Kick back and enjoy the peak of summer, our social life is calling but work is put on hold by the weather, vacations, and an exact opposition between Jupiter and Saturn. Although we can still plan ahead and make overtures for the fall, now is a good time to rest up and nurture our relationships, our web of community. We can light a spark and nurture healthy networks now that Venus and Mars are glowing together in sociable and friendly Libra, beautifully visible in the early evening sky.

This Jupiter and Saturn opposition is interlaced with this year’s big astrological news, as Saturn squares Pluto, opposes Uranus and changes our world. Jupiter moves faster than these guys and is just passing through. Whenever a corner of this T-square is struck, the whole pattern rings and big steps are taken to help us shift gears. Looking back through history we will see this time between 2008 and 2012 as absolutely pivotal in defining the future.

But each corner of this big pattern has its own flavor. Jupiter and Saturn act as social arbitrators; they express two balancing extremes of the social and political spectrum. Saturn symbolizes contraction, strength, tradition, walls, inflexibility, and potentially stingy, business, conservatism. Jupiter symbolizes the opposite, expansion, publication, global approach, generosity, potential enabling, and liberalism. We feel interactions between these two more in a cultural way than a personal way, and this week we can expect a temporary political stalemate as the pull between conservative and liberal elements seems to hit equilibrium.

So how does this affect us personally? We may have some great ideas to expand our life but find they run right into our harsher ideas of reality, and so we wonder if we can do it because of restrictions of responsibilities or resources. Some person, place, thing, or lack thereof, may seem to stand in our way and make our dreams difficult. Our desire to stay safe and secure may be challenges by our need to pry us out of the well-worn ruts of our life, no matter how comfortable, and expand our horizons. Our cushy and comfortable habits are challenged by a new need for personal discipline in order to live healthfully in the future. The challenge of this opposition is to find a responsible, fiscally sound way (Saturn at its best) to expand our world and generously help one another (Jupiter).

I feel this.

Thank you, WhiteTara. :)
