Saturn in Libra (Exalted) in the 5th House
gives us the stength and endurance to
create. But one must create with love or
what value can it have to us and others.
The lesson here is to feel the joy. Arrogance.
and a drive for power will kill the joy.
Neptune in the 5th gives opportunity to grow
our soul thru creative sacrifice. But can demand
alot and give too little when negative and self-
indulgent. Saturn on the other hand
wants control. and balance--at any cost.
Coming off of Saturn is a grand trine in
the air signs. Saturn trines the Asc and
Uranus, putting our genius potential to
work; It is also trine our moon in Aquarius.
The moon rules personality, and the Moon
in Aquarius is aloof and has a lofty idea
of reality. Not concerned with trivialities.
It thinks big. But has deep feelings that
are concerned about the rights of everyone
In trine aspect to Saturn, it gives a great
sense of duty and loyalty. It gives practicality
and responsibility.
The moon is also trine the Asc and Uranus.
It makes us inventive, inspirational and creative.
We are original in our ideas and concepts.
For this we are admired and emulated by the
whole world.
Something that concerns me is the square from
Saturn to the Part of Fortune in the 8th House.
There is the need for liberation from the box
way of thinking. Our destiny and survival depend
on it.
The other aspect I'm concerned about understanding
is that retrograde Mercury in Cancer. It is in
opposition to Pluto in the 9th House (higher educ-
ation and long journeys). Mental and emotional
anxiety rule here. We need to learn moderation
and compromise. When challenged we become
arrogant and self-righteous, and find it hard
to appreciate where others are coming from.
We demand results, which may be unfair.
We are sure we can see around the corner,
but really Mercury is just speculating out
of insecurity, fear and unknowing. Pluto
is there for a reason, and one way or another
will force us to face ourselves, and recreate
the world for everyone to live nicely in.
Saturn is square our Cancer Sun. It is the
sign of headstrong willfullness and
selfishness. I know, it's in my own Natal
chart. That which does not bend, breaks.
There are so many wonderful aspects still
to discuss. I've only touched on the most
troublesome here.
Neptune in the 5th house squared to Mars in
the 1st: Abuse of technology. There's a
tendency there to be deluded and be rash
at the same time. The world senses our
emotional and mental condition and wants
to take a step back, so as to get out of our
way. They love us and hate us. They love
us because we are brilliant, free and
self-confident. They hate us because we
are out of touch with their reality. They
hate us because we have been greedy and
unfair. They love us because we are
generous and mean well. They hate us
because, in the end, we intend to win at
any cost. This shows our immaturity
(reflected by our planetary setup nationally).
It is hard for us to check ourselves out when
we are so choked up emotionally. We are a
nation of primadonas. If we have time, we
can learn. Ah...but do we have time?
