Saturn Goes Direct in Aquarius

Today, Saturn, the Lord of Karma and ruler over structures, authority, roles and responsibilities goes goes direct in Aquarius after 5 months of being retrograde. This major, heavy-hitting planet embodies the military Grandfather energy; strict, hardworking, tough love, all about working hard and taking your time to perfect your craft, the authority figure, and delegator of life lessons.

While Saturn was retrograde we had to do the work within to recognize where old systems of beliefs, old patterns of behaviours, and old relationships and ideas were no longer strong enough to house the new dreams, visions, and goals, we now have. Retrograde season is a time to reflect, revisit, revise, and review our lives to cut out anything that is not helping us build towards our best selves.

Now that Saturn is going direct, we’'ll be able to take the energy and move it outward in our external lives making changes and taking actions that will destroy the old, free us from the past, and set us up to build some long term foundations we can actually build off of.

If you are hiding being an illusion of your life, an unauthentic mask of who you are, and holding onto old outdated beliefs and structures that aren't serving you, Saturn would have shown you what needs to be removed. There's a karmic element at play here where the old, present, and future parts of ourselves will be blended together, integrated for our highest good so that we may come out of this retrograde fast tracked onto our path forward with the karmic energy of the past having been cleared away, while we fully embrace the newly transformed self.

This particular shift out of retrograde is a game changer. We will see it play out on a global scale through the banking systems, government bodies, and religious communities as they fall, crumbling into a heap of old energy that isn't strong enough to weather our modern day storms. There is already evidence of this taking place on a global platform, and Saturn has a hand in it. We will see the rules and restrictions change once again challenging the current narrative and freeing us in a lot of the ways we’ve been feeling trapped.

This direct shift of energy is also very potent because Saturn is joining Pluto who just stepped out of retrograde as well, bringing all of the power and control issues to light. Pluto is triggering the darkest parts of ourselves, the not-so-good emotions surrounding obsession, guilt, fear, doubts, insecurities, and anger, so that we can use these darker emotions to transform them into light and take our power and control back from whatever source we’ve given it away to.

Together, and with the assistance of Jupiter and Mercury about to come out of their retrogrades - Saturn and Pluto will do a bit of re-organization and refinement. The focus of this disruption, all in divine order, is to focus on the roles and responsibilities we have in life, and to breakdown the restrictions we've been living under in order to truly live more freely in the new world we are creating.

Our foundations, global systems, and structures are outdated, and because we - as a collective - are no longer satisfied with the happenings in the world on the global platform, an uprising of humanity will assist in helping those structures crumble as we are ready to build new.

We are in the year of adjustments; building and refining the changes we’ve already made leaving the past behind and bringing new cycles to life. We can clearly see that the cornerstones of the existing foundation need to be restrengthened, re-supported, re-poured in order to be structurally sound.

This is Saturn, the structural engineer coming in to overlook the project, and we've received a failing grade in the past. Construction was halted to a stop and bulldozed the structure and its footings, only for us to start over and build it right from the beginning. And there's Pluto, the General Foreman of the job, irate and furious that the job is costing him money, he's insulted that his position of authority has been overruled by the engineer. This is HIS job, and HIS word goes. Jupiter going direct next week will amplify and intensify all the growth and expansion that needs to take place in order to get the project back on track. While Mercury’s retrograde has us revisiting old ideas and choices that may flip the script of our overall big picture vision.

Saturn is obsessed, trying to hold onto any inch of the job he can save, not realizing that his need to control the situation when it's in the best interest of the future population that will house this structure, preventing what will be a huge, tragic disaster, where the structure could fall, endangering people's lives, is holding up the path of moving forward. He needs to stop, put himself in time out, and realize that he is wasting precious time and energy trying to protect and save something that is beyond repair. His only option now is to harness the power of his anger and disappointment and focus on rebuilding this project properly from the ground up.

With this shift in perspective, after surrendering to the situation that cannot be changed, he pools together his resources and gets the project on track and built the way it should have been built in the first place.

Surprisingly, the project gets completed much sooner than he had anticipated because the group of workers (humanity) all got on the same page, believed in the same goal, and together, their energy accelerated them down their projected timeline leading them into the successful completion of the project. This is a perfect example of Saturn & Pluto being direct and working together, and what we can expect over the next few months will be mind blowing once we get to look back on all the progress.

The key here, is to recognize the fight you are fighting, see the reasons of why you are trying so hard to hold onto the outdated structures in your life KNOWING that they aren’t solid or strong enough to house the new dreams you are looking to build, and refocus your power and energy to embrace the change and start building new.

This cosmic alignment has been divinely orchestrated in your favour. As the world takes steps to get back to life and create new norms, we are also going through a huge DNA upgrade as we integrate what we’ve learned into our total being. Ask yourself: Do I want to go back to what normal was? Was normal working? Where do I feel angry and frustrated? What new foundations can I build for myself? What ideas am I’m refusing to let go of? And where to I need to take my power back and stand up for myself?
