The waxing Moon indicates a week of progress, but with serious Saturn receiving a number of aspects it’ll be important to honour commitments, keep your promises and stick to your schedule as much as possible.
Monday: Sun square Saturn, 4 Pisces/4 Sagittarius
The Sun square Saturn can bring contraction. If so, it’s time to get back to basics. Focus on core priorities and limit distractions. This can be a heavy or melancholy influence and the astro vibe will lighten once this aspect passes. Issues to do with an authority figure, your father or a pressing deadline might arise. Saturn is all about limits and responsibilities so it might be important to work hard to keep up your end of an arrangement.
Tuesday: Venus trine Saturn, 4 Aries/4 Sagittarius
This is an interesting aspect. Venus in Aries can fight for independence, freedom or the need to go solo, and go fast. However Saturn holds things, slows things down and asks for consideration to larger factors.
Working together, Venus and Saturn can bring a reality check around why it may be important to work with others, rather than forge ahead alone. Commitments and contracts within key partnerships might be in focus. If so, take it slow, work things through and settle on a plan that is workable and manageable for both the short and long term.
Thursday: Mars trine Saturn, 4 Aries/4 Sagittarius
Ebertin describes Mars/Saturn as ‘endurance’ and I would have to agree. Mars is the energy principle; it shows how we drive forward. Saturn symbolises caution and the need to prepare, organise or plan.
Together Mars can help you push through a problem; while Saturn keeps things steady and helps you avoid a rash choice. You might dance between an inner landscape which holds both a desire for progress as well as worry or fear about what might be.
In the ideal scenario, you get the best of Saturn. This can happen when you tap into that inner voice of wisdom that helps you be thorough in what you do, without letting fear take over. That is, acknowledge your worry but move forward anyway. Not recklessly but with care, consideration and focus.
How is your week shaping up? Will any of these Saturn triggers touch your chart?
