It might be a long weekend in Australia, but a precise Mercury/Saturn alignment means details matter, and that conversations can carry great weight.
Saturn is a cautious, serious planet. It represents the wisdom that comes from age, from planning and from ‘thinking things through’.
My Dad has a Mercury/Saturn aspect and one of his favourite sayings is ‘Let’s think about this.’
It sometimes takes Dad a loooooong time to get things done, but he says it’s because you can’t rush good planning – it simply takes time. We love him regardless – even when he corrects the grammar and punctuation in the Saturday paper in red pen.
Mercury represents communication, thoughts and ideas so it’s this thorough ‘Dad’ approach to what you say, to making a commitment and when setting a schedule that Mercury and Saturn represent.
So, your astro weather insight for the weekend includes the following tips:
– scale back OTT commitments
– focus on what you can do or enjoy in a reasonable time frame
– be clear and honest with your words
– know that you’ll be expected to honour a promise or long standing commitment
– plan ahead
– be prepared to make adjustments if timing isn’t efficient
It’s very much a ‘quality over quantity’ energy. You can ensure good experiences through preparation and practical organisation.
Signs in Focus
Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo: Saturn is the traditional ruler of both Capricorn and Aquarius. These four signs may be especially attuned to – and thus influenced by – this alignment.
Mercury is in Aquarius and Saturn is in Scorpio, so these two signs are also energised by this alignment.
In addition, if you’re familiar with your chart, consider the houses that hold 22 Scorpio and 22 Aquarius. This is the exact placement of the aspect, so any planets at these degrees, or the houses that hold them may describe topics or issues for you personally to apply this mental mastery theme.
Have you got a big decision to review or finalise? Are you thinking long term, or realising extra effort may be required for mental goals?
