Orgasmic Astro Cosmic Updates, Saturn in Virgo-latent karma time!

AS YOU SOW, SO SHALL YOU REAP!

Not Instant Karma- LATENT KARMA

Copyright Tara Greene 2007

On September 2, 2007 SATURN ENTERS

A new era begins as Saturn enters Virgo.

Raise a big glass of bubbly now and toast a fond farewell to Saturn in Leo where the Cosmic Cop pulled those dramatic, regal, creative, fiery, willful Leo’s up by their bootstraps for the last 2 years. Leo’s are off the hook now, for 30 years. Saturn will be in Virgo until July 21, 2010.

Every 2 + years Saturn enters another Sign and changes the nature of our reality. The Karmic Planet will be dishing out one heck of a tough Reality check traversing the earth friendly 6th Sign of Virgo, the Maiden of the Harvest @ 9:44 am EDT/6:44 am PDT/13:44 23 GMT to be precisely Virgoan.

Saturn the Time Lord introduces us to latent karma relating to this crazy reality TV show we call life. He’ll be dishing out issues relating to work, service, discipline, the harvest, health, business, ecology, hierarchies, etc with but a brief dip of his leaden toe into Libra Oct. 29, 2009 to April 7, 2010.

Saturn is the harbinger of more earthy tales to come when Pluto, Lord of the Underworld, enters Capricorn in 2008, not to mention Jupiter entering Capricorn Dec 18th this year. Later…

During Saturn in Virgo those with Natal planets and placemats in Virgo, especially the Sun, Moon, Ascendant or Mid-Heaven will reap most of the effects most acutely. Cute is never an adjective associated with Saturn.

Everyone has Virgo somewhere in their Natal chart, if you don’t see the Glyph for Virgo

in your chart wheel, it is “intercepted” which means that Virgo is located between two cusps and is incorporated inside one or two other signs. It’s still there, although it’s effects are harder to get a handle on.

WHO GETS HIT THE MOST!

In order of difficulty. Virgos, the conjunction, Saturn will personally drive over your Sun or other planets, most likely your Mercury and Venus. Sagittarians and Gemini’s will be feeling the Square punch from Saturn. Pisces, the opposition. Aquarians and Aries get the Qunicunx.

Big Benefitters in order of power, Capricorns and Taurus get the Trine. Cancers and Scorpios get to dance the Saturn Sextile.

What happened to Leo’s I can hear you clamouring? You get a cosmic break time, to lick your wounds, and Libras never want to be left out of a relationship but honey Saturn’s just too busy networking with everyone else right now but he’ll get right to you in a coupla years where he’ll be danicng cheek to cheek in his exalted sign.

Virgo is the second-largest constellation in the sky. The Greeks called the constellation Parthenos. She is usually identified as Dike, goddess of justice, who was daughter of Zeus and Themis; but she is also known as Astraeia, daughter of Astraeus (father of the stars) and Eos (goddess of the dawn). Virgo is depicted with wings, reminiscent of an angel, holding an ear of wheat.

While Saturn tours Virgo, the Goddess of the Harvest he will force us all to separate the wheat from the chaff. Saturn is slow, leaden, Time, the Father, Patriarchy, obstacles, difficulties, hard work, discipline, maturity. Saturn binds, limits, it is all of the Physical material world.

Saturn rules all corporations, businesses, career, social standing in the world, hierarchies, seniority, seniors, Senators, ageing. Saturn’s characteristics are austere, serious, weighty. There’s no big laughs when Saturn’s around. He’s dry as a bone. Usually cautious, responsible and respectful of hierarchies, yet emotions and imagination can be deep and penetrating. Saturn never rocks the boat. That’s Uranus’s job. Saturn takes 29 ½ years to complete it’s orbital cycle. This is synchronis with the Moon’s 29.5 day cycle.

SATURN RULERSHIPS- PROFESSIONS AND TYPES

Saturn rules lead, stones that don’t glitter, the dross of all metals and all dust and ashes of everything like garbage and waste disposals, incinerators, crematoriums, etc. It has some rulership over diamonds, being the hardest minerals. Saturn rules miners, jewelers, those that work with metals or minerals, geologists, people that work with the earth-farmers and workers, gardeners, trenches and quarries, grave diggers and people who work in caves and tunnels-subways. Plumbers {lead traditionally} general labouers and contractors, leather workers. People whose jobs occur in cold, dark places {clubs?} or otherwise unpleasant places. Night workers, anyone who works in jobs relating to the dead, bereavment and funeral trade people. People who clear dirt and refuse, sewage, waste disposal. Also any highly responsible manager, prison workers, and the police force, those who keep order. Monks and hermits, scholars and those who live in secluded outposts or isolate themselves from society are all under Saturn’s rule.

Saturnine Places-

Dark, damp, dirty, cold and subject to decay and rot. Desolate, inhabitable places-Siberia, deserts, mountains, woods-the pine in particular is an old symbol for Saturn. Any landscape with caves, wells, holes, obscure valleys-Shangri La?

Saturn governs all structures and buildings and especially archeological ruins, disused buildings, abandoned structures, dens, monasteries, churchyards, burial gounds, cemeteries. It signifies buildings dealing with authority, high offices, government buildings, intimidating structures, remember that the World Trade Center fell with Saturn in Gemini the twin towers, opposite Pluto in Sagittarius, related to religious fundamentalism, terrorists, airplanes and foreigners. Saturn rules toilets, drains, cellars, basements, air raid shelters.

Saturn traditionally rules two signs, as all of the planets do traditionally, one masculine and one feminine. Modern rulership sees Saturn ruling Capricorn and ancient ruler ship has Saturn also ruling Aquarius-a bit of a surprise for you rebellious Aquarians, but it gives you a place to ground..

THE STATE of SATURN ARRIVING IN VIRGO

Saturn has been traveling through the two signs where it is in detriment, weakened and debilitated since June 2003 when it traversed Cancer, the Sign opposite Capricorn, then Leo, Sign opposite Aquarius since July 2005-Sept. 2007. So Saturn must be pretty grumpy by now, having been under the spell of it’s own medicine, kind of a homeopathic cure I’d say, since then, and ready to make home turf in an Earth Sign where Saturn is most comfortable.

Let’s go back in time to when Saturn was last in an Earth sign. This occurred in May 2000 when Saturn was in Taurus where it conjoined Jupiter at the very important beginning of a 20 year long cycle. These 2 planets rule the Economy as a whole, and with a stellium of 7 planets in Taurus on May 3rd a new economic cycle began which busted the Dot.com boom. Investments switched to sensible safe Taurean real estate.

Saturn then entered Gemini and at his opposition to Pluto in late August 2001, the 2 major planets provided the defining moment for the millennium- so far- 911 and the literal symbolism of Saturn in Gemini, sign of the Twins, opposite the Plutonic destruction by airlines, religious terrorists, foreigners – Sagittarius – the symbol of western economic imperialism. The Western world was shattered and polarized. Religious fundamentalism was suddenly the agenda, both that of Islam and that of American NeoCons. Just as predicted in George Orwell’s novel 1984, a strange war against an indefinable enemy began –,the war on terrorism. On a personal level, what Saturn’s journeys since it entered Cancer in 2003, has created, is circumstances that seem beyond personal control have been undermining the situation of the individual in a long and tiring process of dissolution. Being Saturn-ruled, this naturally affects Capricorns and Aquarians most.

Having been debilitated in Cancer Saturn’s infamous weak knees were already quaking as he entered Leo, and his most recent outer planet aspect, that of its’ opposition to Neptune, which we’ve been experiencing for most of 2007 has put old Saturn or Satan under wraps and in a fog of delusion, illusion, addictions, fantasy and drugs. In other words our view of Reality has been twisted and warped, through Saturn’s lens and we are definitely totally befuddled as to the nature of Reality or don’t even bother to ask anymore-just look at the state of American and Canadian and the World’s politics these days.

The Karmic Lesson that we’ve been needing to learn with Saturn in Leo opposite Neptune in Aquarius is that It’s not the worst thing to surrender your ego, but the best, to accept that there are higher forces – karma perhaps – that cannot be avoided. The lesson of Saturn/Neptune is that everything physical in life {Saturn}is transitory {Neptune} and will be dissolved by time. If you only believe in the physical world and it’s apparent riches you are caught in the trap of Satan. The kind of acceptance that arises from connecting to true Spirit and seeing through the temptations and glamour of Saturn in Leo and Neptune in Aquarius is nourishment for the Soul. “Saturn always wins” someone I knew always said. As far as the soul is concerned, the losers wins, and the winner loses. That’s Saturn’s turf. So this is the journey we’ve all just come through.

So, there is only one thing for Saturn to do, get to solid ground, back to hard work and get healthy again. Saturn has just Trined Pluto at 26 degrees Leo/Sagittarius, and is ready to be reborn especially with Pluto conjunct the Galactic Center. As he puts his feet on solid ground again in Virgo Saturn’s gonna do what he does best-make the buck stop here. As you sow so shall you reap is Saturn’s motto. Saturn will have those who have sown in haste on shaky ground without forethought on their knees and that goes for all departments-government, culture, religion, food, health, medicine, etc. Of course Saturn will show us the limits of how we’ve raped the Earth and bring us karmic balance through earth changes.

Virgo The Hermit Major Tarot Trump # 9

Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot

THE SIGN VIRGO is associated with the Major Arcana of the Hermit. The Hermit is the 1st Symbol of Initiation on the Path. The Hermit cultivates and perfects through discipline, analysis, intelligence, work and service. The Hermit goes it alone, retreats within, Introspective, Intuitive, listens to and cultivates her or his won Inner Wisdom. The Hermit needs little, is humble and wise. This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine is the Hermit’s song. The Hermit indicates completion.

We are also synchronistically in a #9 year, 2007 = 2 + 0 + 0 + & = 9. This symchronicity leads me to conclude that we are all collectively beginnning a completion.

THE WORK-

Saturn will help us scrutinize, work, discipline, responsibility, completing the job efficiently, analyzing. As Saturn limits and brings obstacles, work will change, slow down, work will be seen as community service, for the good of all. We will perfect the health system, old structures are due to be reaped in the harvest cycle. The way seniors are viewed and treated will change, honour will come to the elderly. There will be food shortages and earth changes.

Fed us with XS, dumped SUV’s will be turned into practical living shelter’s for the poor. Life will become simpler, back to nature, growing one’s own food, dealing with one’s own community, sharing the work of caring for the elderly, living in communal societies. Working with one’s hands, and hands on knowledge will be prized.

Virgo is the Goddess’s Sign, Her energies will rise, business will shift to a female centered ethic based on human values, family responsibilities, universal mother wages, paid maternity leave for a year for mothers, and paid father support. The Goddess also will show us how GMO, additives, chemicals, plastics, fluoride, chlorine have all been creating cancer rampant throughout our societies now. A move to Green everything is already underfoot and will leave a No Footprint map on everything.

The entire health structure will shift to alternative medicine, ancient healing techniques, acupuncture, herbs, Wise woman ways, shamanism, water, sound, light, etc.

Incompetent, over-inflated leaders will disappear from the scene, hooray. The dross and bling will fizzle. This transition to Virgo is supported by Jupiter’s entry into Capricorn December 18th, where it goes on to make a trine to Saturn at 7 degrees in January 2008… just as Pluto moves into Capricorn. Ths is going to be a wonderfully re-constructive period. Although the repeated Mars opposition to Pluto from January – March 2008 points to a crisis in War, the economy.

THE ‘60’s RELOADED

The major event for Saturn in 2008 is its opposition to Uranus – something that takes place only once every 46 years. The first opposition takes place at 18 degrees Virgo/Pisces synchronisticaly in time of the US election in November 2008. The aspect repeats in February 2009 at 20 degrees and in September at 24 degrees. This planetary cycle another stage in the maturation of the seeds that were planted n the ‘60’s at the Uranus Pluto Conjunction conjunction which spawned hippies, political and cultural revolt, mind expansion and the notably focus on an enormous generation gap.

How will the virtual world of Uranus in Pisces oppose the practical world of Saturn in Virgo? YouTube and all other web access will have a huge groundbreaking affect on attitudes and will revolutionize the actual balance of power. Ultimately the illusions of the old order will succumb to the freedom loving revolutionary anarchy of Uranus and this will create a huge new effect on elections. There is always hope!
