When folks discuss in regards to the astrological New Age, we virtually all the time place the influences of the planetary ruler of the Aquarius signal, Uranus.
We infrequently discuss in regards to the affect of Aquarius' co-ruling planet, Saturn.
Saturn simply doesn't have the identical glam attraction.
Though given the place of co-ruler, we neglect that till Uranus was found not way back, on March 13, 1781, Saturn was the only real astrological ruler of Aquarius and has been since historic occasions.
Uranus is chargeable for dashing up your life. However hardly ever talked about Saturn, the Lord of Time and Karma, does simply the other. He slows issues down.
Uranus releases previous methods of pondering to be able to usher in new ideas and concepts. Saturn clings tenaciously to the constructions of the aged, the previous, the standard, and struggles to vary till its final breath.
Uranus is a forward-looking, progressive vitality that idealizes equality. Saturn is a conservative vitality that values sustaining the best way issues have all the time been achieved in patriarchal phrases.
Whereas Uranus brings fixed change and a stressed spirit, Saturn is at its facet working to develop our character by forcing us to beat the urge to continually entertain ourselves with new experiences.
Saturn negates our urges to embrace the brand new and forces us to domesticate endurance, overcome quick consideration spans with fortitude, and above all, transcend our youthful calls for for private ego affirmation by cultivating humility.
Uranus is just like the Disneyland dad who earns the love and admiration of youngsters by continually exposing them to thrilling new rides on the theme park.
Saturn is the daddy again dwelling holding down the fort, being there when issues get robust and imposing a lot wanted construction and self-discipline when issues are going properly.
We’d like each to present our greatest.
So the following time you hear somebody discuss how revolutionary the following few thousand years are destined to be, remind them that whereas that will very properly be true, there's additionally a stabilizing power that isn't going away anytime quickly.
Saturn is our root. He waves a banner that claims “The extra issues change, the extra they keep the identical.” Nature loves stability. She is aware of it breeds longevity. And that's the way it must be.
Could the power be with us all.
