The eye of the needle: Saturn, Venus and the North Node in Scorpio

and the reflections as seen and felt 'down here'...

As Saturn meets the North Node in soul-purging & passionately powerful Scorpio, it's like we're all moving through the eye of the needle as all that is excess baggage is pulled to the surface ready for its release, healing, acknowledgement, processing, refining and ultimate releasing. Time shifts (Pluto in Capricorn) slowing and speeding in various places of our perceived 'linear' time frame, giving us an opportunity to see the power inherent in decisions taken or decisions avoided and the destructive power of our desires/shadows and their creative power once harnessed. (Saturn in Scorpio). The Pisces Full Moon pulls up more of whatever is there - from the subconscious, unconscious, imagination and stored painful soul-memories (Neptune, Chiron in Pisces) but just know that whatever is unfolding, is just the physical breakdown of structures that no longer work to support the individual or the collective. Part of our current emotional states and life experiences relate to various degrees of dismantling old ways of being/behaving/feeling so that we can recreate our lives on a daily basis to represent ones of more contentment, balance, peace and harmony, and of course Love. Pluto in Capricorn Direct now reveals the areas where we still are powerfully able to participate in the crumbling of outdated methods, rules, structures and blockages...

Venus Shifts - Part II

Venus (the planet governing all things related to Love, Beauty, Relationship, Finance, Values, Aesthetics, Enjoyment, Appreciation) continues her second important alignment...

Part II - Venus Squares Saturn: May 18 (1:18am Pacific)

Venus/Saturn times are those 'wake up and get back to business' phases, we don't like, but which actually help us go a long way towards furthering something long-term that's built to last, strong, stable and reliable. And in shaky times, this is a blessing - but it does come with commitment, discipline and "work" (yuk, I know...)

Saturn throws a challenge and a test to any planet it's wrapped up with, so the karmic knots we have to untie relate to 'Venus Stuff' (see below). By refusing to bow down to the pressure, by keeping our chins up and by remembering that Saturn Offers a Reward if we Put the Work In, then this period can only strengthen ties, solidify bonds, and give us something we really need - much needed help and support just when we need it most (and our ability to offer help to those who need it to).

Since the square aspect can be a challenge/test or sense of friction, we could experience this time as feeling all fun and enjoyment is being tossed aside for hard work, serious, sobering times or we are faced with blocks to love - we have to try and maintain open hearts in the face of bleak, cold fronts and cold shoulders.

We'll get to ask in the weeks ahead if were willing to invest (Saturn) in our true values (Venus) and commit (Saturn) to Love (Venus) - in all its forms. Love of the inner (self) and love of the outer (other/the world).

Can you play your part and fulfill your duty (Saturn) to bringing more harmony/peace/equality to your life?

Financial: Quality not quantity. Scrimping and saving. Being frugal and sensible. Red Lights that say No or Have Patience. Financial errors that need dealing with. Lack of enjoyment with what is purchased. Money doesn't buy happiness.

Relationship: Low self esteem reflected in relationship stress. Duty over Affection. Parental patterns challenging spontaneous joy. Time to commit? Working at Love. Showing your serious side. Work versus play/pleasure. Scheduling more time to appreciate.Love's Lessons. Learning unconditional love.

VENUS = LOVE

SATURN = FEAR

JUST KEEP CHOOSING LOVE!
