Saturn-Day

 


I am sure that many of my readers will know that the names of the days of the week, in many languages, have been derived from the names of the gods from Hellenistic astronomy. 


Monday, for example, was named after the moon - Moon Day. Tuesday is named after Mars, Wednesday after Mercury, Thursday after Jupiter, Friday after Venus, Saturday after Saturn, and Sunday after the Sun. Of course, different cultures may name their days as how they saw them numbered. Who considers Sunday the first day of the week? Many do, though there are those languages which consider Sunday as being the 7th day (refer back to the Creation Story when God rested on the 7th day). 

I mention this because today, Saturn-day, Saturn and the Sun are conjunct at 16 degrees of Aquarius. Saturn rules Aquarius traditionally, and as the Sun is opposite the sign that it rules (the Sun rules Leo), it is Saturn that is in a very powerful position today. The last time that Saturn and the Sun were in conjunction (occupying the same portion of sky to the viewer from Earth- though of course, not the same space) was on the 30th January 1992. This is because Saturn takes around 30 years to orbit the Sun. So think back at what you were doing around the end of January in 1992 and compare it to what you are doing today: Have you realised that you need to complete a project, or started a new one? 

Saturn in Aquarius is all about ideas, new or innovative ideas in particular. Aquarius is also a fixed sign, so ideas here can also become dogmatic with time and need to be thrown out for new ones to move in. Yes, there is a sense of revolution associated with this idea, which is why the eccentric and free thinking Uranus was assigned to Aquarius, though most astrologers will agree that it does not 'rule' Aquarius in that sense. 


Have a look at your birth chart and see if you have any planets in Aquarius: Saturn has moved into your area and is challenging you to look inwards and  "recognise aspects of ourselves that we need to mature" (taken from https://medium.com/mystic-minds/saturn-in-aquarius-2020-2023-and-pluto-in-aquarius-from-2023-6ef3dd77330a) 

I just thought it was interesting that Saturn meets the Sun on a Saturnday and wanted to share this.

The March Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon....and more

Image
  Tomorrow's Full Moon is a lunar eclipse, heralding the eclipse season for 2024. It occurs at 08:00 and will not be visible from our part of the world.  One thing to note is that due to precession, the zodiac and the constellations are out of synch by about 30 degrees, so whilst we say that the Moon is in the sign of Libra, the Moon will appear in the sky with Virgo as its backdrop. For the scope of this chart reading, I will be referring to the Moon as being in the sign of Libra.  So how does this eclipse affect us mortals? By looking the chart, we assess which planet is making an aspect to another. Because the chart changes according to time and place (for example, in London, this eclipse occurs at 07:00, and therefore the Ascendant and Midheaven changes). The chart for this Full Moon is quite interesting. The most notable aspects are the Sun/Pluto sextile, the Venus/Jupiter sextile and the Moon/Pluto trine.  These are all harmonious aspects. Remember that this is a lunar eclips

New Moon in Leo.... and more (read on).

  Are you feeling the heat? Astrologically, a new moon is all about implementing new plans, bringing others to a close and setting new intentions. Although this is stated in each of the blog posts, they are not the same for each new moon in a year. A new moon in Cancer is not the same as a new moon in Pisces, though theoretically they are both water signs. What you may find is that if you keep a personal journal, during the Leo New Moons period the same issues generally tend to crop up. Of course, the planets are in different positions at any given new moon, when a seed is sown. Ask your gardener whether they would sow any seeds after the full moon...  This month's new moon  is in the fiery sign of Leo and occurs at around 13:30 on the 4th August. As such, a new moon in Leo focuses on the issue of creativity, as Leo is a sign associated with the heart and putting our ideas/creations out there into manifestation, and also being recognised for our works of art, be they ideas, or chil

Solar Eclipse and its links to 1501....

  And here it is... the chart for the New Moon in Aries, also a total solar eclipse. I've been reading a lot of different takes on this eclipse. Let me explain why there are different views on it.  Fact number one: different astrologers will have different takes on it depending on what they see in the chart. That is why astrology is not only a science, but also an art. This is why I suggest reading a variety of interpretations of astrological perspectives on this eclipse (or any other, for that matter) and see what you can take from it.  Fact number two: eclipses do not affect everyone in the same way. It makes sense that if you are the leader of an organisation, what you are dealing with may affect others. A prime example is the  current Prince of Wales' chart. Prince William was born on the day of a solar eclipse (I mentioned this in a few of my posts on this blog). This, in itself, is not unusual as eclipses do occur bi-annually. However, as the future King of England, it do
