Planetary Stations and Things Moving Forward

“The act of perception is always open-ended and unfinished.” David Abrams

“Out at sea the dawn wind
Wrinkles and slides. I am here
Or there, or elsewhere. In my beginning.” TS Eliot

Saturn stationed direct Monday October 10 and started forward motion on Monday. Saturn governs gravity and is associated with being held down or held back. Often when Saturn is retrograde, as it has been since May 23, it can feel as if little progress or forward movement can be made. But Saturn also is the ruler of time and often with more time, different decisions – or more complete decisions can be made. It’s wise for the next few days or so to make note of any new perceptions that may arise as significant information can come to the surface. Also with Mercury retrograde it may be time for a revision in thinking.

There are other planets preparing to station direct as well- on October 18 Mercury and Jupiter will both station direct. Pluto stationed on October 6. It is a somewhat rare occurrence to have so many planets stationing direct in a short time frame – and this represents a powerful time for a change in terms of perspectives and priorities. It’s likely to feel like a freer, more optimistic time where different options and opportunities present themselves.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A council of ancestors has been called to guide a woman.”
