This looks like she is some sort of fashion-feral astrological Big Brother house and holding her skirt open to the stars.
But flashing Saturn will not – annoyingly – do anything to deter a Saturn transit. If only it were so…
Saturn is just a few weeks away from clearing the zone it’s been whoring over since January & well, if you’ve got anything at 14 to 18 degrees of a Cardinal Sign – Aries/Kataka-Cancer/Capricorn/Libra – you’ll know all about.
Self-criticism is, of course, a healthy sort of a trait to have but enough already.
That New Moon at the end of the month is going to feel real good: a lot of us will be graduating Saturn Academy.
Me: it’s been opposing my Mercury in Aries and i actually realised that i am an idiot. Not in some drooling dolt-like display of it but there are whole areas of things about which i know nothing, that my attention span is that of a nano-gnat, that I don’t need to pretend to be ‘intellectual’ when i’m not & I way prefer blogging and doing horoscopes to any other form of writing…such as books or some imaginary erudite thing i might technically think i want to write.
The site crashed, forcing me to shell out $$$ on a fancy designated server so as to communicate and making me realise how much i emotionally value this site and the peeps here, being able to write here and having it read. I had a really interesting fling that was also thought provoking as he was super-smart but a completely different generation and i deleted a whole pack of peeps from my contact list. That’s just off the top of my head.
So Saturn it’s been great and the hazing was character-building and all, i get it. But still looking forward to in a few weeks time…
My Saturn Tip put simply: If you’re having a Saturn transit and you think there is some change you could make that would be good for health, wealth or to avoid general dysfunction, just do it a.s.a.p.
And you guys?
Saturn on my ascedent. Went through the break up of a ten year friendship, dove head first into work in the film industry, started going to therapy with my mother to work ish out, had a fling that ended up meaning more than I thought. I can tell its near the end becuase I am feeling way lighter and happier to just be myself. Its a sigh of relief and an opening of the eyes. Like others, this is my daily blog and I cherish it so so much! Its both poignant and comical with some really great art and… Read more »
Thanks MM for sharing…
Albeit not a frequent visitor, there are certainly times/phases when I think wtf is going on and one of the things I do to seek clarity is check in here to see what’s a happening
I know you’re busy at the moment, however am more than happy to wait till you’ve time to prepare my chart 8)
love & light
xox
I love this pic. So I’m seeing the one on the left being naughty-devil-on-the-shoulder screaming in her ear “go on, go on, DO IT, flash ya bits!” and the other two angels on the right are recoiling in horror hiding their faces, “oh no, we can’t believe she actually hitched her skirts in front of all of San Francisco…”
And I’m thinking they need to be told, Darlings, we’ve all done that, direct your outrage towards providing some throw cushions for the overly angular furnishings.
Still Saturnine in it’s own way.
Sorry about that. something I feel strongly. and . . . er . . . a myriad of ‘arenas’.
Yes one post makes such a huge difference to many lives. Sure has done mine. Like Ubervirgo, my Saturn has now finally left my 10th house. Talk about barking up the wrong tree! Yahoo, now off my back. I’m allowed to ‘fail’,nobody ever said I had to have loads of money and a fabulous career. Do what you love! I had a really interesting fling that was also thought provoking as he was super-smart I way prefer blogging and doing horoscopes to any other form of writing…such as books or some imaginary erudite thing i might technically think i want… Read more »
I dunno Mystic my hunted down copies of your past books are well thumbed (& stained lol). Always cheer me up when I need to referencing some human being hehe. They sit next to the grand lady Linda G. This is the site I loiter in daily. Yes, realised some heavy shit about myself, mostly through my own self assessment & awareness, taking into consideration what’s been screamed at me by ex’s friends and lovers. Pattern recognition etc. It’s been about my communication with others and with myself. How repressed I’d become from the hang over of being on the… Read more »
Love you long time Mystic
Who knows how many challenging situations you have helped us all glide over, vibing cool as, and unaffected by the relentless inner and outer shit-storms of late.
Me? I ended up this weekend far from ‘home safe’, partying like there was no tomorrow. Wound up on a moonlight picnic with young, beautiful, uncomplicated males down Byron way…
Expect the unexpected and flow with the go baby
Saturn transit is just getting going 4 me – its done square my nodal axis, ouch – I left home, my dad died 6 months ago & my mum wants me there taking care of her like I always did, leaving was sooo hard but my sistas r there & I had to leave – Saturn in the 9th … So now I’m in south america looking for work, just missed out on a job that looked good but meant a city move I didn’t really want. I don’t feel too goddam sure of anything actually !! Saturn is now… Read more »
Oh, crap. I feel like hyperventilating just thinking about it. Saturn has been conjunct pluto in my third house – unpleasant realisation that my profession hinges on my brain, and if I dont know enough people might actually die or other Bad Things may happen. So no excuses, expectation that others may fix this or slacking off is going to work for me at the moment. I just walk around with a deep seated twinge of unease every time I think about it. I have also come to the realisation that the field within my profession that I truly enjoy… Read more »
Saturn rules. Sit in his palm, look up to that majesty, and let him carry you through the tough times. The best teacher is Saturn- eternal, constant, and powerful. I’ve got a lot of natal Saturn squares- the hardest one being with Sun- all I can say is those experiences were HARD, they are always hard. Life has been a challenge, and it will remain one…but this isn’t a bad thing. It puts one in touch with the oldest energies the universe has to offer. It allows you to really remake one’s self and your circumstances with the best building… Read more »
17.26 aries – saturn is so with me right now, and as promised, it has been all about doing the hard yards. A month of being unable to pull myself out of a hole post eclipses was just the tip of the iceberg it seems. Marriage split woes have become confused with my estranged partner pulling out all the stops to try to win me back (but he hasn’t learnt the lesson and I just feel weird about things and want to move on, but can’t right now). Letting go of hope with the karmic tie who never came to… Read more »
have you read Broken Open by Elisabeth Lesser? A good book for what you are going through….often the role of people is to draw attention to what needs to change – somewhat like Saturn really. We get sucked into the lure of it all, but their karmic role is different – i imagine there is someone else who will enter your world when you are ready and know what you need next time. let the tears flow as cleansing salts…..
Thanks for the tip – I’m up for anything right now that will help gain some clarity. He has been so important to me in terms of becoming a better person and heaps of spiritual growth but I really need to get a grip now as everything else in my life has suffered whilst he has been floating around.
yes life has a tendency to go on hold when these relationships are in our orbit….I have had a similar experience and only just coming out of it now and feeling a bit lost as to how to pick everything up again – all seems mundane and a bit flat this normal life stuff.
Thank you, Saturn has been squaring my poor ol 18 degree Cancer sun for what seems like forever. January you say?
Dont care if people see me different, bimbonic (getting it alot with new job, in a male dominated industry) so I play along.. I dont need to prove myself to anyone but me. And a hefty dose of self esteem. Thank you Saturn, what a great teacher you are, But i bid you farwell until our next lesson…………… Cherrio xxx
Hey a new job! Well done Sassmeister! I hope you enjoy your new workmates and the space you work in – big up to you sista.
Thanks love… finally.. Its good.. were you setting up a business?
Yes, but I have had a few delays. That’s okay, working with Spirit I must respect that the right time is not up to me alone. I think I have a few kinks to iron out before I can get everything in motion (personal energy issues). Thanks for the interest!
Thoughts on Saturn I woke a couple of Days ago and I looked into the mirror , I freaked to see I was Saturn spooky!!
“Saturn spooky” love it!
Well!! Me sun 16 aries
sister sun 17 aries venus 18 aries with cancer moon
Brother Asc 16 libre sun/moon 20 cancer saturn 25 cap.
Graduating will feel so good…
This site is a wonderful way to get ‘stuff’ up and out and I for one am greatful to be able to comunicate in a language I know with like minded folks.
The only book I would like to write is one that starts with:
the names have been changed to protect the adventurous. Story…. true!
Mystic ultimately your goal as a writer is, I think, to be read and read widely by your target audience. Why write a book that will take ages to (i) find publisher (ii) write (iii) go through editorial process with Virgo grammar font psycho and (iv) sell (with small percentage of profits being returned to you, the author), when you can weave your wisdom and magic here on the site in real time (so can talk about the events happening now), bringing in new to astro peeps and others with a lot of understanding and making a real difference to… Read more »
Grand Mystic , you are amazing . They way You weave the story of the Cosmos into Daily Living .That is a Gift ,We are blessed to have you! Ok Intellect !!!! But where is the heart ! I say you are more because of your open heart you bridge mind and heart! My fantasy is to sit around with You and a group of peeps and talk !!! And cook you a meal ! My Saturn lessons are to long to post !!
oh yeah, sure know all about it….. with Sun in Aries at 14 opposing Saturn in Libra…. had an interesting flirtatious fling thing with Libran (his sun at 16 degrees)….so we were both going through saturn transits – his one conjuncting his sun – mine opposing sun. full on opposites attract thing with him. He was so embodying Saturn in real life for me it was just so annoying. So full of morality and responsibility and blocked me every step of my way in my attempt to shag him. ( you see I am ‘married’ already) Geez I am feeling… Read more »
my mercury in aries attention span appears to have wandered when it came to having a saturn transit over natal pluto (almost conjunct as we speak) and opposition showdown to mercury, mars and venus. christ. but. it has been a year of slowy slowy committing myself to a creative project that mixed together friendship, family, love and art and for me, who has tended to overprotect such borders this blending is BIG and it has been deeply fulfilling and nurturing for me. Interesting tho, that saturn can be about releasing strictures rather than reinforcing them??? The trickiest thing is the… Read more »
= saturn sweeping the 11th house with a soft broom
Traveling – just was body scanned actually but couldnt ask for a peek to other passengers’ scans – Gem curiosity 🙂 limited time on the net so should be brief –
Mystic you are a spell breaker, and that is what our intellect is for, I prefer a spell breaker to a intellectual garden slug any time 🙂
As a person who ranges from dopey to insightful (merc in cancer) then shallow to deep (gem rising, moon in scorp) I do not feel qualified to discuss intellect. Perhaps it isn’t the greatest compliment you could want, but I LOVE this blog. If devoted all your time to great literary works, my day wouldn’t be half as fun! As for Saturn, he’s transiting my 4th. Have had my home space cleared, a fire that cleared my house’s chakras, attempted some d.i.y. Feng Shui, fixing up a dedicated space for energy work… (Next Saturn stuff on my to do list… Read more »
…dopey to insightful, lol, ok thats prob a description I can accept, my merc at the end of cancer is still yet to have its saturn transit … does it make us a bit less dopey ??
I can get way too emo in my comms at times, but yes insight too.
euro pp sounds good !!
Note to Mystic, whose (according to her) “attention span is that of a nano-gnat”, I’d ask you to refer back to your own sage advice given here:
and suggest that you truly don’t need to pretend to be ‘intellectual’ or anything other than your own self – but that ‘if’ a germ of an idea/dream remains … consider offering it some oxygen, some bit of attention. While that seed may not blossom into a communal orchard it may well bear fruit for your most personal progression.
Staurn squaring Moon and Ascendant. Trying to think of some postives, but there haven’t been a whole heap. Really, really glad and feeling so much lighter now it is almost over. I guess I have thought harder about how I can be a better friend to people and how I could potentially be a better partner (if I had one). Oh yes, lots of fun.
Libra sun conjunct pluto in Libra. Oh did I mention that I am having my saturn return? It’s like one long trip to the doctor for every ailment. And I’m taking a pile of dynament to blow up all the crap that held me back in the past. I did some preparation in the last few years, so this is actually a very liberating period. I’ve been trying to do damage control from the years before where I felt at least that I had no control over anything. Plus people wanted to dress me up in ways that they thought… Read more »
That last part is so true lwt! Saturn in Libra has been hard for this Libra, but I’ve also gotten a goody bag too. :3 It’s been tears and candy!
I’m sorry it’s been tears for you. It’s tough to be a libra these days.
I feel like a soldier going on long marches everyday I and finding I want complete indepedence in my life – I no longer want to be like anyone else in my life, my career, my persona. My SR has seemed to arrive with a new fuq you attitude I didn’t have before.
My Venus is in spot-on opposition to Saturn, as is its loosely conjunct Chiron, and my Moon is loosely square… Feel like I’m getting creamed…into a mushier, more mature porridge-y version of myself. LOVE this blog. Just found it yesterday.
saturn square my natal sun right now…..fun stuff on the personal front. Sun in 11th and transiting saturn in 2nd.
saturn in my 2nd house has been rough on the finances. so glad it is no longer retrograde.
restructuring my life right now, in every way.
It began hovering back and forth over my MC and that coincided with a grueling 2nd semester of Nursing School. I think the transit finishes in October, and I’m really only grateful that I still have a job since I’ve heard unemployment was the theme of a 10th house transit. *shudder*
*10th house saturn transit
Pluto transiting my the top of my chart (9 and 10) and Saturn at bottom brought profound career transformation to me. For the better and worse. I manifested what seemed like fantastic positions and then destroyed them because, although I was quite competent and appreciated, they were wrong for me.
I love this site too and it’s the first one I visit in the a.m. It’s my little secret and one that I only share the wisdom of with those I truly care about and want to help. You’ve helped more people than you know keep their sanity. As for dear old Saturn can’t say that I’ve been directly affected. I do know that from late April to early August I had a job which if anything came to make me realize what I suspected all along. I hate all things, people, tasks that are superficial. But I love and… Read more »
mystic have you read much of Danielle Laporte’s site (white hot truth)? she’s fab and talks about well, lots of self-devi things. Ditching what’s not really you and getting better at what you’re best at, that sorta stuff. Her words have contributed several pavers on my pathway to communicating (and feeling totally chilled about) who I am better & what I really, truly, madly deeply want to the outside world/universe. Now, I know you don’t need much of that medicine because you’re already amazing, but what you wrote resonated because you tuned into the fact that what you really love… Read more »
I had a look at Danielle’s site UP, I really like her head space, thanks.
Thanks for the reference – that’s a GREAT site 🙂 🙂
… I checked out the White Hot Truth site you noted, unpredictable pisces. Laporte’s work (and energy) is bold, fiery and interesting. But the ‘look’ of the site is a little everywhere (aesthetically), don’t you agree? Apologies in advance if I’ve offended; I’ve got Venus in Virgo house 1 and Mercury in Virgo house 2 = attention to fine detail to the max and in a fussy kinda stressy way (Read: 2 planets in Virgo makes for some obsession with deets) + Sun-Pluto-NthNode in Libra also in House 2 = fussy about aesthetics/details also (hence, this site is definitely Libra/Virgo… Read more »
AWWWW. I LOVE this blog, it’s the only site I come to every day besides hotmail.
me too!
Saturn is saddled up and riding my 7th house with spurs on opposite my Sun but finally-finally-finally separating; of course it is still applying in opposition to my Mercury *sighs*. It is also trining my 12th house Saturn so … I am also gaining ground in important areas. I am doing (some version of) “the best” I can but secretly want to lash out because I resent the shtuff I’ve allowed others to get way with in my adult life. Resent that they continue to discount that I give more of me to them than they’ve ever done for me.… Read more »
Conjunct mercury apparently equals car problems right now.
Have been pondering taking a big step in regards to drawing the line with a certain Virgo. Have been asking for signs and your post is just another sign that tells me the change I was thinking I needed to do for me is a good thing.
My beloved family dog of fifteen years passed away and I realized that she was, other than my immediate family, one of the most significant relationships and relating I have ever had. A Jack Russell, so lots of brains & beauty & love & fun.
When we walked, every so often I would stop and nuzzle her head to my knee and connect. I told her that I loved her all of the time.
aww RIP little puppy. Hope she is chasing butterflies and sleeping in sunny grass in the doggy Summerland.
so sorry….my 15 year old that passed last month was named Lucy.
oh no! *hugs* a friend of mine lost his cat of 16 years.
Poor pets lasted longer than some jobs or relationships.
Really sorry to hear this, Lucy, We lost our Jack Russell, Rosie, after 16.5 years and it was heartbreaking. Our fur friends teach us so much about the power of love, don’t they? Big hugs, blossom.
It always feels like work in my world.
Ok not always. But it has done for quite a while now.
The only difference seems to be when I try to make it other than that. And then it just becomes crappier work.
Blah. Hi ho
actually of late the only aspects saturn has been making is being the point of a yod with my moon and jupiter/SN/MC as the base.
Not surprising it’s been about channelling everything as ‘work’.
Mystic, there is some saying that basically says something like: the more you realise you don’t know, the wiser you are. You have such a depth of intuitive feminine wisdom, don’t sell yrself short. My life has been enormously boosted since discovering you. I think you are working up to this Pisces Full Moon. YOU ARE AWESOME. xx As for Saturn, he’s lurkng in my 8th and past hitting on my Kataka Moon or any other nasty aspects. All I can say is my umm sex life has become way more satisfying, playful and kinkier/experimental than ever before and I’m… Read more »
Of course, AHA moment, Pluto is opp my Mars/Moon (5th) at the moment – past my Mars and moving towards my Moon within 5 degrees. Also my two major lovers this year (totally separately) have Mars in Aqua and Venus in Aries – not an obvious match to my Mars in Cancer conj Venus in Gem. But with the Toro we have more clues to compatibility with other aspects, our progressed charts and fabulous composite chart. It feels like a Two of Cups relationship.
Interesting…. Saturn is about to pop out of my 2nd in Libra and into my 3rd in Saggitarius. I have NO idea what this means – which is why I love & appreciate you so much Mystic !!! I HAVE had a Satori Moment in the Morley Dole office and I now fully comprehend the illusion of reality and time, which is nice. So I have stopped reading the news cold (data junkie of reading 6 papers a day minimum for the last two decades….) And I have become vegetarian, after a year and a half on a high protein… Read more »
well, if anyone wants to rent me a lovely apartment for a good price which has enough space for artmaking, room for friends to stay over, close to a swim-able water body, secure, natural light, pleasant outlook, that would just be lovely. Preferred cities: somewhere with an art school and ability to earn money – Sydney, Melbourne, Paris, Bordeaux, St Tropez, Buenos Aires, Shanghai (what the hell), somewhere in costa rica, Bologna, french or Italian alps, …
since saturn is transiting my 4th house. you know, getting the home base sorted 😉
Best wishes with house move, unpredictable pisces. There’s a good number of apartments available that fit your description in Melbourne, with the exception of swim-able water, and waves (good for collecting shells only!). Recently I moved into an apartment close to the beach in a leafy and serene suburb in Melb; I landed a small apartment in a secure block, lots natural light, tree-top views + wooden floors (taurus moon) pleasant neighbourhood – peaceful surrounds. To my knowledge, it also exists in Paris, Ios Island (Grece, pre-that-financial-stife striking this yr) … I totally get your list of must-haves, and have… Read more »
Saturn is transiting my 4th/10th too – so my offspring & I are moving house yet again – *sigh*… hopefully I’ll have a new job by the end of this month also – something more Arts focused and satisfying.
current abode looks like a bomb hit it after spending the entire weekend sorting through everything – filled a skip bin with junk & took 2 car loads of salvage to the Salvation Army. Feels good to be free of stuff. I plan to move to the next house sans clutter. Yay. (I can’t stand moving house)…
xx
Beijing might be cool too, if they could just sort out the air pollution. Or Moscow. apparently that city is astro-geographically good for me. I think it’s Venus-related. Copenhagen. Reykjavik. the list goes on 🙂
i go all shivery when i see peeps telling the world what it is they desire – sometimes it’s enough to make it so. I hope you receive/achieve whatever it is that will make your ideal life manifest UP.
🙂 thanks whatevs, and to you too.
You should ask for some nice quiet neighbours too I reckon, you know, just to cover off the lovely apartment good price = neighbours from hell base.
😉
And Mystic, you are a national , international , intergalactic writer here. Whatever you do with others is your business 😉 but how much you are giving here cannot be measured. But at least take stock, how connected are so many peeps here, all through your genius?!
You can’t stop the music.
You are so pricelessly appreciated. Xx
I really wish there were “like” or “thanks” buttons.
I agree twinfishrising.
So, much negativity in the world it’s great that MM incites creativity and personal growth. Kudos to that in itself is a great feat. 🙂
Saturn’s opposite my 2nd and Chiron, so, less than feeling like an idiot I have been feeling like – ” oh well, shit happens. Even if some shit only seems to happen repeatedly to me in history, its just shit, that’s all. ” Get to know thy shit and see things a whole lot more kaleidescopically. Tollerance and forebarance open the psyche to maturation.
New romantic crush as Saturn approaches Uranus in 8th. Could be due for an independent and rad style affair. Yes!!
Love the picture! She’s showing Saturn her bits…. Mostly the changes that have been occurring have to do with job stuff for me, but then again Saturn is transiting my 10th house ….so it’s like duh…. I’ve sheared off some peeps that were on the friends list who have been lackluster. When i was presented with my whole 1 person to date for an entire year, I managed to pull out of it before going down to a bad place. It takes a lot of willpower to say “yes” to boundaries when you’ve been in a dry spell for years… Read more »
good for you on the boundaries…working on this massively this year.
I’ve also come to the conclusion that I have “overactive empathy” and I need to start shielding myself better.
ME TOO! I can always see things from the other person’s perspective, so of course I understand.
Aside from that, Saturn is finally out of my 10th and halle-fuqing-lujah — the last several years Saturn slogging in an effort to ignite my 10th house Uranus into enduring career liberation. Not quite there yet, but my Saturn opp at least brought home the realization — my accomplishments might not add up to perfection, but they’re good enough.
Oh, and I meant to add, this site saw me through countless hours saturning away in front of the monitor, providing a daily warm up, the best scopes on the planet, stimulation, inspiration, a great bunch of friends and MEGA lolz. In other words, MM, I’d be lost withoutcha.
Like purpleta mentions below, this is the only site I actually frequent, except for the news and weather (Virgos need to be prepared). And facebook can bite me.
Cripes, if you’re an idiot, Mystic, what the hell are we going to call the majority of people less accomplished than you? Hm?
we sure as hell emotionally appreciate your blog too. Yay for Saturn- well for you anyhoo.
For moi, April to Aug was ‘orrid. It’s been rough.
Will be happy to have somehow worked out the messages and moved on. Next?!
