Saturn Moon conjunction
23rd May 01
This is a potent conjunction
and will effect every one in various degrees.
Saturn changes signs on the
21st April into Gemini and this is where it
begins. The 23rd May 01 is the first conjunction
followed by Jupiter/moon conjunction on the 24th
May.
The Saturn conjunction brings
in a new order, although this is the date, we
have been making our way towards this period for
some time now.
As a reference point if you go
back to the major solar eclipse that occurred in
August 1999, this period takes you back to where
situations were really quite difficult and life
demanded that we take stock of our lives and
focus on equality within. That was to make all
aspects of life harmonious, creating time for
reverence, a philosophy that has a spiritual
dimension as well as the mundane. So creating 4
equal parts: mundane, spirituality, emotional and
direction (fire, earth, air, water) This was the
tug of war that a lot of us got to at that point.
I feel that God/dess was needing some sort of
acknowledgement, as well as the realisation that
this energy is within each us, so we become more
aware of the higher forces that direct us.
The eclipse that occurred in
Capricorn at Christmas was a Saturn influence,
this period gave us the chance to get our lives
in order on a mundane level and prepare us for
the superior conjunction of Saturn and moon this
May '01.
Saturn is a teacher and he's
bringing in a new order where every one needs to
adapt to our fast changing world. Saturn is also
karmic, in that you cannot move forward unless
you have managed to get events and life's
circumstances on an even keel. It may also be
easy it all depends on how well each of us is
managing life.
The Saturn conjunction is
about beginnings and endings, so some things may
be left behind but only those that no longer
holds purpose. We do not need to carry
unnecessary baggage.
This conjunction occurs in the
air sign of Gemini, being the sign of the fast
thinker, the trickster, the light as well as the
dark, the duality that is part of Gemini. This
influence will enable us to assimilate all
information that usually stays up in the air,
with this energy we will be more able to harness
and channel these thought forms much more
skilfully.
For many this may include
authoritarian figures, maybe exams or contracts,
legalities, work separations. It may also be a
little lonely, as really every one needs to lean
only on them selves, and this can be a bit scary,
and this is one of the reasons that it may seem
difficult.
On a more positive level this
whole year may well be about stabilising your
self in a completely new environment. Or making
some thing of your self that is full of
surprises. Believe in yourself! Follow your
heart, if feels good then you are probably going
in the right direction.
There are quite a few major
conjunctions this year they begin in May with
this one and is followed closely by a Jupiter/
Moon conjunction that has an expanding effect,
after reading this article go to
the Jupiter conjunction.
