Saturn-Jupiter Contacts:
When Saturn
makes contact with Jupiter, a natural positive attitude and faith in one's
self can be inhibited, if not crushed. During one's Saturn Return an internal
voice with lots of "should's, could's and would's" can manifest or get louder. At this time one will
want to make choices only if there is a one-hundred percent guarantee of the
predicted outcome. Since Jupiter also is associated with personal beliefs
and meaning, one can become obsessed with searching for meaning in one's life
during the Saturn Return. Most importantly, Saturn contacting Jupiter in the birthchart can make one fearful of success, exposure, and expansion of one's innate talents and natural abilities.
Thoughts to consider
and suggestions:
Practice random acts of absurdity. Take leaps of faith. Be a risk taker. Dialogue
with the overly-restrictive moral voice inside you. Ask yourself, " Do I see-saw
too much between self-doubt and self-inflation?" "Am I fearful of becoming really successful at something that I enjoy doing?"
Saturn-Uranus Contacts:
People with these contacts in the birthchart have to deal with a certain amount
of stressful change from time to time and especially during the Saturn Return.
These people have the ability to be great, cautious reformers and can develop
deep reservoirs of will power. During the Saturn Return a couple of concrete
issues can manifest. One, sudden and stressful life changes can occur which
can create major mental blowouts. Two, the need to experience and experiment
with life can be squashed by the overly traditional, overly conservative Saturn
tendencies.
Thoughts to consider
and suggestions:
Balance your lifestyle with non-stressful activities at this
time. Ask yourself, "Are the upheavals and changes in my life creating too
much strain and potentially going to create a mental breakdown?
Saturn-Neptune Contacts:
For my brothers and sisters born between 1970-2--and who are currently
going through their Saturn Returns--this essay is dedicated to you. Many of
you will have a Saturn-Neptune opposition in your birthchart. When the Saturn-Neptune
complex is activated, very little is worse. This is the configuration of depression,
existential despair, and the belief that life is completely futile and hopeless.
Since Neptune is the planet of imagination--of image--Saturn can create an
incredibly bleak and dark imagination in which the world looks like a big,
black hole. One's self image can be remarkably pessimistic and unsuitable.
Fear can rule one's world. This aspect can also enervate the ego, weaken the
body, and create tremendous self-denial and religious guilt. This really is
one of the tougher Saturn Returns to navigate. But, if successfully navigated,
one can have a sense of inner meaning, purpose, and beauty that few others
can reach.
Thoughts to consider
and suggestions: Food is good. Make St. John's Wort your friend. Don't
overindulge the urge to isolate one's self. Remain active. Watch Ingmar Bergman
flicks only in moderation at this time. Ask yourself: "Does my self-image match who I really
am? Do I deny myself daily pleasure? Do I feel guilty about my life choices.
Is my imagination destroying my foundations?"
Saturn-Pluto Contacts:
People with natal Saturn-Pluto contacts can be obsessively controlling of
themselves and those around them. They can be incredibly strict with themselves
and very disciplinarian. They can also shun personal power or become madly
obsessed by it. During the Saturn Return for these folks, a daily regime can
be in place that makes bootcamp look like Sesame Street. Diet, sex, and exercise
can reach the most extreme limits of human potentials for these people.
Thoughts to consider
and suggestions:
As hard as it might be, allow for free time in one's schedule. Sleep in on
weekends. Ask yourself: "Am I becoming obsessed to the extent that I ruining
my life and the lives of those around me? Do I demand complete control of
my environment and my work?"
