, is not coincidental.
I’ve moved many times in the past, but I’m finding it tough to go this time. This city has broken my heart, but it has also provided an energetic safe haven for me to develop. There’s a buoyance and a lightness in the energy here, and it has been a much easier place for me to live in a lot of respects than previous locations. But as frightening as it is to leave this safe haven place, I know it’s time to go. The chrysallis has been cracked, and there’s no going back.
I’ll be in a new city by early September, and there will be a new locational flavour added to the blog.
I hope the best is yet to come for all of us.
