If
I look at the world around me, and also
perceiving my own rhythms, it is easy to
see that we are not living our lives
much in balance. The balance between
work and relaxation, the balance between
giving and taking, the balance between
nature and culture, the balance between
my needs and yours.
In
the
larger
picture
there
always
is balance. If I would be a very
restless person, I would automatically
attract very layback personalities. If I
would not have any planets in the
element water in my chart, I would
automatically attract people with an
overdose of water in their horoscopes.
If I would have been born during a
Saturn-Uranus oppositions and would only
live out the Uranus part, I would
automatically attract the more Saturnian
types. And by the way, if I would have
been born in the 60'ies with the
Saturn-Uranus opposition I would right
now in these Uranus-Saturn times change
from more Uranian to more Saturnian, or
vice versa, from more Saturnian to more
Uranian in order to balance the scales
in my life on towards further wholeness.
But it would feel like balance gone lost
for a while, this new balance in the
making. So on the whole, together
with our own past or together with the
outer world, there always is balance.
For
the times to come the accent for
balancing is with the polarity:
"Cooperation
- versus doing
your
own
thing".
Currently
Uranus is not yet in Aries (doing its
own thing), so cooperation will be the
stronger. To take care that things do
not explode the other way around next
year it is necessary to not suppress any
feelings of freedom and independence in
our goals for cooperation. So it could
be a good idea to use the upcoming
timeframe of Saturn in Uranus
consciously to create more balance
between that which you must
do, and that which you wish
to do.
Saturnus
will
enter
Libra
today,
meaning
Thursday
October
29
at
20.10
pm.
During
the
months
of
April-July
2010 it will return to Virgo, where the
polarity is more between work and
relaxation. Once again, as in the past 2
years. But in August 2010 we will
see the new polarity at work wholesale,
i.e. personally, but also structurally
in politics or on a mundane level.
Another
factor to take into account is that
Saturn in Libra may also mean
The
karma of not making any choices.
This
would be very much the case for the
Pluto in Libra generation born in the
70'ies, a generation which on the whole
finds it extremely difficult to make
choices. Saturn is the ruler of Pluto
right now, and Pluto in Capricorn may be
forcing us to restructure things. Again,
the choice needs to be right now taking
responsibility for our liaisons with
others yet making sure at the same time
we are not suppressing our own need for
independence. That could be the gift
that the Pluto in Libra generation might
bring to the world.
Times
will not be easy in the months ahead.
Taking responsibility keeps being the
key and is not the most popular of
things, yet it creates magic. Rather
than getting depressed, open your heart,
and move into the months ahead with an
open heart in the restructuring of your
life, privately and collectively by
force of necessity.
